At least it won’t be like that infamous Hungarian teacher
cw: awful human being making awful analogies
There was some engineering professor in Hungary, who was convinced rape did not exist and women just made up to control men, and used a shot glass to prove it, by asking his students to try to put their fingers into it while moving it around quickly. Allegedly, just before he got fired, someone took a toy gun in for that analogy, then his head got red and stopped his analogy.
I mean, it’s a pretty good illustration of a deadlock. Most traffic intersections, especially 4-way stops are basically mutexes anyway.
Jamming a circle though… that’s like deadlocking a ring buffer message queue with threaded consumers. Or something. It’s just a spectacular way to break stuff any way you slice it.
You just know the bottom picture will be used in slides by professors for the next 30 years

Ummm… maybe some more context is needed? That makes no sense
