ATTN: The "* * *" used to separate sections of writing is called a "Dinkus"

May this news brighten your day.
Found while reading up on asterism (⁂) as an alternate symbol to describe the fediverse. Anyway, this sounds especially funny in English, because "Dingus" can mean a foolish person.

The asterism is such a great idea for the Fediverse logo imo. Just on the grounds that it's actually typeable compared to the hexagram thing that I also see around.
Perhaps I should start using these again. I used to but then decided to just use empty space as scene breaks. But there is something fun about having these "* * *" printed out.
