gollark: That happened to me too. I wonder what Discord *did*.
gollark: Well, not sci-fi level, but definitely nanotechnology and pretty advanced.

Like how CPUs are basically insanely advanced nanotechnology which they manufacture at the scale of, well, not individual atoms, but smallish groups of atoms, mass-produced and sold very cheaply.
gollark: So low-level architecture then.
gollark: Wait, do you mean architecture or process?
