gollark: Well, yes, I would hope so.
gollark: (that was a joke)
gollark: If you don't like it, complain in <#484070855228391435> instead.
gollark: Regarding sicknessy stuff, have you tried just fogging stuff until 5d then hatching/hatcherying them then?
gollark: Have you tried /makeallmyeggsgold yet?
