Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.
When two tiny particles are linked, they stay linked. Even if you put one in your pocket and fly the other to Mars, poking one still tells you about the other. They aren't really two separate things anymore — they're one thing in two places.
How it works
Three clicks. No config.
Install
Add Bonkd to Chrome. The capybara lives in your toolbar.

It actually works
93% accurate
Across 276 paragraphs from 7 real-world sites — Wikipedia, news, academic abstracts, opinion essays — Bonkd preserves named entities, numbers, and structure 93% of the time at every reading level. The remaining ~7% usually just lands at a slightly wrong length, not factually off.
Not perfect. Pretty solid for a capybara with a stick.
