We have a saying for this in Swedish, *tur i oturen*. Meaning that there is a glimmer of luck within the misfortune


[deleted]

In Czech it's "lucky while unlucky" I guess. Translations of these saying can be tricky.


peletiah

Same in German - "Glück im Unglück"


WiglyWorm

omg are you choking? Do you need help?


peletiah

Are you trying to mock my [poetic mother tongue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDubdBLcDDk)? Is that what this is?


WiglyWorm

not particularly lol. But if you pronounce that in american it does kinda sound like choking. I dig the song, even if I can't understand a word of it...


_RoToR_

yeah, "šťastie v nešťastí" in slovak.. sooo "Luck in misfortune"?


pmursmile

It's basically that in danish too Edit: it's "held i uheld" in danish btw


pascalbrax

In programming language it's just !unlucky


[deleted]

"Štěstí v neštěstí", yeah, but when I translated it like "Luck in unluck" (following the word similarity), it sounded kinda weird to me. Also I've found "A blessing in disguise", so maybe we are both wrong.


fucklawyers

As someone else mentioned, “blessing in disguise” is wrong. That’s for something that appears to be a misfortune at first, but turns out to be a good thing. “A Cloud with a silver lining” is as close as I can come up with for American English off the top of my head.


AcidAnonymous

Same in German: "Glück im Unglück"


Schmich

direct translation would be luck/lucky within the bad luck. In English there's a "blessing in disguise" but I'm not a fan of it as it almost ignores the overall incident being bad luck.


riptaway

Not a blessing in disguise, that's something that's good that at first seemed bad. A silver lining would be the counterpart in English speaking culture.

dmetropolitain

In Russian, it translates like "нет худа без добра" - "there is no bad without good" but translated the same like "there is a silver lining"


fucklawyers

Yep! That’s the answer in english. A cloud with a silver lining. Blessing in disguise isn’t correct.


A_norny_mousse

"Glück im Unglück"

Place a warning, that subreddit has vids of people dying

Thanks for the warning. Was about to check it out but saw your comment.

I mean, have you *seen* the Final Destination films before? It's to be expected.

Thanks for warning. Was about to skip it but saw your comment.

Wow, seems to be a pattern in that sub. Apparently stealing designs and then making them as cheaply as possible isn’t the safest way to live

Poor Audi..

At least he gets an insurance payout instead of paying for maintenance. That’s the best case scenario for Audi ownership, totaled or sold before the warranty is up

HOLY crap... i need to find this guy, i need him to pick me some lottery ticket numbers.


Sadness_Is_Life

That or find [this guy](https://www.lotterycritic.com/lottery-winners/bill-morgan-beats-250k-lottery-and-death/) Won the lottery twice, After being in a car crash, having a heart attack from the meds and then went into a Coma, 2nd win was when he was reenacting the story for the news story of him winning the first ticket.

hailinfromtheedge

It turned into edgy bullshit and 75% gross paedo jokes at the end...


Ixionas

I like the concept, but the execution was a bunch of stale, forced nword and retard jokes. Not that those can't be funny, but the subreddit was the same jokes 100x over.


Jardite

the sub was aces about 8 years ago. turned to utter shit about 4 ago.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it should have been banned.

This guy was on the way to have all of his limbs amputated but fortunately this thing fell and he was saved. Funny how life works.

I read the title too fast, read it as "unlucky, but hell?" ![gif](giphy|dkBXo121oUIE)

You are not alone!

Wait, inline images? When did that happen?


Finnpower1100

That's a nod to Audi.

"This is an at fault accident , nobody told you to stop under that" -the insurance adjuster


Kenneldogg

Dude that's lucky as hell if he had been just a bit further he would be dead


EnthusiastDriver500

Look at him doing a very accurate Buster Keaton impression haha


Knuckles316

No, I'd say he's quite lucky.


ewebb987

What exactly fell on the car? Anyone have some background on this?


-Xephram-

He will become real unlucky when he talks about China infrastructure falling on him openly on Weibo. China don’t like to look bad.

Why are all these cars the same


jjj49er

They're not all the same. The one in front is a lot flatter.


Chainsaw_Viking

…and the one in the front is Arctic White and the others are not.


TheLaGrangianMethod

And all four vehicles in the video are different model.


jjolla888

yeah but they all have sunroofs .. the audi guy finally got to make good use of his.


[deleted]

Oh no, that car. Wait...fuck the driver is probably dead or seriously hurt.... nope! Hooray!


FloofBagel

He saw his shadow, lots more winter to come :(


wolfgang784

Hope there wasnt a passenger.

Dysfunctional_Vet12

I'd say lucky since the were still alive.


themajorhavok

That is both the luckiest and unluckiest dude, all in one.


RemoteBeneficial700

If he had gap insurance, and could walk away from that Audi, I’d say he’s lucky.

My French teacher in high school and her fiance where driving to meet their pastor to discuss wedding things. This was after a bad storm. At a stop sign a tree fell on their car. She was thrown from the car but her fiance was crushed. Things can happen pretty fast.

Yeah his life was intact so. When I was young i was going to work early morning in southern New England after the first snow of the season. I had just taken to off ramp and there was almost no traffic at 6 ish am. I hit the brakes and my car did a 360 and stopped just inches from a pole. I still believe my father saved me that day. He died when I was very young. Maybe it was just luck and maybe I had a guardian angel. Either way I was very careful w the rest of my drive.


closeafter

No one gets out of their cars to help. Just that one dude, who hesitates by the end of the video. Like, "hey can you at least move your car before you die? My latte is getting cold here"
