They kind of glossed over the real value, which is using it as a template to automate a step at a time:

"Each step of the procedure is now encapsulated in a function, which makes it possible to replace the text in any given step with code that performs the action automatically."

It breaks the work down into more manageable tasks. I probably wouldn't give it to users until it was done, but putting placeholder functions is a common strategy.

It's probably to allow for added complexity as they expand on each task. Makes it simpler to import elsewhere too.

I've been giving this way too much thought 😆

I think it would come down to if the fold in the wrapper was facing up or down. If the tire had tread, I don't think it would matter, but if the slit were facing down, I think the wax paper would keep it from sticking. Unless the pressure squeezed the butter out, in which case I think you'd end up with most of the button on the tire and the wrapper on the ground.

Techno, dubstep, various game OST's, some metal, orchestral, and various pop songs my partner turned me on to. Quite a few touhou remixes too.

Next question. If your tire was bald, would it stick to the ground or the tire?

I'm quite new here (hello everyone!), but I think banning twitter links is in line with the community's principles, and it shows a level of solidarity with other communities and instances doing the same.

On a more practical note, I feel like there is a good chance if this movement becomes widespread enough, it will get some news coverage, which could increase awareness and help bring like minded individuals (and trolls probably, but I suspect that's nothing new) to the instance.

This seems like a largely symbolic gesture though, so I don't have an issue with screenshots.
