Final
gollark: Well, the god should clearly have kept doing that, since it worked better.
gollark: Why would a god choose to communicate in such a ridiculous way and not write "HI, GOD HERE" in giant letters of fire in the sky?
gollark: Again, random noise? There are a lot of places you can read out information and a lot of different things you can compare against.
gollark: Oh yes, light speed is annoying too. Also how even the planets are mostly really boring.
gollark: The remaining volume is mostly stars, in which you will very very rapidly die.
