There's a meme from some other site about being old and telling the tale of 2016 to an inquisitive youth. If i remember correctly, it goes along the lines of:

Oh you you wanna hear about 2016? Takes 3 shots of tequila Well it all started in 2015 with this gorilla...

Everything since has been a fucking wild ride. Past couple of years have been relatively tame thankfully. But I can't help feeling like that story arc is not yet finished and it leaves me feeling apprehensive about the conclusion.

Side note: Ooo neat, bracketing something with tripple * makes it bold. TIL.

Side side note: Not just bold but italicized as well. Cool.

I don't know, but it works on Liftoff - if what you wanted was monospaced text (like in programming).

Simple explanation: lemmy uses markdown under the hood. In markdown, one star *surrounded* things are italics; two start **surrounded** things are bold. Three stars basically '* **combine** *' both to make: italic bold.

Bracketing with ~~ ~~does this~~

To make monospace font, use ` as brackets.

To quote, begin the line with >

this is a quote

Begin a line with hashtag to make it a heading. One hashtag for h1, two for h2 etc.
