Should superpowers announce?

like, say I've invented a magic trick that I don't know how it's done. What is my moral obligation to report novel phenomena? If a divine singularity spontaneously opens up in my living room, or in my kidney, and somehow I harness it and taught myself to fly -- do I have to tell people, or do we think it would be too scary? It seems really obscene and disruptive to announce something so premise-shattering. Shouldn't I labor in secrecy? Do I have to expose my abilities to some sort of mandate before I can start?

How the heck do these work? I've cobbled together the script below for my bot (using Limnoria) to return the F1 standings in a line. Right now it returns the first value perfectly, but I can't figure out the loop to get the other drivers at all.
The script
import supybot.utils as utils from supybot.commands import * import supybot.plugins as plugins import supybot.ircutils as ircutils import supybot.callbacks as callbacks import supybot.ircmsgs as ircmsgs import requests import os import collections import json try: from supybot.i18n import PluginInternationalization _ = PluginInternationalization("F1") except ImportError: _ = lambda x: x class F1(callbacks.Plugin): """Uses API to retrieve information""" threaded = True def f1(self, irc, msg, args): """ F1 Standings """ channel = msg.args[0] data = requests.get("https://ergast.com/api/f1/2022/driverStandings.json") data = json.loads(data.content)["MRData"]["StandingsTable"]["StandingsLists"][0]["DriverStandings"][0] name = data["Driver"]["code"] position = data["positionText"].zfill(2) points = data["points"] output = ", ".join(['\x0306\x02' + name + '\x0303' + " [" + position + ", "+ points + "]"]) irc.reply(output) result = wrap(f1) Class = F1The output should be
VER [1, 125], LEC [2, 116], PER [3, 110], RUS [4, 84], SAI [5, 83], HAM [6, 50], NOR [7, 48], BOT [8, 40], OCO [9, 30], MAG [10, 15], RIC [11, 11], TSU [12, 11], ALO [13, 10], GAS [14, 6], VET [15, 5], ALB [16, 3], STR [17, 2], ZHO [18, 1], MSC [19, 0], HUL [20, 0], LAT [21, 0]...but it only returns
VER [1, 125]I'm in that state where I can read the stuff, but when I put it together, it doesn't always work.
