Remember that scene at the beginning of It’s a Wonderful Life, where people are all desperately trying to get into the bank because if it fails before they get in, they lose their money? That’s what the FDIC prevents.

    They did paste it correctly but in Markdown, you have to type three. The first one escapes the second, and the third one escapes the underscore and prevents the pair from becoming an italics flag.

    1: ¯_(ツ)_/¯
    2: ¯\(ツ)
    3: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The examples above are slightly fake: the unescaped right underscores in lines 1 and 3 would mark the start and end of another italics segment, so I escaped them to imitate what happens in a comment with no underscores except this kaomoji.
