You created a preformatted text block (code block) by adding four spaces at the start of your post. That's a feature of the text mark-up language called Markdown. Markdown is converted to HTML in web browsers, or to native text formatting on mobile apps.

Normally all excess spaces are ignored. That just how HTML works, but when starting a line with four spaces (or more) Markdown makes that line use a monospace font and keeps all whitespace. Probably by using a <pre> tag.

I'm assuming you did this because you're old and you added an indent to your paragraph. I'm old, too, and learned to do that in school for type written documents, but no one does that anymore. Instead, we use a blank line between paragraphs.

Look at me, I'm intending (wrongly)!

Ms. Pac Man.

It's such a good game to play in an arcade.

The sad part is how many people in the comments unquestioningly think it's real, and think they are invoking some sort of protection for these kids by saying so in a Facebook comment.

God, why are people so dumb?

Nope, and I tried it in both Firefox and a chromium based browser just in case.

Clicking that link only gives me "server error".

When I click it, it just goes to the homepage.

I wasted like a minute looking through your post history to realize you meant a comment. Fix your comment. While you're at it, link to your other comment instead of just saying "down below", because it was above your comment it in my app.

It's easy, here's the link: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/1176164

Thanks! I just spent the last 2 hours reading random math and science articles. Mostly blog posts.

Notable ones I read:

• The Complexity Series P1: P vs. NP
• Chemical Imbalance
• A Mathematician’s Guide to Wordle

You're confusing posts and comments.

I think NFTs are really stupid. I would even say I hate them. But I don't need a community based around hating something. No one should.

This was simply the first example of a "hate" community I've seen on Lemmy, so I spoke up.

I was kind of hoping hate filled communities wouldn't be a thing on Lemmy. Sadly, everything's the same everywhere you go.

Clarification: I think NFTs are really stupid. I would even say I hate them. But I don't need a community based around hating something. No one should.

Makes sense to me, but I've read the opposite.

Anyone got a source that explains how it really works?
