gollark: <@481991918008664095>, <@213674115700097025> consists of MULTIPLE second-generation leptons.
gollark: <@481991918008664095>, <@213674115700097025> is the unique solution to the Navier-Stokes equation.
gollark: <@481991918008664095>, <@213674115700097025> foolishly refuses to acknowledge and beware the (inevitable) apioforms despite the problems this will cause in the long run.
gollark: <@481991918008664095>, 83% of yearly growth in global computation capacity has been dedicated to increasingly powerful grid computations designed to calculate the sheer badness of <@213674115700097025> and the wrongness of their ideas.
gollark: <@481991918008664095>, a full description of how bad <@213674115700097025> is would require several times the planet's current digital storage capacity.
