The meme perfectly illustrates the fundamental difference between TCP and UDP protocols. In the TCP world, data is carefully handed from sender to receiver with both parties acknowledging the transfer - like responsible parents making sure their baby is securely passed between them. Meanwhile, UDP is just yeeting the data into the void and hoping someone catches it. No handshakes, no acknowledgments, just pure networking chaos. It's the protocol equivalent of "I threw the data in your general direction, what happens next is not my problem."
