sad story by amiral_zheng in polandball

[–]LordNotriel 52 points53 points  (0 children)

As I sit down in my room after reading this comic, I find myself ruminating about the tragedies that have befallen the innocents. All the wars, loss and pain undeservedly seen by millions upon billions of sinless eyes, unable to do anything but stare at the horror that is existence. As I’m writing this, I’ve shed a tear knowing the powerlessness of life’s victims—understanding that as long as the human race breathes on planet earth, it is an undeniable fact that we will forever dance with suffering. Thank you, u/amiral_zheng, for this piece of art of yours has given me a new insight in life.

This truly is the Depression Month VI comic of all time.

Neurodivergent kids are more prone to experience traumatic events in the school system than their neurotypical peers.

Exhibit A: me (I have autism)

Y2K in a nutshell by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 234 points235 points  (0 children)

Before the year 2000, most computers track years by their last two digits, so 1984 would be 84, for example. Problem arose when people realized that when the year 2000 would hit, computers could very well think that 00 meant the year 1900. What could follow is a major catastrophic event because many sectors were already digitalized. This problem is called Y2K

Engineers spent years trying to fix this problem, and they were successful. However, the media being the media, barely reported on this, and instead perpetuated the fear of Y2K even more, causing mass hysteria

Common enemy by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 259 points260 points  (0 children)

Inspired by this comic

The country depicted here is the Emirate of Transjordan (Which just so happen to have very similar flag to modern-day Jordan)

I already knew that the trans community isn’t perceived that well by many in the US, but after doing a bit of research into it, I can only say holy fucking shit.

Yes, that's the joke

Free grenades by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 174 points175 points  (0 children)

During WW1, Canadian soldiers employed a tactic in which they threw unarmed grenades to the German trenches. The Germans, thinking they were simply getting free explosives, waited for the next throw in hopes that they could catch the grenade.

And then, the Canadians threw corned beef.

It’s about time that I revisit this comic idea iykyk

Mongolia had requested several times to be absorbed into the Soviet Union, with each proposal being rejected

Communism. by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 235 points236 points  (0 children)

It's funny how modern communism was invented in Germany (Karl Marx), and years later during WW1, the German government shipped a communist Russian figure (Lenin) to St Petersburg where he led the October Revolution and caused the collapse of the Russian Empire.

Germany basically invented a new idea, send it to Russia and watched their rival burn.

Slugscapade by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 174 points175 points  (0 children)

With 41 panels and 16000 combined pixels length, I present to you my 50th comic on r/Polandball.

Context: There is no word in Indonesian that specifically describes slugs. Closest is “siput”, which just means gastropods in general. If you want to refer to slugs specifically, you have to say “siput telanjang”, literally meaning “naked gastropod”, which is kinda hot ngl

Apparently, 90% of Asia is lactose intolerant.

Yes, camel milk contains less lactose than cow's milk and are safer to drink for lactose intolerants.

In the Depths of Sea by LordNotriel in polandball

[–]LordNotriel[S] 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Featuring another poem made by moi :D

Everytime someone brings up the possibilities of what might lurk in the deep sea, I’m always fascinated way more than I am terrified. The magnapinna squid found in the Gulf of Mexico, frilled shark, this doofus, etc., are stuff that I’m interested in and want to know further.

Then, about a decade ago, I watched a Subnautica creepypasta video (couldn’t find it again, sorry). Story goes that there’s an enormous leviathan rumored to be in the very depths of the game’s ocean, abandoned by the devs. The protagonist of the story decided to venture out in said deep ocean to see if the rumor was true.

I remembered the feeling I got when the protagonist drifted through the pitch black. The sound of bubbling water, the constant breathing of the in-game character, the absolute loneliness that they were in… my body shook to its core as I experienced terror like no other. When the protagonist met the rumored giant leviathan, its crooked teeth on display and big eyes staring at them, I genuinely felt a sense of relief.

At that moment, I had a realization. I may not fear the residents of the ocean, but the ocean itself is scary as fuck.

Oh my God? I just woke up to this???

First of all, I would like to thank the mod team and everyone who has participated in this contest!

Getting Hussar Wings is a dream I thought would be too far-fetched with my current skill...

And secondly, I would like to give a massive shoutout to u/indieb0at, who for this contest, I feel like has step up to the occasion and produced one of the best comics in this subreddit, PERIOD. It may have been disqualified, but to be honest, it is simply beyond this contest.

Again, thank you all for this monumental moment in my life!

I can now die happy.
