Recursive functions Memes

That innocent Tower of Hanoi toy? Just a cute puzzle for toddlers until you hit your first algorithms class. Then it's the harbinger of recursive nightmares that haunt you forever. Nothing says "I've seen things" like flashbacks to calculating the minimum moves for n disks at 2AM while questioning your life choices. That dog's thousand-yard stare is basically every CS student after realizing this "simple toy" requires 2^n-1 operations. Childhood ruined, career path set.
