Cast

gollark: I disagree. The only valid temperature unit is electronvolts.
gollark: It's logically impossible for me to not have a phone, so I would simply retrieve my spare phone.
gollark: Imagine orienting objects.
gollark: You can't talk to anyone who's died to tyrannical dictators. Technically.
