If you want to be able to trim off the ends, I suggest a double fisherman's instead (aka the double overhand stopper) with both strands (hold them together while you tie and treat them as a single strand).

With either knot, after you trim, you can melt the ends of the elastic cord. It will "mushroom" a bit, which will also prevent the tips from creeping into the knot and coming loose.

A flat overhand bend in the elastic cord is what I recommend: https://www.animatedknots.com/flat-overhand-bend-knot

Justification:
Simple, not bulky, reasonably secure against shaking loose, and relatively easy to untie.

As suggested in another comment, a double figure eight could be used as well. It will be more bulky and a bit less likely to come loose.

Of all the fork shapes, the table fork seems the least useful for its named purpose.

If you're using Sync there's an option called "filter user". Post dot menu / filter / user.

I can only speak to my own experience, but maybe?
Also, I lied about being American and participated in this thread anyways.

Not exactly what you asked for but Joplin files are markdown. The app itself (very cross platform) renders them in a nice format. https://joplinapp.org/

That would be a highly specific casual conversation!

Aaron created RSS, and was an early developer of Reddit. A visionary of accessible information and information technology.

Since his death, the direction the internet has gone has been in ways that he would very much be taking issue with.

You are correct, I had not noticed they did away with that icon until you mentioned it now.
