mdelay(ms:long)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what this function does is it inserts a multi-millisecond busy-delay right into a probe handler. like, it just sits there and waits for the amount of milliseconds you told it, in the most unhinged "i'm not sleeping, i'm spinning" way possible. 🌀

⚠️ bestie. listen. it requires guru mode. fr fr. no guru mode, no delay. 🙈
