@neauoire IIRC you could do animations this way too. The way strings rendered on screen with backspace and rewrite meant you could save a string that appeared animated when viewed.

@neauoire
that's also how you type diacritics on a typewriter, though i think it was backspace, not shift+space, to move back one character.

ą=a,
ć=c'
ł=l/

@neauoire
Neat!

@neauoire zero-width joiner before it was cool

@neauoire This takes me back in time.
