I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be "consensual non-consent", which is a role play of sexual assault.
Wait so not command and conquer?
The safe word is "Tiberium."
Well, usually all parties taking party in a Command and Conquer match have consented to do so but what happens then usually involves quite a bit of non-consent.

It's not necessarily role play of assault, though it can be that. It can also mean that blanket consent has been given ahead of time, and so the subject is unaware of what may happen to them or when, and by the nature of it can't give specific consent for any particular action. It can have to do with pushing/exploring boundaries, a power dynamic kink, or just enjoying the element of surprise, among others.
If you're doing it right, consent can be withdrawn at any time via a pre-established non-verbal signal and/or safeword, and any bondage equipment will have safety releases.
e: In case it's unclear, I just mean that the definition is more broad than that. I don't think there's anything wrong with role-playing assault.
Good info. Thank you.
So, essentially command and conquer

~~Computer Numerical Control~~ Consensual Non-Consent
Ironically a few years back I was starting a project at work and was told one of the machines was a "miyano" I didn't know what that was so I googled it... Entire first page of images was anime.
Turns out it was a 12 axis lathe...

Anyone asking me for CNC, will be pleasantly surprised when a truck arrives with an 5-axis Fanuc.
You just have a spare $100,000 laying around?
If you weren't eating so many goddamn avocado toasts, you would, too.

Ooo boy, she's about to learn about g-code!
We don't talk to police, we don't make a peace bond.
We don't trust in the judicial system, we shoot guns.
We rely on the streets though we do battle in the hood.
I was born in the G Code, embedded in my blood.

I had to come to the comments to find out what she meant. CNC fabrication was the only thing I could think of.

I literally do not understand the meme. Is the first meaning of CNC something sexual?
Could be worse.
"Babe, I wanna try CBT."
"Sorry, hon; we can't afford insurance."

The comments prove this is the most relatable meme of all time
Joke's on you, I don't know either (any) meaning of this abbrevation!
CNC = consensual non-consent, basically roleplaying being forced into sex.
The other CNC is a machine for creating physical stuff using computer. Like a laser cutter or a 3D printer. No idea what the actual meaning of the abbreviation is.

I'm a woman and That's what i thiught too. Is there a sexual conotation to cnc? Maybe that's why my sex life is shit
No. It's shit because you don't have enough CNC hardware to attract a lover.
Makes sense. I bought a fucking 3d printer instead of investing on a cnc. I'm dumb

Why is it ALWAYS CNC?
It's like the DNS of sexual fantasies for women.
Because total submission is hot.
Because being wanted so much that somebody is willing to throw away their common ethical code is hot.
Because rough sex is hot.
Because doing these things in a safe space with somebody you actually fully trust is really hot.
