I don't understand why entire statements come after octothorpes. I get hashtagging stuff and how it might help with organization, but I don't understand why whole sentences.

I'm not trying to be pretentious or "dang young people," I just sincerely don't understand.

Other than that I enjoyed the post.

To be precise we take powdered star-core only from medium sized stars, dissolve it, and grow it into a mighty monocrystal of highest purity, and then slice it up into thin chips
