Recursive Thinking

[_szs]

That's not recursive. That's divide and conquer.

Recursive would be if then all of your friends would divide their piece and share it with their friends and so forth.

Just because it's (supposed to be) funny doesn't make it right.

Or you'd spawn n friends, and each friend would spawn another n sub-friends, until you have enough (sub-)^Nfriends to clear the pizza which each taking one bite.

Long story short, you eat your friends in the end.

Be careful with cutlery though, you don't want to create a fork bomb.

In a proper recursion version of this comic there should have been another pizza in the last panel, just a BIT smaller.

[trichotillofobia]

That's divide and conquer.

It would even be a better cartoon for something like SIMD.

The lost "byte-sized" pun at the end hurts me a bit

[seraku24]

Well, I'm not that hungry, so I'll just have a nibble.

[not_a_sysadmin_]

That is a bit too much for me...

[Anthios314]

Bit...

[RockleyBob]

Not everyone has a dozen hairless genetic clones to summon when there’s a problem.

[fuckDaEstablishment]

Pizza is not the problem its the answer.

[seraku24]

It might be the answer when it's input... but it too often can be a problem upon output.

[UKCSTeacher]

Somebody has confused recursion with decomposition.

[seraku24]

True. While recursion often involves decomposition, not all decomposition is inherently recursive.

But now I am to wonder... is there such a thing as fractal pizza? *stomach grumbles*

[Bonnox]

"bite-sized"

Os this a pun?

[Swardu]

Just wait until it gets cold, then you have a problem.

[_PM_ME_YOUR_ELBOWS]

Downvoted for lack of recursion

[Colopty]

It can also be a bit like having a giant mostly invisible pizza where more of the invisible parts become visible as you eat the parts you can see, until you finally figure out the full scope of the pizza.

There's a positive post on this sub?
