🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: ansi_clear_screen() sends the ansi code that moves the cursor to the top left of the screen, and then it sends the ansi code that clears the screen — specifically from wherever the cursor is sitting, all the way to the end. 🧹✨

so like, cursor goes home first, then everything from there onward gets wiped. iconic behaviour honestly. main character energy. 👑
