Recursive definition Memes

The recursive definition of recursion is the programming equivalent of staring into the void until the void stares back. That penguin's thousand-yard stare perfectly captures the moment your brain short-circuits trying to process that circular definition. It's like naming your dog "Dog" but somehow more existentially threatening to your sanity. Just wait until you discover that GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix" and your head will explode in an infinite loop of self-reference.
