my gender is my fursona

Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?

Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?

This is a german compound on the spot master class and I am LIVING

Bloody love this language <3<3<3

The thing is, since in German you have to decline/conjugate many words in relation to the noun they are refering to those monster words actually serve a purpose of making the language simpler. A common example is a (as in any) red wine (ein roter Wein) as compaired to the compound a red wine (ein Rotwein). If rot is an adjective it has to be conjugated: der rote Wein - des roten Weins - die roten Weine - and many more. But it if rot is part of the noun you only have to decline Wein: der Rotwein - des Rotweins - die Rotweine. So, die Verzweiflung über die Vermüllung der Umwelt is way longer than Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung and you would have to know three grammatical genders and the words’ respective declinations. Whereas for Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung you only need to know that Verzweiflung is grammatically feminine (die) and its deklinations.

Ok, now I want to see Germans playing Scrabble

It’s so funny to me that the Mr beast team took some mid range influencers on a tour of beast games and put Folding Ideas and Doug Walker in the same group

Seemingly they were very polite with each other as expected from mostly normal adults but imagine going on a tour of Mr beast hq with Doug Walker which is weird enough but you are also someone who made a whole video about how he doesn’t understand creativity or subtext

I absolutely fucking hate this. Gold star, no notes.

Imagine an alternate universe where SCP-173 didn't catch on and few or no other articles were written for that universe. A world where the Foundation basically just secures and contains one weird statue.

fun fact: the first couple of SCPs on 4chan after 173 was posted were all statues. in a world where 173 fails to catch on it’s just him and like four other statues that kill you for not properly respecting art

I'm imagining them as a shadow organization that couldn't even keep from leaking their entire archive (one document) about the only anomaly they have, complete with a falsified item number that they intentionally inflated to help in acquiring grants.

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.
