WELCOME TO PLOPALOT
MORNING SID. HOW’S THE POST OFFICE?
OBJECT profile: POoP DIaMOND
Name: Poop diamond
What are they? Poop diamonds are rare crystals, made when poop is squashed for thousands of years. What are they used for?
When used in F.A.R.T. drives (Fast Acceleration & Range Technology) they create huge bursts of energy that can power a spacecraft. Interesting fact... The only downside of poop diamond fuel is the absolutely horrendous smell.
SLIME SCHOOL STARTS IN THREE HOURS! COME ON MY LITTLE SLUGLETS.
CRAZY BUSY... I HAD TO DELIVER TWO PACKAGES LAST MONTH!
I’ll NEVER find any poop diamonds.
