This code is what happens when someone discovers nested ternary operators and thinks they've unlocked godmode. The developer is trying to add the correct suffix to a date (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) with a chain of ternaries that would make even Satan say "that's a bit excessive." The best part? It completely ignores 4-20, 24-30, and anything else ending with those numbers. Enjoy debugging this masterpiece when it breaks on the 4th of literally any month! Future maintainers will be adding this developer to their prayer lists tonight.

Ah, the classic integer overflow but for... other measurements! The terminal shows someone entering "7" inches, but somehow the calculation throws a DickLengthError claiming it "cannot be negative." Either the algorithm subtracted from the wrong base value, or someone's been exaggerating by about 2³² units. The exit code -69420 is just the chef's kiss of juvenile programmer humor—combining the infamous "69" with "420" and making it negative for extra absurdity. This is basically what happens when you let engineers build dating apps.

This multi-panel SpongeBob meme is a chaotic tour through programming's most cursed features and debates! First panel: Python's elif keyword getting absolutely roasted. It's literally just "else if" with two characters saved, yet Python devs will defend it with religious fervor. Second panel: SpongeBob defining truth as a random coin flip ( #define true (rand() % 2) ) - the kind of chaotic evil code that would make senior engineers wake up screaming. The functional programming panel with that monads explanation is pure chef's kiss. Nobody understands monads, but everyone pretends to. Then we've got the horrors of datetime libraries (universally painful), JavaScript's cursed array comparison ( array[i] == i[array] evaluating to true because JS type coercion is from the ninth circle of hell), and finally JS itself being the punchline. It's basically "Things That Make Developers Question Their Career Choices: The Meme".
