This is how I feel whenever Zoomers are nostalgic for the year 2016. The only reason 2016 looks good when you look back on it is that 2016 hadn't finished doing its damage at the time.
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.
???
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.
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.
italic * | bold ** | bold italic ***
Bracketing with ~~ ~~does this~~
