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.
I still can’t figure out what “ich eil” means or even what language it is
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.
And it’s somehow still an amazing experience despite not knowing a single word
Ich iel is a german acronym for “meirl”
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.
Oh, I didn’t know Kim Jong- un can speak German
He went to school in Switzerland. Maybe that explains the Laibach concert.

Kind of fed up with this “meme”
The meme format i have no problems with, it’s the content in it, yeah we get it, Germans use Lemmy.
Thanks for the meme, much appreciated 😄
I saw this one and was like “oh shit i guess i speak german.”
You guys are aware you can filter by language in the settings of your Lemmy account, right?
That’s like the most useless setting ever because nobody enforces the language while commenting
I speak spanish and I feel like I’m fouble dipping in the fun. But once I tried diving into a german thread with the help of translators. Boy they were SAVAGE some shit was like “He got another dick surgery probaly wants to suck it himself at this point.” Idk who says german have no sense of humor but man that’s wrong AF.
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.
Also non-Americans trying to browse Lemmy during work…
I really wish I could understand German humour
German human is no laughing matter.
No, we are talk8ng about “Muricans” … most of them are thinking that these people need to learn English.
Have yet to see that opinion voiced except by you!
Yes, so many right wing Americans on Lemmy
I never see any German posts, what am I doing wrong?
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.
Not browsing All nearly enough
Das ist ser schön!
If it helps: “Tisch” is table in German and Feta is a greek cheese. => Feta + Tisch = Fetisch, but actually “Fetisch” has a complete different meaning on its own (eng.:“fetish”) so its a play on words. Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk.
That makes much more sense than “tofu table”
Wehe, irgendwer plaudert, Jungs/Mädels/Diverse.
