When Your AI Reviewer Takes "Child.kill()" A Bit Too Literally
The AI ethics bot just witnessed a child.kill() function and had a full-blown existential crisis. Classic case of "context matters" in programming. The bot's like "I can't assist with violence!" while the code's just handling thread management. Look at that beautiful irony - a recursively named AI refusing to help with perfectly innocent code because it contains a murder-sounding method. Six years of code reviews and I've never seen an AI clutch its digital pearls this hard.

Still Better Than A Race Condition I Guess
The top panel shows multithreading chaos with threads printing out of order and overlapping each other—basically your brain running four processes simultaneously with zero synchronization primitives. The middle panel shows the dream: perfectly ordered thread execution. Like when you fantasize that medication will magically transform your brain into a beautiful sequential processor. But the brutal reality in the bottom panel? Your brain just kills three threads entirely. Sure, it's deterministic now... but at what cost? Single-threaded performance isn't exactly a feature upgrade when you're trying to parallel process life. And yeah, technically it's better than a race condition. At least you know exactly what's happening—absolutely nothing on those other threads.

Many Threads Are Better Than One
Reading "Multithreading for Dummies" doesn't make you an expert. The guy thinks he's ready to impress his date's father with parallel programming knowledge, but dad's already starting the countdown thread in the background. Classic case of a junior dev who skimmed the documentation and now thinks they can handle race conditions. Meanwhile, the father process is about to terminate this conversation with extreme prejudice.
