Please do not use code formatting for quotes. It creates a terribly long unbroken side-scrollable box.

> The Institute’s results also demonstrate the exceptional strength of Model 3’s all-glass roof, which is supported by a very strong metal body structure and helps protect occupants in roll-over crashes. During testing, the car’s roof was able to successfully resist more than 20,000 pounds of force – that’s more than if we placed five Model 3s on top of the car’s roof at once. And, the roof earned a higher strength-to-weight ratio score than any other fully electric vehicle that IIHS has ever tested.

upvoting you for this. I thought it would break it into a block, and was wrong.

Wow, and seeing how the post appeared after submitting didn't convince you otherwise?

What’s with the attitude? He said he was wrong and the child comment fixed the issue. No need to castigate him.

Just surprised how people are able to miss this.

SEJeff in particular has been a member since 2012 and has 7500 karma, and somehow never saw a post that looked unreadable because of blockquote, including his own.

I hope your mood improves soon. No one should have to be as bitter as you are right now.

I don't mean this in jest, I really do hope that you find some peace.

Well when I looked at it a bit later, I was unable to edit the original comment. Kind of makes the point moot don't you think?

Of all of the hills to die on, you picked a pretty lousy one. Excuse me for casually browsing HN between doing actual real work. I guess not all of us can do HN fulltime.

Internet comments are usually fire-and-forget.

Especially on HN, which does a poor job of letting you know that someone has replied to your comment.

FWIW, someone made a tool that emails you if your comment gets a reply.

That’s neat, thanks! I usually just refresh once an hour or so.

Can you PLEASE go fuck yourself?

Ouch, please don't post like this to HN. We ban accounts that do it, because we're trying for something different here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Could you please read those guidelines and use HN as intended? We'd be grateful.

This site is absolutely littered with that formatting. It needs to be changed to [yesiampostingcode][/yesiampostingcode] or something like that.

It's not like browsing the internet on a phone is a new concept any more. Little ridiculous how nothing has been done about its frequent use.

Wondering will I ever see the day this gets fixed. Shouldn’t take more than an hour?

This is hilarious to me, how this site is so badly laid out and has so many rendering bugs.
Re:Tesla earns its first-ever safety award from IIHS for Mod... by Sohcahtoa82 on Thursday September 19, 2019 @07:38PM (#21021832)
It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Prepending 4 spaces is intended to be used for posting source code, where automatic line wrapping is undesirable.

Re:Tesla earns its first-ever safety award from IIHS for Mod... by MrBuddyCasino on Saturday September 21, 2019 @09:35AM (#21035288)
I mean you could just render it differently on mobile, or at least not with such a tiny bounding box. Its not impossible.

Note: on HN, just two spaces marks off code.
