gollark: The borrow checker would be *highly* unhappy with this.
gollark: This would require global variables.
gollark: Well, yes, but not your claims that:- ☭ is extremely high energy but the energy is distributed amongst all ☭ instances- *somehow* apiochronoformic manipulation used to deploy age-specific cognitohazards would cause them all to teleport into each other
gollark: This whole ☭ annihilation mechanism just seems ridiculous.
gollark: No, the ☭-¬☭ annihilation causing such a scenario was implausible, not apiochronoformics.
