This meme perfectly captures the existential crisis of C++ developers. The code creates a class called "StaticNotInventedYet" with a method that checks if "this" exists. When run with a null pointer (0x0), it somehow prints "static" instead of crashing spectacularly. But when compiled with a different flag (-O1 vs -O0), it prints "member" instead! The monkey's confused face is every programmer realizing that compiler optimizations are basically black magic and C++ just does whatever it wants. When undefined behavior meets compiler optimizations, even the language itself doesn't know what's real anymore.
