rail 🦊Until a few years ago in Poland there used to be a local bus line 666 to Hel, but the number was changed after Catholics complained 🙄
Now Flixbus opened a line 666 from Kraków to Hel, so it's finally back ;3

『 Fristi, enjoyer of Kosuzu 』@rail does it play AC/DC's Highway to Hell during the trip?

zhenech@rail They could also bring back AY666 from CPH to HEL if they started an airline: https://yle.fi/a/3-9883118
Finnish flag carrier Finnair retires apocalyptic Friday 13th Flight 666 to HEL
Superstitious folk will no doubt breathe a sigh of relief as national airline Finnair announced the retirement of its infamous Friday 13th flight, AY 666 to HEL. The flight, which originates in Copenhagen and lands in Helsinki, touched down for the last time on Friday. However passengers can still fly from SIN to HEL.

Aslak Raanes@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] yes its been a fair while since i've been reading up on any linguistics but i think that's part of the reason when the bible got translated from greek -> latin -> english they used the word 'hell' cause it was pretty hellish to cross, and the etymology of the word also has meanings like hidden, sinister (people were 'hidden' after getting swallowed up by the sea, washed overboard or boat sank).
fun fact 'holland' is descended from the same word too.

Michael Giesler@rail what about a metal festival in Hel, called "Hel Fest", so that metal fans can travel with line 666.
I think there's is quite some potential in this idea.
DJGummikuh@rail Flixbus, the journey to Hel is already hell 👍️

This reminds me to an occasion a few years ago when we wanted to go by ferry from Gdánsk to Hel and I went to the ticket office saying: "Two tickets to Hel, please."

DamonHD@el_ulri @rail A friend of mine in the US was able to buy a one way ticket (bus) to Paradise, though the ticket seller had clearly had that request a *few* times before...
(The ticket was from Virginville via Intercourse, though a bad turn would have had them in Blue Ball...)
(MOAR EDITZ: it's only a few minutes from Intercourse to Paradise it seems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yESBVlvuE_s )
Lancaster County, PA Drive! Intercourse to Paradise!

0xC0DEC0DE07EA@rail not even a direct route, probably makes multiple stops
UkeleleEric@c0dec0dec0de @rail isn't that always the case, though? The road to Hel is paved with good intentions...
@UkeleleEric @rail in my experience, those don’t wear well.

Megan Lynch (she/her)@rail That's so weird to me. I was raised Catholic and "666" was strictly some pop culture horror movie bullshit.
I once worked somewhere they directed me to skip making files in alphanumeric when they contained "666" and I laughed my ass off until the person, with no smile at all, let me know they were very serious about it.
They were evangelical Protestant.
Adam Wysokiński@rail Slightly off the topic, the original number of the beast was 616, not 666. For some vague reason it was later changed to 666 in the Book of Revelation. A good example of how they ensure the accuracy of their "holy" scriptures.
@adam_wysokinski @rail it's even more complex than that. Many of the numerical & symbolic references in the 'Apocalyptic' books are obscure, not helped by translation. It's just a certain branch of (mainly American) protestant evangelical churches have tried to pin everything down to a particular meaning, without actually looking at the point of the story in its broad sweep. In Hebrew, &, to an extent, NT Greek, things CAN mean more than one thing at the same time without it being contradictory.

Iván Sánchez Ortega@rail We gotta send a petition to AtB in Norway to change the number of line 430.
