and his full name backwards is gnorts Mr alien. Which doesn't mean anything by sounds funny

[–] kronarbob@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago

That's because "gnorts" is an alien word.

Back in the days, in a German app, where "Gnorts" was a legitimate way to say hello, a guy named Alex ate a block of butter and a whole bottle of ketchup.

Welche app? Oder war das ein Scherz?

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Kein Scherz, es war die Lustige Witze App von Swiss Codemonkeys. Leider gab es irgendwann ein update das die komplette App unbrauchbar gemacht hat, man konnte nur noch lesen und sehr vieles ging verloren.

He’s just from a culture that puts the honorific between his given name and family name.

Gnorts is just how they say "Hello, my name is".

Bit of a John Frum situation.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

Well, yeah. On the moon, he was an alien.

If there were lifeforms on the moon when we went, we would be the aliens.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

You mean at night?

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

does this mean he wasn’t the first person to land on the moon?

This picture of Neil on the moon with his helmet off and the earth in the background CLEARLY required professional camera equipment that was NOT on the manifest for the launch. Checkmate.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The alien looks like Donald Trump.

Gnortsm. I will use this as the name of an alien species. I don't know where but I will.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago

[–] count_dongulus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)
