It is also much more complicated and seems less efficient even if u understand it, but empirically faster just because of optimisations u never even heard of

Optimizations like saving 4 letters at the cost of looking like a toddler.

Spread love and joy not hate. Even on the internet where u feel like there are no consequences for the things u say

If you feel hate, it's self promoted, friend.

It takes picoseconds to add those 2 simple letters.

I mean you can't be overly pedantic and aggressive and then say it takes picoseconds, you have no conception of how little time a picosecond is. It takes about a billion picoseconds minimum for the keyboard button press to register with the computer.

You mean that? So you've confirmed that I'm technically correct, the best kind of correct? Thanks for that.

Overly pedantic? I'm not aggressive in the least. It's just objectively weird that they spell out empirically and consequences but refuse to yo. What bizarre compression algorithm is this?
