life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    I just did earlier in a chat thread. I was talking about how a thing didn't work if you used an (at sign)

    Iono maybe you're taking about the main character in nethack.

    Does a post work if you put a period after it, like so? @.

    EDIT: Yes it does.

    This is such an edge case that I don't know if it's worth bringing up. I will happily punch anyone who abuses it in the junk however.

    I realised looking back on this that I phrased this very poorly. I mean that it isn't worth me bringing it up to Vanilla, not that it wasn't worth you bringing it up. That's always worthwhile. @Aioua I apologise for my rudeness.

    Oh, no problem. That's what I figured you meant.
