Three, actually. The backslash disappears because it's used up to cancel the undescores (italics in markdown). By doubling it, you no longer escape the italics so the backslash is visible, but the arms and face end up looking like this: ¯\(ツ)/¯.
I was thinking about this earlier, it might just be me but I always thought the new generation of slang was just kind of lame. Of course I'm biased but like it just seems like there's not that much variety. It's just like the 14 or so different phrases they keep saying. Branch out my dudes
The meaning of Ohio as a slang term has resulted in me being able to say "I'm leaving Ohio because it's gotten too Ohio for me", which I find delightful
I am somehow one step removed as XD feels young to me 8-)

As I suspected, language has evolved to the point where Ohio is considered a synonym for toilet.

The meaning of Ohio as a slang term has resulted in me being able to say "I'm leaving Ohio because it's gotten too Ohio for me", which I find delightful

I was on BBS, Compuserve, and eventually AoL and others. I forget when I first saw it, but it felt later to me. It's possible it just wasn't popular when and where I was around and that meant I didn't see it until much later, but I don't remember it. I remember being confused the first time I saw it, wondering what it might stand for.
