Cast
gollark: JS and HTML5 are highly accursed and complex so you have no chance of implementing them.
gollark: > ok fine, a microwave from the 1800s to be specific.I don't think they had those then. Modern magnetrons are IIRC a 1900s invention.
gollark: The bruteforce tester I ran only got me speed and a bunch of particle effects. Also mining fatigue.
gollark: Also I heard that they could disintegrate you.
gollark: I had some on SC, but they seemed to unprogram themselves or randomly vanish temporarily sometimes.
