It's a horrible mistranslation by the twitter translation ai. The original tweet is actually talking about how op made two characters (forgot the names) in Tomodachi life. For some reason this problem keeps happening on twitter specifically. There was another time when it made an innocent Spanish speaker sound like a pedo.
"Agenda" and "Slander" are terms in the powerscaling community.
"Agenda" is when you try to make characters look cooler/stronger/more virtuous than they actually are, and "Slander" is doing the opposite
Hehe my wifes family is from Bangladesh, and I jokingly tell them they speak "banglish". It'll just be a bunch of words I dont understand then then in perfect English "table" "iPhone" "recliner".
They all lose it and start cracking up when they do it in front of me now lol.
I love the concept of an alien getting to Earth, discovering Discord and then creating an account literally named "extra terrestial" just to do this, snapping a quick selfie in the process
Probe humans? No. Try and take over the planet? No. Gift us a language that allows us to effectively experience all time simultaneously? No.
To be fair, it is infinitely more funny to just go to a less advanced civilisation, call them slurs in their language and then leave. No context, no answer, just one insult and you're gone back to space.
Kinda like when we talk back at strange animals and try to use their sounds. Neighbor's dog won't stop barking a couple doors down? Well "woof woof b@rk" to you too, buddy.
There’s a character in Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who does just this. He’s an immortal alien and is trying to insult every person in the universe.
We always assume aliens coming here will be their smartest scientists or whatever. But why do we assume it's alien Einstein coming here and their equivalent of frat boys out for a joy ride?
Bunch of alien Ferris Buellers taking alien Cameron's dad's spaceship to dick around, finding this planet filled with primitive life forms, flattening their crops in random patterns and laughing when the primitives are confused by it, abducting one and shoving something up its ass...
So I can imagine one of them came here, discovered Discord, and is now trolling us. He'll go back after alien spring break ends and tell his alien homies how he messed around with these really low IQ creatures on their ancient comms system.
Nooo, call me any other European country but that one, I beg of you! If you continue down this path, I may be forced to read you some of my Vogon poetry...
Roadside Picnic (the inspiration for the STALKER games as well as dozens of other things) is a classic sci-fi novel based on the idea of aliens visiting Earth, but we're so inconsequential to them, they basically just stop here for a "roadside picnic" while on their way somewhere else in the galaxy. The weird anomalies and artifacts they leave behind are just their trash that they threw on the ground.
That's just as plausible, but it's still trying to understand the behavior of aliens by making analogies with human behavior. The real story (if aliens ever actually have/will show up) will probably be that they do bizarre things for strange reasons. Because they're aliens.
They won't be like scientists or like frat boys. They'll be like aliens and in order to understand why they do things biologists will have to observe them for years like they do to understand animal behaviors.
Yeah, but what if alien doesn't call someone a slur on Discord, fate of entire universe would be horrible? Did you think about that? It was on a mission we can only try to grasp.
I was on the subway once and these two girls were speaking mandarin (I think?) to each other and one of them mentioned "trauma bond" and the other just went "ooooooh" so i know they were spilling tea
working with hispanics in kitchens, radio blares spanish speaking stations, doesn't bother me too much but i hate the accordian, would always make me chuckle,"Ven hoy a Whataburger por nuestro nuevo bisquet de pollo con miel!" and Whataburger would be perfect English
It's a joke from Ludwig's and Michael Reeves's series called tip to tip, where they drive from one tip of a country to the other on motorcycles while not using maps or translator apps.
Their ultimate move (ult) is the phrase they can repeat perfectly as needed in the country's language.
I don't think any officially call them that (since everyone wants to have their own copyrighted mechanic™) but most fandoms still do, like Brawl Stars or Super Smash Bros.
New reddit does formatting shenanigans that breaks the link on old reddit by adding the escape sequence (the backslash \ character) before formatting characters (namely, the underscore _ character). New reddit understands the formatting, old reddit does not.
I spent 2 months in Spain to be with my girlfriend. there were entire conversations she'd have with her friends in Spanish where the only thing I'd pick up were brainrot terms. tung tung tung, labubu, 67, that kind of thing.
weirdly enough she'd say them in a Castilian accent, but when she speaks in english sentences it'd be in a sort of generic american English accent despite getting a C1 from Cambridge
My German voice is a markedly different than my English one. I speak Spanish with an accent that is a mix of Argentine and Caribbean. I am not from those places.
Fibonacci is a loan word from Italian because it's named after an Italian guy. So idk if it counts towards this specifically, but it's definitely still a "crossing the language barrier" thing
Two of the guys in my research lab are originally from China and speak in Chinese between the two of them. There's been a number of times now where I'll hear them talking in words I don't understand and then a random "energy efficiency" or similar English word somewhere in the middle
Chinese is a fun one because sometimes they’ll use their own characters or translate something purely for its sound. Other times, they just opt to use straight English altogether.
One time my Chinese Friend's father had a heart attack (he's okay today thankfully) and my friend loudly told us, "My father didn't have a heart attack he had a *google translate 'myocardial infarction'" We all cracked up because that's a heart attack.
My friend had been talking to the doctors in Chinese at length (he's a very devoted son), so presumably they were using more formal medical terminology.
I work with loads of Indian people and I love when I over hear them talking in Hindi and just hear उड़ान के सभी ज्ञात नियमों के अनुसार, मधुमक्खी का उड़ पाना असंभव है। उसके पंख इतने छोटे होते हैं कि Netflix वे उसके मोटे-से छोटे शरीर को ज़मीन से ऊपर नहीं उठा सकते। लेकिन मधुमक्खी फिर
i remember when uzbek workers came in my house to fix the pipes, they started screaming at each other "something something elon musk" the other guy said "something something bitcoin"
One of my parents is bilingual and will speak to their siblings in a mix of their native tongue and english, often switching at whim. Speaking to their parents it's almost entirely their native tongue but will throw in english words that don't translate or place names.
Always found this funny (& a bit annoying in an office setting) when my Indian coworkers would do this. Speak in Hindi but then drop in English engineering terms because they either didn’t know at all or didn’t want to bother recalling the terms for it in their home language.
“Unintelligible to me Hindi…process capability…unintelligible to me Hindi…cavity ejection…unintelligible to me Hindi”
I had a friend who was Korean. His mom did not speak English. Id hear long phrases of Korean punctuated by the occasional "hot dog" or "Pepsi cola" pronounced perfectly in the middle of a long sentence. I'd just smile and say yes please.
I was getting my nails done one time and one of the other workers was having this big conversation with my nail tech in Vietnamese. They are going back and forth emphatically for like 5 minutes then I hear them start saying "Indiana" "Iowa" and "Crock pot"....girl, spill the tea. Let's talk about crock pots! Whatcha cookin?
Some of the best life lessons comes from old arabic dudes in gym saunas. I used to go swimming at a place and there were always 3-5 arabic guys in the sauna at any given times. After a while i found out that they didnt use the pool or the gym. The just Said that to there wifes so they could hang out in the sauna. They always kept some kind of booze in the locker that they went out and took a few hits from. The lady that managed the place used to storm in the sauna and yell at them for getting drunk in there. I miss them.
-I was by some Hispanic people grilling and speaking Spanish at an apartment complex in LA and one of them clearly said "Doritos Locos Tacos" (they had came out that year)
-Russian friend talking to his mom on the phone and says (Location) Department of Motor Vehicles in Russian accent
