Ok бuddy

I am American from warm water port of Texas Oblast

Your comment is the funniest shit I've read today. Thank you King/Queen.

Is anyone really surprised? of course 4chan posts are russian propaganda, this time they just got lazy.

at this point you can assume 90% of *chan posts are basically agit-prop. the actual weirdos post on reddit now

I think it's a mistake to underestimate the amount of weirdos on 4chan
- And the amount of propaganda everywhere else, for that matter.
- Fair point
Only on /pol and /b. Most of the blue boards are still populated by autistic obsessives for their favorite hobbies.
- Nah 4chan is nothing but nazis. I know because a bunch of people who have never been there keep saying so.
Most of 4chan has nothing to do with politics or propaganda. The ones that are reposted mostly all come from two boards. /b/ and /pol/. Also your reddit comment is weird cause reddit is just full of bots now.
- only the two most active areas of 4chan, no big deal lol.
There was a time recently when Internet connection to Russia got severed for a few hours and a lot of people wrote posts about how friendly and polite people on the Internet were during that time.
9Gag is pretty bad with them as well. They used to push anti-vax and anti-mask disinformation with obvious bad faith arguments there during the COVID period. Then when the "special military operation" started in Ukraine they immediately switched to posting pro-Russia bullshit.

Until then I was only thinking this sort of nonsense was there as a result of the website being more open to diverse political views, for better or worse. But that sudden switch made me realize that it was actually a team of people trying to sow the seeds of disarray in any way they could for the Western world by pushing disinformation like this on websites mostly frequented by young adult males, who can be vulnerable to radicalization. To think back to it, it was obvious that they were using a bot farm to upvote their content as well. I haven't set foot on that echo chamber or propaganda and conspiracy nonsense since then. I can only assume this sort of thing is still going on there.
Lemmy as well, but they all pretend to be communists for some reason.
- I wonder if that's some kind of dog whistle...
It's always been agitprop for one thing or another. Hell, I was an edgy teen over a decade ago and there was always a BBC thread and a WHITES ONLY thread running at all times, and both were interspersed about how jews wanted blacks to cuck all the white guys. Truly unhinged shit.

I mean even without that slip up the rest of the message still gives them away. Who the fuck would say that without being a vatnik shill.

Useful idiots who've been suckered into the Kremlin's disinformation campaigns by the millions.

Easily repairable? Lol.

Allies? Lol.

I guess it depends on what breaks. Some random valve snaps? There's probably two or more backups.

Some random distiller happens to spontaneously explode in a random smoking accident? Probably not quite so easy to fix.
- Any decent bomb or missile is going to do a lot more than break a valve.
- Advanced control circuitry? Good fuckin’ luck lol

You never heard of Ielgium?

Of course I have, legium my balls
- Iegium our бalls comrade.

I'm very annoyed that the cyrillic letters aren't in the same keys as their roman counterparts when valid

Country standards from the typewriter era. In Bulgaria we have a different layout from the Russian one, using the same Cyrillic letters (stuff like э and ы that we don’t use) but most people use the “phonetic” keyboard which is the one you describe. Also in casual conversations a lot of people don’t even bother to use Cyrillic and go with latin instead even if it’s not official or standardised in any way.
- Isn't using Latin annoying because it has no щ, ж, я, ч, ь, ю, ё?
Dvorak Simplified Keyboard intensifies

Different keyboard layouts exist for various reasons. It's not always a great idea to try to unify things like that.
- On one hand I agree. On the other hand being a dvorak user has been a massive pain in my ass (but a significantly smaller pain in my wrists)
We in Germany have qwertz plus äöü ß ... But also use the Roman.
- I truly don't understand qwertz. That being said, in Flanders we use azerty, while the Dutch use qwerty, despite us speaking the same language.
You can choose Russian phonetic keyboard, there is one on iPhone

I appreciate the Basterds reference. 🫵😉

Though honestly, without keyboard knowledge, I would have assumed changing Belgium's name for something else is a white supremacist dogwhistle. This is 4chan afterall.

It's really not hard to look up keyboard layouts. I can recognize Cyrillic characters and don't know anything else about the script, but that's just a search away.
- Well I wouldn't have made the connection that it's a typo in a different keyboard layout

I am from England! AMERICAAAAAA!

Фifteen roubles bitch.

i think this comments section might be 4chan users....

Unstoppably autistic vs Russia.....never haaad a dreeeam come true....Shea LaBeef was only a rehearsal..

Should it be “duddy” or “иuddy”?

This indeed is a kyrillic b.

Hate to rain on your parade, but it's not like they missed a Shift for a magical language-switch-while-pressed. Mistyping it that way is non-trivial because default language switching is non-trivial.

Vatnik detected.
- But it's true tho. You need to do Super+Space or Alt+Shift to switch languages. On mobile you either swipe on the space key to switch the layout or you have a dedicated language change button.
  
  Two different layouts are not on the same map, so input modifiers like level-2 and level-3 can't magically change a Latin keyboard into a Cyrillic
  
  I've spent all of my life using multiple layouts مثل این
- Incoming refinery drone detected!
  
  Wzioooooo boooom!
- Fix your detector.
Sure if you ignore the fact that very few regions use the cyrillic alphabet. Mistyping like that is a good bit harder, hell me typing out þe þorn takes a bit of effort on my phone.
- Ah. Haven't thought of that, you're right.
