gollark: Well, yes, I suppose we do use advanced ideatic/memetic devices to sift hëavserveric discussion and emotion from the noösphere and expand heavserver.
gollark: "Rate at which they create heavserver"/"How often someone declares that they hate 'heavserver' and always avoid it"

gollark: Wait, user was on heavserver?
