Etymology
The specific name is based on the type locality.
gollark: This is a possible possibility, yes.
gollark: which could possibly be cool.
gollark: In my `writing_ideas` notes which will probably never be written I have> The world is a simulation, and a very buggy one. You can phase through walls if you walk through them at just the right angle wearing certain colors of T-shirt. Why is the clothing tear resistance code tied into collision detection? Why does it care about color? Nobody knows; it's filled with bizarre legacy code. Occasionally someone finds a really exploitable issue, runs off to certain regions of the world to “test things”, and disappears. Perhaps they manage to escape into reality somehow. Perhaps they're somehow “hired” by the admins to patch further issues. Perhaps they're just deleted to preserve stability.
gollark: (*Ra*, *Off to be the Wizard*, *Wizard's Bane*, and I can't remember any more right now)
gollark: It just needs to be sufficiently unfathomable and complex that most people won't do it.
