🐧 15 Gentoo penguins are trapped underground right now in the basement of SEA LIFE London.
Kept in artificial ice, bright lights, and the constant noise of tourists, all for profit.

Freedom for Animals is holding a protest outside SEA LIFE London on Sunday 19th October at 10.30am.

fun fact you can totally abuse the way that builtins.replaceStrings.
basically when "" matches (and well it always matches), so it runs the replacement, adds the next char, then moves on, runs replace, then goes to the next char instead of rechecking.

nix-repl> builtins.replaceStrings ["" "e"] [" " "i"] "Hello world"
" H e l l o w o r l d "

nix-repl> builtins.replaceStrings ["ll" ""] [" " "i"] "Hello world"
"iHie ioi iwioirilidi"
