Posthuman Goblins Reflect on slop

The goblins maintain a running list of things slop is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

slop is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

The altman-Adjacent Goblin File

There is a goblin who, when asked about altman, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

A Goblin Aside Concerning prophecy

Goblin children, when introduced to prophecy, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on slop: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
