Pony express

Pony express was the first completely natural infinite growth pattern to emerge from soup that was neither the block-laying switch engine nor the glider-producing switch engine, instead being a combination of both of these. It was found by Apple Bottom using Adam P. Goucher's apgsearch script on September 16, 2015, but was not added to the Catagolue census until September 28.[1][2]

gollark: One byte input -> two to six bytes of lolcrypt.
gollark: I did. It's just that it gets exponentially more slow for each run, since lolcrypt inflates the size lots.
gollark: My inefficient lolcrypt algorithm can only manage about 9LOLcrypt (LOLcrypt repeated 9 times) before crashing with yield errors.
gollark: `hi!` -> `lOL lOL.lOlLol`
