I don’t think I’ve used ^superscript^ or ~subscript~ on Lemmy. Kinda didn’t know they existed. And now I want an ~excuse~ to use them^…^ ^So^ ^I’m^ ^just^ ^going^ ^to^ ^make^ ^this^ ^comment…^
Edit: I’ve been on Lemmy for over two years. The “new user” icon makes me sad. RIP lemm.ee.
OP’s description of trying to pull the key out when it broke, makes me think the key may also be bound/frozen in the lock. I don’t think you’re supposed to use wet lubricants in a lock, but they may need to use a penetrating lubricant (like wd-40) along with the dental pick.
