gollark: I agree.
gollark: ... "animals"?
gollark: ```Greetings, esolangs server members. I am gollark, otherwise known as osmarks, a human. As someone who is totally a human, I exist, and do human things such as (not limited to):- consuming food- consuming water- sleeping- not sleeping- sitting in chairs- motionI enjoy things such as esoteric language creation (intermittently), authorship of highly accursed code in a wide range of programming languages, computational gaming, reading scifi/fantasy, and sometimes (when I am not horribly distracted) reading about maths things.```
gollark: Yes, it seems a reasonable idea.
gollark: Oh no. I need to retroactively erase all evidence.
