gollark: For me, mint tastes horrible and feels burning-y (yes, I am bad at describing things). I don't understand why people like it so much.
gollark: ... seriously why.
gollark: Please stop.
gollark: I care about battery more, myself. My phone has 2GB of RAM and some low-end octacore SoC, and that's basically enough for web browsing, SMSing, Discord, and occasional random other stuff.
