    Is that the shark chewing the undersea network cable?

    Yes, the fiber that is at the bottom of the ocean. Happens more often than you think

    well then they shouldn't have put nice chew-toys for the sharks in the ocean.

    This has expanded more and more each time I've seen it in the last few weeks

    What amazes me more is that I have the original of this one (from it's original posting), which was posted maybe 2 days ago at most, it has already been shared and re-downloaded enough to start showing compression artifacts.

    You know a meme is good when it looks moldy after just 2 days

    To anyone wondering, this is the original xkcd, before r/programmerhumor started progressively extending it after the cloudflare and aws outages took the whole web with them

    Wow, that means there's a second relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1683

    Honestly I find it funny to see an even further extension of the meme every six hours or so.

    It’s the low effort chuckle I live for

    Right? I just shared a previous version 15 minutes ago on a Discord server. Now I need to update my update.

    I work in telecom and trust me you don't want to have it included

    It's just a ball of wire. CATS EVERYWHERE!

    Me2, that is why I want it included. Ours are really clean and structured.

    With the aging American power grid, I think that block is wayyyy too solid!

    I’m “C developers writing dynamic arrays”. My project at work (which is mostly C) has its own custom dynamic array (and hash table, etc). It’s not like this is some highly-optimized domain-specific version. I guess it is domain-specific but it’s worse than a CS class implementation. I do have permission to fix it though so wish me luck

    It's all just derivative of https://xkcd.com/2347/ which is five years old at this point?

    Something is missing.

    Semiconductors and microchips don't emerge out of nothing. Lots of engineered civil wars and conflict minerals, slavery and green washed slavery are in the base along with electricity. Rare earth driven boycotts, a certain American govt sponsoring and executing coups, ongoing genocides. Tech lives on blood essentially.

    Is this coincidence that Rust is targeted at Oracle?
