What do happy German noises sound like? Anytime I hear someone speaking German, it sounds like they're angry and want domination.

"Oh, hi my friend! I'm so happy to see you!"

(Me not understanding German, and him not understanding English)

"Oh god, he means business! He's so angry!"

"We are going to have such fun! I have some delightful games to play, and them we can drink this authentic German lagger!"

"You hear that??? He said German! He's talking about world domination! He's going to kill EVERYBODY!!!"

"Come here, friend! I want to give you a big ol' hug, and embrace in our friendship!"

"HE'S SPREADING HIS ARMS TO SHOW HIS SIZE, AND MAKE HIMSELF BIGGER LIKE A BEAR!!! IT'S STARTING!!!"

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUDDY, BUT I LOVE THE ENTHUSIASM!!!"

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"

German…not understanding English

Somewhat unlikely? :)

Or maybe I’m thinking of Swedes

Sooo many Germans are terrible at English. It's better with the younger generations (<30y/o) and people with higher education (bachelor's degree and up). But I frequently run into Germans that have fairly poor English skills, some it's almost impossible to communicate properly with either because they don't speak it or because their accent is so crazy thick they're hard to understand.

… you are a little girl who was birthed/raised by potatoes?

Sounds like a TTRPG character concept.

There's a conversion chart for that in Rifts.

Wendy's published a shitpost of an RPG that had baked potato as one of the classes.

Puréed potatoes and they're good actually, so you're just making their point. 🥔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

smoothie is raw, purée is made with boiled potatoes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I assure you, potatoes absolutely can do wrong. Eat a few with enough bitter taste, and the nausea stays with you all day.

You're supposed to cut off the green parts. 🫠

I'm sure there is a gif of someone taking a bite out of a potato like an apple.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I've done this on a wildland fire assignment once. We were on watch and some old lady in an ancient forest service truck rolled up and shouted "YALL LIKE BURGERS AND SPUDS???" we were like uhhhh yup?

She handed out simple burgers in foil and baked potatoes in foil. The potato was cooked enough I could just eat it like a hardboiled egg. Good spud. Good burger.

What about their "eaten and digested" form?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You want to go bowling, cousin?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

You shut your pretty little whore mouth, young man!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I just had the urge to block someone over tater tots lmao

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Screenshot how many downvotes you get when this all blows over.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's an even split between the tot-haters and the tot-lovers.

Be honest though, tot-lovers: If you're given literally any other style of potato, are tots gonna be your first choice?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I'm going full conspiracy theorist and saying that's a tot-hating bot farm.

Also, I made tots last night and they were amazing.
