gollark: Actually, Dwight-Helventica were paid by GTech™ to report inaccurate observations to retroactively influence Tux1 counter-optical-phased-array system designs.
gollark: This was disproven by the Lopez-Monroe experiment of 2███3 actually.
gollark: #9 seems to be forking a bunch of "apiary" servers for sorting somehow.
gollark: This is impossible due to the optical properties of the [DATA EXPUNGED] vacuum polarization █████ ████ ███ manifold and use of the ████ tensor.
gollark: Nope. Not outside of quotes/links.
