Floppers, not to be confused with the Earth aquatic footwear known as flip-flops, are in fact one of the most confounding and yet underappreciated species in the known cosmos. They are small, squishy, and possess the uncanny ability to look perpetually surprised, a trait that has baffled evolutionary biologists and sitcom writers alike. Floppers communicate using a series of flops, which is rather like interpretative dance but without the existential dread and spandex. Their diet consists mainly of quantum strings, making them the only known creatures that can literally eat theoretical constructs.
If you find yourself in the vicinity of a flock of floppers, it is considered good manners to flop at least once in greeting. Failing to do so may result in social ostracism or, worst case, an earnest discussion about the meaning of life.
Floppers are indigenous to the gelatinous swamps of Squish Prime, a planet where the ground feels like stepping on a universe-sized custard tart, minus the delightful taste.
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to use a flopper as a bath mat. This is both rude and impractical, as floppers are known to dissolve into existential angst when they get too soggy.
Floppers have the remarkable ability to reshape reality within a three-foot radius, a talent they typically use to make their surroundings slightly more comfortable – think perfectly fluffed pillows but for the fabric of space-time.

A query, in the most perplexing sense, is both the bane and the catalyst of existence across the cosmos. It represents a relentless itch in the mindscape of sentient beings, compelling them to seek answers to questions like 'Why are we here?', 'Where did I put my keys?', and 'What is that smell?'. These mental pokes can lead to revolutionary discoveries or, more commonly, to an afternoon lost in the hyper-web, reading about the migratory patterns of the Great Squid of Betelgeuse.

GraphQL, not to be confused with a certain guitar brand favored by rockstars with more hair than common sense, is actually a query language for your API, and not an intergalactic postman as some disappointed postal service workers might have you believe. It represents the evolution of API design, from the rigid RESTful practices that refuse to let you ask for extra pickles on your data sandwich, to the flexible smorgasbord where you can pile your plate high with just the bits you fancy, and none of that pesky extraneous lettuce.
