gollark: It was hilarious.
gollark: We convinced Firecubez that Macron was a real language.
gollark: If we define Macron as the category Sh(S)Sh(S) of (set-valued) macrons on a (small) site SS, which is a Grothendieck topos, then the category of macrons on (C,J)(C,J) is the full subcategory of the category of premacrons.
gollark: As ever.
gollark: I was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
