gollark: Well, lunar railgun impacts have been shown to be bad for your health.
gollark: The moon *could* be moved, but this would take some time and you could move out of the way.
gollark: Admittedly due to lunar positioning constraints, it may not actually be possible to target you right now. I haven't checked.

gollark: Ugh, I WILL deploy orbital bee lasers against you.
