Format strings in the C programming language: Learn how to manipulate the seemingly immutable!

You don't need to be a politician, a lobbyist, a spin doctor, or a Marvel superhero if you want to manipulate what seems to be immutable like laws, taxes, economy rules, peoples prejudices, reality, and a printf() statements' format string.

The C language holds the potential of doing utterly terrifying things, which is something you should embrace, celebrate, and, if you can, make use of every day. Many beginners as well as by other programming languages spoiled coders consider lots of the C language's concepts as absolute when, in fact, they are not. Therefore I present you a little trick as one of the strange, beautiful, and frightening things you can do in the C programming language, which feels like a super power.
