What does the less than sign mean on Facebook?
If someone types: sleep <
It means sleep is less than everything. Normally the less than
signs institutes a comparison such as: sleep < food. However the
new internet trend is to just put a word like sleep and then the
less than sign. As stated, this means that sleep is less than
everything. So the ambiguous blankness after the less than sign
represents "everything." Why people can't just write the word
everything is unbeknownst to me...
People also use the greater than signs which work the same as
the less than signs.
ie: sleep >
Which means sleep is greater than everything.
It really is all quite pointless, but it is just another
internet trend.
