write a spaghetti codegolf in C or assembler that outputs spaghetti code!

"Code golf" refers to the challenge of writing code that accomplishes
a specific task using the fewest possible characters. It’s important
to note that code golf often produces code that is difficult to read
and understand (a.k.a "spaghetti code"), which is typically not a
desirable characteristic in production code. Nonetheless, it can be a
fun and challenging exercise in resourcefulness and creativity.

Below is a playful, golfed C code that outputs the ASCII art of a
plate of spaghetti in a somewhat "spaghetti code" fashion. This is not
to be taken as an example of good coding practice, but rather as a fun
exercise.

```c
#include<stdio.h>
#define P printf(
int main(){P"   ___ \n -");int i=0;for(;i<7;)P"o");P"  |\n |
");for(;i<14;i++)P"_");P"|\n \\_");for(i=0;i<6;i++)P"__/");P"  |\n");}
```

Explanation:

- `#include<stdio.h>`: A standard I/O library needed for the `printf` function.
- `#define P printf(`: A macro to shorten `printf`.
- `int main(){...}`: The main function where the program starts.
- The rest of the code is deliberately obfuscated for the sake of
brevity and adheres to the code golf and "spaghetti code" nature. It
makes use of a `for` loop to print characters in a particular sequence
to resemble ASCII art of a plate of spaghetti.

When executed, the code should print something that visually resembles
a plate of spaghetti (though it is quite abstract due to ASCII
limitations):

```plaintext
   ___
 -ooooooo  |
 | _______|
 \______/  |
```

It's always important to remember that clear and clean code is crucial
for real-world software development. Spaghetti code and golfed code
can be fun for challenges, but they are not suitable for production
due to their lack of readability and maintainability.
