[Why is THIS the power symbol? [LGR Retrospective]] (Viewer #351,484)
What really blows my mind is that there’s some shadowy, Bilderbergian conspiracy to inflict internationally understandable hieroglyphics on us and replace English language labels.
After all, a few English letters are also just symbols. And I can’t say that they’re any harder to learn after a little exposure and practice.
What do these symbols mean?

Close, Oppo.
But, of course, there are alternatives:
(◣_◢) “I’m NOT happy to see you!” – or – “Your brassier has pointy things in it.”
• ═╗ “Musket to the junk” – or – “I just shot my load.” (Could also mean “Call the plumber!”)
⌐ΘvΘ¬ “I’m old and blind as a bat.” – or – “You’re so ugly I’m squinting!”
┌∩┐ ” **** off!” – or – “What’s that bump in your pants, ma’am?”
(I like yours better, however.)
I’m probably the only one who thought that power symbol had something to do with wheelchairs, the first time I saw it years ago.
The first time I saw it, I thought if a zero means off and a one means on, this looks like a one superimposed on a zero, and must mean “ON.”
