Lol at the comment not understanding that women can have dicks
- my trans coworker a few jobs back showed us a meme: "Girls are like pizza. Some girls are like a plain cheese pizza. Girls like me are like a pizza with sausage."
  she was a trip. Fond working with her.
  
  Which reminds me: never seen Polish or German sausage on a pizza.
Person replies: are you straight? You just haven't had the right dick yet
Doesn't work if the NPC is female tho
Helen launched a thousand ships but somehow people think that it’s dick that’s powerful? Please.
- And that was only with her face!
Curb Your Enthusiasm theme begins to play
Ah darn— on Kbin it shows properly. On Lemmy (or at least my Lemmy client, I’m using wefwef) the post title shows as “¯_(ツ)_/¯” because the backslash is registered as an escape or formatting character, so you have to do 2 backlashes. It was common on Reddit for that to happen (warning: Reddit profile link), so somebody would give them the other backslash or 2 (in the case of the underscores emphasizing text as well.)
- That's standard markdown, which old reddit used. I don't think it should be applied in titles which should be rendered as plain text. On my client, Connect, it renders correctly.
  
  Oh! I might open an issue then, if it seems inconsistent from the default web interface.
Doesn't make any sense.
- Sure does, what's tripping you up there?
  
  Definitional collapse.
you dropped this -> , here you go
Thank you for explaining the drawing 🙏
- Not sure if /s or not, so: some people can't see, that is for their screen readers
- A transcription is not an explanation
So, can anyone explain why the "\" symbol disappears when typed out normally? what do you have to do to make it register?
- Markdown formatting, is often used as what is called an escape sequence. I don't knew the rules for lemmy's markdown, just remember to add 2 's
  
  with the shrug emoticon you have to use 3
  the underscore is used for text formatting so you have to escape it and the back slash

  Huh. didnt think it was that east, thank you!
- I just look up "shrug text emoji" and copy pasta that lol 😂
  
  Here you go, this is how to make it appear properly in markdown: ¯(ツ)_/¯
  It will appear as this when you paste it: ¯(ツ)/¯
