Remarks

    gollark: You would be better off doing it on the end user devices. It is becoming increasingly hard to do this at the network level.
    gollark: You don't know what the distribution looks like.
    gollark: Why would another randomly chosen set necessarily be better?
    gollark: You pipe things to it, and it ignores them.
    gollark: This is probably a popular eldraeversal game show.
