“MOTHER WHY HASN’T THE DUKE CALLED AGAIN?”

[loudofrou-frou]

Hi

Ok, so I might actually start trying to use this thing, like actually as a blog. So hello. That's enough.

[sniper0092officialartblog]

A short comic of mine. An homage to anime, video games and sci fi. This has my old ideas. It’s a concept story.

[prettygoldeneyes-deactivated201]

“Not a lot of girls can read”

[cityelf]

“I’m gonna go ahead and strike up a text based conversation with this girl. Gosh darn do I hope THIS one can actually READ IT”

[prettygoldeneyes-deactivated201]

LITERALLY

I think the best part is him confirming that he too, can read

[cityelf]

And aren’t we all thrilled about THAT

[ahnsael]

[whatbigotspost]

So many girls haven’t replied to him so he went ahead and assumed it’s because they can’t read 😂😂😂

[absolutniemand]

In Germany we don’t say “I don’t care” we say “Das ist mir Wurst” which roughly translates as “This is sausage to me” I think that’s beautiful.

[lannisterapologist]

no you don’t understand we actually do say that

[the-lonely-scottish-guy-deactiv]

i crashed my car into a bridge

THIS IS SAUSAGE TO ME

[inkcaviness]

We also say “That’s not my beer” for “That’s none of my buisness” and I think that’s beautiful

[generationiii-blog]

is germany even real

[kkatkkrap]

My roommate dated a German.  When I was making dinner one night, he asked my roommate, “this food… does it taste?”

At our confusion, he explained that in Germany, food either “tastes” or “does not taste”.  Which he then said he supposed said something about German food.

[balrog1911]

To be fair we do say “it tastes good” and “it tastes bad” and many variations thereof, but when we want to be succinct, then yes, it just tastes or doesn’t taste. 

Other fun turns of phrase in German include:

“Ich versteh’ nur Bahnhof” = “I only understand train station” for when you’re confused

“Hast du Tomaten auf den Augen?” = “Have you got tomatoes on your eyes?” for when someone’s not seeing the obvious

“Auf die Schippe nehmen” = “Take someone on a shovel”, basically means to take the piss out of someone

“Du gehst mir auf den Sack” = “You’re walking on my sack” for when you’re pissed off

[quasikool]

the world is beautiful

[apfelgranate]

also there’s  two more variations of “Du gehst mir auf den Sack.” (btw by sack we mean testicle. yeah.)

“Du gehst mir auf den Senkel.” = “You’re walking on my shoelace(s).”

“Du gehst mir auf den Keks.” = “You’re walking on my cookie.”

ALSO WE HAVE THE WORD “DOCH” (basically means yes, but in response to someone saying no) AND IT IS A FUCKING TRAGEDY THAT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HAS NO EQUIVALENT

[wonderfulnonsense]

I MISS ‘DOCH’ SO MUCH you basically have to settle for “does so” or “yes it does” or something not half as succintly defiant I also miss “aneinander vorbei reden” = “to talk past each other”, meaning when people are completely missing each other’s points / talking about two different things. It’s such nice imagery.

[sherlylikeswaffles]

And we call stupid people “Hans Wurst” = “Hans Sausage” (no matter if you are boy or a girl)

Yeah, if we are surprised we say “Holla die Waldfee” = “Holla the forest fairy”

[rebecca2525]

Seriously though, how do children grow up without “doch” und “trotzdem”?

[kiwithetraveller]

Holy mackerel I love this soooo!!

[halo-3]

Also we have “noch in Abrahams Wurstkessel sein,” or “to still be in Abraham’s sausage pot”, which is basically saying you haven’t been born yet. As in, when Carter was president of the US, I was still in Abraham’s sausage pot.

[thatswhywelovegermany]

I know “noch als Quark im Schaufenster liegen”, “to be still on display in the shop window as curd cheese” for not having been born yet.

[cuddlyaxe-deactivated20190218]

Or there is the slightly less icky “mit den Mücken fliegen”, “to be flying with the mosquitoes”, or something my uncle says in his dialect: “Sternle putze”, “to be cleaning stars”.

[firlachiel]

Let’s not forget fremdschämen - to be ashamed/embarassed on behalf of somebody else. 

Or our wonderful alternatives to calling somebody “Wimp”: Schattenparker, Turnbeutelvergesser, Warmduscher… (somebody who only parks in the shadow, somebody who forgets their gym bag, somebody who only showers with warm water… the list is endless)

[sprachtraeume]

I didn’t even know all of these and I am very german. This post is like next level german.

my neighbourhood has never had an ice cream truck. in the summer, we have the knife sharpening truck. it slowly circles the block and rings its ominous bell. i have never seen someone interact with it. it may be that only those marked by death can see it

[sun-and-time]

alex??? this is truly frightening ??

[leafcrunch]

i never really thought about it much until today but you’re right this is honestly a messed up thing for me to be accustomed to

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

the sudden decrease in animation quality between the first hunchback and the sequel is both hilarious and sad

Is that the fucking 401

[officialqueer]

That is the fucking 401

[melancholytimes]

Of course it’s the fucking 401

The god damn

motherfucking

401

You got somewhere to be?

Too bad you’re not getting there.

The 401 is where they weed out the weak. You don’t drive on the 401 to get somewhere. You do it for the challenge. You do it to test your abilities like some Uchiha clan shit. Rush hour 401 is the breaking point between heaven and earth. Are you going to descend into a Lovecraftian hell or reach Nirvana? You will double the size of your biceps death-gripping your steering wheel. There is no time for rest or pulling off over into an exit. Bodily functions shut down. Cars on the side of the road and crashes closing lanes are a constant reminder that you are driving the razor’s edge. Death is mere seconds away at any given moment. They’re always doing construction but nothing is ever finished. It’s a constant roadblock for the hell of it. This is the Dark Souls 2 of Canadian driving. git good or get out

And that’s just normal mode. Have fun in the six-month long Ontario winter and enter some top-tier level of highway driving.

EVO2015. EVO2018.

[boss-hoody]

I heard that babies are born on the 401, grow up on the 401, and take over for their parents as driver of the family car on the 401
