gollark: I feel like I'm invoking dark bee gods at exponentially increasing rates.
gollark: ```mapM (\x -> [x, 0]) [1..5][[1,2,3,4,5],[1,2,3,4,0],[1,2,3,0,5],[1,2,3,0,0],[1,2,0,4,5],[1,2,0,4,0],[1,2,0,0,5],[1,2,0,0,0],[1,0,3,4,5],[1,0,3,4,0],[1,0,3,0,5],[1,0,3,0,0],[1,0,0,4,5],[1,0,0,4,0],[1,0,0,0,5],[1,0,0,0,0],[0,2,3,4,5],[0,2,3,4,0],[0,2,3,0,5],[0,2,3,0,0],[0,2,0,4,5],[0,2,0,4,0],[0,2,0,0,5],[0,2,0,0,0],[0,0,3,4,5],[0,0,3,4,0],[0,0,3,0,5],[0,0,3,0,0],[0,0,0,4,5],[0,0,0,4,0],[0,0,0,0,5],[0,0,0,0,0]]```What is this *doing*?
gollark: `concatMap (\x -> [x, 0]) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]` is not the same as `mapM (\x -> [x, 0]) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`.
gollark: I think it's something with `zip` then.
gollark: Hmm, I'm confused, it seems like `mapM` is NOT `concatMap`.
