And so that's what I call a snack, a single idea in your words cited. And so for me, a snack also can turn into a tweet or a quick little post on LinkedIn where here's an idea I want to share and here's the source of where I got that idea. For me, a bite is a construct of cogent snacks, right? Cogent ideas that come together that will have multiple, multiple references or citations to them. And so in other words, a snack could be zero to 150 200 words. A bite is somewhere between 200 600 to 1000 words. An entree is about 1000 to 2500 words. It's an article. It's something more meaty. It's consisting of multiple bites and multiple snacks organized together. And then a dessert is the whole schmorgasporic, you know, it's the, you know, or in actually a dessert could be something really sweet and really juicy that you really dig into. And that if I were to add a new one would be the buffet and the buffet is where you get to pick through it all and make it all work. But for me, what's important to think about is it's not, it's more of a flow than it is any discrete moment because a snacks become bites, bites become meals, meals become, you know, desserts.
