gollark: What do you mean "does not work"?
gollark: I *think* that `local something` should be an upvalue and therefore work in the function.
gollark: Define `local something` outside that thread, do `something = whatever` in the thread, handle `something` outside that bit.
gollark: Yep, `filesystem` and `io` both can be used to do that.
gollark: Yes, there's not one for specifically writing a single thing to a file, because the `io` library for that is built in. Possibly `filesystem` works too for that.
