Little Johnny was a scientist pessimist

Little Johnny is no more

For what he thought was H2O

Was H2SO4

edit: I love markdown, but I hate how it handles line breaks.

    Add 2 spaces at the end of your line then enter to the line below for a normal next line
    Like this
    Proof, y'all

    You can also just put a \ at the end of a line
    Then continue on below
    But I think I like your method better tbh

    I wondered whether escaping would work, but not enough to test it.

    I actually like the escaping method better because

    • My time spent with git has resulted in me seeing lots of editors argue about whether whitespace at the end of a line is acceptable, but I prefer to do without
    • I post almost exclusively from my mobile device, so two spaces create a full stop where I don't want one
    • I'm accustomed to escaping newlines from my shell scripting experience, so it looks right to me
    • It reminds me of xkcd, which I have frequently enjoyed

    Regardless of which method any of us use, thank you for the information!
