These memes are much like health care… As an american I dont get it.
The name of the fish “Stör” is the same as the word “disturb”. That alone offers a lot of potential for bad puns.
It is also weirdly common as a part of other words that don’t have anything to do with fish. And third, there are parts of words that sound similar to Stör.
Take all those ingredients and you can have a lot of fun with strange word combinations and only native speakers have a realistic chance of understanding.
Distörbing.
Störrible

Lol easy bro
Nein, du kriegst dein Scheiß Fahrrad nicht zurück!
Even though I studied German for years idioms and sentence structure still throw me off. I tried to translate that looking up only the words I didn’t remember and figured “dein Scheiss Fahrrad” was “your shit bike” and Kriegen is to catch (or get I guess in this context), so I was like “No, you catch your shit bike not back” doesn’t make sense grammatically in English, so I put it into Google Translate and it translated it as “No, you won’t get your damn bike back”. Maybe it’s because I learned High German and only ever used it in formal settings 95% of the time but it still throws me off, I have a hell of a time trying to understand spoken German because I don’t have the time to parse it mentally most of the time.
In German is the word order simply different than in English. That stands in simple sentences not too much out, but if I, like now, try a sentence to build, that more complex and harder to understand is, will you that notice or in the worst case so much confused be that you it not understand can will.
I had to translate this to german to understand… and I’m not even german
Sound like Yoda, you do. Hmmm.
It is really not easy such to write, I must with violence the part of my brain suppress that the English grammar knows.
Germans have the same problem with english, too. Most of the time, I built the grammar in a sentence like I would do in german.
Well to be fair, even native English speakers have problems with English. It’s a clusterfuck of a language. Learning German made me realize that more than I already did.
Vocabulary in German is overall more logical than in English. But German grammar is very much a clusterfuck too.
Agreed.
in case you need context: German soldiers famously took dutch peoples bikes during the occupation in WW2
Ah thanks, I didn’t no that.
Catch would be “fangen” “kriegen/bekommen” is get.
Ah, leo.org said it was to catch.
Steur
Aber ich bin amerikanische und sprechen zwei sprechen ist schwierig. Können wir englisch amerikanische sprechen bitte?
Tut mit leid, nein
Rechner sagt nein.

It’s a type of fish, and they are making word plays with the name of the fish. Why? I’m not sure of the origin of this one. I imagine it’s like the beans or the beef stroganoff memes - the origin doesn’t matter much at this point.
The English word for the fish is “sturgeon”.
🎶 Like a sturgeon, caught for the very first time! 🎶
lmao where is this from
I tried my hand on one of those AI image makers… Almost got kicked off twice because apparently “like-a-virgin-era Madonna but a sturgeon” is considered inappropriate somehow.
Probably because of the word “virgin”
Also I was thinking more about “Like a surgeon” which is Weird Al’s parody
Beautiful
Hahahahahahaha
No, that was the prime Minister of Scottland
First minister, only one prime minister in the UK, although they are temporary in nature, sometimes we have 3 in one summer
I actually started with eels. Aal (=> eel) can be inserted basically everywhere by just stretching the “a” a bit, like “Aalle wissen das” instead of “Alle wissen das” (everyone knows that). As far as I know, this started (or at least became popular) via Jan Böhmermann, he had some jokes about that in his show - the same guy who wrote the “goat fucker”-poem about Erdogan that caused massive diplomatic problems and resulted in changed laws.
Wir servieren heute Aal la carte:
- Aalgensalat
- HopfenkaltschAale
- Pasta Aal dente
- KAalter Hund
- Pizza CAalzone
Edit: This also works in english:
Something’s fishy. I think Russia is trying to interfere with our Eelections
HopfenkAaltschAale
I started the Aalphabet in my family. Every time we encounter a word that matches, it is added. It’s geniaal!
Danke schön!
Understood… so fisch störganoff
It’s a long störy.
Oh, the bell rings! Oh, der Hund ringt!
Otto is the best!
I’m german - UND ICH VERSTEH DAS AUCH NICHT!
Ja das ganze ist ziemlich verStörend.
Vieleicht neimand es verstehen! 🤣
I love when German memes pop up on my feed. It’s like being given the context clues and visual aid, while the actors speak in Black Speech
I speak the black language myself but I have no clue what the duck happened with all those memes.
Wants to know how a meme works, incorrectly uses a meme to express the desire.
What an exciting way to write STÖR
Stör is a fish
And it’s also really prevelant in a lot of German words
Why are the dots above the R?
That’s a rumlaut.
Lass dich davon nicht Stören.
Where are these Memes you are talking about? I only saw the sturgeon’off one. Am I bamboozled?
Go to [email protected]
no speaken ze dutch, mein homendoggen
What do the Dutch have to do with it?
ze dutch und ze deutsch are ze sammenpeepen.
No thanks I blocked it after seeing it constantly with absolutely zero understanding of the content
I can see 1 meme per week when I go there, is at possible feddit.de is defed from feddit.nl or something? Any inside info I can’t see from my end?
https://feddit.nl/c/[email protected] seems to work, maybe its jerboa… wtf
It was my language settings, German was turned off and therefore filtered out. You can not change or access them in the app interface hence my extra confusion besides this stupid way of handling language.
I use Jerbora and it works well here
Lemmy see shitposts lemmy…
Language settings, not yet in jerboa and stupid.
Mostly making fun with words and nonsense. It’s not even really funny.
Look, it’s all the Germans have for humor, OK? Let them have this.
Ich bin fertig mit Lachen. Kann ich jetzt wieder aus dem Keller kommen?
Nein.
Doch.
Bitte? 🥺
Du störst
Menno!
I am FunnyBot…
