What is Doomer? :(

It is a nebulous thing that may include but is not limited to Climate Change posts or Collapse posts.

Include sources when applicable for doomer posts, consider checking out !bloomer@www.hexbear.net once in awhile.

True. I type them with Shift+Option+hyphen or just -- on mobile.

Although come to think of it, do I use em-dashes, or en-dashes? I know I wrote something where I paid very close attention to which is which but I guess I'm more slipshod with those nowadays.

Type one into here or other sites like that. It's an en dash (the shorter one) if you get 2013 and an em dash if you get 2014

Thank you, mystery solved kind of. It's the em dash, I can see that very clearly on my computer that my muscles know the keyboard shortcut, but when I was typing on my phone I couldn't remember it.
