Happy german noises.

What do happy German noises sound like? Anytime I hear someone speaking German, it sounds like they're angry and want domination.

"Oh, hi my friend! I'm so happy to see you!"

(Me not understanding German, and him not understanding English)

"Oh god, he means business! He's so angry!"

"We are going to have such fun! I have some delightful games to play, and them we can drink this authentic German lagger!"

"You hear that??? He said German! He's talking about world domination! He's going to kill EVERYBODY!!!"

"Come here, friend! I want to give you a big ol' hug, and embrace in our friendship!"

"HE'S SPREADING HIS ARMS TO SHOW HIS SIZE, AND MAKE HIMSELF BIGGER LIKE A BEAR!!! IT'S STARTING!!!"

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUDDY, BUT I LOVE THE ENTHUSIASM!!!"

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"

German…not understanding English

Somewhat unlikely? :)

Or maybe I’m thinking of Swedes

Sooo many Germans are terrible at English. It's better with the younger generations (<30y/o) and people with higher education (bachelor's degree and up). But I frequently run into Germans that have fairly poor English skills, some it's almost impossible to communicate properly with either because they don't speak it or because their accent is so crazy thick they're hard to understand.

… you are a little girl who was birthed/raised by potatoes?

Sounds like a TTRPG character concept.

Ever hear of rotten potatoes? Or sun poisoned potatoes? Checkmate loser.

I assure you, potatoes absolutely can do wrong. Eat a few with enough bitter taste, and the nausea stays with you all day.

You're supposed to cut off the green parts. 🫠

I like mine raw and muddy.

I'm sure there is a gif of someone taking a bite out of a potato like an apple.

I've done this on a wildland fire assignment once. We were on watch and some old lady in an ancient forest service truck rolled up and shouted "YALL LIKE BURGERS AND SPUDS???" we were like uhhhh yup?

She handed out simple burgers in foil and baked potatoes in foil. The potato was cooked enough I could just eat it like a hardboiled egg. Good spud. Good burger.

All except tater tots. The one way to ruin potatoes.

I just had the urge to block someone over tater tots lmao

Screenshot how many downvotes you get when this all blows over.

It's an even split between the tot-haters and the tot-lovers.

Be honest though, tot-lovers: If you're given literally any other style of potato, are tots gonna be your first choice?

I'm going full conspiracy theorist and saying that's a tot-hating bot farm.

Also, I made tots last night and they were amazing.
