gollark: Why would it be *their* fault if some idiot climbed it?
gollark: It will try and directly message you if the channel the reminder was created in doesn't exist, and if even *that* fails it'll find a channel in the guild it was created in which you can see.
gollark: I finally got round to making my Discord bot's reminder function go to greater lengths to try and deliver reminders.
gollark: I know (on the internet) someone who just says "good morning" regardless of the time to skip that hassle.
gollark: Oh, right, chemistry.
