Not my native language but the German language has some pretty fantastic words/insults like "punchable face" (backpfeifengesicht) and "brain denier" (gehirnverweigerer).

    Also Knödelfriedhof (dumpling graveyard) for obese people is kind of funny I think.

    I hadn't heard that one before but your opinion is objectively wrong: It's not "kind of funny", it's hilarious.

    People got banned from Reddit for less.

    I caught a ban from reddit for pointing out that COVID 19 could kill you. This was during the height of the pandemic too.

    People caught bans for some spectacularly stupid stuff on reddit and their reporting system is straight up broken, so plenty of bad shit goes ignored indefinitely.
