@sinnsenke couldn't leave this in the tags
see unfortunately I have this condition where if I am not explicitly told that I am a part of the ingroup then I will assume I must be part of the outgroup
I don't know whether or not this is true, but I'm reblogging this because we live in a world where the third search result when I tried researching the validity of this information was a link to an article about a weight loss product.
The second search result had included the slur "ob*se" in the title of the article.
There are seriously people who tell me fat people aren't oppressed. Meanwhile, trying to find information about how to keep a fat person from drying in a car crash is met with links to products that make dirty money off of how society views my body.
I immediately gave up trying to research this.
The tiktok is correct. Basically it's about arranging your belt so it there is an accident the pressure is in your strongest bones.
"Seatbelt should be across your hips rather than your stomach for everyone, but i think it's more common for fat people to wear seatbelts over the stomach
Pelvic bones are strong and sturdy, and you're going to be MUCH less likely to injure internal organs and such when you suddenly slam into a nylon belt"

I wanted to put both of these reblogs in one reblog chain since this is helpful information. Thank you both for giving more information than fatphobic Google did.
Thanks to everyone who worked on verifying this information.

I have no idea what the german text says (neither the czech title tbh)
*yelling* NEN!!!
@nencheese
Quick translation with some liberties:
"This wonderful and strange bird
The kind of which has never been seen
Painted(?) bird came flying in the city of Paris
At 4 in the evening it flew into the mayor's window and all heard that it was a (can't make it that word) of god"
My rough translation would be:
"This wondrous and strange bird, the likes of which have never been seen Said bird came flying in the city Paris, in the evening at 4 o' clock. At the governor's it flew in through the window and from there it is heard it was an act of providence from God."
The word you have as 'painted' I think is 'Bemelter', which is an older form of 'besagter' And the word you couldn't make out is "Schickung", I think.
I definitely might be a bit off though, that German is a wee bit outdated, lol
"Schickung", of course! It's obvious from context but the letters just wouldn't cooperate for me XD
So what I'm hearing is basically "Ma!! There's a weird fucking bird in the governor's house! MA!! It's making a weird fucking noise!"
Also really digging the skulls in the train feathers. Most metal peacock ever
@mist-the-wannabe-linguist Could you shed any light on the Czech portion?
"A forbidden woodcut of a "peculiar bird of revolution" printed in Moravia in 1793"
wha... why is it forbidden? š
thank you for translating! even if that raises so many questions
I suppose because the bird is the French revolution, and although it clearly brings death on its wings, itās still described as āwondrousā.
Speaking of the revolution without outright condemning it would get your whole printing operation sanctioned, if not closed down. This could have even come from a secret printshop, trying to spread the idea of the french revolution, of the revolution being like a huge powerful bird whose flight brings liberty and as they say in the last sentence, itās āan act of providence from Godā.
if you can't do everything, at least you did anything.
it's not perfect. but at least it's betterā”
i was raised by people who it was more likely to be scolded by for what i haven't done than congratulated by for what i have. whenever i did anything, it was usually just an "you should've already done this earlier" or "why do you only listen to my some of the time?"
i feel guilty a lot about only completing one chore when i have more on my to-do list.
or about half-assing a task because that's all i'm able to do.
to evryone who needs to hear
it's okay. any progress at all is progress you've made. anything you have energy for is enough. even just the act of putting it on your list is progress towards the finish line.
be proud pf doing something that's hard for you. be okay with admitting that something is hard for you! no matter how small it is or "lazy" it makes you feel.
you're doing a good job. i don't care how many things there are left to do in your life.. you're doing a good jobā”

i get so freaked out by like. pictures of reallyĀ big rope
Iād like to say thatās normal but Iām a frayed knot
iām so fucking annoyed at this, just for that you donāt get photos of the rope
i changed my mind, this is just too horrifying not to share
itās called a HawserĀ and is the thick cable or rope used for towing/mooring a ship
in conclusion, i have nightmares beyond description
NO it would NOT be cool
well i fucken disagree
@scumrunner do you have any cursed facts about hawsers to share ?
As a fiber nerd, i am personally very enthusiastic about themā¦.
Ohhohohoho DO I EVER. Meet the āsnapback zone,ā not an area with cool hats, but instead the unintuitive range at which a hawser can kill you if it breaks under tension.
What if we kissed in the snap-back zone? š³ š³ š³
I donāt think you guys understand how much force this is, a tow rope used to move a 20 foot boat snaps under tension with enough force to dent metal, shatter glass and seriously injure anyone in its way. A Hawser on the other hand⦠Well Iāve seen a concrete pier with a chuck the size of a sedan ripped out of it by a line failure, and anecdotally, Iāve heard of a 2 ton heavy cargo forklift being skidded sideways, then knocked over. These lines snap with enough force to noticably dent the hull armor of navy ships.
This is a line designed to hold in place a moving object that can be easily in excess of 10000 tons. AND THEY CAN BREAK FROM THAT TENSION ALONE.
THESE THINGS ARE TERRIFYING RUBBER BANDS FROM HELL.
Nope Rope
NOPE ROPE
Iām once again reminded of its much smaller cousin, the haywire.
Youāve heard of the term, āGoing haywire,ā right? Ever spared a thought to why that term exists?
See, time was there was a prototype automatic hay-baler. But this was in that magic period juuust before we really got into standardized sizes. So calibration of the machine was handled manually - a mix of guessing and learning from the results of guessing. If youāve read Raising Steam by Sir Terry Pratchett you know that many people donāt get to learn from the results of their own guesses, due to being dead.
A poorly calibrated hay-baler had the mechanical strength to smush the hay into a tight bundle, wrap the wire around it, and tie that wire off to maintain the baleās form. But the pressure of the over-packed hay was a constant outward force. Each bale made by an over-tight baler was potential energy in physical form. We have a word for āpotential energy in physical formā and that word is ābomb.ā
So sometimes, a man would toss a hay bale and it would land with a twang and the man whoād been reaching down to pick it up where it landed was dead.
And that is what āhaywireā means.
oh nice. i knew hay bales occasionally spontaneously combust, didnāt know they used to have an explosion factor too
I am learning multiple things today
Normally Iād expect wet plant matter to be less likely to go up in flames, but not hay bales! Those pesky bacteria really like to party in damp conditions. And by party I mean ācreate heat.ā
Hey, birates! Are you also pissed off that the TERF continues to make money while a goddamn Dramionie fanfic is on the NYT bestseller's list?
Balance the scales by helping the launch of this gay & sapphic book (that has absolutely nothing to do with any supremely queer pirate fandom whatsoever what are you talking about??) by reading it for free as an "advance reviewer"! :D
Click for more info!
(and yeah, we're publishing this fully by ourselves with nothing but a tiny queer romance promotions company we hired to help organize these reviews, because you think a Big Corporate Publisher would ever support this kind of book unless they could tie it to disgusting Harry Potter money?? Indie all the way babyyy)
Plus, we're making an audiobook with two AMAZING queer indie voice actors so any support you give helps FOUR starving artists scrappy queer artists!
Hey friends, we don't often ask for your help, but we're asking now! It's free to be an ARC reader and early reviews help boost sales. ā¤ļø

developing the hots for ryan gosling because of project hail mary is so fucking embarrassing I swear to god. that is a conventionally attractive man. a noted hollywood heartthrob. he's even blond, are you kidding me? did he win people magazine's sexiest man alive? I don't know. I'm not going to check but it wouldn't surprise me at this point. it's such a mainstream taste. such a clichƩd celebrity crush. like oh I fancy ryan gosling and my favourite drink is coca-cola and my favourite snack is ready salted crisps. jesus christ. 'b-b-but i only like him when he's in a science pun tshirt and playing a dorky-awkward loner type!' doesn't matter. he's still ryan 'ken from barbie' gosling. it's so trite. I feel like the weird nerd girl in a teen coming-of-age romcom falling for the super popular jock. don't I know that I have a reputation to uphold here? cringe.
