Real "Send three and fourpence we are going to a dance" energy there. Did someone dictate it into something set for the wrong language?
Mayor Snorkum would approve.

@cstross Being careful in time of death is overrated anyway, but the pacclabmech... really? That's too much.

@cstross Don't be so careful in time of death. Do you want to muhym forever?

@cstross is that OK that I can actually read and understand the whole instruction and the third sentence in particular?

@cstross I want all warning labels to start with "Come on, please!"

@cstross I'm pretty sure the original was in Russian. "muhym" is misinterpreted "минут", ie. "minutes" (in handwriting Cyrillic и looks exactly like Latin u and н looks like n) etc.
@blotosmetek
Okay, but that would mean that what happened here wasn't just a straight Russian to English text translation.Instead it would seem that there's been an image with Russian text which then was read in with some dumb OCR software that had no understanding of cyrillic alphabet.
Then the already broken Russian langauge was translated to English resulting in even more broken English.

@cstross@shadowdancer @cstross exactly so! Probably with some effort, even with my very rusty Russian, I could recreate the original text…
