gollark: Wrong.
gollark: Did you know? There have been many incidents in the past where improper apiary safety protocols have lead to unbounded tetrational apiogenesis, also referred to as a VK-class "universal apiary" scenario. Often, the fallout from this needs to be cleaned up by moving all sentient entities into identical simulated universes, save for the incident occurring. This is known as "retroactive continuity", and modern apiaries' safety systems provide this functionality automatically.
gollark: I am not in any way a pizza, related to pizza, or advertising pizzas. I have had no commercial or personal relations with pizza companies, and do not, in fact, regularly eat pizza. I am not engaged in any form of pizza advertising, subliminal or otherwise. Any claims to the contrary will be considered wrong and bad, and should not be promulgated.
gollark: Wow, the sheer activity.
gollark: ↓ you
