well, thanks a lot again wikipedia. it turns out the Tilde
(~)
is pretty f-ing horrible, so f-ing horrible i won't even use the word fuck to describe it, it is too fucked, or f-ed whatever. according to Tilde Tim's guide to timeless Tildes the tilde is what inspired hitler to launch WWII. it turns out he wanted to conquer the whole world just to put the tilde everywhere. he thought they would make good watch hands
which they did, until after he invaded czechoslovakia and showed up drunk at 12:15am, thinking it was 3pm. that was the downfall of hitler. not betraying his allies. it was that in all his brilliancy, he forgot to lengthen one arm of the Tilde-clock to denote hours from minutes, and got wasted and spaced that whole am-pm thing. so the next time you think about using your tilde, just remember who died for it, and what it stands for: children and drunk nazi's.
