Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 3, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

@ZorbaTHut, I think the Markdown Machine broke.

Using a single is causing text to be struck through.

For example-

0 and 1 are not probabilities, 0 and ~1 are

(if this doesn't work, I'll link to the last comment where it broke for me)

The markdown parser honestly sort of sucks :/ We've had "improve it" on the list for a while, but it's a long list.

I think what happened is the single tilde matches with the tilde before the 0, but instead of strikethroughing the whole block it only goes to the end of the line
