Happy Anniversary. This is the original post. On this day in 2011 I was doing a charity drive for the natural disasters in Tōhoku and drew this. A few hours later I turned it into a gif and posted it here.

Here’s the original doodle before I drew it into a GIF

This is like a commercial for the dangers of teaching kids physics

When people say boys will be boys I wish this was the sort of thing they meant.

Okay but props to them actually stopping and trying to slow the spin to save their friend and not just letting him fling off into space

Okay that’s gotta be at least like 3G?

That would do brain damage even if he DIDN’T bump his head afterwards.

I did some *very* rough measurements with a stop watch, and it’s possible his head was experiencing nearly 7.5Gs from centripetal acceleration alone, which, to say the least, is bad. While it’s a little funky because he is bent over at the midsection and not experiencing uniform force throughout, his torso and head are being accelerated “upwards” relative to his body, which the survivability limit is usually placed at 5Gs. Now to be fair, those studies usually are by/for NASA or other space agencies, and are concerned with longer exposure, however at the very least I’d expect spine problems and potentially hypoxia as the blood gets forced from his head. I’d have to do more looking into actual literature on a 7G upwards acceleration to say for sure how bad it is, but it is not good.

typicky to je provázené tím, že když si někdo v místnosti zapomene říct šulc/udělat gesto/whatever, tak kdo je nejrychlejší je může plácnout po čele. tato hra je, přirozeně, populární mezi nižším gymplem.

Us, arriving to Austria to a tiny family hotel owned by an elderly lady

Us: speak only limited German

Lady: barely speaks English

Us:

Lady:

Lady: Czech? Slovak?

Us: Czech

Lady, to herself: Czech, that's a Slavic language right

Lady: understand Yugoslavian?

Us:

Us: yeah that works

Shit like this can really only happen in Europe. Reminds me of the time I took my best shot at ordering at a restaurant in Spain in spanish. The closest language to spanish that I actually speak is latin.

Waiter: Germany?

Me: No, Czechia.

Waiter, in a heavily accented but intelligible Czech: Why didn’t you say so before! We get you guys here all the time!

Já v roce 2019 na Ukrajině: OK, takže když použiju tohle staročeský slovo, přidám polský sloveso, své chabé znalosti záhoráčtiny a řeknu to s ruskym přízvukem, tak to projde.

[Me in 2019 in Ukraine: ok so if i use this Old Czech word, add a Polish verb, my poor knowledge of the Záhorie dialect of Slovak and say it with a Russian accent, it might pass]

Reminds me of the time when we were in Poland and I tried to order a burger using a truly unholy mix of Slovak, Russian and Ostrava dialect (which in itself is like an unholy mix of Czech and Polish).

I did get the burger

[#my grandpa called this "Slavic Esperanto"]

I know Ukrainians who can do this on purpose and masterfully, and it was mind-blowing to hear a speech as immediately understandable to an audience of native speakers of three different native Slavic languages, not just two languages as is common

During one student exchange I (a Pole) got acquainted with two students from Czechia and Russia. At first we talked in English or German, but after a while we’ve noticed, that we could understand each other’s native languages just fine. And if some word was unknown in one language, another one had the right synonym.

*Each of us talking in their mother tongue*

Me: Bla bla bla.

Russian: I don’t know this “bla”.

Czech: Oh, we have “bla”! We also call it “that”!

Russian: Oh I know “that”! It’s a very old version of “this”.

Me: Oh, we have “this” too, but it means something slightly different.

German acquaintance: Was für nen Scheiß zieht ihr da ab? o_O

the reason there aren't slavic people in the bible is that they wouldn't have been surprised or awed to hear the disciples speak in tongues and be understood by people of many nations at once

Slavs walked away from the Tower of Babel mildly inconvenienced.

On the other hand sometimes you get this bizarre situation where you have a workplace with employees who are Czechs, Slovaks, Ukrainians and Russians, all communicating in their own native language with no issue, and then we get a Polish customer who doesn't understand us at all because our employee-customer interaction requires exactly the words that are not similar between our languages

Czechia mentioned!
