Nah, our humour and our everyday conversation is chock full of wordplay. Obviously it’s hard to detect the humour if one doesn’t speak the language. Humour is a nuanced thing anyways and also plays with cultural associations.
For example if I were with friends in a pub and only ordered one beer and someone asked me why and I replied: “I muss fei spare” , the text itself isn’t funny
(I have to save money).
But it would be funny because I said it in a slight Swabian accent and because of the cultural association of Swabians being penny pinchers.
It wouldnt be hilarious mind you, just a little funny to spice up conversation. How would one translate or even understand that? - Comment on German joke 4 days ago:
I’m sitting on the train by myself and cackling. I don’t know why I find it so funny.

Besides the point, but: I have yet to see ai take jobs.
The misguided belief in ai is costing jobs.
But that’s also pedantry from my part.

The shopkeeper is partly to blame. Where I’m from, nowadays, there are laws about age of purchase. 7 and older you can buy small stuff that are reasonable for a child to be buying with their pocket money (vendors’ common sense is needed here). 14 and older they can fully buy stuff on their own (except for age restricted items obvs).

They don’t need to. If they passed the nuts over a shaky conveyor to collect those tasty expensive deshelled nuts, they’d have bulking shells for free.

Nah, cosacks riding in with their war falcons, raining down birds of fire onto a nuclear power is way cooler than lukewarm and wet amithumbs getting stuck in the jungle.

In central Europe it’s just like “I know a guy with a trailer” or a hitch and you rent a trailer. Or as a last resort or maybe an urban thing, you hire a moving truck and still call upon your friends to load and unload and pay in beer and pizza/döner.
