    Some time ago I had a fever dream confusing reality thing and when I woke up I had reason with myself that “no, I can’t run a program in my brain”. I couldn’t decide if it was a disappointment or a relief.

    Should’ve at least added some output to the loop, now the brain can just optimize and jump straight to the end.

      The actual joke is that they were trying to play dumb/fun nerd computer games. The cool fish basically just told them to count to 1000 instead

      for that little bit of program there x is set to 1 and x++ is just another way to say “add one to this number”. The loop runs until x is 1000 thus all the x values when they are “running” the program manually

    Couldve flipped the sign every operation to make it even longer, just make sure you’re not off by one or change it while x <= 1000
