Here's a Nickel, Kid

#if _FP_W_TYPE_SIZE < 32 #error "Here's a nickel kid. Go buy yourself a real computer." #endif

A programming preprocessor snippet throws an error at computers with a floating-point word size below 32 bits, sarcastically offering a nickel and telling the user to buy a real computer. The joke uses compiler code as an elitist reaction to underpowered hardware, making it suitable for mocking weak computers or excessive system requirements.
