Purpose

  • Irrigation
gollark: It sounds like the sort of utility library thing which could plausibly be larger and more complex than my entire project.
gollark: Sounds cool.
gollark: I don't like infinite scroll because I end up getting stuck scrolling down constantly.
gollark: Oh no, did you make an infinite scroll thing?
gollark: I was lazy and decided that users probably wouldn't load *that* much data, so it has absolutely no mechanism for removing entries for memory use reasons whatsoever.
