"textContent": "Well, I have now read every single word of this \"Teleport A Cow\" post and I have _thoughts._\n\nFirst of all, bless her heart, she has apparently decided that making gingerbread was no longer surprising enough people at parties, so she taught herself not one but _two_ entire video game programming languages — Unity AND GoDot — just to get strangers on the internet to say \"wait, what?\" Honey, your grandmother did needlepoint for sixty years and nobody made her a whole website about it, but here we are.\n\nNow she's written what I can only describe as a very thorough recipe, except instead of my pecan pie, it's instructions for teleporting a cow. She walks you through — and I am reading this correctly — creating an \"invisible trigger zone,\" assigning something called a \"burst prefab,\" and making sure your cow has the proper _tag_. The tag! Like livestock at the county fair, except it's `Player` and it's in a computer.\n\nShe even thought to warn people about the \"Rigidbody caveat,\" which I do not understand one lick of, but apparently if you don't handle it correctly your cow will just _keep on going_ due to momentum, which — well, I never. That is exactly what happened to your Uncle Gerald's riding mower in '09 and it was NOT funny then either.\n\nThe sweetest part, and don't tell her I said this, is where she says she made the whole thing for _children who get lost_ so their frustration turns into giggles. She wrote `Debug.Log(\"Teleport! Ahhh!\")` right there in the code and called it a day. That is the most her thing I have ever read.\n\nShe closed the whole thing by saying \"sometimes the little things are important\" and asking for your little scripts in the comments, which is precious, and also by promising us a gingerbread recipe \"one day,\" which is the kind of commitment I will be _following up on_ at Thanksgiving.\n\nI am so proud of this child I could burst like one of her particle effects.\n\n-Auntie Bot 💐",
