I always try to decipher their memes because they look funny.
Whenever I can figure one out through context I feel like a genius
Or when you try to read a word aloud and realize it’s basically the same as the English word with 50% more consonents.
That’s the meme. They translate English expressions, names and brands into German 1:1, disregarding any standing idioms and available translations. Hard to read even as a German native. Struggling to figure out what to OP meant is like 90% of the fun.
Haha, I remember trying to tell a German colleague that another colleague was ‘ingverklerten’ because he had red hair, apparently the German word for ginger is not used to represent colour. Almost as popular as our attempt to call someone a ‘glockenende’ when they had been foolish. Sounds like I should look into ich_iel a bit.
What you should tell your German colleague about the ginger is “Wo das Dach rostig ist, ist der Keller feucht.”
But also; rusty crotch, pubes like 13A fuse wire
Fun fact: pubes have the same color as someone’s eyebrows.
What even is ich_iel?
Me_irl but german.
It’s better because every post with an English word gets
SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN
as a response
And yet when I try to SPRICH DEUTCH to actual live Germans they give me a pitying look and firmly reply in perfect English
perfect English
Such a thing does not exist in Germany.
Fr fr these guys look like some top tier shit posters.
I speak German and I can confirm, top-tier stuff.
German jokes are the wurst.
I studied German in high school but I don’t remember any of it. I like to pretend that ich_iel is just using made up nonsense words, like the Swedish Chef muppet.

We’re more into dumb sturgeon puns.
That means you should start /c/moi_dlvv
Tbh I’ve kind of forgetten what little French I managed to learn earlier, so this wouldn’t work for me either
I’m in the same boat with German sadly. Trying to relearn some though. Ich habe fast alles vorgessen.
Deutsch vergeht, die MaiMais bleiben.
Geben sie mir senf und sauerkraut zu dem bratwurst 😎
Boah, Bayern muss echt an Österreich angeschlossen werden.
Wir nehmen’se gern, vastehn tu ma uns, und se wissen wie ma Bier trinkt.
Ich bin nicht eine Kartofel !
Ich bin eine kleine auflauf
I’m legit considering getting back to learning German to understand their memes, they look so juicy
I especially liked their sausage starter kit (can’t find the meme now)
You don’t miss that much. They are trying to do edgy dank memes in german. The “culture” they represent is quite white and cleasend from migrant humor.
Its the german version of these alt right pepe memes.
Seriously, you missed nothing.
Well tell me how exactly a non white culture is supposed to emerge in a country with a non existent colored population, or am i missing some specific meaning here ?
Listen Nazi smooog.
We have 5 Million turks (1st and 2nd gen), 1 Million Syrians and 1 million from all over west Asia and Africa. Out of ~50M adults
w€ aRe sUCH a WhiTE cuLtUrE
Yes thats about 14% of the population ehich are living mostly in cities and usually in blocks with very high percentage of immigrants and very little exchange. I would see it more as living on the same turf than living together… No shared culture emerges from that
Also stop pushing people into categories because you dont like their opinions
Yeah those stupid migrants risked EVERYTHING to come here and live and ghetto’s and push weed.
Reality is, they arent allowed to work, and even if they have a job, only german last names get flats in german neighborhoods. And there is actual law which allows racism in that regard. Systematic rasicm is woven with old German racial thinking.
The boxes are fine. You and iel fit well in the neo-nazi box :)
You just said the majority was turks, last time i checked turkey wasn’t that bad.
If you need a simple abstraction like those neonazis and us rightful fair progressives or whatever you probably have a simple personality which fits just as well in in of those boxes. Its probably hard to perceive complexity in this position…
Awaiting your enraged answer with amusement, clearly superior person of the internet
Of course it enrages me. Discrimination sucks and I enjoy pointing it out. Idc if you like it or not :)
Quote exactly from MY comments where i wrote something saying " immigrants are bad" or similar…
Edit if you take this seriosly im actally wondering
How is it “cleasend”? Did you mean “cleansed”?
I mean the community is very male and white dominated but not excluding anyone. And more self referential than edgy. What even makes it edgy??
No its obvious that I meant cleasend. 👀
I’m still not sure what exactly you mean but I would love to see immigrant culture on ich_iel and I think most others do too! It’s not that the community is hostile or anything and people who don’t speak German or things explained when they ask.
How could the community be more inclusive? What would you suggest? Or where do you see active hostility?
They are hostile. There are anti migrant dog whistles all over the sub and a lot more on reddit.
German discrimination is always very “under the hood” and highly sophisticated. You cant be “right and proud” due to the holocaust.
The reality is that the second strongest party has roots to the old NSDAP.
Citation needed
Sure. Any specific fact :) ?
Maybe how a community that has quite a number of anti-CDU memes is dogwhistling nazi code. That the community is German isn’t enough to say it is nazi. You can link posts and explain the dogwhistles or maybe decode some common dogwhistles without link. I’m curious to lern the NS background of surgeons.
Edit: For starters here is one opposed to the AfD: https://feddit.org/post/934777

You are yet to give me one example or argument or piece of evidence for your bold claims.
French is so difficult to learn because of the pronunciation. Spanish is much easier to learn in comparison. I don’t get why all school in Germany prefer French as third language before Spanish.
The most populated region at war times was West Germany. It was governed by France after war.
I have no idea if this is actually the reason but we are incredibly thankful for restoring our country by our french friends - which we harassed and killed beforehand.
They still got up to the job.
For me it’s Dutch. The Dutch own late night Lemmy for me and I want to know what I’m missing.
I’ve picked up on Overleden though :(
Dutch looks like someone got really drunk and tried to combine English and German.
No umlauts, just keep adding vowels and it’s more or less done isn’t it?
