The Recursive Nightmare

The villain's journey from smug confidence to existential dread is the perfect metaphor for recursive functions gone wrong. First panel: "Look at my elegant factorial function!" Second panel: "Let me call it with 5, what could go wrong?" Third panel: "Watch as it multiplies its way down..." Fourth panel: "OH GOD THE STACK IS COLLAPSING." The classic rookie mistake - forgetting your base case in recursion. The computer keeps calling the function deeper and deeper until it runs out of memory. It's like telling someone to look up a word in the dictionary, but the definition just says "see definition of this word."

Price Gouging Went Too NaN

OMG, the audacity of this grocery store! They're literally selling tomatoes labeled "NaN" - as in "Not a Number" - the ULTIMATE error in JavaScript when your price calculation goes completely off the rails! 💸 This is what happens when you let developers run your pricing algorithm and it SPECTACULARLY fails! Those poor tomatoes don't even have a NUMERICAL VALUE anymore! They've transcended economics into the realm of computational EXISTENTIAL CRISIS! How am I supposed to pay for something that mathematically DOESN'T EXIST?! Inflation has gotten so bad even the JavaScript engine has given up trying to calculate prices! 🍅
