Rust Compiler Rejects Social Interaction

1 trait SocialInteraction { } 2 3 fn try_sex<T: SocialInteraction>(person: &mut T) { println!("good"); } 4 5 struct Me; 6 7 impl !SocialInteraction for Me {} 8 9 fn main() { 10 try_sex(&mut Me); 11 } error[E0277]: `Me` cannot have sex --> src/main.rs:12:13 5 | fn try_sex<T: SocialInteraction>(person: &mut T) { println!("good"); } | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ required by this bound in `try_sex` ... 12 | try_sex(&mut Me); | ^^^^^^^ `Me` cannot have sex | = help: the trait `SocialInteraction` is not implemented for `Me`

A Rust code snippet defines a person who does not implement the SocialInteraction trait, then tries to have sex with them. The compiler rejects it with the absurd error “Me cannot have sex,” joking about being too socially inept or unavailable for intimacy. It is used as a self-deprecating reaction to loneliness, awkwardness, or failed romantic interaction.
