I mean I was planning to visit in the next couple of years anyway I guess…
Don’t learn german. As a german I always feel sorry for people who learn this language just for 80 million old people ^^
As a german I have to say learn whatever language you want, even if nobody speaks it.
Ok, I’m learning QBASIC
You should rather learn FORTRAN and make a lot of cash at some bank ;)
Most of the classic big financial tech mainframes actually run on COBOL, at least in Europe. Though even those are very slowly being replaced, mostly by Java. Still, freelancers with COBOL specialty do rake in huge sums. It’s not only about the rare tech skills ( COBOL isn’t worse or harder than other languages, it’s just old and thus simple), it’s about having those skills combined with a sufficiently high security clearance.
Does anyone know what is the deal with the images (I assume it’s some kind of German meme) of people or characters with instant ramen on their head?
Might be the wrong answer, but I think it’s kind of a signature of the creator… Sth with insta in his name
Ding ding ding You are Correct!! :D All the memes with instant noodels are from me. Its my signature. :)
It is
@[email protected] one of the more prolific ich_iel denizens.
The noodles are just my signature. So just ignore the noodels. They have nothing todo with the meme directly. I just place them on the head of whoever in the meme is me.
Haha all this time I thought it was some widespread cultural reference. Thanks for all the OC!
No problem. Sadly in the last time I post less because I kinda made all of my meme ideas haha
Creativity comes and goes. I don’t like the internet’s culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back
The auntiverse
just remember that ich_iel has a lot of fun with literal translations of english words which can lead to very weird german.
Nur erinnere, dass ich_iel ein Los des Spaßes mit literarischen Übersetzungen von englischen Wörtern hat, was zu seltsamen Deutsch bleien kann.
lmao bleien
This will all just lead to an increase in suffering 😢
Dies wird alles gerecht bleien zu einem innenschmalz in Leiderei 😢
Schmalz ist aber grease, nicht crease. Also Innenfalz vielleicht…
Stimmt, ich hatte einfach nur phonetisch “übersetzt” weil es lustig klang - aber ein paar Stunden danach ist mir auch wieder eingefallen, dass “crease” ja selbst auch ein Wort war, hatte dann aber keine Lust mehr es zu korrigieren/zu ändern.
That’s so metal 🤟
Wenn es Metall ist, kommt es in die gelbe Tonne oder auf den Wertstoffhof. Ordnung muss sein.
I was thinking about it for a while. The posts encouraged me. The prospect of possibly wanting to leave the US in the next year or two depending on things also makes me want to learn a second language.

2025: Moving to Germany to escape Nazi US.
Come to Germany, we need more sysasmins (smart voters)
What are you subscribed to, to be seeing that many?
I think I’ve seen a couple tops in recent memory.
Depends on how you sort. If you sort by “top of last 1/6 hours” you will see lots of stuff from other languages.
I browse by All with the Hot sort.
I see German posts constantly. I think because they might not be language tagged correctly?
Not making the language tag mandatory is one of the bigger lost chances of Lemmy. I can’t even select it in my client.
Or not really to feel bothered to change it to something else.
I have set mine to show me all and sort by new by default, lol. (If I get bored I may temporarily chenge to hot and top.)
Viel Spaß dabei!

No, but I’ve seen a few French posts (nowhere near as much as German) and it’s been a good chance to practise my French.
I know some German (B1), but it’s been a few years since I had classes and those posts help me brush up my German (though they are a bit advanced for my level).
Trouble with ich_iel is that they usually translate English words literally into German. Even names or English words that exist in German. The worse the translation the better.
So, uh, don’t learn everything from them.
My favorite is using “Windleitblech” for spoiler.
I invented this one like 8 months ago 😁
Genial! Ist mittlerweile Teil meines alltäglichen Wortschatzes 😄
How can you do Zangendeutsch/Denglisch like that?
What, my first dialect of German shouldn’t be epic memer?
*epischer Michmicher
I doubt the issue is your ability to speak/read German but the heavy use of Zangendeutsch.
Why would anyone do that😔
(Tnx for the site btw)
It’s a good thing I already know a little German!
Maybe I am missing a joke but that sounds very little like high german and more like a heavy accented or dialect version like swiss-german or austrian-german.
I took spanish in school but if I had to do over would have likely done french but german is second choice.
I just blocked the communities 😅
Deutschland vereinig dich gegen den unhöflichen Angelsachsen!
Ich würde mich auch blockieren.
du kannst rennen, aber du kannst dich nicht verstecken!
God bless you?
They said, “You can run, but you can’t hide!”
I don’t speak German. I just have Google Translate installed on my phone and just selected the text and hit “translate”.
ich brauche nicht gottes segen, das blut der verdammten allein genügt!

Fast. Versuchs noch ein Mal :)
Ein zwei drei. Rammstein.
Gott segne dich? Nein…
I’m definitely saving this, mein amigo
I’ve been learning German for a few years (very slowly) now with Duolingo. I see a lot of Spanish posts too (especially on masto) and have been enjoying how the fediverse encourages me to work on my languages.
I find it hard to imagine learning a language that I don’t foresee myself using at least once a week IRL
Du muss nicht unbedingt sprechen um eine Sprache zu benutzen. Du kannst auch z.b. Medien anschauen auf der Sprache, oder lesen. Das letzte Mal, dass ich jemanden zum Englisch sprechen hatte war auf einer Hochzeit, ist also auch eigentlich sehr selten.
Por supuesto que si, tienes razón. Pero si solamente quieres aprender un idioma, cualquier idioma, generalmente es mejor si tienes un uso práctico.
Pero si tienes ganas de aprender un idioma particular, por favor aprendes de todos modos si tienes un usó o no.
Number of German-language posts? I’m somehow not seeing those. I am however a native speaker of German already, so no need anymore to learn it.
Sort by Top Six Hours, and they will start showing. [email protected] shows up frequently there.
Now it will be [email protected]
