Plot

After being "created" by a dog, Doggy Poo meets various living and inanimate things. No one wants to be his friend, and Doggy Poo becomes sad because he believes he is worthless and has no purpose. Eventually, a plant grows out of the ground and tells Doggy Poo that she needs him so she can grow into a flower. Doggy Poo discovers his life purpose and he becomes absorbed by the flower. After being absorbed by the flower, Doggy Poo lives "a happy life".

gollark: Without those I think you get really bad speeds if you have multiple things trying to transmit and receive simultaneously.

gollark: Since unlike with wired networks, it has a fairly small "bus" which all devices ever have to use.

gollark: I think WiFi now has a bunch of AP-side coordination mechanisms for higher throughput, which might be hard to decentralize.

gollark: Oh, wait, there is another issue, actually.

gollark: We have experimental self-organizing mesh networks already, and modern networking hardware is fairly powerful and cheap. Although I don't know how good the mesh stuff is at dealing with really fast re-peering, which is necessary in practice.
