Half the fediverse is German evidently. Besides, memes are supposed to be universal anyways, extended beyond language.

Still wish there was some “universal translator”, my German is ruuuuuuusty.

The Dutch just get prickly about their language. Just don't try to pronounce Van Gogh, or they might turn nasty.
