I saw this one and was like “oh shit i guess i speak german.”
I still can’t figure out what “ich eil” means or even what language it is
And it’s somehow still an amazing experience despite not knowing a single word
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.
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.
Suffer well, brother.
Wasn’t there even a rage comic about that?
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.
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.
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
I bet he speaks it like the same he doesn’t have to shit.
He went to school in Switzerland. Maybe that explains the Laibach concert.

jokes on you, I have been learning german before lemmy
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 wasn’t! Thanks for the clue!
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 😄
At first it annoyed me slightly but I’ve noticed that I can understand most of them without having to use a translator, so now it’s just free language practice. And deciphering memes is decidedly more fun than taking a course.
Yup, same, I’m enjoying learning German this way now
Und ich lerne Englisch vor allem durch eure Michmichs ^^
I blocked all the German instances because I couldn’t understand them anyway.
Edit:
Apparently a solution to the problem offends them lmao, didn’t realize me seeing posts I can’t comprehend was so important to these goofballs.
Get good and learn a little German you silly American
I don’t have time energy or fucks to give when it comes to that sorry, it’s nothing against German I took German in highschool but I’m not trying to do that just so I can doomscroll in another language
你应该学学外语吧。
Gesundheit!
谢谢！I just learned to use “应该” from you haha. I wouldn’t mind seeing more random Chinese around here!
我本来打算学一些德语，但是，我也懂英语，我当看到你的 Username 的时候，我也在想：“这管你屁事？”
还有，我没有用翻译的软件。
(I was going to learn some German, but, I also know English, and when I saw your Username, I was thinking: “This is none of your bussiness”
Also, I did not use translation tools for this, can you say the same?)
😉
As a German, completely understandable
Artikuliere auf deutsch, du Sohn einer Fachfrau für Selbstvermarktung
Ich dachte das nennt sich Geschlechtsteilvermietungsfachpersonnachkomme?
Mieten sind i.d.R. nicht so kurzfristig, weshalb die bevorzugte Bezeichnung “Geschlechtsteildienstleistungsfachpersonalabstämmling” ist. Ebenso versichert “Abstämmling” im Gegensatz zu “Nachkomme” die leibliche Verwandtschaft.
I did the same. Will do until the apps integrate translation.
Will do until I get bored with Lemmy altogether
Apparently a solution to the problem offends them lmao, didn’t realize me seeing posts I can’t comprehend was so important to these goofballs.
That’s German humour
Your loss.
Come on, loss is so over.
Tja, keine Maimais für dich du doofmann
Google translates this as “no mail for you” is that correct? Does mail here mean any kind of communication?
I do like learning “doofmann” since where I’m from you might call someone a doof if they’re stupid.
Das ist ser schön!
Haha I wake up pretty early in the US and see a lot of the German content. I have learned a lot about tables recently.
Still new here. But I haven’t come across any German instances yet….
Are you browsing all?
Hi
I use Google translate to bridge the language barrier and I’m happy to do so. Some of their memes are top class.
