Then watch out for passing satori, since I don't care to see you in

It already has.
Conservation of angular momentum requires that a singularity of
zero radius spin at an infinite rate, producing an infinte
centrifugal force against a finite gravity.
I.e., it's naked because its bra flew off.

Is that the sort of couch potato that also emits keystrokes that
appear in various places around the universe, the resulting White
Holes being noteworthy only as white noise?

O O O o o o . . .

There. I've emitted a series of Black Holes to counter them.
