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~~
italic * | bold ** | bold italic ***
Headings

Literal war with Russia, a potential return of large scale Covid, unsustainable weather, fascism rising around the world, and you call it "relatively tame"? Compared to what, a supernova?
No, 2016 really was a major turning point. 2020 was worse yes, but 2016 was when it all started going downhill.
