gollark: Thus, python-able image file.
gollark: A fun feature of python is that it actually will run `__main__.py` or something from ZIP files, and ZIP files are weird and backward and can be concatenated onto the end of another file without decoders caring much.
gollark: PNG has some mandatory header parts at the start and I don't think you could make something both a valid PNG and valid in any modern executable format.
gollark: PNG files aren't "run", they're opened and displayed by some sort of image viewer program. And no PNG has no metadata, or it's not actually a valid file. While you can mix hidden data in with the image data, computers will not randomly run that, barring some sort of extremely bad vulnerability.
gollark: It's probably going to be treated as multiple sub-objects for collision detection though.
