Whoever made this deserves a promotion and a psych evaluation. It's a brilliant visual pun using electrical circuit diagrams to illustrate computing concepts. Serial processing executes tasks one after another (like killers waiting their turn), while parallel processing handles multiple tasks simultaneously (killing your CPU efficiency but getting the job done faster). After 15 years of optimizing code, I still chuckle when junior devs discover threading and suddenly want to parallelize everything. Sure kid, enjoy your race conditions and deadlocks—I'll be over here with my popcorn.
