    Also learn everything about Linux so I can get all these Linux memes that keep popping up. And learn to program so I can get all the programmer memes.

    Back when this meme format was making the rounds on 4chan, I always saw it as a guy with a really long Fu Manchu moustache and to this day I still can’t unsee it.

      That’s how I’ve always seen it too. Your comment just now made me realize that those are his forearms.

      You have ruined the Internet and memes for me forever now. I hope you’re happy.

    Ich habe vier Jahre auf Deutsch gelernt, aber mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht.

    Honestly, I couldn’t even remember if Deutsch was feminine, masculine, or neuter… but my pronunciation has always been spot on at least. I should just pick it back up, it’d be mostly vocab grind for me at this point. But I last learned years and years ago… dang, almost 18 years now.

    I’ve been doing German on Duolingo for over a year and I can get about 20% of the content they post, so I’m pretty happy to have an actual use for the work I put in.

      Ich im echten Leben.

      They take English and translate it word for word in a very literal fashion. It’s very difficult to understand for regular Germans because you kinda need to know the original English sayings to make sense of it.

    Good choice. Nobody who speaks German could be an evil man.

    As a side benefit, you will also be able to converse with Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, and Robert Terwilliger.

      They have a great sense of humor. It’s just that when it’s time to be serious (at work, meeting a stranger, out in public), they act serious.

        Fun facts about Germany: No fun in Germany. Get back to work!

        However, German humour is very special. Me, as a German, I love it.

      Go to your profile settings. There should be a list of languages you can select. Depending on the interface you use, Ctrl+Click may do the trick of selecting multiple languages. Then save.
