Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the chuck keys for electric drills.

EMF info and help🎨 Be a patron of the arts (please, if you can)
As the wise Pratchett explained:
He sighed, and leaned over the desk. “You see,” he said, “cheese does make money. And opera doesn’t. Opera’s what you spend money on.”
“But . . what do you get out of it?”
“You get opera. You put money in, you see, and opera comes out,” said Salzella wearily.
We may not have opera, but we do have arts and installations, and you can be a Patron of These Arts for as little as a tenner, and be featured on a special thing. Or remain anonymous. Up to you.

DaveGiven the state of the world, one might need to find friends amongst strangers at some point.
I'd accept "De Chelonian Mobile" as codeword then. Discworld readers do know why.
StevanThe trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist
on coming along and trying to put things in it.

There are many rhymes about magpies, but none of them is very reliable
because they are not the ones the magpies know themselves.
