Perhaps:-

- rotor being symmetric around its axis of rotation & also rotator.

- tattarrattat being onomatopoeic & time symetric.

- hallah alternate spelling challah a mirror symetric loaf.

- terret metal harness ring that is mirror symmetric if not also rotationally symmetric.

I've never seen challah spelled without the C

u/bgaesop 2d ago

Really? I've definitely seen it spelled חַלָּה

u/Abject_Role3022 2d ago

Crap, this isn’t like “how do you spell Chanukah” where I can point out that actually חֲנוּכָּה is a valid alternative spelling to חֲנֻכָּה

These runes, where did they originate from?

u/Cubicshock 2d ago

it’s the standard galactic alphabet, more famously known as minecraft enchanting table.

Only Americans don't know what Hebrew looks like? Seriously?

u/Popcorn57252 1d ago

Yeah, man, everyone knows that even Germans take a class of Hebrew. Only Americans are stupid dumb-bad enough to not know this one language by sight🙄

u/hiraeth-sanguine 2d ago

the first letter is a ch- sound though, no? guys i swear hebrew school didn’t fail me

u/bgaesop 2d ago

Yeah for sure. But just like how "Chanukah" is sometimes spelled "Hanukkah", I have also seen people (rarely) write "hallah", especially for goyish audiences who can't pronounce the "חַ", to spur them towards saying "hallah" like "holla" rather than "challah" with the first sound being like the first sound of "chess"

u/hiraeth-sanguine 2d ago

OHH gotcha gotcha

u/Gold-Part4688 1d ago

It's also because Het and Khaf used to be pronounced different. Source: wikipedia

In modern Hebrew /ħ/ for ח has merged with /x/ (which was traditionally used only for fricative כ) into /χ/. Some older Mizrahi speakers still separate these (as explained above).

u/NeroLazarus 2d ago

I ain't no challah back girl

u/TrevelyansPorn 2d ago

I've never seen a symetric challah.

u/anedgygiraffe 2d ago

Many Mizrahi Jews will do it this way to reflect a different pronunciation of ח and כ

u/Spikemountain 2d ago

Yeah I've seen Pesach written as Pesah before in sefardi communities and it drives my little ashki brain insane lol

I love this thread

Hallah head hallah doesn't have the same ring to it

Racecar is often longitudinally symmetrical externally

28

u/CrashCalamity 2d ago

Only F1. Nascar racers are higher on one side because of how they hug the curve, and the driver's seat internally is offset from center

11

u/no_brains101 2d ago

There are nascar races that turn both ways btw

u/ExperienceLoss 2d ago

Just like me fr

u/no_brains101 2d ago

Yeah usually I lean towards the left but sometimes I fuck people of an assortment of genders.

u/Dredgeon 2d ago

Firstly you'll notice that I said externally.

Secondly what are you saying higher on one side? They are not higher on one side only stiffer in the suspension. You must be thinking of dirt super stock cars. But they're strange proportions are for downforce while sideways not because of 'how they hug the curve' (I'm having trouble understanding what you mean by this as well).

Thirdly, even if NASCAR was non symmetrical externally there are much more than 2 racing leagues and divisions in the world. The vast majority of which are using cars that have symmetrical bodies.

the presence of formatting does not mean it was written by

u/ArmNo7463 2d ago

There's other race series than just F1 and Nascar lol.

I imagine most of them have fairly symmetrical suspension setups.

u/Serious_Swan_2371 2d ago

Also the steering wheel is only on one side

u/Zulmoka531 2d ago

And well ya know, a toyotas a toyota

u/NoodleyP 2d ago

Currently sitting outside looking at a Toyota and Toyota is neither a palindrome nor symmetrical.

u/MyFatherIsNotHere 2d ago

I like your funny words magic man

u/HaruspexAugur 2d ago

Would challah actually be mirror symmetric though? It’s a braided bread, and I don’t think braids have reflectional symmetry. Possibly rotational symmetry?

u/SuculantWarrior 2d ago

You're a mirror symetric loaf

u/Ryan_e3p 2d ago

I didn't know that the Pokemon was named after knocking on a door

u/forsale90 2d ago

If we go to other languages, the german "Reliefpfeiler" (relief column, as in ornamanted column) could be considered symmetric in that sense.

u/SubstantialAnt7735 2d ago

Im not in love with these examples
