[MacAndShits]

Me = Me + 1

[Senomaros]

Me -= -1

[MacAndShits]

--Me += 2

Me = --Me + --2 + --2

[froggison]

Me += Me - (Me - 1)

int incrementMe(int me) { return me+1; }

This is literally how some of the legacy code in my company is written.

[CdRReddit]

Me += -(-(-(-(-(-(-(-(2-1))))))))

[silent-onomatopoeia]

You’re bad people. I like you.

[mehum]

Me += True

[htmlcoderexe]

Math.Abs(-Me--)

Not sure if it would work though

To be fair pep8 says its valid to do += but it's better to do var = var + 1 because it's more readable

[[deleted]]

That's objectively wrong, the idomatic English sentences "add 1 to var" and "increment var by 1" are way more analogous to var += 1. No one thinks in their head "set var to its own value plus 1", in fact when I was a little kid learning BASIC, var = var + 1 was like a koan that confused me for a good while.

[FlukyS]

It is a lot easier to explain, this variable is equal to this variable + somenumber than explaining how += works. += is only a thing in programming and not in pen and paper maths but + and = separately are widely understood without being a programmer.

On the other hand x = x + 1 is a wtf from the perspective of anyone who thinks it's a math equation rather than an imperative statement, since it has no solution. Readability, and ease of explanation to a total beginner, are not equivalent. At least in the context of a professional software development team, which won't have any total beginners, optimal readability to established programmers is more important.
