It means approximately or about. It might mean something different because your on tumblr but in math it means approximately or about.

most people don't even use it for it's ~actual use~ lol see what I did there? it's kind of annoying but oh well. is that what you mean? because if so it's kind of just decoration i guess.

It's called Tilde and it is used to mean "approximately" or "about"
for example I could say "there were ~100 people at the party" and it means "there were about 100 people at the party" But I mainly know it because it opens the developer console in most video games. Especially games on steam or games using the Source Engine. |
