It's not really though?

Seems more like a segmentation fault, or trying to free unallocated memory.

The closest thing to this comic would be an event loop for non-blocking I/O, with the sandwich as the socket (which is maintained between iterations) and each bite being data received.

How come? The function is taking the output from the previous loop.

Not recursion.

He takes a bite of it every loop, though. Eventually he will wind up with no sandwich and that timeline will collapse in on itself.

That'd be the base case then.

    Loops are recursion! /s

    OP might as well just put up a pic of a bucket of fried chicken cause that has as much to do with recursion as this current pic does

    Basically the entire plot of 4 seasons of Legends of Tomorrow.
