flimsy are you drunk or something

anyways if you want to be dumb about it you should probably make some more specific rules, because I followed every one you stipulated (use 3 lines)

I can't do much better though, admittedly

How do the last item in the second row and the first item in the fifth differ? Is it just that the first one is evenly spaced and the other isn't or what

I suppose it's really a question of how far the concept of a picture extends. That is, most people outside of ZZT probably wouldn't accept the three horizontal lines for a passage. Unless it has a meaning in mathematics, like a kind of equals sign? If it does I can't remember

EDIT:

Wikipedia wrote:The symbol [three horizontal lines] is often used to indicate an identity, or a congruence relation in modular arithmetic.

A bit obscure but I suppose it still counts

madtom if it's an ascii char it's there for a reason.

I had no idea what the fuck a torch was

and back when i first found zzt i didn't know there were symbols for Less Than or equal to/Greater than or equal to

I have to wonder how they decided to arrange the things though since A is char 65.

The first one is an asterisk, the other one is a russian letter. The first one should be smaller, really.
