Choosing the price per-customer like that should be illegal.

Here's a Wikipedia article on the subject. Nazis still exist today (as neo-Nazis) and they desperately want hating them to be a matter of political opinion instead of a matter of humanity. Don't give them that.

Interrobangs always make it look like the text renderer is bugging out, at least to me.

Don't you know that adding your pronouns to an email costs an entire 6-10 bytes? There are children starving in Africa and you're wasting your bytes on pronouns! Shame on you.

Pronouns are optional. Nobody is forcing you to list them.

I don't think hating Nazis should be considered a political statement.

Nobody mentioned that specifically, actually. That does add more context.

Ohh, thanks. I can see why that would cause a lot of anger.

I've noticed that lemmy.world is delisted from most instance lists, so it's interesting that they'd choose that one. Thank you for the answer!

Tankies are so annoying. Authoritarians in general, really.

 

Sidebar doesn't say why, but it does say I have to post, so I guess I'm posting to ask why!

If you draw a line with 2 break points where the direction the line is going in is randomized and we say there's a 5° tolerance, the odds of getting 2 right angles forming 3/4 of what looks like a rectangle are (5/360)^2, so 1 in 5184. I don't know how many formations follow that pattern on Mars and obviously the distribution of angles chosen wouldn't be uniform, but that's a very low number. I bet that's not even the only box-like terrain present on Mars.

For those ASCIIng themselves why this works, 0x20 is 00100000 in binary, so it only flips one bit, increasing or decreasing the character's value by 32. Capital 'A' is 65 and lowercase 'a' is 97, an offset of exactly 32! The rest of the uppercase and lowercase letters follow in order.
