The envswp, short for the Environmental Swap-a-ma-jig, is a nifty gadget that's as rare as a sober thought in a Vogon poetry reading. Designed by the hyper-intelligent, pan-dimensional beings who were, by a monumental coincidence, not involved in the creation of Earth, the envswp allows its user to exchange the ambient atmosphere of one's immediate surroundings for that of another location. The result is often a sudden and delightful change in weather, a fact that British picnickers have dreamt of for centuries.
If you're venturing into regions known for their drabness, pack an envswp in your knapsack. Just don't swap a tornado with your current sunny day picnic, as it tends to ruin the sandwiches.
The envswp can be found in the Upside-Down Markets of Beelsebub V, where shopkeepers insist you walk on your hands to purchase goods. Be wary of imitation devices that only swap smells; the durian-for-roses exchange is particularly traumatizing.
Avoid using the envswp near black holes, as swapping the void for, say, a Hawaiian beach has been known to cause cosmic confusion and spoil holiday plans for entire civilizations.
Fun fact: The envswp was once used to replace the air inside a political debate with that of a helium production facility. The resulting high-pitched policy discussions were not only a hit single on six planets but also led to unexpectedly uplifting legislation.

Envdist, not to be confused with an environmentalist's distaste for single-use plastics, is a peculiar phenomenon found exclusively in the Glimmung Nebula, where the laws of space-time like to get a bit tipsy on the weekends. It's characterized by the abrupt and disconcerting redistribution of environmental factors such as temperature, gravity, and the color of the local star's Tuesdays. Scholars speculate that if darkness falls fast in these parts, one might find themselves experiencing a starry night on what is ostensibly Wednesday morning.

Envtmp, not to be confused with a poorly spelled attempt at environmental temperature, is actually a microscopic life form renowned for its ability to cause momentary envy in sentient beings. After several pints at the local intergalactic pub, you might admit to feeling a bit 'envtmp' when your friend's teleporter model is sleeker than yours.
