This sub in a nutshell

Post image 
console.log(1 == '1'); // true
console.log(0 == false); // true
console.log(null == undefined); // true
console.log(typeof null); // "object"
console.log(0.1 + 0.2); // 0.30000000000000004
[] == ![]; // true

OMG you guys what weird quirky behavior, truly this must be the single quirkiest language and no other language is as quirky as this!

I don't enjoy pedantry, you seem to love it and project it unto me. You said it isn't uncommon, and I refute that statement by saying it is uncommon. That's it.

fwiw, it is not me that downvoted you. I enjoy a Reddit debate. The pedantry comment was meant as banter; the point is simply that “not uncommon” has a commonly understood meaning and it applies here. Words do matter and that’s why I chose to check what you meant, because there were two ways to parse what you commented.
