      If I had a nickel for every time I saw an interrobang today I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice right?

      Looks like a misshapen question mark to me. Looking at the "f"s it seems like the ink is bleeding/smudging in parts

      I kind of thought the opposite. I had assumed it was actually just an older thing but fell out of fashion, but apparently it was “invented” in the 60s which surprises me

        Not on Typewriters until 1968 but this article was published on October 16, 1918.

          what would have stopped you from typing an exclamation point, cycling back one character, and then adding a question mark‽

      I think this attitude did more bad than good. It caused people to concentrate on pandemic death numbers and even conclude covid is not worse than flu (even though death rate was 10 times higher than of flu).

      What covid did though, besides killing some people it fucked health for a much larger number of people that survived it.

        Regarding the ‘attitude’, you could be right. And this IS m/Internetfuneral, so…
        The one sliver of silver lining I see with post-covid syndromes is that it’s opened the discussion about other well recognized but generally ignored post viral syndromes. “Had the flu, now I have this cough that’s been persisting for a month.”, etc. There’s serious talk now in the scientific community about Chronic Fatigue/ Chronic Myalgic Encephalopathy having a viral, or rather post viral origin. Science and understanding move forward, but the pace varies.

      Getting over COVID (negative test but need a second one to be fully cleared) and the CDC says I can go out to the grocery store and all that but I need to wear a mask.

      Nobody cares.

      Also it’s winter. Last year when I would get random colds or coughs I’d throw one on and still nobody cares.

      I was in a train with a mask because I was sick. But I wasnt even caughing. Its crazy how people just left 4 seets for me anyways, only another sick (!!) person sat down next to me.

      Like wtf? Maybe I am just in a risk group? Or dont want to get sick?

      That was btw the horrible sickness I have from my last train ride
