Etymology
The species name refers to the distribution.[2]
gollark: I don't think supercapacitors go that high really.
gollark: You'd need to toast slow enough for the heat to disperse a bit.
gollark: Well, I think at some point you might end up just ablating the surface and not toasting the rest properly.
gollark: Yes, the toaster contains one ultra-fast toasting charge and once that's used up it's burned out.
gollark: Did their toaster go on sale yet?
