  You can tell how bad a news site is when they translate billion to biljoona and thus making the amount 1000 times higher.

  Looks like we have something in common! Hämmästyttävä!

  The long system with milliard and billiard increases with every potens which makes sense. The short system on the other hand 🤷

  You probably want double new lines in your posts. Or two spaces at the end of your paragraphs but that’s usually a bit annoying to do.

      So you escape the newline and you get a newline? That’s some black magic voodoo. But hey if it works. Much simpler to handle than double space since you can see them and your phone doesn’t try to make them into period space instead of space space.

      Newlines with double space (or space backslash apparently) also let’s you have newlines in a quote block without exiting the block. I see a lot of people struggle with that on Lemmy. E.g.

      > A quote with multiple lines
      Will exit if you don't handle the newline
      

      will render as:

      A quote with multiple lines Will exit if you don’t handle the newline

      So you want to do

      > A quote with multiple lines \
      Will exit if you don't handle the newline
      

      A quote with multiple lines
      Will exit if you don’t handle the newline

      Or add space space at the end instead of space backslash.

        The inventors of Markdown thought they would do something devastatingly clever and eat newlines if the next line has content. That way, if you’re writing Markdown in the Stone Age and your editor doesn’t support soft-wrap (it’s a stone tablet), you can do your own soft-wrap and Markdown will “helpfully” eat all the newlines (unless there are two or more).

        Of course this has done nothing to help and instead caused chaos and confusion for anyone non-technical. Very clever
