gollark: I made an automatic rap generation programIt works by appending an unrelated word which rhymes with the end of the previous line amTo every second lineThis totally counts as rap mineVery valid rap indeedI win esolangs now speed
gollark: Nobody can diss my rhymesBecause they are made from fresh limesThis is the next lineApparently that rhymes with pine
gollark: My rhymes are strangeBut I'm going to rhyme with orængeI'm using a rhyming dictionaryOnline, not from the libraryTechnically it's an API for word association queriesThere exists a thing known as a "geometric series"
gollark: I am going to rip you apartSimilarly to shredded cheeseBy deploying a railgunWhich shoots bees
