gollark: I made an automatic rap generation programIt works by appending an unrelated word which rhymes with the end of the previous line amTo every second lineThis totally counts as rap mineVery valid rap indeedI win esolangs now speed
gollark: Nobody can diss my rhymesBecause they are made from fresh limesThis is the next lineApparently that rhymes with pine
gollark: My rhymes are strangeBut I'm going to rhyme with orængeI'm using a rhyming dictionaryOnline, not from the libraryTechnically it's an API for word association queriesThere exists a thing known as a "geometric series"
gollark: I am going to rip you apartSimilarly to shredded cheeseBy deploying a railgunWhich shoots bees
gollark: I made time parsing workthough it has a weird quirkbecause it turns out that general parsing of times is quite a hard problem, so I just had it parse one hardcoded date format, parse time *deltas* using a nice regex, and use some random library for the rest.
