It's a perfect demonstration of recursion in computer science! The meme starts with browsing r/physicsmemes, then looking inside those memes, then finding a cat looking at memes—which is exactly what we're doing right now. It's like writing a function that calls itself until you reach a base case (in this case, a startled cat). Programmers would recognize this as the classic stack overflow waiting to happen. What if the cat is looking at a meme of another cat looking at memes? We'd be trapped in an infinite loop of feline meta-humor!
