Cement

Not to be confused with Cement (Arknights).

Cement, known in the wild as concrete, is a type of element that is found in gray substances. Seals are famously gray and as such are considered the animal embodiment of cement.

Pure elemental cement. Often found in groups of 12.

Seals love eating cement.

Origins

Cement was first discovered on the planet Mercury, which is entirely made of cement. Asteroids strike Mercury, sending chunks of cement floating through space, some of which land on Earth. Large chunks of cement are called monoliths. Small chunks of cement are called rock.

Nutrition

Cement is sadly inedible to any non-gray animal. Consuming cement while not gray will result in immediate asphyxiation and death.

Diet in seals

Seals, being one of the few gray animals, eat cement heartily. Cement allows them to sink and swim in water, while also providing the strength to their naturally brittle musculature. It is considered abnormal if a baby seal does not want to eat cement, so it is advised to force them to eat it, for their own good.

Usage in computing

Because computers are also grey and animals (didn't you know that?), the most common human use for cement is to sculpt it into those yummy little floppy disks they love so much. One computer, Bill Gates, loved cement so much that he made his own TV show called Windows CeMeNT. It was called Windows because he rationalized that due to the presence of glass in his chemical structure and no hinges or anything that would be used to craft a gate, he must be a window instead. He thusly renamed himself to Bill Windows. Windows CeMeNT is widely considered one of the worst shows of all time because every single episode's entire 30-minute runtime consisted of time lapses of cement hardening. Bill Windows still continues to make epsiodes to this day even though people wanted him to stop so bad they put him in Prison.
