    Is that girl saying "🡵" to that guy? The other way around I could imagine some NSFW meaning.

    🡵 = 0x01F975, Wide-headed North East Medium Barb Arrow

    The -500% is quite scary. Think about how many people had a chance to see and correct that before it was published, and yet none of them had even the most basic understanding of maths.

    I thought the mispronunciation of "Euler" in The Imitation Game was bad but this is probably worse.

    U+1FA75 is "LIGHT BLUE HEART". The user probably doesn't have a font installed for that range of emojis, so the browser fell back to a box with the codepoint.

    I thought the mispronunciation of "Euler" in The Imitation Game was bad but this is probably worse.

    Did they pronounce it "Yooler" or "Oyler"? (As I rather dimly(1) recall it from maths classes at university, it's supposed to be "Oyler"(2), but ...)

    (1) Well, duh, it was nearly forty years ago.

    (2) The pronunciation guide at the beginning of the Unreliable Source's page on Leonhard Euler says that my recollection is correct.

    Wouldn't going down by -500% be the same as going up by +500%? That sounds like a good thing. 😜

    Euro was getting stronger after the US basically over a couple of day completely destroyed most of their soft power capabilities, put their world currency status in serious doubt and cannot stop with the only power in the world that can literally economically destroy it because it holds the largest amount of US bonds.

    That said, it ain't that bad to tank the NZ dollars to zero, and I'm not sure how tight NZ is to the US economically compared to the rest of world :-)

    If a stock could fall -500%, it's trade value would literally become negative. Since now we're in a totally imaginary nonsensical world, that means that when buying the stock at a negative price, the exchange should give me money. No problem, I'll just "buy" all of it, and then hold it long term till it becomes positive again!

    You got it all wrong, it's an imperial percentage. What does that mean? I don't know, I haven't played Dungeons & Dragons in a while :-)
