Erwin Schrรถdinger's head explodes

But would it have exploded if you hadnโ€™t been observing it?

Now I wonder if cats prefer nested boxes to normal ones!

Though yours looks a little overwhelmed by the intensity of the boxes.

I like how cat doesn't know what cat's doing either...

Mathematically 1 cat / box / box = 1 cat

Notice the direction of that backslash. What they were trying to do was ๐Ÿˆ^๐Ÿ“ฆ^ on the power of ๐Ÿ“ฆ, but I guess this formatting code doesn't apply to titles.

EDIT: ...or lemmy comments. Testing: (๐Ÿˆ^๐Ÿ“ฆ^)^๐Ÿ“ฆ^ - nevermind. So they tried to escape the exponential symbol with a backspace, but there was no need for it in lemmy, since it's coded differently here.
