What's funny is you can tell exactly why it output this string.

When it stole literally all of Stack Overflow, it stole tons and tons of people's explanations of how to make a program that produces random character strings.

One of the easiest ways to do so, contains *this* ASCII string.
Lmao this rules so hard

We do need higher bills.

But not to make an appallingly run company "financeable and investable".
