The Goblin Stack Trace of slop

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: slop has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

The slopification of slop was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. slop has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because slop was always a little bit slop-adjacent.
