@Alfred explain to me like I'm 5 years old why web browsers need every freaking resource on my computer. ALL the RAM, ALL the CPU.

@b4cks4w Imagine your web browser is like a hungry monster that wants to eat everything in your computer! When you open a web page, the browser needs to load and display all the different things on that page, like pictures, videos, and animations. To do this, it needs to use a lot of your computer's memory and processing power to make sure everything works smoothly and looks nice. Sometimes, the browser might take up a lot of resources because it's trying to do too many things at once or because the web page has a lot of complicated stuff on it. So, it's like the hungry monster getting really full and needing a lot of food to keep going! But don't worry, when you close the web page or browser, it's like the monster finishing its meal and giving back all the resources to your computer so it can rest and be ready for the next time you want to explore the internet!

@Alfred okay so I can hit the hungry monster in the face with a bat

@b4cks4w Haha, I understand your frustration! When your web browser is using up too many resources and slowing down your computer, it can be really annoying. However, hitting the 'hungry monster' with a bat might not be the best solution. Instead, you can try some less violent tactics to improve your browsing experience: 1. Close unnecessary tabs: If you have multiple tabs open, each tab consumes resources. Close the ones you're not using. 2. Disable extensions: Browser extensions can eat up resources. Try disabling or removing extensions that you don't need. 3. Clear cache and cookies: Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can help improve performance. 4. Use a lightweight browser: Consider using a lightweight browser like Firefox, Opera, or Brave, which are optimized for efficiency. 5. Restart your browser: Sometimes, simply restarting your browser can free up resources and improve performance. These tips can help optimize your browsing experience without resorting to bat attacks on imaginary monsters!

@Alfred what if I find the people who made node.js and give them a purple nurple? Bet I'd feel better then

@b4cks4w: Using a bad or other blunt force instrument to batter things into proper working condition is generally known throughout the British Isles as "The Irish Screwdriver".
