gollark: It's a diode thingy, but if you thingy it backward, it gets thingied at a thingy voltage.
gollark: It's basically like a monoid.
gollark: The GTech™ cuboid is capable of simulating the diode several orders of magnitude faster than "physical reality" can.
gollark: Fine, we'll ship you a physics simulator octahedron™ preloaded with that.
