gollark: Oh, and unrelatedly, apparently UK food supply chains are very close to failure (it is already bad enough that there are significant gaps on shelves). Fun!

gollark: Why? We could replace the important ones.

gollark: I would feel happier if we just removed all microorganisms ever.

gollark: Like the backward eye arrangement in humans, and that misrouted nerve.

gollark: Intended? It seems like another of those evolutionary quirks which are somewhat bad, but also local maxima which can't really be moved away from.
