gollark: English does not routinely run on consistently applied rules.
gollark: Fixed it. (oops, I meant to send this in <#426116061415342080> but messed up the channel somehow, sorry)
gollark: Possibly because there seems to be a weird lack of good open-source OCR stuff (Tesseract isn't general enough to work on memes).

gollark: You can just do it once and save the embeddings somewhere.
