      Depending on the venue, I end up viewing emotions as a passive indicator of “Internet tenure”. O⁠_⁠o Conveys that someone has been on the Internet longer than 🤨 usage. (In some cases)

      I agree, but there is just too many who are late t9 the oarty and just wouldn get it.

      ¯ _(ツ)_/¯

      EDIT: I wonder why the backslash doesn’t display

        Because the backslash is an escape character:

        1. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -> ¯_(ツ)_/¯
        2. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ -> ¯\(ツ)
        3. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ -> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Explanation:

        1. the backslash is used to escape the underscore.
        2. the first backslash escapes the second backslash, so it’s shown as a backslash. The pair of underscores is used to display the characters between in italics
        3. both the backslash and the first underscore are escaped, everything finally works

        I am not 100% sure but I think it some formatting thing where you need to put 2 of them for it to display like this:

        ¯ \(ツ)

        EDIT: I can confirm that is the case.
