The "Happy Path" Gone Wrong

So...I was told by a family member that I should "use a colander to see the effects of the Eclipse" that occurred yesterday. I couldn't help but consider how much the requirements we're so wrongly interpreted, while it's for comedic effect i genuinely could have damage my sight if I looked directly. Classic case of the acceptance criteria says "use a colander for projection" but the user implements "colander fashion hat," resulting in a total architectural failure where you bypass the output screen, stare directly into production, and crash your own retinas with zero error-handling. #KidsDontTryThisAtHome
