A French child is never late nor are they early, they arrive when they precisely mean to 🇫🇷🥖

Please place them gently in the collection chute.

[-] ChewTiger@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

Why don't they just let the kids in? Who cares if they are a little late. Life's complicated, shit happens.

"Tardiness" rules always struck me as pedantic bullshit. "Nope. You're here 3 seconds after the bell rang. Now, miss more class to go get a late slip from the office."

Read the article about this and the policy seems really really dumb. If parents miss the 8:30am deadline they have to wait until 10am. So they have to waste an hour and a half of their day because a school administrator can't be arsed to walk to the gate and take the child inside?

Like if parents are resorting to throwing their child over a 6ft tall fence maybe take a look at your policies that are making people resort to that?

Not to excuse the parents, cuz they're dumb too.

How light are French children that you can throw them over an 6 foot tall fence

[-] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 30 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Little practice and a decent hammer throw technique your average adult ought to be able to get higher than a six foot arc with 50lbs. Trick is to grab em by the ankles, looking them in the eye is incredibly distracting.

Or just solongeybowser them

I prefer The Trunchbull's Olympic hammer throw method:

Amazing. Just be sure not to aim for the bombs

Elementary kids? 50-70 pounds. Oh wait we want kilos. With cheese.

[-] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 7 points 10 months ago

French children are typically the size of human children. This might be surprising from an US perspective.

American obesity is a plague spreading here to Canada too

[-] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

They are full of hot air like all Frensh people...

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 10 months ago

It's from the Baguettes.

You can't lift your child?

[-] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You're telling me you can lift a 50 pound child over your head and toss them? Multiple times a week?

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

I can lift a 50 pound weight over my head, multiple times in a row. I'm not sure how these parents are actually doing it, I assume the kids climb over, and the parents aren't actually yeeting them.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Frère ou sœur, est-ce que tu soulèves au moins?

[-] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Well I ain't deadlifting toddlers

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 7 points 10 months ago

Don’t tell the English.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

How strong is Aragorn that he could toss a dwarf, who are stout and heavy? He must have some elvish strength enhanced jewelry.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Aragorn is a Dunedain, a superior race of humans who were blessed by the gods (before Sauron caused their downfall). That's why he's the rightful king, and why he has such impressive feats of strength, intelligence and courage.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Where do the books detail that? I've read them, but I never caught that before. I thought the Dunedin were just another ethnicity of men. That's pretty cool though.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It's most throughly detailed in The Silmarillion, but you'll find some scattered references to Númenor in the main trilogy. Essentially, the Númenorians were deceived by Sauron shortly before their end, but some refused to abandon Eru (god), and were blessed

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Oh, I haven't read the Silmarillion or the Hobbit yet! Are they good books? Idk why I stopped at just the trilogy, considering how much I loved them.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

They're outstanding books, if you enjoyed LotR – beware, though, that the Hobbit is a bit more childish and Silmarillion is somewhat disjointed if taken as a single story (it's more of a collection of different stories)

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Great! I'll start on them when I finish the Worldwalker series that I'm reading right now. Which should I read first?

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

IMO, start with The Hobbit, that way you can get a better look into Tolkien's mind before plunging into his legendarium.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Oop! Too late. I started The Silmarillion last night!

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Haha, I hope you enjoy it. Good reading!
