A shtikel inyona diyoma, tarti bilibi to be masbir the minhag haoilam and I think we can klehr a chakira, with two valid tzaddidm:
1) When there’s no tach’nun, chazal changed the response to “hamvareich es amo yisroel basholom” from “amen” to “amen yisgadal”
2) Uder nain, avaddai the response is the same, nur vuss there was a new takkanah to also say, “yisgadal”
or, I’m just thinking now, maybe we can say a third tzad, that there’s always a din to say the next word of davenin (I refuse to add the customary g), and on a day when there’s tachanun, that’s mekuyam by saying Vayoimer (or, nusach s’fard, elokeinu (unless eloheinu is part of the two-thirds that they skip)) or, on Shabbos afternoons, tzidkascha, but on days when there’s no tach’nun it’s yisgadal.
Another Chakira:
The smallest measurable unit of time is reputed to be the amount of time between when a traffic light in NYC turns green and the car behind you honks.
I always thought it was the amount of time between when the chazan finishes chazaras hashatz and some fool shouts yisgadal on a non-Tachanun day.
Are these actually one and the same, or is one in fact shorter than the other? Does there exist equipment sophisticated enough to measure?
catch yourself: are you part of the cr discworlders club?

Honestly, I never even heard of discworld, and I do not understand what about my post would make you think so.
Catch yourself, nowadays people are too busy texting to honk their horn right away when the light turns
cy: As showjoe says, it really all involves kingons and queons.
and lord and ladies 😉
I’m completely lost with the whole discworld thing.
42, I guess that’s to say nothing of what they’re doing during chazaras hashatz…
catch yourself:
It’s basically a disc, on four elephants which are on a giant turtle.
Sounds great, but what does it have to do with this thread?
Basically, we’re trying to revive the old contest trying to derail (or at least temporarily reroute) threads with references to Sir Terry Pratchett’s 40+ book masterpiece.
Discworld is an amazing series.
If you want to know where you went wrong :), it was just mentioning the smallest measurable amount of time- on the Discworld, it was determined that the smallest amount of time measurable must be the amount of time between when the last king dies and his heir becomes king (before coronation- just by virtue of inheritance). The philosopher who deduced this, Ly Tin Wheedle, then deduced further the existence of the particles kingons and queons and owuld have gone even further if the bars hadn’t closed.
i also believe that in the footnotes of “Lords and Ladies” Terry Pratchett actually invents the new york second
“* The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic light turning green and the cab behind you honking”
-Terry Patchett, Lords and Ladies
showjoe: *blushes*
Considering how much I love that book, the fact that I didn’t remember that is super embarrassing.
I knew I remembered it from SOMEWHERE…
