gollark: You would probably be better off shipping it minified then compressed via whatever compression algorithm can unpack it without being huge itself.

gollark: In that case, why even actually *read* it at all?

gollark: Yes. But in any case, do you just start a day with a long list of expectations for what you'll read today?

gollark: Your expectations were wrong, evidently.
