589) Chopbot. A robot for chopping wood. We've taken feedback on board about Onionbot's and Mowbot's personalities and instead of being angry about its job, this robot really, really enjoys it. Problem solved! #SmallRobotsRemastered

@ozzelot I feel that "getting punched on the nose for being a fascist" is still a purpose

@mattround we're drawing closer and closer to "answers on a postcard" territory for a lot of things now

So, I guess I need to add that in addition to being slop-free, Vim Classic is explicitly antifascist and does not associate with fascists or care for endorsements from them.
