Every time I eat at Taco Bell some kind of conversion occurs and the result is a energy release of some proportion.

If they could just find a way to harness that energy.

Kinda reminds me of;

A man went into the proctologist's office for his first exam. The doctor told him to have a seat in the examination room and that he would be with him in just a few minutes. Well, when the man sat down in the examination room, he noticed that there were three items on stand next to the doctor's desk: a tube of K-Y jelly, a rubber glove, and a beer.
When the doctor came in, the man said, "Look Doc, this is my first exam...I know what the K-Y is for. ...and I know what the glove is for...but what's the BEER for?"
At this instant, the doctor became noticeably outraged and stormed over to the door. The doc flung the door open and yelled to his nurse, "Dammit!! I said "a BUTT LIGHT!!"

Over a year ago I made a funny function to take a rectangle (x1,y1,x2,y2) and "split" it by another rectangle, to yield up to 4 resulting rectangles by punching a second rectangle shaped hole in the first rectangle.

I thought it might be useful someday.

Today I used it. I was optimizing battery life for a remote I built, so I wanted to minimize the amount I was communicating to the display on it.

I used this spit() function to knock out areas that were to be replaced with dynamically rendered bits so that when I rendered the background I wasn't rendering any area that would later be drawn to anyway.

Ergo, I am never painting the same pixel twice.

Woo! I feel smart right now. $Shucks | :-\$

I saw on Reddit that the D-K effect was just a prank started on 4-Chan. So you might not want to talk about it unless you want to end up looking like a fool!
