      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 H2O
      was H2SO4

        >  was H~2~SO~4~
        

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

              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).

      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.

      Doubt you’d die from drinking a bit of sulphuric acid, probably would spit it out as soon as you notice your tongue is burning anyway.

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