so this European clothing retailer decided to advertise their jean cuts on youtube and it’s unintentionally the funniest shit I’ve seen today. why? well.

now important context here: in German, die (pronounced ‘dee’) is just a feminine article, it literally means “the”.

but if an ad gets placed in the middle of an English video and doesn’t use a single explicitly German word for most of the ad, even a native speaker is gonna think “they want me to die how?” it keeps getting funnier.
Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.
“Slutantions” has me crying laughing
i once emailed my professor with a migraine. a mistake.
“I amsick will not to choir because i have a heache. i Hope its very and i am so sorry
love,
blue”
the subject line was “OW”
THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”
As someone who has taught college, please send those emails because 1) We WILL believe that; no one would write that on purpose and 2) we need a laugh sometimes.
On the other side of this, once after getting taken to the ER by ambulance, I got an email from the professor whose class I’d passed out in, and the message had no text, just the subject line “you good?”
Reblogging for the last addition
Claritin makes me weird, but I have allergies so there’s about a month and a half block of time where I’m taking Claritin and am just weird most of the time.
Anyway, my last year of college, I got the flu or something in late March and was also taking Mucinex. I told my professor I couldn’t come to class one day by email except I couldnt think of what to say, so my medicated ass decided to make a Fry meme. I think it said something like “Not sure if I can go to class with a head the size of Texas, bottom text.” I didn’t think until the next day that it probably wasn’t socially-acceptable to tell your philosophy professor you weren’t coming to class via Tumblr style memes. When i got back to class, i found that she’d printed it out and taped it to the classroom bulletin board.
Oh shit you guys i turned on my WinXP laptop that I used to use back then.
IT WAS ON THE DESKTOP. THIS IS WHAT I SENT.
It’s even worse than i remember it
I laugh myself hoarse every time this post comes around, so here it is again.
Once emailed a professor from my hospital bed high on painkillers after a really bad car crash which my heart actually stopped the email “Dead cant class sory”
For me, it’s not just the war crimes, it’s the cruelty. Like the mass murder gets me angry, don’t get me wrong, but since I’m not there, it’s just kind of an abstraction to me. I don’t want to say that it’s a statistic, because these are actual people with actual lives being wiped out, but I’ve never met any of them. But the cruelty; the upper-middle class influencers in Israelis settlements blacking out their teeth and wearing hijabs to make fun of Palestinians on TikTok; getting their children in on their little minstrel act. The IDF soldiers making a meme of forcing blindfolded Palestinian captives listen to their anthem. The smug, gloating tweets by Israeli government organs, boasting about what they’ve blown up. Just the absolute lack of shame; the absolute, gleeful, calculated cruelty, the complete pride with which they broadcast their crimes on the Internet, knowing that they will never face any repercussions because everyone in a position to stop them is actively cheering them on. That is what makes me angry; that is what keeps me up at night.
Anyways, if you want to know how genocides happen, it’s not *just* that people turn a blind eye. It’s that people celebrate and laugh and crack open cold ones with the boys about it, and the information age lets us all witness that satanic cruelty from the other side of the world. There is the banality of evil but there is also, absolutely, just plain evil.
We need to bring back private rail cars as the cool, sexy, exclusive way to travel, so instead of dumping the carbon budget of a small nation in the global south on private jets, celebrities have to attach their luxury pull an cars to the back of an Amtrak. Then the celebrities will lobby for Amtrak lines to be better
Seriously when did this
Become sexier than this
Like isn’t it nice to watch the scenery, to be able to open a window and have fresh air, to be able to stand up all the way, not have your ears pop?
