Lemmy disproves the stereotype that Germans lack a sense of humor

A solid 30% of posts in my feed are German memes. I don't understand the language, but I love the memes that I can't read.

How do you love something you don't understand!

I love animals even though I can't understand them 🤷đŸģ‍♂ī¸

So you can't understand how animals work and what is the point of them?

But you're also an animal

Have you never been in the middle of something and thought to yourself "I don't understand why I am doing this?"

We have a frequent flyer patient at our hospital who has aphasia, a brain condition which causes nonsense words to come out instead of what the person was intending to say.

We have a NO idea what this person is saying, but his tone of voice and delivery are completely normal even though the content of the words are meaningless. So I can confirm, this guy cracks jokes and is hilarious (he laughs at his own jokes and you can't help but laugh with him.)

The German memes feel similar. I don't understand the words, but the intent is clear enough for me to enjoy seeing them.

Let's hope we'll soon find the cure for the brain condition that makes people speak German 😔🙏
