I'm glad it's not just me.

Me: "Did the memes just turn German, or am I really tired?"

Lemmy: "当你太美国化而无法识别中文时的感觉"

Me: "Okay, yep, it's bedtime."

Yeah there's a large part of social media now where I no longer have any fucking idea what's going on. This is that part.

It'd be nice to have a translation plugin in my lemmy app

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I'm kind of enjoying it. I translate things sometimes. Most of the time, I don't. I'm just really happy to have social media that isn't an authoritarian, walled garden, filtered for engagement, and segregated by culture. Lemmy may be small, but it's diversity is really strong. It does create situations in which I can't appreciate the content sometimes, but I'm happy that it's there for its intended audience in a way that I can see. It's nice to feel included in things that aren't specifically for me.

The feeling when you're too American to recognize Chinese

Oh my god this is brilliant. When I got to that line, my first thought was "Which language is that?" And then I read the very next line.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun with that one.

I myself am german. I'm referring to this meme from two days ago and thought it would be funny to remind americans to go to bed when I wake up for a few days.

That makes sense. Thanks for linking the reference. It is very funny.
