Unsure if.... fuck it I'll just blow it open.

The context is that log~e~ has a shortcut called "ln", that is L N, said lawn, for "natural logarithm" (but in... Latin probably?)

And so the joke is that "ln" looks like "in" in this context.

Yes I know the joke. I was just pointing out that the "I" in "in" seems to be capitolized for no reason.

...it's not a capital "i", it's a lowercase L. Thus the joke; it's "I'm LN" instead of the usual "I'm in".

Yes I know the joke. It's an "I" in the subtitles I've watched the show twice over.

Maybe they're going by Emily Dickenson capitalization rules.

It appears you do not, in fact, get the joke.
