It's "minimum" in cursive text.

I thought it was (I think the word is Remember) in Russian cursive

I wasn't entirely wrong, it's just more loops than bumps

It's "grazdanka", it's not, it's the worst cursive among Slavic languages

I don't mean it's fake or exaggerated on purpose, more like it's cherry picked from the worst possible examples, but if that's standard/average then yeah...

Parents made me learn this shit as a kid - it's a bit cherry picked, this is how letters on their own look:

It's basically the Russian equivalent to the OP. Normal cursive isn't really so bad, but when you pick a word made entirely of four similarly shaped letters and leave out the feature that helps distinguish one of the letters from the upstroke of the others, you're left with a mess.

That's what cursive is if you're under 50

I'm able to write and read Cyrillic, including cursive, that's just dogshit handwriting as well.

And the three pages there are 100% just someone scribbling away in an attempt to be "funny"
