>>9128784
That was a really spicy opinion. You know what to do now.

>>9128778
Hmm maybe.

>>9128798
It's a fucking blue board. Children act like cunts on blue boards to make it seem (to themselves, but noone else) that they know SO FUCKING MUCH about the topic at hand that it's LAUGHABLE that some pleb would even DARE to ask a question. That's why /g/, /biz/, /an/, etc. are all cancerous tumors of ignorance and aggression.

>>9128803
ok. ok. wow. just... ok. clearly you have a lot of insecurities that are causing you to act like a gigantic fucking child. go fuck yourself faggot

>>9128767
google "subset"

A⊆B

>>9128767
>What other options are there that would be almost immediately recognizable as meaning "This is a member of the group that came before it, and that one belongs to the group that came before it." etc.?

How about just saying exactly that?

>>9128844
It's not obvious what that means.

>>9128850
Because it's for text, not speech.

>>9128851
All typographical symbols are arbitrary. What do you want, a symbol that zaps into your brain and tells you what it means by itself?

>>9128854
OK, "why not just write exactly that?" smartass.

>>9128767
∈
set theory notation for "is an element/member of"

>>9128868
Because I don't feel like writing "Houseplant, now this next object is a houseplant: Orchid, and this one is an Orchid: Moth Orchid" What are you, dense?

>>9128880
Already said, but it's not obvious what that symbol means to someone who doesn't know what it is. I'm leaning towards just arrows.

>>9128864
No they're not. You're just a sub-intellectual pleb trying to sound enlightened by pretending everything is homogenized. The meaning of a section symbol is far less natural than the meaning of an arrow.

>>9128887
>I want something that's obvious, but I don't want to just write it out so that it's obvious

Please leave.

>>9128900
>I'm stupid
Please vasectomy.

>>9128896
how is the meaning of an arrow natural?

>>9128915
Even animals point, retard. GET OUT. Now watch and see how many people figure out what the fuck a square root symbol means before they've been taught what the fuck it is.

>>9128909
The obvious to the reader solution is to just write it out, the pseud solution is to find some esoteric symbol to show how "smart" you are (but not so smart that you know the symbol before having to ask 4chan).

>>9128767
how about "{" as in "plant { orchid"?

the bracket suggests a list of items falling under the left term, of which the right term is one

>>9128930
what does the shape of an arrow have to do with pointing?

>>9128931
Listen moron. It's a space-saving measure. My god you're retarded. You literally couldn't figure that out on your own? You don't write out a disclaimer about your severe mental disability in every post, so even you grasp the purpose of brevity (that means less words).

buncha plebs using punctuation

>>9128930
And arrow implies direction. "The house plant goes to the orchid."

>>9128767
"The houseplant, which is an orchid, specifically a moth orchid..."

Although that is a bit redundant. Why not just call a moth orchid a moth orchid? Everyone knows it's an domesticated orchid, which is a "houseplant"

>>9128933
alternatively,

houseplant(orchid(moth orchid))

>>9128938
>Listen moron. It's a space-saving measure
What space do you need to save?
