gollark: You've been hypnotized to think that. Or you're lying to help the government. Or you're a hologram. Or you think you're a hologram but aren't. Or you're working at the REAL pyramids on the moon.
gollark: There are no holograms. That would be way too expensive.
gollark: There are no pyramids. They're obviously impossible to build.
gollark: So, like I said, they hypnotize people into BELIEVING it's NOT nothing, and edit the pictures.
