@jon357

I only know how AntV looks like, and you told me you look like Begbie. Everyone else, I'm just guessing. :)


Also a pagan ceremony in the background, and that building was supposed to be a summer house at the Baltic coast but it looks more like a church; also the entire scene was supposed to take place in Berlin. Looks like AI gets a bit confused if you give it too much information. :)

I will do Grunni and PolAm in a moment.

Thanks. It's nice to connect a face to the moniker. I look like a 10 years younger Paweł Deląg, with glasses too. :)

That's ChatGPT's idea of a traditional Ukrainian shirt.

That's not even a limerick!

Here...

A farmer with pigs in the sun,
Kania made bratwurst for fun.
With flavors so bold,
And stories retold,
His sausages always won!

or

On a farm where the happy pigs roam,
A man named Kania found his home.
He crafted each brat,
With flavor and fat,
Turning simple meals into gourmet dome!

Learn to use AI, Johnny; it's all the rage now.

I see your limericks would be far less kind than the ones written by AI. Hmm... let me see if I can force ChatGPT to write a nasty limerick...

There once was a guy, Johnny Reb,
Whose actions were quite out of ebb.
He'd shoot at tame deer,
And make others fear,
With comments that crossed every web.

or...

There once was a member named Johnny,
Who shot at tame deer, thinking it's bonny.
He'd harass women online,
With words far from fine,
Leaving kindness behind like a conny.

:)

How about that...

In a bun, with some mustard and cheer,
A bratwurst brings joy far and near.
Grilled to a sizzle,
It makes taste buds drizzle,
A feast that we all hold so dear!

... :)


Catch this, Pawian...

On the forums, a voice stands apart,
With wit that's a true work of art.
Pawian's sharp quip,
Makes every post flip,
A master of clever and smart!

Finally there's some sensible use of AI! And I discovered it by accident :)

News / Should Poland pay for gas in rubles? [194]

Should Poland buy gas with a ruble?
It's causing a bit of a trouble.
With sanctions in place,
it's quite a tense race,
But they'd rather not burst that bubble!

*OK, that's enough of ChatGPT poetry for today*

Hey, Milo - here's a limerick for you from ChatGPT...

There's a forum member named Milo,
Whose posts had a humorous style-o.
With wisdom to share,
And a witty flair,
In the forums, he's loved by the pile-o!

Dishonorary mentions:

Novichok - for constant insidious remarks at Poles (for which he makes up a little with his constant insidious remarks at Brits)
Pawian - for his preposterous idea of apologising to the descendants of genocide perpetrators (otherwise he would even make it to the Top 10)

Off-Topic / Best posters [886]

Best posters update (Top 10):

1-2 BB and AntV - for stubbornly refusing to descend to the average level of PF;
3. Bobko - for the sheer resilience and sticking around for so long; Russians are indeed long suffering world champions;
4. Lenka - for the common sense, calm and this elusive, intangible Slavic sadness in her, that she hasn't lost even abroad
5. Atch - for constantly reminding me that I occasionaly stray from the Christian path;
6. Paulina - for significantly decreasing the amount of vitriol in her posts and being much more mature (with age comes wisdom and all that)
7. Velund - for offering the current opinion from Mordor in a very often humorous way ;)
8-10 Jon357, Cms_neuf and Mafketis - for iron consistency in their views (an admirabe character trait in itself).

Honorary mentions:

PolAmKrakow - for being able to allow the reality to change his views (an admirable character trait in itself).
Crow - for his unceasing service to Sarmatia;
Ironside - for not allowing kindness and consideration for other human beings influence his posts. ;)

History / Historic Photos about Poland with Context [37]

Lieutenant Jedwab: 1939

1st September 1939, dawn, a couple of kilometres from the German border, near Działoszyn. 19th German Infantry Division assaults the positions of 84th Poleski Rifleman Regiment. The commander of a heavy machinegun team is Henryk Jedwab, son of a very rich Jewish family from Kalisz. He knows he cannot afford the slightest weakness or his Polish colleagues will consider him a coward; he calmly waits for German infantrymen to advance close enough when he shouts 'Ognia!' and rain of lead stops the attacking Germans. That was the beginning of a distinguished military career that would see Jedwab receiving Fighter's Cross/Krzyż Walecznych (three times), Croix de Guerre (three times), Monte Cassino Cross and last but not the least Virtuti Militari (Poland's highest military decoration for heroism and courage in the face of the enemy at war).

His entire family was murdered by the nazis during the war. Once he was asked how many Germans he killed; he thought for a moment and said "More than my family had members... way, way more".

Nukes, Iron. We would get nukes. Think about it.

Never again would Poland be conquered and our loved ones slaughtered.

We have no real friends, and nations don't change that much in measly 80 years. Consider this before you call me a trolling nutter again.

Jewish Generals: 1939

Brigade General Wilhelm Orlik-Rückemann, pioneer of Poland's panzer forces, distinguished himself in Polish-Soviet war, commander of KOP in 1939.

Brigade General Bernard Mond, commander of Army Cracow's 6th Infantry Division, defender of korytarz pszczyński.

Brigade General Juliusz Zulauf, defender of Narew line and Warsaw Praga.

120,000 Polish Jews fought in the ranks on Wojsko Polskie in September 1939. Mentioning all of them would be impossible (I will mention one in more detail later). 7000 of them, including 100 officers, were KIA and names like Friedmann-Mieczysławski, Arnsztajn, Berenson, Putzman, Pariserberg, Fisch and Liebich are well known to Polish WW2 historians. Above you see photos of three Jewish September '39 generals.

Aaaah, nothing like a bit of good old pre-war antisemtism on a lovely Friday morning, right Novi? The Jews were bloody capitalists and communist revolutionaries at the same time, godless atheists and backward orthodox chałatowcy, cosmopolites and zionist nationalists -- damn what a perfect scapegoat! You could accuse them of pretty much anything even if the accusations were self-contradictory! :)

One might think that growing in years means also growing in wisdom. Apparently not in every case.

In the 20th century this title was rightly won by Germany, thanks to a short, dark-haired painter from Austria.

We would move them to today's Israel. Arabs have no beef with Madagascan people, so they should be able to live together in peace.

Good point. 'Next year in Jerusalem' and all that.


You already have atomic weapons and a rather strong army. No, they must come back to Poland. Together we will be invincible.

Jokes aside, I wonder whether Jews wouldn't be better off in Madagascar than being surrounded by enemies from the very birth of their state. Also, I may be wrong but prior to 1948 some other African country was proposed too for Jewish homeland (Ghana?). However, it might have been tricky in African mainland - Madagascar would probably be safer.

I wouldn't say normal but it's legal. However, you can only have civil marriage; Church forbids it (canon 1091), so no white dress and wedding Mass for cousins.
