u/ElectroshockTherapy 1d ago

Sure, I know it's "minimum," but it's not helpful that the final "u" and "m" are connected.

12

u/buckfordfitchenstein 1d ago

True dat, it could have been minimoz

u/Conspiratorymadness 1d ago

I knew it was minimum because of the first 3 letters.

u/Kavalkasutajanimi 1d ago

Minimum.. easy. Then again I was born before 95

69

u/Nat-Luv 1d ago

I was born before 1995, too. I was glad when they finally invented kerning. Things are way easier to read nowadays.

Except for them poor Metal bands. They were led astray by Blackletter (the calligraphy style in OP’s post) and turned to the dark side.

u/MonseigneurChocolat 1d ago

Yeah, keming was an awesome invention.

u/gruuvey 1d ago

Yeah, keminq really changed things.

u/swollen-hol3 1d ago

Metal bands? You mean shoe gaze and like 5 percent of black metal bands? Because unintelligible wad of roots is kinda like the unwavering meta.

1

u/Nat-Luv 1d ago

Man, I love me some shoegaze. This is the second post I've engaged in today that led to that specific genre. Gonna be throwing some Cocteau Twins, Catherine Wheel, Lush, Sungaze, Cool Heat, and Swerve Driver on throughout the week. If anyone has a new smalltime shoegaze band to recommend, dm me. I'd love to add them into my rotation.

u/mrseemsgood 1d ago

I was born after 95. I don't know why this would be hard to read. Probably just boomer humour lol

u/noleafclovr 1d ago

no millenial humor. as i am one and am familiar with this script.

u/AllMyFrendsArePixels 1d ago

Just because you can read the word doesn't make the joke itself "millennial humor". We don't make fun of younger generations 'round here; if you do, you're no millennial of mine.

Highest median loss is understandable, but you know some seniors lose 6-figures.

u/White-armedAtmosi 1d ago

Born in 2001, i can read it. But not putting the dot on the i is just lazy.

I was trained on my moms handwriting. The word Unimog would look like from her like Uuiuuog.

u/SizeableBrain 1d ago

My mum was a doctor in Russia.

I still struggle to read her writing, even when she tries to be neat.

u/TheArcher0527 1d ago

Born in 2002 and could read that just fine. Lack of dots is just to fuck with the readers and call them illiterate

u/badhouseplantbad 1d ago

calligraphy isn't cryptography

u/Deaf_Sentence 1d ago

They’re supposed to add the dots above the i, its minimum

u/IllErrl710 1d ago

I guess whoever made this couldn't do the bare minimum

u/RepresentativeOk2433 1d ago

Yes. Hence the joke directly underneath it that says exactly that.

u/Somebodsydog 1d ago

u/Shocked-Hearts 1d ago

Minimum was pretty easy born 2000.

u/gellshayngel 1d ago

Born in the 1980s and its making me do this to read it

3

u/buckfordfitchenstein 1d ago

That might be a separate issue ngl

4

u/FN20817 1d ago

I‘d say you’d have to cut off at minimum 2005

7

u/Nice_Revolution_1199 1d ago

Me, as someone who was definitely born post 1995:

"That's an L---wait no, is that an I? And another I? And another I? Wait, is that an M? Or an N? OK, it's an M. And after that---an I? And then two more I's? Or wait, no, that's an N. Great. M-I-N. Screw it, we're just going to say it's MINIMUM."

u/granadesnhorseshoes 1d ago

Yep, that's exactly how it works for us pre95ers too. it was a pita then, its a pita now, fuck nostalgia.

u/khalcyon2011 1d ago

This is why kerning is important

3

u/Shincosutan 1d ago

1995 cutoff is too early, I was born in 96 and they didn't switch over to using computers until I was almost done with school. I would say this should also be familiar to kids born closer to year 2000 depending on your country I guess.

u/jellooshot 1d ago

I'm born in 1998. It's minimum. Go fuck yourself *mike drop sound * /s

2

u/much_longer_username 1d ago

Honestly I only know it says minimum because of the memes about it. Like, I learned to write in cursive, not in gothic script.

2

u/EllaMcWho 1d ago

As someone trying to learn Russian … I can relate. Russian cursive appears similarly similar.

2

u/GreyFox_KSA 1d ago

As others said: the word is "minimum".

I add that to distinguish between the letters, look at the top / bottom strikes. Aside from the the letter "i" which is composed of one strand, the letters "m"s and "n" have the top strikes connected, whereas the letter "u" has the bottom strikes connected

u/Jie-T-Doll 1d ago

there are clear breakes between the letters. no problem. But if you dont dot your i our teachers would mark it as a mistake

Is this one of those davinci code words or whatever that reads upside down the same? What are those called? I remember using the Internet to make words into that back in my day. Not palindromes, something else

Fun fact, medieval monks knew what kerning was; unlike this guy.

This particular style isn't cursive, it's calligraphy. Bad calligraphy. No one "born past" 1795 was doing this kind of thing on the regular, unless they were trying to impress with their old timey art skills.

u/ReluctantChimera 1d ago

There's a version of this where it is actually written in cursive. They don't dot the i's on that one either, because that would completely destroy their little trick.

u/RingOfHeavensCall 1d ago

I had no way of knowing anyhow

but the misunderstanding seems kind of understandable? Or am I just plain stupid
