  • Damn

  • If you're a pacifist, the most useful one is the lie-detecting tool.

  • Don't forget the Donald Duck dick pic from John Oliver's Last Week Tonight that gets brought up with every duck story (last time with the Reflecting Pool).

  • The "adult for comparison" (light blue) seems quite different in each, even for 1960s hand-drawn diagrams (see source attribution; they would use transparencies, grid paper or pencil guides). Maybe vector "compression" (keeping only every 𝑛ᵗʰ vertex, perhaps fitting path in between to best resemble original) took place? I do that with potraced paths often but always check how the result looks.

  • As a Czech, you already know that but the brief democratic Czecho—Slovak Federation (1989-1992) also had a "Hyphen war" (actually just an argument) where Slovakia was not content with the longest dash available and wanted an "and" in the middle, breaking grammatical rules. Greater disagreements later resulted in the countries' peaceful dissolution on New Year's Eve 1992.

    But the languages are different enough to be distinct despite being largely mutually understandable (you can use Slovak in Czech courts to this day). This means there is no embarrassing doubling or tripling of legally required text like with Slovenian & Not Slovenian & Legally Distinct Not Slovenian.

  • dedicated

    The same way you'd say "dedicated heroin user". It's addicting.

    Speaking of which, I don't think you can take any drugs to make that holiday special make sense. It's like if Darth Vader had a change of heart and summoned a Life Day dinner for the Wookie family. (That video is not the most out-of-place, but certainly the most ":3" scene)

  • I found a piece of shit Czechoslovak TV program on YouTube and wanted to link to this comment to point the German uploader who took great lengths to subtitle it to other bizarre stuff, and I needed to edit it a bit. I'll upload a video with a bit of the Arabella Holiday Special soon, it's worse than the Star Wars one at times...

  • It's not Mézga Csálad, too early for that. Also, all of them have human main characters and no talking pigs AFAIK (although some Bolki i Lolki episodes do feature cops).

  • pig in the hat

    That might be a specific cartoon but how could I know? The rabbit hole goes deeper but I'm not Hungarian.

  • At least you have an undeniable excuse why you can't take calls and take 15-30 minutes to respond to texts.

  • I'm surprised they didn't go online-only. Scholars of Economics also tend to have internet connection.

  • At least he temporarily lost some money and pride by wrecking his stupid uninsured penis compensator.

  • There are no Teams servers on Mars and the client will time out before radio signals can reach Earth. So any copies of Microsoft Teams on Mars are just a waste of storage space, and not very terrifying compared to "actual" malware that could be in the same storage space.

  • Don't give him what he says his life goal is (die on Mars). It would be way more terrific if he died in a supercar crash (like the one he had in 2000 with Peter Thiel as passenger in a $1M McLaren F1, the fastest production car back then).

  • The proverb is older than me, it predates plumbing.

  • We Czechs say "The jug gets used to bring water over and over till the handle falls off." More obvious.

  • Better than a headline leaving out the important bits

    I wonder what that means /s
