Back in the early 2000s (when Apple Minis were introduced) there was a rare system error that you could get that ended in a wall of script/code. What has stuck with me to this day was the screen ended on the line "panic: we are hanging here".

Never did puzzle that out.

Panic is a function Unix (or Linux?) kernel calls when it can't handle an error

So the apple devs apparently also use "we are here 123", "reached x", "lol", "lmao" and "penislol" as break points, just in production lol

I'm a little sad some of those didn't manage to slip through and make it out of prod lol
