Performance
gollark: Heresy. The avocado cares not for such lies.
gollark: > pounds of force
gollark: I've noticed that requests for images *linked* in a Discord channel apparently go *through* Discord, which is a bit worrying and probably how the thing detects that.
gollark: It just has slightly bizarre metadata (creation date *after* modification date?) and was apparently made in paint.net.
gollark: I've looked at the image, and it doesn't seem to do anything special if viewed. I initially thought it was an animated PNG or something, but it shows as a normal PNG to everything.
