Recursion is one of maybe four programming concepts with a real meme canon. Here is most of it.
The base case is the part everyone forgets. The meme doesn't just describe the bug, it commits it. Panel three is the entire meme again, and again, until the resolution runs out.Proof of concept, roughly a decade early. A cat, a monitor showing the cat, a monitor inside that showing it again. Someone built recursion cat before we did and then went to sleep.Here we go again. The demotivational poster format was already a rigid frame inside a frame, so it took almost no effort to make it eat itself.A stack that never unwinds. The caption stops being a sentence and turns into the error. This is what it looks like from the inside when nothing returns.
All memes here belong to whoever made them. We didn't, we're just appreciating the form.
