You can't compile C to java bytecode, they are fundamentally incompatible. But you can compile C to wasm, which is what you want for a good universal bytecode. Java is shit.
- Compile jvm into wasm

May I introduce you to https://github.com/davidar/lljvm
The C to JVM bytecode compilation provided by LLJVM involves several steps
Have you seen what it outputs? The same way we can compile C to brainfuck, it doesn't mean it's good or is useful.
- "compiling C to java bytecode isn't possible"
- *link to project that does exactly that*
- "it's not good or useful"
- *WASM exists*
- "that's useful"
... OK

I can't quite understand what is your point? Are you arguing that both JVM and WASM are bad? With this I agree, they both have terrible performance and in an ideal world we wouldn't use any of them.
Are you arguing that JVM bytecode is better than WASM? That's objectively not true. One example is a function pointer in C. To compile it to JVM bytecode you would need to convert it to the virtual call using some very roundabout way. But in WASM you have native support for function pointers, which gives much better flexibility when compiling other languages.
There is no point. It's a stupid meme, not to be taken seriously in a "programmerhumor" community. It's about as serious as demanding the Biden be the arbiter of good and bad programming languages, or saying JS should be used to punish convicts.
Look at the other people saying stuff like "JAVA: Just Another Virtual Assembler" or something. They aren't taking it seriously.
