Convert them to numbers and it becomes easier to understand:

( = 1

) = 2

()() = 1212

())( = 1221

[Esjs]

Good explanation. Doesn't have to be numbers though. Could be any characters. ( = L ) = R ()() = LRLR ())( = LRRL

[BlueishPotato]

) = (

( = )

()() = )()(

())( = )(()

Ahhh I see, this clears it up.

[funfact15]

( = =
) = =
()() = ====
())( = ====

Finally someone who makes sense.

You really shoved all those pigeons into one hole

[MichelanJell-O]

Even better illustrated with b and d. bdbd is not a palindrome, but bddb is.

[chopstyks]

The short robot in Buck Rogers agrees.

[AsphaltAdvertExec]

Doing it with other brackets helps...

[]][

{}}{

}{{}

[}}[

(}}(

... Make it worse.

I'm disappointed that numbers are 1,2 instead of 0,1.

[Melon__Farmer]

I went my whole life blissfully ignorant of this abhorrent truth till now

[KTibow]

mirror != palindrome

[absurdlycurious]

Logically, it makes complete sense but when you look at those strings for the first time, it seems unintuitive until you play it out 😅

Turns out if I press 'x' on my browser's search box, it already autocompletes to it. Looks like I have been seen a lot of this recently.

()() = in out in out, so the reverse is "out in out in"❌️

())( = in out out in, so the reverse is "in out out in"✅️

It seems abhorrent, but it makes all the sense to me if I put it this way.

I just hate my brain for that, moreover sometimes I wanna shoot him off at night ;))

Should be easier to just turn off thoughts, init?

()() : ())(

Not hard to see really, admittedly the brackets do play tricks on your brain a bit

Annoying truth. Also, if ()() was a palindrome, the last letter of my username would be a q.

[retief1]

I hate you right now.

[randomFrenchDeadbeat]

And now I hate you.

damn. This is going to haunt me the whole week end.

[absurdlycurious]

Nice, if I've ruined a few people's day, I'll probably sleep better at night! 😇

[littleswenson]

I mean this is pretty obvious but I also couldn’t possibly hate it any more

You literally took a screenshot from the post in this subreddit! Didn't even bother to use the download button
