“How do computers work? KIS”
“Explain this recipe, KIS.”
Origin:

Why use it?
Encourages short, simple answers.

ChatGPT says:
Why KIS is different — and better in some ways:
TL;DR usually follows a long explanation; KIS can guide the response before it happens.
ELI5 asks for clarity but assumes a lack of knowledge; KIS just asks for simplicity—without assuming anything about the asker.
KIS is gentle, universal, and proactive. You’re asking for clarity and brevity without being blunt or ironic.

Get the Kiingmug. A Japanese fighter used in World War Two. There were four major production variants. These are:
Ki-45 Kai-Ko (A): Initial escort fighter variant armed with 2x 12.7mm Ho-103 Machine Guns and 1x 20mm Ho-3 cannon.
Ki-45 Kai-Otsu (B): Kai-Kos fitted with a Type 94 37mm cannon instead of the Ho-3.
Ki-45 Kai-Hei (C): Anti-Shipping type armed with 1x Ho-3 and 1x 37mm Ho-201 cannons.
Ki-45 Kai-Tei (D): Night Fighter armed with 1x Ho-201 in nose as well as 2x 20mm Ho-5 cannons in a Schräge Musik mounting behind the pilot’s seat.
Used from 1942 until the war’s end, these aircraft proved somewhat successful, with over 1600 aircraft built. This makes the most produced Japanese twin-engined fighter of the war.
