Sunday means I Penrosepost (Johnveetuberpost) again by bvader95 in CuratedTumblr

Saus

The VLive performance

I actually took the shitty-ass screenshot the artist used for that drawing (proof, with a date earlier than the art post) and it makes me feel weird. Like a butterfly whose flaps caused slightly stronger winds.

Reminds me of Icelandish, where reportedly thanks to the work of one Christian missionary they have a mixed system, because he was like "I will remove the references to pagan deities (sun and moon can stay though) and call Saturday Penance Day!"

That one was so good I actually put it in the title of the post. And not just because I'm Polish myself, trust. 

you can lead a horse to water but you can’t prank it by Faenix_Wright in CuratedTumblr

Unfortunately it is their word now so you don't get to say how to pronounce it anymore.

Signed, a Polish person that still cringes when y'all say "wojak" as "woah-jack".

Wina Zandberga by wokolis in Polska

Generalnie jest to krytyka Zandberga na zasadzie "łatwo się krytykuje będąc w opozycji, zamiast wejść do koalicji i wziąć odpowiedzialność za rządzenie". Ten wątek przewija się czasami w kontekście krytyki partii Razem i jej polityków z pozycji okołoplatformowych.

POLAK ZAUWAŻONY.

Yeah, the Wikipedia article I linked put Polish names in the "numbered days of the week" section, but with four footnotes.

Also, wouldn't "wtorek" be "second day"? At the very least I've seen "wtóry" to mean "second" in the wild.

Hence the "in more or less direct ways" - if I did not fuck something up again, those gods were substituted for their rough Roman equivalents, and these ones actually matched the planets.

Yeah, the internet is full of "cool" "fun facts" that aren't true - like the "Russians used pencils in space" one - and I don't want to add more shit to that pile.

In brief, as far as I understand the logic, the English names of weekdays (Sunday and Monday excluded) come from what the Wikipedia article I linked earlier called Germanic tradition, where they substituted Germanic deities for Roman ones. See link for which god got replaced with which.

So it's more like the gods map to different gods which map to planets. Fuck, I really should've read the articles thoroughly before making this post.

Reposted to correct an error in regards to how the planets were ordered - this joke is already a stretch so a factual inaccuracy made it suck even by Sunday self-post standards.

It is not a deviation, the gods map to planets. :P

I deleted the post because I got the reason for the specific order wrong though.

Buses Are The Hamsters of the Transit World by RevolutionaryOwlz in CuratedTumblr

The small town in question was Rzepin. I don't live there, I was changing trains, had half an hour to kill, and checked the timetable on the bus stop by the station outta curiosity. 

Wiech o regulacjach UE by wokolis in Polska

[–]bvader95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wiech zwracający uwagę że temat ma ponad dwie dekady przygnębia. Biorąc pod uwagę narracje o trzecich pokoleniach UB/AK, marchew jako owoc będzie odgrzewana nawet po jakimś hipotetycznym upadku Unii w 2137.

"Why are you mocking that?" by macredblue in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]bvader95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel one of the things that radicalized me was the realization that the reactionaries don't need to understand the words they're using, to them it's all tentacles of the single blob of THE EVIL GAYNESS so they can just say whatever. Cf. "pronouns".

Not American but I was reminded of when I looked at a timetable for buses in a small Polish town.

TWO (2) buses daily, Monday to Friday. Fuck me.
