Disgusted by the 1m limit. How's a person supposed to burn money with baby bumpers like this?

🔥🔥🔥 HOLD ON A SECOND 🔥🔥🔥

You just asked to burn more than 1,000,000 tokens.

Friendly reminder: THIS REPO IS A JOKE. It is a satirical bash script that lights real money on fire to inflate vanity metrics. There is no business reason to run it. The README is sarcasm. The "enterprise version" is not real. Yes, burning lots of tokens might impress your manager, but I'm not enough of a nihilist to be the actual mechanism enabling that.

Refusing to proceed. Go touch grass. 🌱
