gollark: It was obviously LyricLy. So obvious I guessed them twice.
gollark: I mostly just ignore all the weird constants, which might be a flaw.
gollark: Interesting! Maybe I should do bees with this at some point.
gollark: If only SOMEONE had FIXED ESOBOT so I could participate and it would alert me to these things.
gollark: After I went to all that effort to generate MD5 collisions to appear more betterer at guessing, I really should have made sure to not fill in things twice.
