Cuz, for some reason, he folds it in half before inserting it

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks!

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

I feel like if an LLM spat this out every time the word “Turk” is mentioned they’d do a few more iterations before launch but in any comment thread on Reddit or Lemmy we get this wonderful reverse Turing test
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I don’t think many actual Turkish people would be offended by this.
tetris11@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Looks like Nasretin Hoca meets Sinbad. Then again, I see literally a “black beard” which I’m not going to translate here.
kindatired@lemmy.world 6 months ago
as a Turk, this is fucking awesome
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
We were the Trojans, which is basically just Turks as well.

But “Trojans” can be very easily turned into a nasty joke. Funny, but nasty.

So this dude knows why Constantinople got the works?

Even though it’s been a long time gone?
Narauko@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes, but he won’t tell you because it’s none of your business.
theburninator@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
We had a boring enough mascot, but my highschool had separate black and white homecoming kings & queens… In 1998.
scoobford@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
Pretty sure that was illegal at the time…
roguetrick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They’re usually done as private parties with invites required and off campus. That way you can’t sue the school.
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 months ago
That’s fucking badass
spicytuna62@lemmy.world 6 months ago
My small town’s mascot was the Tigers. The next town to the north? Tigers. The town west of us? Their school shut down in 1997, but they were Tigers, too. The town south? Panthers. There is a town in the next county north that also is the Panthers.
Lots of big cats. No Cougars/Pumas/Mountain Lions, despite the fact that they’re totally a native species. There was one town whose mascot was the Bobcats.

My High School was not a sport high school. More or less all the cool kids were what would be considered the band nerds and arts took up half the foot print of the school.
We were originally officially the… Ahem… “Tillicums and Frontiersmen”. Which most kids were only vaguely aware of. There were no mascots, our teams basically just used our town’s name and sport was one of those things you like vaguely knew was happening.
About 15 years ago the conversation developed that it was a pretty colonial name and not cool and they changed it around the same time three other schools in neighboring towns did theirs. All three towns seemingly independently (a student led conspiracy was suspected but never confirmed) all named their school teams “the (insert school name here) Storm”.
So now there’s just three teams all called Storm with zero mascots and people continue to not give a damn about sports… So I guess sometimes you get a theme?
AppleTea@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
Big cats, wolves, eagles, and uncomfortable caricatures of people. Heaven forbid a school ever choose, like, a local frog or hedgehog or whatever for a mascot.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 months ago
There’s also Catholic schools with crusaders which may be more concerning than the caricatures
krush_groove@lemmy.world 6 months ago
My catholic school growing up was the Wildcats. Every catholic school seemed to be called the Wildcats. Then I found out the city’s catholic high school has the Buttons as their mascot. The Central High School Buttons. San Antonio, TX.

Faresh@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Huh. lemmy.ml also censors links, it seems. This is what I see:
Mortimus@infosec.pub 6 months ago
Didn’t know it censored, but the censored item is a racial slur so that makes sense. Prolly have to search pekin high school becomes pekin dragons
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Rhymes with links.
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 6 months ago
Imagine if Turkish people really existed. Wouldn’t that be wild?

Nah, only Turkish delight exists.

Are they young? Do they dress in suits and chase Cloud Strife?

Were you allowed to rock the Casbah?
Grayox@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Would be amazing if Their mascot was Hasanabi
samus12345@lemmy.world 6 months ago
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Eagles rock.
We were the Trojans, which is a fancy way of saying Turks from a specific region.
JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
You keep saying that, but it is very much not true.
Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I dont get it, can someone ELI5?
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s politically incorrect to use a group of people as a mascot. This mostly gained momentum after an NFL team called the Redskins started getting flak for basically using a derogatory name for native americans as a mascot.
The pendulum kept swinging and it removed even non-derogatory names as mascots.
So even though a legitimate name used to represent badasses on a tema where you’re supposed to win constantly to prove how great you are somehow got shut down.
I understand it, but it felt like the usual smart changes that went too far. I blame white people white knighting / virtue signalling too much.
RIP Mia from Land O Lakes butter. You can understand it, you don’t have to like it.

My high school mascot was the Indian, and after a lot of debate and pitches they decided to change it to Tribe. Because that’s better somehow.
Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
That makes sense, the pc police havent had anything to complain about lately. Ew its so offensive.
BruceLee@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
So what is the problem? Is anon some kind of prod racist or what?
pb42184@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This looks like fighting Turks. Fucking Turks would be different
…I think?
CuttingBoard@sopuli.xyz 6 months ago
I may have graduated from this high school…
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Kinda makes a bit more sense when you consider that the school is in Sultan, Washington and it’s address is on Turk Drive.
But also: Washington state… redneck?
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
As an European, I can confirm that all Americans (south and north) are Yankee rednecks
thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 months ago
As a Texan, I can’t read goddamn thing between my wild diabetes eyes and rampant illiteracy
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Eastern European = Southern America.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Hey, Yanks live in real America, those fake Americans to the north and south of us don’t qualify. They can be rednecks, but not Yanks.
Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
As someone from the east side of the state, it definitely fits. Friends joke that I live in West Idaho.
Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Outside of Seattle/Tacoma, very redneck. Get up to the mountains and cattle farms.

Stripper coffee is where ladies strip? And there’s hot beverages?

You don’t even have to go that far, I used to live in a coastal Navy town that had a meth problem. I bought my car from a dealership that got busted 6 months later. KFC is where they sold the meth that was cooked in the Ford dealership across the street. I almost miss Oak Harbor…
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Oh yeah, I’ve been around the country enough to know that anywhere outside of the city is Red, no matter what state you’re in, but “Redneck” just has a very specific southern connotation to me.
DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 6 months ago
Does it though? Like saying the Germantown school mascot should be the Krauts.
Other Options:
Viziers
Janissaries
Genies
Bombards
Footstools
Instan-Bulls
Harem Girls
Mhmm
Wait, what were we talking about again?
Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I was about to comment how cool the name Bombards would be, but then I read the Istan-Bulls and sorry but you should be legally obligated to go with that name when it’s an option, it’s that good.

People always expect Oregon and Washington to be super liberal but once you leave the city it’s a bunch of hicks in the woods (respectfully)
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I don’t even expect Portland to be super liberal. That city has a long history with the KKK.

Pretty much the story of every blue state.
Jackcooper@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yes, if you’re more than an hour from Seattle/ half an hour from Spokane you’re probably in redneck territory
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Can confirm. I grew up about 30 min from Seattle and was on the border of redneck territory. I played high school sports with schools out “in the country” and was able a 15 min drive from some ranches and whatnot.
WA is a very weird place.
bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I believe it. Even here in California small mountain towns tend to lean heavily conservative
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Five minutes out the cities or cross the mountains to the east or go on the peninsula or drive south or north…
Puget Sound has population high density and mostly dominates the politics of the state.
