Gotta say, I love reading the German memes in /all, even if I have a kindergarten-level understanding of German.
No idea WTF is happening on ich iel half the time but it seems hilarious.
Neither have I, and I'm German. But that's part of why it's so appealing
Zangendeutsch is killing me though. I’m a native English speaker living in Germany and it’s difficult not to internalize fake internet German
Was heißt denn hier fake?!
I don't speak or read German but every once in a while a meme will have a critical mass of words I understand because of their proximity to English, and the German 100% amplifies the meme.
I love the serendipitous use of kindergarten, with it being of German origin :)
I thought it was planned, haha.
In my experience, the mental effort spent trying to understand the German in a meme makes the comedic payout better
I fully agree, lol. I browse ich_iel with reading glasses and a dictionary
