gollark: - that would either involve erasing i.e. killing all extant humans, or overwriting/meddling with their minds and bodies (so basically the same thing) - obviously problematic- anthropomorphic animals probably wouldn't work very well either, inasmuch as most animals are quadrupeds and we're bipeds, along with probably a ton of other things- Marxism bad
gollark: no.
gollark: I do not. That would be terrible for many reasons.
gollark: Really okay animation?
