Minimum.. easy. Then again I was born before 95

u/Nat-Luv 11h ago
I was born before 1995, too. I was glad when they finally invented kerning. Things are way easier to read nowadays.
Except for them poor Metal bands. They were led astray by Blackletter (the calligraphy style in OP’s post) and turned to the dark side.

Metal bands? You mean shoe gaze and like 5 percent of black metal bands? Because unintelligible wad of roots is kinda like the unwavering meta.
•
u/Nat-Luv 4h ago
Man, I love me some shoegaze. This is the second post I've engaged in today that led to that specific genre. Gonna be throwing some Cocteau Twins, Catherine Wheel, Lush, Sungaze, Cool Heat, and Swerve Driver on throughout the week. If anyone has a new smalltime shoegaze band to recommend, dm me. I'd love to add them into my rotation.

I was born after 95. I don't know why this would be hard to read. Probably just boomer humour lol

u/noleafclovr 11h ago
no millenial humor. as i am one and am familiar with this script.

u/AllMyFrendsArePixels 9h ago
Just because you can read the word doesn't make the joke itself "millennial humor". We don't make fun of younger generations 'round here; if you do, you're no millennial of mine.

Sure, I know it's "minimum," but it's not helpful that the final "u" and "m" are connected.

Born in 2001, i can read it. But not putting the dot on the i is just lazy.
I was trained on my moms handwriting. The word Unimog would look like from her like Uuiuuog.

u/SizeableBrain 7h ago
My mum was a doctor in Russia.
I still struggle to read her writing, even when she tries to be neat.

u/TheArcher0527 5h ago
Born in 2002 and could read that just fine. Lack of dots is just to fuck with the readers and call them illiterate

Me, as someone who was definitely born post 1995:
"That's an L---wait no, is that an I? And another I? And another I? Wait, is that an M? Or an N? OK, it's an M. And after that---an I? And then two more I's? Or wait, no, that's an N. Great. M-I-N. Screw it, we're just going to say it's MINIMUM."

Honestly I only know it says minimum because of the memes about it. Like, I learned to write in cursive, not in gothic script.
•
u/EllaMcWho 11h ago
As someone trying to learn Russian … I can relate. Russian cursive appears similarly similar.
•
u/GreyFox_KSA 11h ago
As others said: the word is "minimum".
I add that to distinguish between the letters, look at the top / bottom strikes. Aside from the the letter "i" which is composed of one strand, the letters "m"s and "n" have the top strikes connected, whereas the letter "u" has the bottom strikes connected

1995 cutoff is too early, I was born in 96 and they didn't switch over to using computers until I was almost done with school. I would say this should also be familiar to kids born closer to year 2000 depending on your country I guess.

u/EntertainmentTrue588 8h ago
Fun fact, the dot over the i is called a tittle. So Evan is literally asking to see OOOP's tittles

You still dot the i's in cursive, if you did that most people could figure it out.

u/CaptivePlague 9h ago
Typically gothic fonts aren't this bad for this either, the letters are normally a LOT more distinct.

u/Torebbjorn 9h ago
It's very easy to read that...
If it was sloppily written, then it would be harder.

u/TheChunkenMaster 8h ago
I was born 98 but was able to figure it out.
Then again I only saw it because the meme told me there was a word in there. I wouldve assumed it was a bunch of i’s otherwise

My primary school pushed us to do cursive writing, then when I went to a new primary school it was removed bc they didnt want me to write in cursive. Now n then that trait slips into my hand writing

If they dotted the I's it would be much more legible. Or if whoever posted didn't Photoshop out the dots

u/Jie-T-Doll 1h ago
there are clear breakes between the letters. no problem. But if you dont dot your i our teachers would mark it as a mistake

The irony is that the people born before 85 can't read it either, eye become shit when you're old

Ah good ol' engagement bait...
Well I guess here I go engaging again.
Also read it before I read the stupid statement. It ain't hard or apparently just as hard as dotting the i-s for someone.

u/Ambitious_Policy_936 11h ago
Imagine if it was connected at the bottom like real cursive. Not doting each i should be a finable offense

u/Calculon2347 11h ago
Jokes aside, reading old Gothic script is like reading chicken scratch
No wonder italic script dominated it almost everywhere FTW
edit: oh the Gothic script fanboys are fuuuuuuming right now lol

its like they tryna blame us for not being taught that
it's not MY fault my school decided to give me the worst possible teachers for when I was younger so I never ended up learning cursive
edit: misunderstanding, you may laugh at my idiocy
•
•
u/ReluctantChimera 11h ago
There's a version of this where it is actually written in cursive. They don't dot the i's on that one either, because that would completely destroy their little trick.
•
u/RingOfHeavensCall 11h ago
I had no way of knowing anyhow
but the misunderstanding seems kind of understandable? Or am I just plain stupid
