This is the feature that separates ShortMan from every other dictionary:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ NORMAL MODE: │
│ │
│ NPC — Someone who seems to lack original thought │
│ or just follows a scripted path through life. │
│ │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ BRAINROT MODE: │
│ │
│ THIS PERSON HAS NO INTERNAL MONOLOGUE. Just vibes on │
│ autopilot. Wake up. Go to Starbucks. Say "I literally │
│ can't even". Sleep. Repeat. Their dialogue tree has 4 │
│ options and they've exhausted all of them. │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
