C-plus-plus Memes

Oh honey, "rarely" is doing some HEAVY lifting here. Someone clearly hasn't opened a legacy C++ codebase where macros breed like rabbits in the preprocessor wilderness. You know what's rare? Finding a C++ project that doesn't have at least seventeen #define statements doing absolutely cursed things to your code before the compiler even sees it. "Rarely" my entire stack trace—those bad boys are EVERYWHERE, turning innocent code into a debugging nightmare faster than you can say "undefined behavior." But sure, let's pretend they're some endangered species when they're actually the cockroaches of the C++ ecosystem: impossible to kill and thriving in the darkest corners of your codebase.

Ah yes, the classic C++ pickup line. Someone posts "starts with a C and ladies love it" expecting spicy answers, and the reply is just... C++. Because nothing says romance like manual memory management and segmentation faults. The joke works on multiple levels: it's deliberately anti-climactic (you expect something suggestive, you get a programming language), and it's also hilariously delusional because let's be real—nobody loves C++. We tolerate it. We respect it. We fear its pointer arithmetic. But love? That's Stockholm syndrome talking.
