Code

Built by AI! (tbh I didn't even bother to check if the feet and meter formulas were correct lol)

def convert_lat_lon_into_cardinal_direction(lat, lon, wiki_page_lat, wiki_page_lon):
    if lat > wiki_page_lat:
        lat_direction = "north"
    elif lat < wiki_page_lat:
        lat_direction = "south"
    else:
        lat_direction = ""
        
    if lon > wiki_page_lon:
        lon_direction = "east"
    elif lon < wiki_page_lon:
        lon_direction = "west"
    else:
        lon_direction = ""

    feet = round(364000 * ((lat - wiki_page_lat)**2 + (lon - wiki_page_lon)**2)**0.5)
    meters = round(feet * 0.3048)
    
    return {
        "lat_direction": lat_direction,
        "lon_direction": lon_direction,
        "feet": feet,
        "meters": meters
    }

The struggle of naming a method that calls other methods. main? logic? process?

async def process(lat, lon):
    geo_loc = await geosearch(lat, lon)
    random_geo_loc = choose_random_geo_loc(geo_loc)
    title = random_geo_loc['title']
    summary = get_page_summary(title)

    cardinals = convert_lat_lon_into_cardinal_direction(lat, lon, random_geo_loc['lat'], random_geo_loc['lon'])
    return {
        "title": title,
        "summary": summary,
        "cardinals": cardinals,
        "geo_loc": random_geo_loc
    }

Roald Dahl’s poem “Television” says it all: “So please, oh please, we beg, we pray / go throw your TV set away / and in its place, you can install / a lovely bookshelf on the wall.” (View Highlight)

In 2015, archaeologists reported that they'd found 3,000-year-old honey while excavating tombs in Egypt, and it was perfectly edible.

Thoughts

"I can explain" then some external interruption is such a lazy plot device, it's like why do you need to prevent characters from learning information due to hand of god events, its so lame (from watching XO Kitty)
