That's a croissant, not a Paris brest

Oh I was just thinking chess, but not a specific move within chess.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm out of the loop, can someone catch me up on the holy hell thing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

En passant has always been the most obscure chess rule, in online chess it's often reported as cheating. Which resulted in a lot of people saying "google en passant", on an unkown lemmy clone someone realising it's an actual chess move replied, holy hell, and a meme was born.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Chess on French pastry?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago (1 children)

En passant on a croissant

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nice try, but that's definitely not it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nope, he's right, it's a rather outdated move that I use to use in middle school to piss people off.

Google croissant

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Is that a new service from them where you can learn to make French pastry?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Fun fact: the French call it pastry from Vienna (viennoiserie)

[–] octoperson 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

bxa3 on a pastry

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Holy hell.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

I'm not sure if this counts, since all French just sounds to me like it rhymes with "croissant" ?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Holy pastry!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Where did the other white piece go?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Google en-passant

[–] Grandwolf319 5 points 9 months ago

Holy hell!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I'm not gonna say the thing, but I did google it and learned something I didn't know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

But what's the point of trading pieces? Now B2 just gonna take A3, or am I missing something?

Vous avez entendu parler d'elf on the shelf, maintenant préparez-vous pour en passant sur le croissant.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Évidemment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Ah, yes, En Croissant. Very important maneuver.
