    Oh my goodness, you’re totally right! I knew that from watching shows from over there but I hadn’t made the connection at the time. Maybe I remembered it subconsciously somehow and that’s why I thought it was so funny. Who knows, lol. I’m glad somebody else found it funny, too.

    Cackaroni and mingees got me giggling, too. Nice work!

    Great, now I keep giggling uncontrollably at the thought of “cacaroni and mheese!”

    I know that’s three words, and also probably isn’t objectively that funny…but, in my defense, my chronic pain bullshit is acting up to crazy levels and I haven’t been able to sleep in at least a couple days. Also, I’m a childish nincompoop.

    ANYWAY, thank you for the entertainment, Srack_Thovel!

    The only reason I know/knew is because I googled it way back when, ha!

    IIRC, it had something to do with how the software formatted comments. If you just used regular spaces to try and line the triangles up, it wouldn’t work, because the formatting would ignore any spaces at the beginning of the comment. So you had to use a different kind of invisible character, one it wouldn’t ignore and get rid of, by using an alt key + number code that’s slipping my mind because I’m not in front of a keyboard to use the ol’ muscle memory.
    (Although I rarely ever actually posted or commented. I took ‘lurk moar’ very seriously.)

    A lot like how on here or Reddit when people try to do the shruggy guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but because of the way the formatting works they get ¯_(ツ)_/¯ since they don’t know enough to figure out how to make it display the way they want

    … I’m sleep deprived, can you tell? Lmao
