rustc hates him! Sidestep borrow checking with this weird trick.

Note: This "may" cause undefined behavior. But it's fine, there's no unsafe in sight.

fn main() {
    let boom = fake_static::make_static(&vec![0; 1<<20]);
    println!("{:?}", boom);
}

Please don't use this in production. Or anywhere, for that matter. The only purpose of this piece of shit is to bring attention to the relevant issue, which hasn't seen any attention for over a year: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25860
