The normally depressing black monitor lit up with a warning, the scientist in front of the computer jumped out of his seat and imagined the horrors that would ensue if it wasn't taken care of just like the manual said. Somehow, a very special tool used by his workplace to keep their secrets secret had gotten into the hands of Reddit.

He confirmed that it was what the computer thought it was and pressed the button by his desk. His co-workers instantly knew. A memetic kill agent image was somehow generated by an AI and posted onto Reddit. These memetic kill agents might seem harmless to some, but those lucky enough not to instantly die when they gaze upon them will quickly realize they can't breathe. These images held math problems so complex that even the human mind wasn't capable to process them, the brain tries to process it but in return it shut downs every other organ, either killing you or leaving you hanging between life and the cliff to death until you stop looking at them.

Luckily, the scientist was one of those who just couldn't breathe while looking at them, so in the second he saw the image and pressed the button, he was fine. Reddit had been shut down and only some were allowed on it. It took them a long time to find where the agent was, mainly since 5 of the 10 workers were just browsing r/shitposting, but they finally shot it off the platform and deleted any left residue.

The scientist then went back to reading his book, thinking about how he is a real superhero.
