Notes

gollark: Wait, hold on, I need to get a higher quality version. EDIT: it is too late, it cannot be saved.
gollark: Heresy. The avocado cares not for such lies.

gollark: I've noticed that requests for images *linked* in a Discord channel apparently go *through* Discord, which is a bit worrying and probably how the thing detects that.
