@DarkestKale @HauntedOwlbear What kind of train? Steam? Electric? Camel?

Pythagoras, the greatest mathematician of Ancient Greece, learned Pythagoras' theorem from the locals while travelling in Egypt, where they had been using it for thousands of years.

Fibonacci, the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages, learned the Fibonacci sequence from Indian texts, where it had first been described 1400 years earlier.

Pascal's triangle originated in Persia more than half a millenium before Blaise Pascal was born - in related news, the first known combinatorics solution came even earlier from THE SAME INDIAN GUY who came up with the "Fibonacci" sequence - Pingala, who was also arguably the first person to specifically refer to zero as a number, along with all sorts of other amazing shit, and who I had never heard of until today because my entire education system deemed him too brown to valorise.

It's hard to even imagine how better educated we'd all be without the pernicious brain rot of white supremacism.

@DarkestKale @HauntedOwlbear Here's a fun Silvia Saint fact: We seem to know very little about sex or masturbation in space. If the various space agencies have done studies, then they're not telling. So perhaps the closest thing we have to a documented experiment is Silvia Saint and Nick Lang having penetrative sex in freefall on a Russian parabolic flight, for The Uranus Experiment:Part Two.

@HauntedOwlbear @DarkestKale That was my late teens/early twenties, so I may have an exaggerated view of her impact 😅 but yeah, what the hell?

Does anyone happen to know where that little >| tab symbol comes from in Godot's editor?

It doesn't seem to be any of the normal tab-representing unicode characters, U+2409 (␉), U+21E5 (⇥), or U+2B72 (⭲) and I've pored through the JetBrains Mono character map with no luck.

At this point I'm guessing that it doesn't come from the font at all.

Can anyone please help with this? I'm trying to make some documentation with code that looks as much like it would in the Godot editor as possible.

Thanks in advance!
