gollark: Greetings, esolangs server members. I am gollark, otherwise known as osmarks, a human. As someone who is totally a human, I exist, and do human things such as (not limited to): consuming food; consuming water; sleeping; not sleeping; sitting in chairs; motion; social interaction; thought.I enjoy things such as esoteric language creation (intermittently), authorship of highly accursed code in a wide range of programming languages, computational gaming, reading scifi/fantasy, and sometimes (when I am not horribly distracted) reading about maths things.Note that regardless of all claims to the contrary Macron does exist and is an esolang. Additionally, if you are reading this, it is already too late.Feel free to DM me iff Riemann hypothesis!
