gollark: > I'd say exercise is pretty fun if it's combat sportsI should probably try that (those?) when stuff reopens here.
gollark: Exercise is already pretty not fun, but I don't think I'd prefer to be electrocuted at the same time.
gollark: I mean, probably? But you would still have to sit there being exercised. And there would probably be issues with them not being coordinated properly with the rest of the body.
gollark: Hmm, I'd like to be somewhat taller. We clearly need a way to transfer height.
gollark: I mean, on the one hand, free food and housing and such. On the other hand, everything else about it is very horrible.
