> persistent kidney disappointment (CKF) Guess why the acronym doesn't match. It's called chronic kidney disease (CKD). Yeah the acronym is wrong too.

#93Nothing beats when, in a chemistry paper, AI paraphrased „the final solution” into „the mass killing of an ethnic group”. “Subsequently, 1 mL of the mass killing of an ethnic group was opposed to 20 mL of the skin sample and unprotected to light for 7 min.” From: https://bsky.app/profile/forbetterscience.bsky.social/post/3...

#98Most of these are authored by what appear to be non-native English speakers. So, the most likely explanation is a translation issue. In engineering literature from Russia from the 1960s, one sometimes finds references to a ‘water goat’ in papers that are otherwise about heavy machinery. It turns out this is a twice-translated rendition of ‘hydraulic ram’.
That's on par with this (apocryphal) translation of "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" "The vodka was good, but the meat was rotten."

Hey, it's not that easy to chose between "водяной баран" and "гидравлический таран", you know. My favourite example of troubled blind translation is still "naked conductor runs under the carriage".
Nice double entendre but it seems to be a perfectly valid description of electrical wiring in a machine? What was the original intent?
