From Guatebad to Guateworse. This brings me by the street of Bitterness. The oven is not for buns. I cry like a muffin.To the bad weather, good face. Today is going to be the milk.

A sign in Chinese that says B 超 and which is translated "The B is super." The translation should read B"-mode ultrasonography."

A sign in Chinese that says 如有故障，不要盲目自救 and which is translated "When a failure, don't blindly save yourself." The correct translation would be "If there is a malfunction, do not blindly rescue yourself."

I'm sorry if I mistranslated something,  I found it first in Spanish and  ... well, this. Anime: Overlord Season 2

Apparently this is a mistranslation. Here are two variations of the scene. From Chinese into English:

"What do you plan to do next? Are you going to report me?" "……" "That would be the right thing to do. To be honest, I also know that this matter is quite ridiculous."

From Korean to English:

"So, What are you gonna do? Would you accuse me?" "..." "Of course, you should. It`s nonsense"

But the mistranslation is very gay.
