[email protected] posted it around a lot, and it sounds legit due to it being on the .gov site.

I wanted to dig into the original version since I'm a native and have some edge in using it over my homies. Even some rewards at that, kek.

Welp. Mostly it's an easily translateable basic vocab including media-specific words. I suspect it's an american or a russian-american person writing in Russian and sometimes\always using an automatic translator. And they are stupid at that, as they don't know how complex punctuation works or don't read what they post. The punctuation is kinda confusing, sometimes hinting that it's a copy paste from a translator.

• отличается от таковой - is a rare turn of words that many russians fail at, just like americans fail at they're. I don't know many persons who can correctly put it into a sentence. That's probably a translated text since they can't handle the right placement of commas.
• ставленником - is a weird archaic word that's sometimes used by nerds of polisci or other humane arts weirdos, it isn't used anywhere else. That's maybe a clue to who wrote it.
• нового глобалистского социализма - sounds weird, like a direct translation from English.
• Next, there is a division between the elephant and the donkey, both lowercase, without any punctuation to tell them they are referencing parties, not animals. It's fucking stupid. And not stupid as a result from an AI prompt that can produce a correct phrase, but from a literal translation of a literal translation that lost any indication of what it refers to.

That's just the first picture. All of that sounds weird to my ear, and my assumption, clouded by the US gov's decision to put it onto display, is that it can be legit, but it is written by a person with a political\media background, creating a draft in English, that they lazily translated into Russian. That may be on RT employes, especially international ones.

There are a handful of russian-speaking users on fediverse who can tell I'm wrong.

Ah, yeah, and it really mentions 'manga' although it doesn't make any sense.

Unfortunately, I can't find much more reliable information on the area. It's apparently also known as Wan Tkufi and Karakeb.

I'd love to know the geological reason for this if anyone knows it.

Seeing another post about aunt Jemima products that were discounted due to racial stereotypes I was curious what's the worst product-fuckuo you have seen?

In Sweden we have a chocolate pastry ball that was called negerboll which translates to negro ball. Early 2000s it was deemed that it was not ok and it changed name to chocolate ball.

This is a 1963 book by the American Institute of Architects awarding the best designs for school fallout shelters.

A really nice-looking book. Like they spent some good money on it.

The Internet Archive has the weirdest stuff. I've been entertaining myself by browsing text collections lately.

Cool design

The sharpest image ever taken of Venus.

The dark side shines in the infrared, which is how this photo was taken.

It can be found at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, USA.

Check Daniel Popper out with your search engine of choice, because pretty much all of his sculptures are amazing.

This zoomable picture of the Andromeda galaxy has insane detail. It really impressed me with the crazy amount of stars visible once you fully zoom in. And that is just a small section of one galaxy! Made me realise how unfathomable the total amount of stars in the universe really is
