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 /c/slop

  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

I flew on Royal Dutch Airline and I stg the safety briefing gave me a stroke, my brain could not decide if I was listening to English, German, or nonsense

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"

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year 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.

Even Disco Elysium couldn't restrain itself from making fun of the Dutch

Wait till you learn about Afrikaans...

It's Dutch, but worse.

The Anglos call'd, they're callin' your language a broken dialect...

A fate worse than death truly...
