Put phone down on wireless charger. Charging notification lights up. Go to sleep. Wake up. Check phone. Is at 2%. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Fucking. Wireless. Chargers.
Pssst
got something for ya:
\
You know, I think it's something with the formatting here where it makes the slash disappear. Not sure what syntax I'd need to use to make the whole thing appear properly.
It's a markdown dialect, \ is the escape char, so you need to escape it :)
Same as r*ddit in that regard.

Except double slashes makes the underscores disappear.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So... it looks like adding a slash before the slash and before each underscore does the trick. Thanks!
Markdown uses underscores for italic, which is why they also need to be escaped with backslashes.
Although I know this, I cannot remember where I need to escape. So I just have two custom autocorrections:

Only need the 3 slashes on the right arm, like so:
Technically correct, but back, when Reddit allowed 3rd party apps, I did get the occasional "Hey you lost something" comment, as some apps had a broken markdown rendered that wouldn't display it without.
Also it can have side effects if you use an underscore in the same paragraph or use it twice in a row, as it then suddenly can render as italic.
