 @yolk | Empus: An IRC bot is a program designed to automate tasks and interact with users on an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) 
network. It can perform various functions such as moderating channels, providing information, and executing commands. IRC bots 
are typically written in scripting languages and can be customized to serve specific purposes.

Natural Conversation

toast and never own a house. To constantly wonder if you left the oven on.
