being able to understand german memes brings me unreasonable amounts of joy. i did not anticipate that this would be the highlight of my language learning journey.
above one of my favorite german memes/reaction images
it's a tiny hamster with a stereotypical bavarian hat and a big glass of beer (eine Maß, 1 liter) photoshopped onto it
The text reads "I konns ned nemma / ernsdhofd i bin am end" which is written to sound bavarian, in standard german it would be "Ich kann nicht mehr / ernsthaft, ich bin am Ende" (I can't do it anymore, for real, I'm done)
my boyfriend and i sometimes express our emotional state by simply referring to the "bayrischen Hamster"
