%%** What exactly has nearly wiped out Europa's female Sparks is never explicitly stated as it's unlikely Prince Aaronev's experiments are responsible for more than a small number of their deaths.

Aaronev is responsible for far more than just "a small number" of kills. Tarvek says it was "hundreds".

I Ate What clean up. The trope is when a character eats something, unaware of what they are consuming, and then reacts in disgust after they find out what it is. Misuse will be deleted or moved to another trope when applicable. Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be removed or commented out depending on the amount of context within the entry. Also, I Ate What is not a character trope.

* In an episode of ''[[http://plif.courageunfettered.com/archive/wc221.gif The Parking Lot is Full]]'', you are informed that you are one of only 23 real people in the world and everyone else is a fake, designed to keep you from the others. Taken to logical conclusions, this becomes even more terrifying. Everyone in your life, everyone you love, hate, talk to, work for, even all the tropers here are designed by some malignant force to keep you from making a genuine connection with one of the few other 'real people'.
* For the 2007 ''Webcomic/CrossoverWars'' event, a fake comic was created as the birthplace of Villain Henchman Max Catnap, a cat furry with a disturbing hatred of his own kind. The fake comic's progression from crayon-drawn, innocently well-intended furry fare to brutal murder is enhanced by Max's erasing of himself from the archives, revealing the full story only in flashbacks.
* [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=812 This]] ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' comic sums up this trope very well.
* The recent ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' arc in which Florence's short-term memory is impaired as part of an effort to check on her mind, since she's technically an artificial intelligence.
** Not to mention that despite being a walking, talking, biological entity, she has a remote control that can turn her off, her brain can be "adjusted" to change her attitudes without her knowing, and every time she interacts with the company that created her, she gives herself a personality test afterward to make sure that she hasn't been "rewritten." If that wasn't enough, when a security guard finds out about it, he yells at one of the developers about it, pointing out that "This stuff could be adapted for humans," and asking whether he should be worried. The developer says of course not: the security personnel are unionized, so the company would test it on independent contractors first.
