gollark: I'm sure I remember there being some Google feature where it told you some of the demographic assumptions it had on you.
gollark: This is pretty consistently positive and seemingly a decent bit higher than inflation.

gollark: Apparently the disk has "Accumulated power on time, hours:minutes 69233:52" and was "Manufactured in week 18 of year 2012", making it in fact 9 years old and not 11.
