Computer Programmer: Here, take a look at this Jimmy. Now I know these four pixels don’t really mean much to you right now, but using this function I’ve made I should be able to draw an image on the screen at a specific position relative to the top-left corner of the display. You see, I store the data of the image as a list of RGB values which have to be ordered in this very specific way to maximize storage space. It iterates over every 3 numbers in the data list to get each pixel’s rgb color channels, and uses the width and height of the image to figure out where to put it. This function will also accept hex and hsv formats, which are just different ways of writing colors, and is very cool but does take some advanced type checking in the background, so perhaps I’ll split these functions into separate 'loadHex' and 'loadHSV' functions so it doesn’t have to check each time, not sure, maybe I’ll make this a library...do you think i should use classes for this…OOP is really cool nowadays……….... hmm……….. but yeah, this is like, the most awesomest incredible thing because this makes it possible to upload custom images if I can figure out how to extract the rgb pixel data from a file……. this opens up a whole new world of possibilities for my oddly specific use case..that you don’t seem to quite understand or grasp?um, Jimmy………. are you even listening to me?

mashed potatoes (slang, political) — A self-inflicted humiliation, especially one involving Donald Trump, where he provokes or instigates a situation that backfires spectacularly, leaving him publicly embarrassed but unwilling to admit fault or laugh at himself. Originates from a childhood story in which Trump, after teasing his younger brother, had a bowl of mashed potatoes dumped on his head by his older brother, an incident that reportedly left a lasting mark on his pride.
When Trump stumbled and couldn’t correctly explain the Constitution during the interview, commentators called it pure mashed potatoes—a humiliation entirely of his own making.

The polar opposite of Mach Fuck, which is fast as fuck, Mach Potato is a speed that is slow as shit.
Pedal to the metal, balls to the wall, the T-28 Doom Turtle's coming at you at the speed of Mach Potato, maxing out at like 8 miles per hour.
