- throawayonthe 9mo agonot sure if you're joking but it's an emoticon: =3 look at it like a sideways face of a cartoon cat, with 3 being the mouth shape so their actual sentence ends at the period
- nkrisc 9mo agoOk, I see it now. I thought the period was a typo and they were trying to write some sort of expression. I still don’t understand why the emoticon is there or its purpose but whatever.
- Joel_Mckay 9mo ago[censored] Cheers =3

- nkrisc 9mo agoI don’t have autism, but thanks. Ending a (every, apparently) comment with “=3” is not normal so I mistook its meaning.
- magicalhippo 9mo agoApparently there's a lot of dogs[1] that like to pretend they're cats. I just roll with it. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_you're_a_dog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_...
- nkrisc 9mo agoYep, there’s always a new kind of weird to discover online.
- Joel_Mckay 9mo agoDon't worry about it... =3

- magicalhippo 9mo ago=3 is a cat face[1] smiley, the period preceding it ends the sentence. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emoticons
