I mean I was planning to visit in the next couple of years anyway I guess…
Does anyone know what is the deal with the images (I assume it’s some kind of German meme) of people or characters with instant ramen on their head?
The auntiverse
Might be the wrong answer, but I think it’s kind of a signature of the creator… Sth with insta in his name
@instantnudel@feddit.org one of the more prolific ich_iel denizens.
Ding ding ding You are Correct!! :D All the memes with instant noodels are from me. Its my signature. :)
It is
The noodles are just my signature. So just ignore the noodels. They have nothing todo with the meme directly. I just place them on the head of whoever in the meme is me.
Haha all this time I thought it was some widespread cultural reference. Thanks for all the OC!
No problem. Sadly in the last time I post less because I kinda made all of my meme ideas haha
Creativity comes and goes. I don’t like the internet’s culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back
Thanks :)
I took spanish in school but if I had to do over would have likely done french but german is second choice.
Number of German-language posts? I’m somehow not seeing those. I am however a native speaker of German already, so no need anymore to learn it.
Sort by Top Six Hours, and they will start showing. !ich_iel@feddit.de shows up frequently there.
Now it will be !ich_iel@feddit.org
Nah, "block instance"works just fine. I already took 4 years of Spanish as a kid and didn’t remember that, why add another language to suck at?
Maybe because 4 years aren’t much? It’s nice to be fluent in foreign languages, and known to be good for your brain (delaying / preventing Alzheimer’s for example)
Huh? Wo sind die posts? Where are they?
Wie Sie sehen, sehen Sie nichts.

I use catodon.social and it’s got a ton of German speaking people, and while Catodon is very very well designed it doesn’t have a translation option yet.
Don’t learn german. As a german I always feel sorry for people who learn this language just for 80 million old people ^^
As a german I have to say learn whatever language you want, even if nobody speaks it.
Ok, I’m learning QBASIC
You should rather learn FORTRAN and make a lot of cash at some bank ;)
Most of the classic big financial tech mainframes actually run on COBOL, at least in Europe. Though even those are very slowly being replaced, mostly by Java. Still, freelancers with COBOL specialty do rake in huge sums. It’s not only about the rare tech skills ( COBOL isn’t worse or harder than other languages, it’s just old and thus simple), it’s about having those skills combined with a sufficiently high security clearance.
Oooops sorry, I meant COBOL
Ja, das habe ich
Viel Erfolg!
Danke
I lived in Germany from '83 to '94, but I never did learn to speak much of it since I went to American schools. Apparently most Germans speak decent English now? That would have been nice back in the day!
English is on the curriculum of all schools as a mandatory subject, but learning it in school =/= speaking proficiency. That usually comes with a ton of practice, and not all that many of us are exposed to English on a daily basis, even less so in lower income strata.
I’ve just read that a lot lately, that most people speak English relatively proficiently there. Back in the 80s and 90s it was somewhat rare. Possibly the internet helped a bit.
The internet helps with reading/writing mostly, and that comes with the benefit of looking things up when needed, which you really can’t do in a normal conversation. But yeah it has most certainly improved. I think it’s now also mandatory as a first foreign language, back when I started high school in 1994 we were still given the option to start with French or Latin instead (with English as a mandatory second language from grade 7 then).
But don’t quote me on that, I haven’t had anything to do with the German school system after graduation, it’s mostly hearsay.
I copy that and will increase production, if you ask I translate, you’re welcome.

I was learning it (super slowly, thanks ADHD) anyway, but it was when I finally read a 3-sentence long post and could read 90% of it without really thinking about it that I felt I was progressing at all
So of course I haven’t practiced in weeks now, fuuck
Ich nicht.
Depends on how you sort. If you sort by “top of last 1/6 hours” you will see lots of stuff from other languages.
I have set mine to show me all and sort by new by default, lol. (If I get bored I may temporarily chenge to hot and top.)
Or not really to feel bothered to change it to something else.
Not making the language tag mandatory is one of the bigger lost chances of Lemmy. I can’t even select it in my client.
I was thinking about it for a while. The posts encouraged me. The prospect of possibly wanting to leave the US in the next year or two depending on things also makes me want to learn a second language.
