Personnel
gollark: Evil idea: make a bot which reposts random memes off some niche subreddit (so nobody will notice) with the picture fuzzed a bit so repost detectors won't notice it.
gollark: Oops.
gollark: The irony...
gollark: <@248958355996016662> explicitly said they wouldn't be very problematic so they're fine.
gollark: So if there was a good strategy to use for trading, I could probably implement it.
