gollark: Cool people breathe NITROGEN.
gollark: Most sensible domain providers have "WHOIS privacy" now, so you can't.
gollark: It does also mean you can do fun stuff like images which look different if opened in browsers instead of being embedded.
gollark: <@183773411078569984> Images displayed in Discord are actually fetched through Discord's servers, so you can't get people's IPs without actual user interaction.
gollark: It's not a very hot take. I'm just annoyed that people somehow think that the random thing someone told them is definitely true and decide to attempt to bother thousands of people about it.
