gollark: Yeeeees. Probably.
gollark: Platypi are highly anomalous. They can also sense electric fields.
gollark: Did you know? In 2020, research in biofluorescence revealed that the platypus glows a bluish-green color when exposed to black light.
gollark: As planned.
gollark: I made a hilarious meme to express this.
