gollark: Some people say they're a Prometheus Labs product, others say they're some weird SCP where their inventor was wiped out by a temporal change but the SRAs kept existing, some say they were invented in the 1800s, some in the 1900s or early 2000s, and some say they run on enslaved reality benders.
