A computer program is like a lot of weird words and mainly assorted brackets and parentheses which tell a computer to put ones over here and zeros over there and vice versa, but computers contain almost uncountable numbers of ones and zeros, so the brackets and weird words make assumptions about groups of them so humans that understand how this stuff works and also the computer itself can do things with them without having to think about the fact that it's all just turning on these specific trillion transistors but not these other trillions of transistors, in a very specific order, trillions of times a second.

A man sometimes has a desire to understand how things work. But the man may not have the technical or other background to really understand how they work. However, for some reason, maybe it's genetics or maybe some sexual selection thing, having intelligence or wisdom, or having the appearance of having intelligence or wisdom, is seen to the man as a desirable trait. As a result of this, a man often feels the compelled to explain how things work to other people, so that he appears smart and wise. Also, because of gender bias, societal makeup, and probably a whole host of other reasons, women are often assumed by men to not have this specific, technical, or esoteric knowledge. After all, it was only through the reading and remembering of several Wikipedia entries that the man came to this knowledge in the first place. So when the man attempts to explain how something which he had a passing enough interest to learn some facts about works, particularly to a woman, it is called "mansplaining".

Plant cells have special structures that are some kind of quantum engine that, when struck by a photon, are able to break the carbon off of carbon dioxide and combine it with water to make more plant cells. But it needs other elements like phosphorus and stuff to facilitate the reaction, which is why they also need soil or fertilizer. They just expel the oxygen left over from the carbon dioxide, which is helpful if you're an animal instead of a plant.
