In numerical terms, this must be one of the biggest corrections ever made by a newspaper.

If you are unable to use superscripts I think you can write 10^57 instead. LaTeX just works nicely with $10^{57}$
I was just commenting generally on that, I still can't get LaTeX to work properly here, I am sure qoto supports MathJaX
Lets see if this works
\ce{$10^{57}$
@zleap Not for me, but I think it depends on both the mastodon instance you're on, and whether your browser/app can render LaTeX etc. Similar to Reddit, some subreddits can render it, others (mileycyrusmemes etc) have no need to.
Ah ok, I know my blog does, or does now that I have figured out how to enter LaTeX in to the markdown
@zleap If you look at the replies to my post you'll see somebody pointed out that my image alt-text has the same error, I pasted "10 superscript 57" in and it came out "1057" 😂
And yes, I generally default to "^", it's fairly foolproof.
