Births
gollark: This may require testing. It's not impossible that *somehow* `pcall` is using the "real" environment, but I have no idea what would cause htat.
gollark: ```lua -- if function is not from within the VM, return env from within sandbox function environment.getfenv(arg) local env if type(arg) == "number" then env = gf(arg + 1) else gf(arg) end if not env or env._HOST and string.find(env._HOST, "YAFSS") == nil then return gf() else return env end end```
gollark: Well, that's incredibly weird and I have no idea what causes that!
gollark: I'll have to check the... YAFSS, I think... code for getfenv?
gollark: Okay, hmm, that actually does work, no idea *how*.
