gollark: Looking to cryogenically freeze yourself or just general interest?
gollark: This also applies to things like little-used keys, USB sticks, and micro-USB cables, although the exact decay modes are unknown.
gollark: If you leave them somewhere for when it's needed, see, they become nonexistent over long periods of time.

gollark: Why?
