[it's so hard to be from a futuristic society when everyone around you is ancient]
so here's the deal the thing you're using to post to the network? that's basically a computer you feed it input, like your voice (or pressing the keys on the keypad like i'm doing), and it coughs up output like a post on the network or replies to that post
it probably seems like magic to you, right? you press buttons and stuff happens? well. idk it might actually be magic in this case, who knows with the natha but point is it usually isn't at least in my world, where magic wasn't a thing usually, what makes the device do things when you press buttons is software programs they're like the equivalent of a recipe to make food, cause it tells the device what to do when you push a button those instructions that make up a program are called coding, or code and the people who write the instructions are jokingly called code monkeys sometimes don't ask why, idek
but fine, i'll hold off until the boring part is over are we at least gonna play drinking games or something at the end? seems like kinda a waste of gathering us all together if we just do serious shit the whole time
