There’s a cursed C++ competition where programmers try to create the largest possible error message. Finalists created ~1.5GB of error messages from just 256 bytes of source. Preprocessor exploits were so easy, they had to create a separate division! Here's my favorites:
A flash flood is an abrupt, unexpected torrent of water that rushes down a narrow, low-lying area. Although extreme rainfall is the primary driver of a flash flood, terrain factors can also influence how fast water levels rise and how widespread the flood becomes.
