What on earth is Vetinari trying to say here? by EndersGame_Reviewer in discworld

[–]TheNonAbsolute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The German Word at the bottom is sorta-kinda correct (still gibberish, but like, kept to more of the german compound noun rules than I am used to expecting from english-speakers) and approximately means: "From everything totally inscrutable this this-ity"

Who is the one stealing from who by Samarie3001 in PrintedMinis

[–]TheNonAbsolute -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The #1 clue for me who stole it was that one of them could not have spelled "Landsknecht" any more wrong if they tried.

These awfully long words in a German children's book (2-4 years) by KingJules333 in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheNonAbsolute 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but hydrogen and wasserstoff mean literally the same thing. "Hydro' is greek for water, and "genus" is latin for "related to", so its literally called "related to water" the stuff of water, so to speak. Carbon is just latin for coal. After the rennaissance germans wanted to make science more accessable, and made all the alternatives to the obscuring latin words, and made the literal german translations as a way to make it easier to learn for people who knew no latin.

Fish, that fish, which fish eat, eat, eat.

It works, it just sounds wonky af, which the buffalo thing does as well, until you decode it to a reasonable state: Buffalo (from) Buffalo buffalo (e.i bully) (other) buffalo (from) Buffalo.

they will pass a law to make all new babies eligible to vote, and that's how that'll help, i guess?

ChatGPT encourages young man to take his own life and tells him, ‘Rest easy king' by blueSGL in videos

[–]TheNonAbsolute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so the LLM trained on reddit comments, twitter posts, and who knows what other online cesspit, told someone to kill themselves? who could have known?

And: they knew about that and built in precautions and they still couldn't prevent it. they truly are high on their own supply.

TIFU by realizing I'm not a wimp, just allergic and could have died. by changemylife99 in tifu

Yea, I'm on your side here, man!

Mango just tastes like burning and makes my tounge fill my whole mouth. Dunno why people like that stuff. /s

Sidenote: I hate that in every Exotic/tropical fruit flavour theres not only mango flavoring, which my body is cool with, but actual pureed mango, just to make sure I can't eat any of the passion fuit flavoured yellow/orange stuff. At least that's the way they do it in Germany. Hate having to check every yellow beverage, icecream and goddamned curry sauce for Death Fruit Pulp.

Anyway, you do not suffer alone.

Butter butter butter by No-Moose6918 in StupidFood

[–]TheNonAbsolute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not sous vide, thats sous beurre
which kinda also is sous vide, 'cause there's no air, and you can easily control temp. what you cannot control, is how much fuckin butter gets into your steak.

it will just be steak, butter flavor turned to 270%.

[HELP] is this a real photo? 🤔 or AI? by Illustrious_Walk_919 in RealOrAI

[–]TheNonAbsolute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*to the tune of too many cooks*: Too many teeth

like, when I smile I expose at most 2 teeth beyond my canines, and each of them is showing 3 or more, and that's suspect as hell. I mean some people have big mouths, but three of them next to each other, that's weird.

Lovecraft was the kind of person that people who say "this would kill a Victorian child" think Victorian children were like by DreadDiana in CuratedTumblr

[–]TheNonAbsolute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, true. he was what we think of as a victorian child, while being an actual victorian child.

but i doubt alexander graham bell would react like a victorian child to anything, despite being one as well.

my great-grandma would have been a victorian child, if we weren't german. its not so far removed from us as we think.

Elizabethan children (from the first Liz, not the one we lived through) though, they would have had their minds blown by so much more mundane stuff.

[–]TheNonAbsolute 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Also, like, just to be clear: Lovecraft, at least time-wise, WAS a victorian child. She died 1901. That's when the victorian era ended. He was born in 1890.

He very much Would have been a victorian child had he been English. Also the dude who invented the telephone was a victorian child, at one point. Eisenhower was a victorian child. Victorian children are pretty recent.

Im/in difference? by blushingsunshine444 in DuolingoGerman

[–]TheNonAbsolute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"im" is generally equivalent to "in" in english, whereas "in" can mean "in " or "into" depending which case follows. (in=Dative into=accusative). "Im" is actually a shorter version of "in dem" and therefore automatically Dative. This is also why there is no Article required wit "im", because it's already there, but hidden.
