gollark: Blame UTF-16. It's its fault, somehow!
gollark: It is making your entire computer more authentically Japanian.
gollark: There's the native Lua one, which on CC is the native Java one, Xoshiro128++ or something for one random feature, and a weird SHA256-based one.
gollark: Nope!
gollark: Fun fact: PotatOS actually includes three different random number generators.
