gollark: I wonder if anyone can make PB palindromic number lines.
gollark: I bet there are probably only a few of those around.
gollark: https://dragcave.net/lineage/isHe9It doesn't look like a 9-year-old...
gollark: <@366271094648209422> Solipsism has some other non-checkery lines (I have an IOU going for one), so if you just want an EG PB one and have lots of stuff to trade and several years the lines could probably reach ridiculous lengths.
gollark: Lowercase and pronounceable!
