gollark: The others do sort of, since people talk about them on here. We also have emojis: <:diode:694648592916283463> <:diode_superiority:694649066717446144> <:Transistor:694654534634569809>
gollark: It doesn't *physically exist*, though.
gollark: The diode and transistor cults still live on spirit, if not actually in role.
gollark: I almost always find these "do X to support cause Y" things kind of weird, because most of the time you're not (asked to be) doing anything to directly support said cause, but just getting people to give you donations to fund something related to it.
