Which has a very bad reputation. Yet 99.9% of it involves fresh air, great views, a sense of freedom only birds know and people still only focus on that 0.1% at the end.
Falling/getting thrown out of the window doesn’t suck. Stopping and landing does
Well then don't land. Are people stupid?
I mean, it won't kill you, but it definitely would suck
Right? And you know it must be fun because all the Russian Oligarchs seem to die from it whenever Putin needs money!
For some reason I seem to recall it being associated with ending rich people.
Probably why it gets a bad rep
It’s the number 1 cause of death by Russian Oligarchs, number 2 being polonium poisoning. Weird huh?
Ooh, I'm not caught up on my Russian oligarch lore.
It seems a lot of them fall out of windows after they piss off Putin

correct! extra point if you didn't look that up

Always thought it was weird that English has a word specifically for throwing someone out of a window.
According to Wikipedia, the term was in use in other languages before it was taken in English
Yep!! It’s actually an interesting little story behind the word.
It's because it's French
It's weird that any language does, really.
It's French. Guillotine was already taken.
No, it's Latin.
yep
that's only when it happens in czechia
Sudden Russian Death Syndrome.
Putin's Promotion.
wait really
I mean, these are pretty specific to Russian journalists/dissenters being killed by the state (the KGB really enjoys defenstration over there), but yeah.
oh ok that's neat
I needed that information actually
Well that's random.
2nd floor, serious injury is more likely than death if you have an ok landing. It's the bullet holes in the head that are the likely cause of death.
M2 Browning .50 Caliber machine gun is the most accurate and lethal if you want to deal serious blows.
Defecation
going peter thiel mode
I’m 99% sure the word sounds like the word where you’re removing woods
deforestation
That's for when you throw Forrest Whittaker out of a second story window.
what
THAT'S FOR WHEN YOU THROW FORREST WHITTAKER OUT OF A SECOND STORY WINDOW.
ok ok ok chill
