gollark: One experimental thing involved running lasers through Draconic Evolution portals, but it did not work right.
gollark: Fortunately, I've had plans ready for crocodile removal since 19██.
gollark: Hmm. I may have to remove crocodiles. Just in general.
gollark: Crocodiles? Oh no. Is this some exotic attack the planning neural networks didn't consider?
