gollark: skynet, for trust reasons, has no authentication mechanism whatsoever.
gollark: Guaranteed ZERO collisions (for string inputs)!
gollark: excellent replacement for all hashing algorithms:```lualocal function coolhash(x) return tostring(x):reverse()end```
gollark: Which you're somehow using to seed the regular RNG for some incredibly stupid reason.
gollark: SHA256 is *already* a perfectly good hashing algorithm.
