Zoom out if necessary. It's the band of the town/area.

Hehehehehe

My brother liked Cars and Trucks and Things That Go so much that it became all he wanted my mom to read him. To entertain herself she started reading it as Cars and Trucks and Things That Stop, just using opposites for as many words as possible. This, of course, backfired and after his initial frustration, my brother preferred her to read it this way.

Yes. Or even composition of words. I remember during a class discussion translating "Thanksgiving" as "Danksgebung" on the fly. At least I greatly entertained my professor—and I'll never forget "Erntedankfest".

Naja. So ist es wenn man eine Fremdsprache spricht. Ich genieße nur diese Momenten wenn ich sie identifizieren kann. 😁

What backup utility did you use?

Ditto Sync for Lemmy. Once the API shit started going down and I first started using Lemmy, I would not have dared to hope that any of the third party apps would migrate here too, let alone multiple.

Reminds me of my first day studying abroad in Germany and trying to ask a random guy at the train station to borrow his lighter.

Me, miming lighting a cigarette: "Wie sagt man—" Him: "Man sagt FEUER!"

Using "so"instead of "that". This guy germans.

I reference this particular moment in our national culture—I won't say often, but with some regularity—and very few people ever indicate recognition. Either they don't know/remember it, or a response is beneath them (which is probably true).

And even then, I'm fine to browse a menu on a mobile-friendly site (as long as the restaurant is diligent about providing reliable wifi for anyone who might not have great signal). But when the code has me download a PDF, they can fuck right off. First of all, I don't need the menu sitting in my cache or download folder. And when the PDF was clearly formatted for physical printing... Good lord. I'm not pinching and zooming this shit.

Concurring with my argument by citing one of my favorite authors. 😊

Did we just become Lemmy-friends?
