Casting malloc's Return Value

Why are you casting the return value of malloc()?

Two anime schoolgirls sit at a computer, and one asks, “Why are you casting the return value of malloc()?” The joke references C programming and the common practice of explicitly casting malloc’s return value, which is unnecessary in C and often considered a warning sign. It is used as a reaction to overly complicated or questionable programming choices.
