Dutch and Greek go unnecessarily hard. Yeah, "I slap my balls on it" is good, but it really does just have the same vibe as "I don't give a fuck." The Greek make it poetic and the Dutch add that specific scientific component that give it that pop.

The translation of the Dutch one is awkward. It's more like "it can rust on my ass"

I assumed that's what it meant, oxidizing is just the fancy word for rusting. But still, rust is science because Mars has rust and science guys like looking at Mars.

I'm pretty sure these actually mean "I don't give a fuck/shit"

Aht. I meant to type that and ended up typing the awkward phrasing from the post. Fixed it.

Right on. I didn't necessarily mean you, just everything in this post including the original image.

Oh I didn't take it personally. I really did mean to correct the phrasing, and I'm kinda pissed that I just typed what I was reading at the time anyway 😅
