dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Dutch sounds like someone doing a bad impersonation of German

German baby talk.

If you spend some time in Germany and then cross the border, it sounds like everyone is doing baby talk.

There's a brief moment, whenever I hear people speak dutch, where i fear i am suffering from a stroke and I've suddenly lost the ability to understand my own language.

My Dutch friend calls it "drunk German"

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

My Dutch friend once mocked my language for having a lot of throat sounds and glottal stops. I had to remind him that he speaks Dutch.

It gets even more ridiculous when you consider they used to speak such a funny language while wearing neck ruffles and other 17th century clothing. And that was considered their golden age.
