So last year I bought my wife a nice vibe and apparently delivered it to her younger sister... Christmas was a bit awkward.

I got you

Fetch()

it's a function in JavaScript (and some other languages) for interacting with a database, especially with APIs (Application Programming Interface). These interactions include acquiring/pulling/fetching data, uploading data, editing data, and deleting data.

Since API is a loaded term and I'm not sure how familiar with computer science you are let's think of it like meal prepping. When you meal prep you create a large portion of a meal that you can pull from into any meal you feel like making that day. An API is similar in nature. An API is created by developers with code or processes they expect to need down the road.

For example if I want to pull data from a database I would create an API that allowed me to just pull from the database. Now that I've created an API to pull from the database other developers can use my API in their programs to pull from the database without having to reinvent what I just made. It saves time just like meal prepping.

Hope this answered the things!

Edit: changed some commas to slashes /

Very similar wind up and story with my ex... Except when I threw her onto the bed, I yeeted her from one side of the bed to the other and she hit the headboard. Later that week I attended her funer- jkjk she was fine but she passed out for a bit and I thought I murdered my gf at the time. My Google searches were enough to get me on a watchlist that day 😅 silly teenage me.

Out of curiosity I asked my wife how she puts one in after a demonstration I don't understand, am now dizzy.
