Something like re.replace([0-9]*/ 0, UNDEFINED , string) (simplified because I am lazy) , so MrMola can no longer type 0 / 0 and it's automatically shown as UNDEFINED :- )<@520480232738652161> Bots and moderators cannot, for extremely obvious reasons, edit other people's messages.

gollark: Also, does the "totally ordered" bit matter at all? Complex numbers *aren't* totally ordered, right?
gollark: You should probably mention some *specific* contradictions.
