That but grabbing both legs.

Jumping very high beforehand is recommended.

Maybe this?

I know most people know this as a kneel, but one leg is standing. Just gotta somehow get more than 50% of your weight on the standing leg, thus technically resting the back knee, and this would be kneeling, while standing.

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 6 points 7 months ago

It's only half a kneel, so let's just call it eel.

I was thinking this

[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Nah, you've seen NPCs do this.

It sounds like this: https://youtu.be/_GGfz-o5khc

All nationalism is brain rot.

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 20 points 7 months ago

At its best, nationalism in some forms can help unify people from disparate backgrounds into an imagined national identity. Unfortunately, most nationalism rots into division instead. Christian nationalism in the US, Hindu nationalism in India, Nazis in Germany. These all reject members of the physical nation in favor of their crazed fantasy version.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Anti-colonial nationalism is fine actually. Not ideal but it is basically "everyone here regardless of more local culture should unite in a combined struggle to overthrow the oppressors" as opposed to colonial nationalism.

You bend over, because you’re about to get fucked

Patriotism is such a terrible thing in general.

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It can be alright if you think your nation's value are worth preserving. E.g. it is Patriotic to defend your country against a fascit invader that wants to remove your nation's self-determination.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you need to be patriotic to want to defend your country from fascist invaders. That's a purely practical consideration if nothing else.

This violates the US Flag Code.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What if I shape it like the Punisher logo instead?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I want to reply with "fuck yeah!" sarcastically, but it'll almost certainly be taken seriously 'round these parts.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

"murica, fuck yeah!"

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 6 points 7 months ago

Bold of you to assume they care about the flag as anything other than an easily defensible dogwhistle.

Switzerland in shambles

I think these folks have repressed dick sucking fantasies

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 7 months ago

Anyone who has the USA flag on their clothing, vehicle, or other paraphernalia is someone who I will take pains to avoid.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Stand with your knees on the floor? I guess just lay prone on your stomach? PLANK FOR THE PATRIOTISM CROSS!

[–] odium@programming.dev 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

As a Patriot of Family Values, I always plank for the patriot cross and everyone else should too.

Who’s making these rules? Why do you need to assume a certain position when you encounter a special symbol?

Steel or Knand.

I hope US enemies don't find this. They could use it to force US soldiers to stand up during engagements and then force the US soldiers to kneel when they're doing fire and movement.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Geneva Convention Article 39:

  1. It is prohibited to make use of the flags or military emblems, insignia or uniforms of adverse Parties while engaging in attacks or to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations

This one weird trick defeats your enemy in seconds and makes you a war criminal.

Obligatory Flag Code violation notice...

Hoover ominously in the air in a crouching position of course.

Stand for the flag, kneel for the cross, bend over for the government.

Like having cancer and AIDS at the same time.

[–] OmgItBurns@discuss.online 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I could be wrong, but wouldn't AIDS make it way more likely to get cancer? From my uneducated perspective, that seems like it would be a common thing.

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes. It is normal for your body to have some level of cancer cells, but the immune system constantly keeps cancers in check. As the immune system weakens, cancers are more likely to become problematic. There's even a group of cancer that is so much more likely to happen in AIDS patients that they're known as AIDS-related cancers.

Slav squat?

You tear yourself apart!

[–] Scribbd@feddit.nl 4 points 7 months ago

This feels like an infinite power glitch. The paradox that happens after showing this picture to nationalist would probably solve the energy crisis. Which would probably make them angry, which would make more energy.

[–] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

These people are good at mental gymnastics so it must make sense to them somehow.
