And you guys say the germans have no humour

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

Yeah, it's not like the Germans would have any special insight into Hitler and not invoke him lightly.

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

hey, I'm not doubting them at all. When I first saw this headline days ago I thought. "surely it's at least plausibly deniable".

It was not. The mask is all the way off now.

After you've read the jokes in the book you will miss the feeling of laughing the first time you read them

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

That wasn't in reference to you, but Muskrat.

[pivot_root@lemmy.world]

The contrast is insane. So many people on shitter love the taste of leather, apparantly.

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

oh, gotcha

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

book

help me get this joke please?

[neatobuilds@lemmy.today]

Im sorry I dont get it either

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

hmm, then what book are you referring to?

[unfortunateshort@lemmy.world]

The only response to that should be

Straw man: Nobody accused you of being Hitler

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

Yeah, I mean, it's obviously trolling to begin with. What he did is undeniably similar to the nazi salute, yet he dismisses that fact without even slightly addressing it. It's intentionally lazy, and trying to conflate less-apt Hitler comparisons with an incredibly applicable one. Because he knows this approach will work for his intended audience, and he gets to chuckle to himself about being untouchable.

Proud supporter here. I chuck them a few quid every month.

[princessleiascat@sh.itjust.works]

Oh thanks for that ‘cancel’ tip!

[woodytrombone@lemmy.world]

This is your daily reminder that being anti-facist isn't political, it's just good common sense!

[neatobuilds@lemmy.today]

whatever book they are talking about that has a whole compendium of humor, im not sure what exactly it is

[spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works]

I can picture this very German explanation of what humour is. A technical manual on it and how to be funny, and yet not a single "lol" was had in the reading

[isokiero@sopuli.xyz]

German humour is no laughing matter.

[imhotep@lemmy.world]

I read they're a group from the UK

[drthunder@midwest.social]

The joke is that Germans love bureaucracy and design and don't do humor, as evidenced by some German chocolate my dad got at LAX that described itself as square and practical.

[bleistift2@sopuli.xyz]

You don’t get a “vroom” from reading a car manual, either.
