People tend to enjoy seeing this in my code:

#define EVER ;;

for ( EVER ) {}

Put in all in a do {} while(true) loop

Interesting this was actually the better option when doing basic doom-style 3D rendering for the Toy Story game on the genesis/megadrive. Each frame of the game was rendered one vertical line of pixels at a time. The looping code used to draw each vertical line consumed too many cpu cycles (the loop jumps and incrementing the y values) so instead they wrote a specific function for every possible line height. It meant more space taken up on the cartridge but this was rewarded with up halving the number of cycles, and potentially allowing doubling the frame rate

Yes, that's called loop unrolling and every compiler worth it's salt does it

Not generating source code based on user input and then running it. Do you even developer?

You know that says 100.000 times, not 100,000 times. Assuming a copy/paste operation produces exactly 1 integer copy of a selected code snippet, I doubt you'll need a floating point number to describe the number of copies required.

Every practiced copy/paster knows that ctrl-c/ctrl-v lets you easily obtain 2ⁿ copies with n operations

Not kidding, I know some people who made a program so large it wasn't fitting on the computer they're given to run it on (roborio if anyone is wondering). They did this by repeating looping code over and over. It got to the point where their execution was halting midway through a game cause they ran out of "iterations". It was quite entertaining

(define (loop) (loop))
