Did chatgpt get this right? I'm not sure I believe it.
Sure! Here's a translation of that 1950s lingo to modern English: "Pipe that beef trust, slick" = "Pay attention to that business situation, buddy!" In context, "pipe" could mean "listen" or "pay attention," "beef trust" refers to the business or situation (possibly a reference to the meatpacking industry or a specific business issue), and "slick" is a term of endearment or a way to address someone in a friendly but confident manner.Why would you want to make us scroll horizontally to read that?
Just use a quote

Oh I use jerboa on android and I dont have that issue. I like how code blocks look, but I'll use quotes in the future lol
Oh, that surprises me. Can you send a screenshot? Code blocks are supposed to wrap because you don't want code to look weird And indentations and white space are sometimes important.
I will admit that on mobile it doesn't make too much sense because screens are so narrow.
I use Thunder, by the way.
Weird hey? I'm still experimenting with all the Lemmy apps; I'll give Thunder a shot today!
Thunder is great. I feel like I tried them all, and it has the best mix of customization and solid features.
Surely beef trust in this context is how muscled the guy is, right?
The only thing I question is the definition for “pipe”. I’ve never heard it used to mean listen/pay attention. I’ve heard “peep” used in the manner, as in, “Peep that”. Just because I’ve never heard it doesn’t mean anything though. The rest is correct though.
I have only heard it used in ‘pipe down’, meaning to be quite.
...and me thinking pipe meant condom
