Let's be fair to Yandex Translate, because fairness is what separates us from people who smash the dislike button on perfectly good test just because they didn't understand it.
Yandex Translate is a wonderful invention! And it can help. Genuinely. It's a tool, and tools work — when there's a mind holding them. Used with your brain switched on, it will give you the meaning of a word, untangle a phrase, and get you out of a tight spot at 2 a.m. when the word "nevertheless" is staring at you.
Disclosure!!!
Here's the disclosure:
Let's imagine it's a dictionary.
And that's the whole point of this post, wrapped up in one sentence: the translator is not the problem — trusting it blindly is. Use it as a dictionary. Let it hand you the words, and then you build the meaning.
One word.
And I can repeat!
You can use Yandex Translate. Just use it with your mind. Otherwise you're not reading the test — you're reading the robot's opinion of the test, and the robot has no opinion, only a dictionary. It is absolutely ridiculous!
So, let it go!
It is not that complicated!
And one last thing. If you are reading this post right now through a translator, just know that you have understood nothing. Not the jokes, not the irony, not the point. The mirror has been held up to the mirror, and both of them are confused.
Learn English, come back and read it in English. You can do this!
I hope I made it sound easy.
Thank you for understanding.
P.S. If you're a native-speaker who has read this whole thing anyway, I told you it didn't concern you. But thanks for coming. I hope you enjoyed reading this pain.

Hi everyone. I actually wanted to be a judge for this contest. I should say right off the bat that I’m not really into adult content-in fact, I don’t like it at all. Anyway, thanks to everyone who votes for me.
Today I decided to try out a famous experiment! The idea is that we’ll get an infinite chocolate bar! I’ve never tested this before; even though it’s a well-known myth, I’m sure it’s a lie!
The way I saw it, you first need to cut it like this...
Then we'll cut it like this. And then we need to move these two pieces.
Guys, this actually works! I couldn't even believe it—I don't get how? Alright, let me go through the whole cycle, and then we'll see how it turned out.
This is what happened in a minute. I'll continue doing this for another 10.
Guys, I'm really scared. What if the Israeli government notices this and kills me? I don't want to die! I'm going to hire bodyguards! Bye, everyone!!!

Silent films, which dominated the cinema from its inception until the late 1920s, offer a unique and captivating glimpse into the early days of filmmaking. They are not just historical artifacts but also a testament to the creativity and innovation of early filmmakers. If you’re new to silent films and wondering where to start, this guide will introduce you to the genres, key films, notable actors, and directors that defined this era.
Silent films are movies without synchronized recorded sound. Dialogue, emotion, and action are conveyed through title cards, gestures, facial expressions, and body language. The lack of sound might seem limiting, but it forced filmmakers to be more creative with visual storytelling, leading to the development of many techniques still used in filmmaking today.
Silent films spanned a wide range of genres, each with its own characteristics and masterpieces.
1. Comedy
Description: Comedy was one of the most popular genres in silent films. It often relied on physical humor and slapstick, making it accessible to audiences worldwide.

When I saw these mascots for the first time in winter, I thought, "What the ****?!"
But it turned out to be an Easter egg for the French Revolution. It's a really subtle reference, not everyone will understand what kind of headdress it is.
Frigs
The inattentive ones think, what's the difference between Frig Junior and the Older one, and I'll say: the Younger One has a prosthetic leg and red sneakers instead of one leg, and the Older One has white sneakers.
Oh, well, they also have different emblems - the Younger one has a Paralympic symbol on the emblem, and the Older one has an Olympic one.
The loot can be raised on two Friggies, because the bottom difference, Oh MY GOD, is in one leg!!!
Not bad, but they could have been more creative 7/10

That's a drawing, a style like Foxina's! We can't draw eyes, so there are black dots.
I don't know how to translate "Flo", but as I understand it, these are small flowers.
Flo
The fleets look like characters from a social block cartoon from the 60s, but not for 2026. Well, it's not 2026 now, suddenly, in 2026 it will be relevant.
The fleeces look very cute here, obviously they were concept art, they immediately look like an animated series. Perhaps there will also be an animated series based on them, just like with Vinicius and Tom (in 2022 I watched series about these two, 32 episodes, they were drawn by the cartoon network!)
Tina is a white rodent, since I'm not a biologist, I have no idea what kind of animal it is. And do you know what makes Tina different from Milo? Right!
Milo has no leg again! Maybe they'll explain to the Olympics designers that Paralympians don't just have legs? They don't have hands, or eyesight, or much else.
Okay, well, Tina and Milo are really cute here.
They are cute. 10/10
