Double Shot Liquor and Guns Drive Thru

01 | int stop; 02 | … 03 | stop = 1; // Says other threads to stop. 04 | … 05 | // Other threads: 06 | while (!stop) { 07 | … 08 | } DOUBLE SHOT LIQUOR & GUNS DRIVE THRU What could possibly go wrong?

A programming joke shows one thread setting a stop flag and telling other threads to stop, while the other threads continue running in a loop. This is paired with a blurry sign advertising a drive-thru for liquor and guns, making the situation comically dangerous and absurd. It is used as a reaction to reckless decisions, obvious safety failures, or situations that are guaranteed to go wrong.
