Christmas fruit punch is an infusion that is consumed in Mexico, traditionally in December during the posadas and on Christmas Eve, although there are also people who start consuming it from September for the national holidays and from November during the eve of the day of the dead (mainly in Mexico City and its metropolitan area).

It is prepared by boiling the ingredients in large quantities to be served during typical Christmas and winter gatherings. Traditionally, it is served very hot in individual clay pots with portions of fruit, and may or may not contain a spirit (often rum), which is added after boiling to prevent evaporation. One of the main ingredients, which gives it its blood-red color, is hibiscus water (made by boiling hibiscus flowers in water to release their red coloring). The basic fruits are apple, guava, and tejocote (Mexican hawthorn).

Mexican ponche may or may not contain alcohol and is served hot. The version with alcohol is called "ponche con piquete" (spiked ponche) because it has a "piquete" (spike) of tequila, rum, whiskey, red wine, or champagne, presented as a traditional hot infusion or as a cocktail.

This drink is commonly found at street fairs set up outside churches, where it can be enjoyed with buñuelos (fritters) or tamales. It is also sold at Christmas markets in Mexico during the famous Guadalupe-Reyes Marathon.

It is also traditionally consumed in Guatemala, even before the holidays. Fruits such as papaya, melon, and apple are used, along with sweeteners like sugar, honey, and/or cinnamon.}

Sick and tired of being """"pythonic"""". I'm going to make all of my variables random 4 letter combinations (without checking for collisions) and there's NOTHING you can do to stop me!

telling github copilot to migrate all of my projects to brainfuck

On the topic of github copilot I looked at the commit history of a Bash plugin and it was all copilot-swe-agent[bot] after you scroll a bit.

Bash is its own brainfuck and I've found that LLMs just drop off after the first bash script output that they plagarized from the dataset because the scripting language makes the least semantic sense.
