gollark: This is an actual regex used to parse Markdown by one project:```^(?:(\*(?=[`\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~]))|\*)(?![\*\s])((?:(?:(?!\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)(?:[^\*]|[\\s]\*)|\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)|(?:(?:(?!\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)(?:[^\*]|[\\s]\*)|\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)*?(?<!\)\*){2})*?)(?:(?<![`\s\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])\*(?!\*)|(?<=[`\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])\*(?!\*)(?:(?=[`\s\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~]|$)))|^_([^\s_])_(?!_)|^_([^\s_<][\s\S]*?[^\s_])_(?!_|[^\s,!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])|^_([^\s_<][\s\S]*?[^\s])_(?!_|[^\s,!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])```(it's generated from a slightly less insane one with`punctuation` in place of the big mess of punctuation characters, to be fair)
gollark: How about, you have a swarm of bees carry flash memory chips between your computers?
gollark: OR DOES IT?
