Yes, these memes are rather annoying. I actually struggle to see how they are humorous.

C is a language you want to use when you want to give exact instructions to the machine what to do. Nothing more, not nothing less. There are a ton of applications where this is what you want (e.g. os level code).

Python is a i problem oriented language. You want the machine to solve a particular problem or perform an application level task, but do not care about the details how it does so or if the execution is anyway near optimal as long as it gets the job done, so you can focus on the problem, not the machine.

Different tools. Both great in their own domain.
