Calculator With Fifty Cases

A screenshot shows an absurd Python calculator that handles arithmetic by writing a separate if statement for each possible input, with only a few cases visible at the top and a long jump to cases near 50 × 38–50. The joke is that the program is comically overengineered instead of using normal arithmetic, matching the caption’s comparison to generics in Go as something ugly but impressive in scale.
