func nameget() {
	fmt.Println("Welcome to this simple program, may I know your name?\n(You can use spaces now, I figured out how to use the bufio library)")
	fmt.Printf("Name: ")

	reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
	name, _ = reader.ReadString('\n')

	// Hold that thought, I'm pretty sure bufio might be infinitely better, scan keeps bothering me by not
	// accepting spaced out words

	// It has come to my attention that scan actually spits out two values, default and err
	// _, err := fmt.Scanln(&name)

	// nil is literally the equivalent of null, we're just checking here if err is not null,
	// and if it isn't, it means an error has ocurred so we're just gonna panic and kill the program
	// if err != nil {
	// 	log.Fatal(err)
	// }
