      It’s not a virus, and I think that @TachyonTele@lemm.ee was saying that they’d like the study reproduced, not the Obelisks.

        I know that my comment deserved an “/s” since I was playing off of unclear pronouns and the article’s use of “virus-like,” but I felt that admitting that I was in on the joke undermined the humor. I stand by my choice and accept my downvotes for the chuckles.

      Because they’re not a virus. And they’re a new discovery, we don’t know how they reproduce.
