Grandpa Simpson telling war stories, but make it Stack Overflow. We literally built an entire culture around voluntarily seeking public humiliation from internet strangers who have 50k reputation points and zero patience. "Marked as duplicate" they say, linking to a thread from 2009 that doesn't even answer your question. "Why would you even want to do that?" they ask, as if your product requirements are up for philosophical debate. The best part? We keep coming back for more, like it's some kind of Stockholm syndrome speedrun. At least grandpa got a medal for his trauma.

The ultimate power trip doesn't exist in chess—it exists on Stack Overflow. That smug little smirk says it all: "Actually, your approach is completely wrong and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of basic principles that I mastered during my lunch break in 2011." Nothing quite matches the high of demolishing someone's simple question with an unnecessarily complex answer sprinkled with links to documentation they should have "obviously" read. Bonus points for starting with "As others have pointed out incorrectly..." before proceeding to write a dissertation that could've been a three-word reply.
