Oh, the SHEER DESPERATION! Stack Overflow has reached that tragic point in its life where it's literally BEGGING random users to help others! 😱 It's like watching your formerly cool uncle create a dating profile after 20 years of marriage.

Stack Overflow sliding into your DMs at 2am with "u up? got any regex solutions?"
