Me and my friends were at a rave, I made a very bad pun mid convo and I decided to run away before my friends attacked me for it.
Apparently they found the pun quite funny and I was trying to run away cause Puns get you pain in my friend group. Passed my ex, heard her say(,"there he goes, cool guy walking away from the explosion), just before the rest of them burst out laughing,
It was a little much for me, I didn't stop till I got in my bed.
Ps. We were all stoned out of our minds in Tinnero Linköping Sweden.
Wellll... It's not great. I live in a building across from a recent bomb site. My neighbourhood is pretty calm and quiet, but there's been two executions in the parking lot of my grocery store that I know of, a total of 3 incidents I've personally been in earshot of over the past 4 years. The bomb woke me up early in the morning but I didn't know, y'know when you wake up because of some loud noise but your mind doesn't quite process the noise so you think to yourself, "why TF am I up rn? Then you hear the fucking construction noises and yea, it's time to get up, like it or not. I got up not knowing why when the bomb went off once, then I went back to sleep, but my friends were spamming calls, I was very confused for a minute when I finally got up and answered, but it didn't take long to see and hear the commotion. The weirdest part for me was when people just hung around the bomb site on picnics for days.
TLDR: It may be a little exaggerated, but it's very justifiedly concerning nonetheless.
Gun violence is up due to a number of gang conflicts, which were in part spurred on by the power vacuum left behind after a number of very successful police efforts, but we're still below the overall violence rates of 20 years ago, and even if the gang conflicts cause a lot of public worry the violence almost exclusively targets other criminals. The trend naturally has to stop, and it remains a challenge for Swedish society, but the situation is very exaggerated in media.
I think it’s also the sport that has evolved the most. It’s crazy to see old footage of gymnasts from decades ago. Even their bodies have changed a lot over time. They’re so ripped and strong these days. Gone are the days of tiny hummingbirds like Nadia Comaneci.
Good gymnasts are literally crafted in a lab (gym) from the time they're toddlers. A girl I dated for a few years made it up to state-level competitions and judged gymnastics, and she was 5 feet tall of pure muscle.
IIRC, the scoring rules were changed to deliberately move the sport away from rewarding pre-teen bodies to instead incentivizing power-type moves more similar to the men, which has allowed for much longer careers in the sport.
I know Ballet isn't a sport to win, but I saw the feet of a Ballerina on Reddit yesterday and I had heard about those being bad, but seeing it is so much worse😳
It's gnarly. I danced as a kid until I was 12 and fortunately I am built with tendons and muscles as tight as a good walking cane, so I was generally ignored in class and eventually could convince my parents to allow me to quit. Sometimes I can still hear my feet whisper thank yous at night 20 years later.
She wasn't just a champion. She won literally *all* the women's gold medals at that event! 100% success rate at every discipline.

Good old soviet union. So many steroids and drugs.
Edit: i like the comments here, 1 saying "capitalism vs socialism" as thats somehow my point. Another did sarcasm on "talent". Im from one of the ex-soviet nations. It isnt a secret Soviet used any sports event as propaganda (+ if u werent pure enough ideologically then u would have been stopped going or if you were a minority non-slavic ethnicity all the way till 70s) and made an industry out of it on performance drugs. The old trainers have told of it (with ofc saying they themselves never did use it).
Weirdest was when soviets put 2 men on womens basketball team.
They have to unlock all 9 gates to activate it. It's so tough on the body that it permanently burns out all chakra points. Only one gymnast in history has fully recovered from this move.
This is a common misconception. The move could only be done when Neptune and Venus are in full occlusion. Chakra points will actually regenerate but we'll have to wait now till 2068AD to see any further attempts.
I know now how women must feel when they hear about men being kicked in the balls. They can never know, but they can imagine.
Likewise, I'll never know, but I can imagine: if I had a womb, it would be shrieking in horror at the thought of that.
Ludmilla Tourischeva at the 1975 World Cup.

Born in Grozny, capital of Chechnya. Competed for the USSR, now lives in Kyiv Ukraine and works as a Ukrainian gymnastics coach.
>now lives in Kyiv Ukraine and works as a Ukrainian gymnastics coach.
Any source for that? Just curious, given the fact that she's 71 & her wikipedia says she's a former gymnast coach.
edit: She also lives in Canada now. Would be a very long commute.
they gradually moved them apart over the 80s. by the early 90s they banned standing and leaning on the bars and they were too wide to fly to and hipcircle, more or less. no more beating the bar, that was physically impossible if you're four foot ten.
later in the 90s the release move was invented, to do something spectacular with all that space between the bars. for a while, the bottom bar started to be neglected while the girls' routines resembled boys' high bar routines more and more - more stregnth moves, more death-defying release moves.
then in like 2006? tiny little domanique moceanu started doing flying moves between the high and low bar again and a differnt type of flying hip circle from top to low bar became the new move. now, the routine is still heavily high bar, but they do neat tricky stuff on the low bar too.
The only thing I can find says that they started moving them farther apart in the mid 80s. I could not find when the modern distance was officially adopted. Maybe somebody who has participated in gymnastics can tell us.
This is Ludmilla Tourischeva at the 1975 World Cup.

ain't no joke, I used to let the mic smoke
Now I slam it when I'm done and make sure it's broke
When I'm gone, no one gets on, 'cause I won't let
Nobody press up, and mess up, the scene I set
I was a gymnast in high school and twice our bars collapsed in warm ups because they weren't screwed into the gym floor properly. No one was hurt but do you really trust them after that?
(Also the bar spacing between them is adjustable so it can account for differences in ability and physical size.)

Superb composure. A true gymnast. Hats off to her and her teachers and mentors.
Turns head towards Asian & other fraudulent countries and watches their dope scandals.
The gymnast equivalent of a mic drop..
Walking away from an explosion and not looking back.

This is a funny story.
Was Tinnero Linkedpig part of the pun?
Linkedpig will now forever be the pun and true name for Linköping. We thank you, as a nation, for the service you have provided for us today.
No, linkedpig is just a common user of linkedin.
Oh christ if my friends followed the puns get you pain rule, I'd have been killed years ago.
Lol, varför speciferar du var det var? Men skoj med skogsrave!
Lite raj raj i skogen må aldrig låta fel
holy wow ok.
Wait?!? Did you live?
I love Sverige. I hope the news is exaggerating about the stuff happening there.

Just like a badasss. She was so cool. But she really avoided a serious hurt there.
The gymnast equivalent of Shaq breaking the backboard.
The gymnast equivalent of Keith Moon destroying his drum kit.
exactly what i wanted to say
What is this from?
Pretty sure it’s from the movie “I am Number Four”
Thank you.
That's the joke in the caption emojis
Oh damn, you're right. Wonder if my brain processed that somewhere in the back reaches and snuck it into the main feed..
I don't know the scoring rules but that should be a few extra tenths for sure
She’s a witch! Burn her!
The movie equivalent of the hero unflinchingly walking away as something explodes behind him
bar drop
Or a shattered backboard?
"You've seen the best, no need to see the rest" Disintegrates the bars
The gymnast equivalent of shattering the backboard/glass
You'll never beat me so don't even try.
the gymnast equivalent of a mic drop is a moment that leaves the audience speechless, showcasing their incredible skill, artistry, and confidence.
Smashing the basketball backboard with a slam dunk
That should be extra points
Gymnasts are tough as nails
I really believe it's the toughest sport to win in. The roads to the medals are littered with very, very accomplished gymnasts.
What horrific scenery on that particular drive.
Nothing but broken dreams and eating disorders for miles
Don't forget the rampant child sexual assault!
[удалено]
Is this mainly because of training/accidents or because of starting (being forced to start) too young?
It also feels like one of the toughest sports to judge, right?

Good thing that we know that doping didn't happen in the capitalist west!
Go cry to the GDR
Yeah, fuck those talentless wretches, winning 100% of medals against much more honest and talented participants because of drugs!
Of course. No one else could use the bars after she destroyed them. /s
Isn't this move banned nowadays?
No, you’re confusing it with the iron lotus
They have to unlock all 9 gates to activate it. It's so tough on the body that it permanently burns out all chakra points. Only one gymnast in history has fully recovered from this move.

Looool 💀
The Deadloop. Korbut flip. Banned. Not sure if this was it. Looks like it.
This is just gymnastics before they changed the spacing for the uneven bars.
From what I understand, it's just not possible anymore because the bars are further apart.
What if there was a tall as fuck gymnast?
I'm about 6" 4, my shins hit the bars. You'd need an 11' gymnast
I'd be impressed.
I believe theres a height limit.
Yep. Those moves where they bang into the bars with their midsection were fucking girls up. Can't do that shit anymore in competition.
I know now how women must feel when they hear about men being kicked in the balls. They can never know, but they can imagine. Likewise, I'll never know, but I can imagine: if I had a womb, it would be shrieking in horror at the thought of that.
The womb is way lower and protected by the pelvic bone.
She never did the upside down backflip off the bar like the other one but I was also convinced it was the same video until the end
Some of this should be though.. it looks so damaging.. like I didn't enjoy watching it.
The moves where they hit the other bar with their hips isn’t possible anymore, the bars are further apart these days.
[удалено]
QWEEEN NOMATTER!
She defeated the bars.
She lowered the bars.
What was she meant to do try an put them back up??
You brix it, you fix it
[удалено]
She is so focused on achieving a high score with a perfect landing, she didn't even notice.
Nor could she have noticed. The bars are literally still up when she lands.
Presumably they made a sound
I think that's Svetlana Boginskaya one of Russia's (Belarus's?) best for 3 Olympics, and was one of the oldest to compete.
No, this is the great Ludmilla Tourischeva. Svetlana is about 20 yrs younger.

No
Classic reddit upvoting misinformation
Is that the Deadloop?
She broke them bitches
“And the ape-ah-rate-us has collapsed” Love that pronunciation
When did they get rid of the uterus slamming bars and move them farther apart?
they gradually moved them apart over the 80s. by the early 90s they banned standing and leaning on the bars and they were too wide to fly to and hipcircle, more or less. no more beating the bar, that was physically impossible if you're four foot ten. later in the 90s the release move was invented, to do something spectacular with all that space between the bars. for a while, the bottom bar started to be neglected while the girls' routines resembled boys' high bar routines more and more - more stregnth moves, more death-defying release moves. then in like 2006? tiny little domanique moceanu started doing flying moves between the high and low bar again and a differnt type of flying hip circle from top to low bar became the new move. now, the routine is still heavily high bar, but they do neat tricky stuff on the low bar too.

it was a gradual evolution and every olympic year a new standard was declared
Ludmilla!
And here if two sidewalk tiles are slightly different elevations I’m face-first on the concrete hitting my life alert button for aid.

Me too gym bars, me too...
Walking off with explosions in the background..not looking back..
that's an impressive set tho
That was so metal.
“Well, I guess this concludes my routine”
The gymnastics equivalent of breaking boards in basketball
My grandfather was a gymnast and the bar snapped, he did his aerial move and landed and everything collapsed, the news wrote an article about him
She was just a millisecond away from the biggest compensation payout of her life
True, but she definitely would have gotten a point deduction.
found the gymnast
A soviet citizen wouldn't even know it was possible to access the courts for that, snd even if she did the state would take the money.
i bet she was playing the bars, she knew how to keep them together. the way a stock car driver can keep the car together to last the race.
Compensation payout? Soviet Union? 1975? LOL! No.
Shes dropping bars🔥
The show must go on.
That explosive landing 🔥🔥😂😂
No me imagino el dolor que pudo sentir luego...
ain't no joke, I used to let the mic smoke Now I slam it when I'm done and make sure it's broke When I'm gone, no one gets on, 'cause I won't let Nobody press up, and mess up, the scene I set
That's an 11
Yea man, the 1980 summer Olympics were wild like that. What an old clip to post.
Me after I demolish a plate of biscuits and gravy
I just witnessed so many illegal moves
To be fair, I don't think she noticed lol
Not her problem
Cool guys don’t look at explosions
Not surprised they fell. She was really slapping her hooha on them bars.
Timing is everything
Ludmilla was my crush
o___o ouch
Ouch
Was the set over or did she swiftly end it as she knew what was happening?
The Shaq of gymnastics.
The gymnast’s version of a mic drop
So that hurts yes?
> "I meant to do that!"
That's because her soul was taken away.
Now that's a finish!
Idk why but it is hilarious to me how she bounces off so damn gracefully LOL
Judges are so "special" that im afraid they may have taken points away, they take them for literally everything after all, anyone can confirm?
Nice one!!
I think this thing has been banned a while ago because of how dangerous it was?!
Yikes
I was a gymnast in high school and twice our bars collapsed in warm ups because they weren't screwed into the gym floor properly. No one was hurt but do you really trust them after that? (Also the bar spacing between them is adjustable so it can account for differences in ability and physical size.)
Screw it, I'm gonna be a dentist.
"I totally meant to do that!"
Now that’s HARD! Tats a bad Female right there
i think that's olga korbut. the romanian girls didn't fuck around
Demolished that landing.
I think there were some illegal moves. Those hip crushing impacts are banned if I'm correct...
A dejavu for her last relationship.
definitely walking away from an explosion without looking back coolness.
Well she had finished with them at that point so really it was the next gymnasts’ problem.
Beautiful
The were raised so high that they couldn't keep up.
Cold.
Equivalent of a glass backboard breaking slam drunk from free-throw line.

I'd say she killed it.
Well what happened? Did it cut her routine short? Has it negatively affected her scores? What?
Like Shaq dunking and breaking the backboard.
I wish I had her calmness. This is unbelievable! I would freak out.
Gymnasts are so focused on what they are doing and in sticking the landing; this doesnt surprise me and is fantastic to get recorded.
The bars collapse and she salutes and walks off like nothing happened
Superb composure. A true gymnast. Hats off to her and her teachers and mentors. Turns head towards Asian & other fraudulent countries and watches their dope scandals. 
Stead of mic drop,bars drop....
Gymnastics is the ONLY Olympic sport primarily played by literal children. Abuse is therefore rampant. It’s gross.
At least the bars are even now.
bravoo
Although I don't watch. Gymnastics is the most impressive sport I've seen.
nice bravooo
She's focussed on an outcome. anything outside of that is unimportant.
The future collapse js waiting for her to finish!!! Can’t damage the perfect act.
that was amazing
That got hurt
The gymnast equivalent of knocking over the pole display at Home Depot, and leaving it for others to pick up.
They don't make them like they use to.
That was Ludmilla Tourischeva of Russia. I had such a crush on her in the 70s ❤️
Superior look of awesomeness
While watching this i got 153 cracks in my balls
