Little Johnny took a drink but now will drink no more

For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

Neat, I've never seen that version before. The one I know is:

Johnny was a chemist's son
but Johnny is no more.
What Johnny thought was H2O
was H2SO4.

Fun fact: unlike some other site that shall not be named, Lemmy's markdown can do subscripts!

Little Johnny took a drink
but now will drink no more
For what he thought was H~2~O
was H~2~SO~4~

Really? It's the squiggly to make subscript? I thought that was used for strike through?

Two squiggles for ~~strikethrough~~; one squiggle for ~subscript~; and no squiggle for you!

Strikethrough is ~~double-tilde~~ double-squiggly.

where's the reference for these?

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I don't think it's complete, though; some you just have to discover for yourself (or guess from familiarity with Markdown on other platforms).

ah , seems my client has some helpful shortcuts

cool ~stuff.~

Strong acids are weak, you'd notice the boiling acid flavor and spit it out with the rest of your mouth lining right away.
