The beautiful art of recursive self-torture. The function why_are_you_hitting_yourself() calls itself inside its own definition, creating an infinite loop of self-abuse that would make any compiler cry. Then main() joins the party by calling it too.

It's the programming equivalent of that childhood game where your older sibling grabs your hand and makes you slap your own face while asking "why are you hitting yourself?" Except in this case, the function is both the bully and the victim. Infinite recursion without a base case - because who needs stack memory anyway?
