"ln(x)" is another way of writing log sub e of x https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

The "ln" of the "you son of a bitch. I'm ln" is referencing that identity

ln(x) (I believe abbreviated from the french logarithme naturel) is the same as the logarithm of x base e (log~e~(y))

Edit: ~subscript~ doesn't seem to work for me on Jerboa but I'm keeping it as it is

It's also called logarithme népérien, for Jonh Napier, mathematician who discovered a lot of the properties of the logarithmic function.

Checking if ~thunder~ can subscript...

Edit: Nope, it can't...

Pretty sure that superscript is using ^circumflex^

Huh you are right. It only works on the web frontend, not on the mobile apps.
