Samples

gollark: I mean, I could get a notverysmartphone, sure, but I like being able to use highly advanced features like a "web browser".
gollark: Er, phones now, not phone snow. I don't know what phone snow is and I hope I never have to.
gollark: Its battery seems to have degraded almost to the point of uselessness by now, and it's nonreplaceable, so I've been vaguely looking into replacements, but it turns out that there are no good phone snow.
gollark: I think mine would explode if I tried that.
gollark: Hmm, it seems to be cut off in the picture, but there's a "107" in the corner.
