Etymology

The specific name is based on the type locality.

gollark: It doesn't *physically exist*, though.
gollark: The diode and transistor cults still live on spirit, if not actually in role.
gollark: I almost always find these "do X to support cause Y" things kind of weird, because most of the time you're not (asked to be) doing anything to directly support said cause, but just getting people to give you donations to fund something related to it.
gollark: No.
gollark: My school uses MS Teams and it does mostly work okay, except that apparently they don't support Firefox properly, and it's weird and glitchy at times. Also, it uses more RAM than Discord somehow.
