It's a fact: "nothing" is written in stone.

how did you write that comment?

Writing implements used to make physical inscriptions include fingers, styluses, ink brushes, pencils, pens, and many styles of lithography; writing surfaces on which inscriptions may be made include stone tablets, clay tablets, bamboo slips, papyrus, wax tablets, vellum, parchment, paper, copperplate, and slate.

Yes.

Edit: I misread the comment I replied to as “But did you write that comment?” but it appears they said “How did you write that comment?”

I leave you with this, my final gift:

Handwritten sign above a credit card reader that apparently says “Penis broken, please use finger” It should say ‘Pen is’, but the space is too small to visually separate the letters into different words.

Darn. Technically right. My favorite kind of right

The "stone" with the words in it has a suspiciously uniform appearance. I wonder whether it might be concrete and the letters pressed into it while wet, in which case basically none of it is true.

It’s stone, not concrete. Likely sandblasted. They use silicone stencils that resist the abrasive particles. It’s how gravestones and other markers are made commonly.

Neat, thanks for explaining!

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Yes. Yes it is.

Probably. Every time it comes back around it's even more convoluted.

It looks like a video game puzzle where you have to spot the excruciatingly obvious "hidden" password.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 18 hours ago

So inspiring

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

Of course. It's the first line.

Real this is not a pipe energy

No, 'nothing' is definitely written on that stone.

Nothing's Carved in Stone is a Japanese rock band formed in January 2009. After Ellegarden decided to go into hiatus in 2008, the group's guitarist Shinichi Ubukata created Nothing's Carved in Stone as his solo project. Their debut album Parallel Lives was released on May 6, 2009, debuting at No. 11 on the Japanese Oricon weekly album charts.

Oh man I used to love Ellegarden. Is Nothing's Carved in Stone worth a look?

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

A grinder can easily remove that.

I'm gonna use that for a profile pic.

[–] aislopmukbang@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess it had to be carved?

I am sure someone more anal than me will give me the definition of writing.
