  ITT: Germans trying and failing at understanding humor.

    It’s pretty weak humor though. Probably the lowest effort possible to make a nazi joke, that is additionally reaching really hard.

      Are we complaining about the humor quality in the “shit posting” community?

      Would you like to reserve a chair using your towel, too?

  Because people over here aren’t losing their minds over something that could maybe be misunderstood as a Nazi gesture.

  Germany owns up to the history of the state it superseded and does many things to prevent those events from happening again, first and foremost: not silencing it to death and acting like nothing happened.

  Something the US could use a lot more of, to be honest.

    It is literally illegal to make the Nazi salute (that this meme is implying is being made here) in Germany.

      Yeah? The swastika is illegal too, yet Buddhists and museums can display it.

      True, but this hardly even comes close to it…

    They don’t pretend that it never happened, but they do heavily restrict symbols and imagery …

    source

    • berkeleyblue@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes, actual imagery and gestures that is. Not something that an over sensitive person could maybe misinterpret that way if they squinted really hard.

  Are u dum dum or trolling? Someone putting rammstein music over a video of someone triggering a basic hand actuated mechanism in a stupid way, doesnt make that design bad. The icon is just a hand touching it. Its just all framed intentionally stupid.

    Did you see the name of the community where I posted it?

    source

    • unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No but doesnt even matter, neither the community nor the title gave away if you were being serious.
