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.

Surely there must be some fetish site for that...

  1. Person replies: are you straight? You just haven't had the right dick yet

Doesn't work if the NPC is female tho

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.)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh! I might open an issue then, if it seems inconsistent from the default web interface.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just checked in the browser and it does render as plain text, so that would appear to be how it's intended to look. I think titles should be that way anyway - large plain text is enough to communicate a title.

Could you finish this statement, if possible? Trans woman are ______

Now I would recommend taking great care in how you answer. Some consideration of what instance you're on would probably also help.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trans women are wonderful and accepted parts of our society! Trans women sometimes have penises and that makes us twinsies because I have a penis too! Trans women are humans usually except for the aliens pretending to be humans and sometimes posing as Trans women!

There I finished it for you! Couldn't help meself

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

And don't forget women.
Trans wonen are women. Simple as.

Only in your own mind, making it a "you" problem, not one with reality.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

you dropped this -> \, here you go

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So, can anyone explain why the "\" symbol disappears when typed out normally? what do you have to do to make it register?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

2 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

3 ¯⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh dear. In my client, Connect, the 2 slash version looks right and the 3 slash version has a doubled arm. I suspect it's not rendering markdown correctly.

Lemme try:

¯⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay idk how to describe this, but those two text strings above are seemingly identical in plain text, but one renders correctly, the other incorrectly in my client. I feel like I'm being gaslit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Liftoff here, 2 is the right number... except in some comments where 3 works too unless it doesn't 🤷

2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - OK (second italics escaped)

2 ¯\(ツ)/¯ - unescaped ITALICS

32 20 c2 af [5c 5c] 5f 28 e3 83 84 29 5f 2f c2 af 0a

3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - OK (first italics escaped)

33 20 c2 af [5c 5c] [5c 5f] 28 e3 83 84 29 5f 2f c2 af 0a

3 ¯⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ - doubled

Ah, so there's a non-printing character in there. It's weird that the person making a demo to explain it made that mistake.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Huh. didnt think it was that east, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just look up "shrug text emoji" and copy pasta that lol 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Here you go, this is how to make it appear properly in markdown: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

It will appear as this when you paste it: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks though I don't seem to be having any issues, looks fine on kabin!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my bad, I keep forgetting how differently the fediverse can look in different instances!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No worries I appreciate the help!
