GET BOMBADEERED, IDIOT
(mander.xyz)
The Brachinus crepitans, or bombardier beetle, measures just 2 cm but wields a powerful chemical defense. When threatened, it mixes hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide inside its abdomen, triggering an exothermic reaction that reaches 100 °C. It ejects bursts of corrosive benzoquinones at 500 pulses per second, burning and repelling predators. This precise, repeatable mechanism has inspired research into reigniting gas turbines in aircraft under extreme conditions as low as –50 °C. Its internal valve and chamber system is now studied in chemical engineering and advanced biomimicry.
I tend to use them because they're easier than quotes.
Newlines won't terminate the block but with quotes you have to manually insert a
>at each linebreak.I understand you can use double space to use a markdown linebreak and mitigate the need to do it.
However if you're copy pasting a quote this still has to be done manually by the person copying the text.
In which case manually putting the
>on empty lines is easier but still more time consuming than using a code block.This is for all flavors of markdown I've used including github flavored.
