This document is to explain how I wrote "Bo-omb's Big Day" using zero point five enter presses. But first, let me back up a bit. Every time I think of nails being pounded into my hideous face, I get reminded that people don't understand what a half enter press is. Maybe what people need is an example. Consider my eight grade essay on snails. You have to press enter three times to get the three paragraphs necessary in Microsoft wards. But, we can do better. By holding the enter button while writing it, I

Now, I know some people are going to come in here and say that there's no such thing as half an enter press. Well, (((reviewers))), hear me out. For an enter press, there are actually three components. When enter is pressed, when the signal converts from a zero to a one, and when enter is released. As it turns out, there is a brief period after enter is pressed where the signal will be transitioning that can result in indeterminate behavior across the transistors. However, the keyboard manufacturers accounted for this by debouncing the signal, ensuring a smooth instantaneous transition. So this paragraph was pretty much a waste of time

Now let's talk about parallel universes. The C programming language converts floating point numbers to integers when doing basic math. So, by writing a function in excel that converts my average word count into an integer, I can create parallel versions of my story with different word counts. Then by navigating over to them with the mouse function,

I can do nothing useful

and that's how I wrote Bo-omb's Big Day using zero point five enter presses. Wow, I did not expect this to become ten thousand words long before commentating. I guess I really got carried away here
