One of Poland's major cities is called Łódź, which just means Boat. This is apparently funny enough that "The City of Boat" or "Boat City", verbatim in English, has become a fairly common humorous nickname for it. That, and it's a pretty funny city on its own, since like 40% of it looks as if the Germans just stopped bombing it yesterday, another 40% as if the communist gov never fell, and it all clashes with the remaining presentable 20% magnificently. And often these different "styles" are right next to each other. If you ever have a chance to visit it on the way I highly recommend it, even the attached pictures don't give that extreme contrast justice. Just don't wait too long, they're making progress broadening that 20% and in another 20 years it may look like just another western city.
Another nickname: "uć". It's read similarly to "Łódź" but has only two letters which is pretty impressive. It also sounds kinda funny but that can't be conveyed in text or pictures.

Quick reminder that when a society bases its politics on magical thinking, this is the kind of shit that happens #pol

PS: how am I supposed to add image description to a Polish meme uploaded with translation for international community? I settled for English description with exact Polish quote but I'm sure some English screen reader users will be quite unhappy when it tries to read it and spits out garbage.

#meme that reminded me of when many years ago I learned that circumcision, which until then I knew as the weird ancient jewish religious practice, is not only performed en masse in the USA, but even considered normal. No wonder there's a lot of antisemitic folk there, I'd be angry too.
