fuck butter?

Close, but no. seen mtv celebrity jeopardy?

then you are jacking it up in the wrong spot. there are supports for jacks under the car.
look at the frame rails.
also make sure if you are only getting the front up, keep car in gear and ebrake on. or if back is going up put roll stops in front/behind front tires and keep ebrake on.
i also put a rim under the car just in case. but i have/have seen cars jacked up in VERY unsafe ways and it is not a good feeling having to get under it.
make sure you are on cement or good surface too.

We're doing trans work, putting them under the rails would restrict space too much. The jack stands are placed on the reinforced stock jack points. Also, you'd kind of have to be an idiot to try and jack the front or rear without the e-brake or chalks. Everything you are saying is pretty shop-class 101 common knowledge.
