gollark: The bot is dead.

gollark: Also worse health conditions because no medicine.

gollark: No convenient transport, no automation, basically zero economy, no modern computers and networking, manual labour all day because no automation...

gollark: Oh [REDACTED], that would be HORRIBLE.

gollark: Without the global supply chains we have I would lack nice things like computers or possibly orange juice.
