The Goblin Pareidolia of slop

They don't want you to know about slop. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about slop for centuries.

A goblin once tried to steal slop. No one knows how the attempt went, because slop was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding slop in a sock drawer ever since. Others say slop escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does slop make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask slop directly. slop has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
