gollark: Without API access, going over everything on the scroll is *annoying*. The only reason I can process eggs at all is because I spent ages on some regexes.
gollark: Yes, that's possible, except you can put in someone else's.
gollark: Isn't just *asking* what scroll an egg is from prone to misuse?
gollark: Yes, but people are unlikely to do that.
