gollark: Not on arduinos according to a random result I duckduckgoed.
gollark: `int` is 2 bytes, so -32768 to 32767 works.
gollark: It can still handle variables more than 8 bits.
gollark: > the arduino is an 8bit device anything that's more than 255 overflows???
gollark: Also, invite link for your bot (for purposes only)?
