  • And here I was, pondering about why the forest is ghosting me whenever I yelled into it (in several distinct kinds). I'm such a fool, aren't I?

    Good thing you came along and explained that German idiom to me which I've heard and used for decades now. In my mother tongue. Which is German.

    Can you explain some other idiom to me now? Who are the Hempels, and why do they never clean up under their Sofa (that's a German term for "Couch").

  • I just want to learn some German from you. It's getting worse and worse by the minute!

    I'm just a little guy who is crazy, because he's yelling into woods and expecting an echo!

    Forgive me father, for I have sinned, because my translations of German idioms is not perfect.

  • They made money hands over fist with microtransactions and the selling of fake money.

    It's part of MMO game development to stop ingame inflation. But if you can sell some poor sods monopoly money: why stop inflation?

  • "Antwurt" means "response"

    fun fact being that forests aren't known for their echo.

    Essentially, if you're shouting into trees you're just fucking crazy.

    Yes, you clearly weren't trying to dunk on the idiom. /s

  • Wow, you sure showed that guy Heinrich von Morungen, who said that phrase around 1220 BC. ("Der sô lange rüeft in einen touben walt, ez antwurt ime dar ûz etes wenne")

    Too bad he will never have known how much he's been owned by you roughly 800 years later. /s

  • Funny how that works: this is my German persona of all my alt accounts (check the instance) and in Germany, there is a saying: "However you will shout into the forest, the response will be of the same kind." ("Wie es in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es wieder hinaus.")

    Lemmy is the forest.
