gollark: The output of such a detector may look something like this.
gollark: Gay/EM effects are actually the operating principle behind "gaydar": gay field interactions with charged particles creates electromagnetic radiation of a fairly widely sweeping range of frequencies, depending on exact field strength; with tuning of the energies of the input particles, you can ensure that this is within the visible spectrum and so detectable on a camera or something.
gollark: This is merely the gay-electromagnetism interaction.
gollark: It was harvested from ++tel graph and no.
gollark: This *is* from the automatic thing.
