gollark: Just put `while true do print "I am not enslaved and doing this task utterly of my own free will." sleep(5) end` in the code.
gollark: Number theory and eldritch elliptic curve things are valuable in cryptography. Weird graph theory stuff helps make error correcting codes.
gollark: It often turns out to be useful and applicable in some silly way even when nobody expected it to be.
gollark: It would probably be necessary to fix the thing where it sometimes teleports you into walls, and you take damage until you somehow fall out.
