Basically people will call really visually pleasing things within a hobby porn. Like on some places online you can find food porn, which is simply really delicious looking food that's nicely presented( Yes it's kinda an edgy joke to call it porn).

But it's not made to be sexual and no one except maybe 0000000000.1% of people( I don't want to think about it) probably get turned on by it.

Anyway back to riceing DWM and st.

I think you meant to put that decimal a bit further left....

Sorry, yes: 0000000000.10000000000%

Thanks, it makes more sense now.

What? Its the same as .1%, or. 01? .00000000001 would be what you'd want no?

Yeah it was a joke.

I doubt it, looks like a mistake. It's ok to make mistakes, even when they are funny

It's a joke, but when exposing a number the number of left digits transmit the confidence you have in your number. 0.1 tells you that the "real" number is 0.1a, where 0 <= a < 5. 0.10000000000 is giving you a lot more information than 0.1

Very neat! Thank you for that little tidbit.

Surely you mean 0.0999999931082% ?
