gollark: As they say, there is no escape.
gollark: Rescheduled to 2022.
gollark: (not February 30th; this does not, in fact, exist, under any circumstances. DO NOT believe any claims of its existence. Immediately cease contact with anyone who tells you it exists. The 30th of February does not, and in fact by definition cannot, occur. There is no 30/02. It is not real. Avert your gaze. IT IS NOT REAL.)
gollark: They hide a lot of things, actually.
