    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!

    The opposite. They're more likely to think that the drink of unknown provenance that they find in front of them might be sulphuric acid, and so they avoid drinking it, even if it was actually a perfectly safe beverage.

    Spend 8 to 10 hours a day for 4 to 6 days a week doing nothing but titrations, earning maybe $20 an hour, with no realistic opportunities for career advancement, for which you had to qualify by getting a 4 year degree and going 60k into debt, and you may consider it.

    Not something I've done, but I've known a fair bit of Chem and OChem majors.
