gollark: I once made traffic lights which shot anything moving too fast with lasers, but didn't exempt lasers from being lased, that was fun.
gollark: > The frickin' laser beam fires a bolt of superheated plasma, a softnose laser, or some other handwavey science. This powerful projectile can deal incredible damage to mobs and blocks alike.So apparently it does lampshade it, yes.
gollark: Is that really a *wiki* though?
gollark: Well, apparently the wiki.cc.cc search doesn't work.
gollark: If science™ mattered lasers would be actual beams which travelled at light speed and without the weird range limits.
