The Church Of Open Source
The Church of Open Source has quite the congregation. The prophet? Richard Stallman, with his flowing locks and GNU gospel. The Bible? The legendary K&R C Programming book that's baptized generations of developers. The altar? That standing desk where we've all sacrificed countless hours debugging. And the God? Tux the Linux penguin, obviously—the deity who never crashes (just occasionally requires a sacrifice of obscure terminal commands). I've been worshipping at this church for 20 years, and let me tell you, the prayers sound suspiciously like Stack Overflow questions. "Dear Tux, why the hell is my pointer arithmetic causing segfaults? I swear I'll never use global variables again if you just fix this build."

The Build Tool Hierarchy
The build tool hierarchy according to C++ developers! BSD Make gets a mild "meh" reaction. GNU Make earns a fancy tuxedo upgrade and approving smile. But NMAKE? That's Microsoft's Windows build tool that makes Pooh show his teeth in pure rage. It's the compiler equivalent of stepping on a LEGO while debugging a memory leak at 3AM. The perfect visual representation of why developers would rather rewrite their entire codebase than deal with Visual Studio's native build system.

The License Plate Is My Favorite
What happens when Richard Stallman designs transportation? You get this monstrosity - a vehicle so free it's practically anarchist. The license plate says it all: pure, unfiltered hatred for proprietary drivers. This is peak FOSS evangelism on wheels. The solar panels aren't just for energy - they're a political statement. And of course Windows are bloat - they probably add at least 2GB to the car's weight. The stuffed GNU mascot instead of a rearview mirror is just *chef's kiss* - safety regulations are just another form of proprietary control anyway.
