Steal What Is Stolen

Steal What Is Stolen
The coding community's greatest philosophical divide captured in four panels! While designers clutch their pearls over similar ideas ("How DARE you use the same shade of blue-gray that I discovered after three existential crises?"), programmers have transcended intellectual property altogether. The bottom panels reveal the beautiful communist utopia of code sharing. "I stole your code" isn't an accusation—it's practically a love letter. And the response? Not rage, but the zen-like acknowledgment that nobody truly "owns" code. It's just temporarily borrowed from Stack Overflow before being pasted into production environments worldwide. This is why programmers make terrible pirates. They'd leave a thank-you note and pull request after stealing your treasure.

The Great Academic Heist

The Great Academic Heist
The eternal academic food chain in action! Your brilliant physics breakthrough gets "borrowed" by someone else who slaps their name on it and—poof!—you're left with nothing but the satisfaction of seeing your work reposted with zero attribution. It's basically thermodynamics applied to intellectual property: energy transfers from you to them while your recognition approaches absolute zero! The universal constant of academia: conservation of credit never applies when you're the original creator!

The Great Scientific Credit Heist

The Great Scientific Credit Heist
The intellectual property redistribution struggle is real! That moment when you excitedly announce your brilliant innovation only for management to immediately Soviet-ize it with "our revolutionary approach." Classic corporate communism at work—where individual brilliance mysteriously transforms into collective achievement faster than electrons jumping energy levels. Next thing you know, your name vanishes from the project faster than neutrinos passing through lead. The hammer and sickle behind Bugs Bunny isn't subtle, but neither is your boss taking credit for your 3 AM caffeine-fueled breakthrough!
