    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, 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.
