Plan ahead

Just for fun

/8ball, /advice, /bandname, /compliment, /insult, /ship, /rate and /inspiration all give you something to laugh at. /ai message: lets you chat to an AI. Browse the fun category in the command list for more.

Troubleshooting

Some of these commands need the Attach Files or Embed Links permission in the channel, for images and embeds.
Some are limited to protect against spam, so if OcelotBOT says you're using it too quickly, wait a moment and try again.
If you can't find a command when you type /, see slash commands not showing up.
