Hot Take:

Who knew the Python snake could be so deceptive? In the digital Garden of Eden, some apples come with worms. Enter the typosquatted 'crytic-compilers,' a wolf in sheep's coding, ready to steal your digital fruits with a simple mistype. It's like a spelling bee where the price for a wrong letter is your passwords, cookies, and crypto snacks. Remember folks, double-check your spelling or pay the (mal)price!

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
