Bullshit. You cannot win The Game. The Game is forever.

barbarian818
is it just me or does #10 really look like the sleeve art on an 80's generic blank video cassette?
BrewmasterDan
It's cassette futurism aesthetic
DocTanner
Someone want to explain #6 to me?
SuscriptorJusticiero
#3 A carpet and Robin Williams actually.
keillrandor
#1 nope - fick alles is still 2 words...
sogermanithurts
the german words for overmorrow and ereyesterday are pretty common in the german language: "übermorgen" and "vorgestern". 1/2
sogermanithurts
2/2 but even better: you can enumerate them e.g. überübermorgen is the day after tomorrow after tomorrow. Same goes with vorvorgestern
delightphil
That genie was Robin Williams though?

#11 another one I saw recently: Before was was was, was was is.

fun fact: misspelling it like in #1 (torschusspanik w/o the "L") means a striker's fear of taking a shot on goal. one letter changes a lot.
Feralkyn
@OP #6 ?!

#8 I'm guessing Jack... Patillo?

#17 I'm pretty sure only serial killers spell it "hiccough"
merzofficial1337
Robin Williams, not will Smith.

#1 ...being single in your mid 20s means you've lost out?? Wtf that's practically still a baby
hauntednursery
Right?! Just wait until you're looking at 40 with nothing but a dog & debt up to your earballs.
sfrinlan
But after that, you're so set in your open ways it's hard to make room for someone to take up half of your life
mormacil
In some places people marry at 20 and have kids at 25, like certain places in the deep south. Being single at 26 makes you 'weird' there.
pandro
It's just the "go to college/don't go to college" choice in The Game of Life. Also adjust numbers if you are female.
SuscriptorJusticiero
#17 Likewise, "ghoti" is pronounced like "fish".
ProphetofEntropy
17# is dumb, the last 2 are french loan words.
SuscriptorJusticiero
I've heard ghoti and tchoghs is tasty.

I have the explanation to #6 if anyone is willing to read it.

Axolotl isn’t English at all.
SneakorsMcSneakorsface
First rule of English; everything is English.
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
Yeah but even "original" English words were part of a different language before: proto_germanic for example
yoisthisrelevant
Boy have I got news for you about ::gestures vaguely at the rest of the English language::
OiishikataAK
You know what is though. Yeet!
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
Indeed. English isn’t its own language so much as it is a raccoon’s ransom of borrowed rules and stolen words.
Thalesin
This always sounds so insightful, but it's actually just a truism that applies to LITERALLY every modern language.
Thalesin
If ever you take an interest in etymology, you'd be hard pressed to find any modern language that hasn't been influenced by other languages.
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
Yeah, def. English seems slightly different because it’s so obviously so
KyleProStricklett
"English is a bunch of different languages in a trench coat pretending to be one language"
calledwylch
The bastard child of German and French.
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
And some Welsh and likely some Norse.

"Originally" being key, here. English, however, threw 'em in a sack and made off with 'em. "Mine now," it said, snickering.

Attention! By reading this comment you have lost the game!
MantisTobogganPilotMD
what's up with #6?
Thatsmybacon
I would also like to know.
CorHorizon
Is it a torn off tampon string? The ends look frayed.
xRAINxOFxBLOODx
Nah, it's blue with stripes, and it looks rough. Must be from something else.
RazeYourWorld
I'm a frayed knot
PenneIsTheWorstPasta
Maybe it is like how people stick a needle through the very top of their skin, but this time with an actual thread attached
MantisTobogganPilotMD
oh, did they thread that through the top layer of their skin, I really can't tell, it looks like its just laying in their hand to me.

Pretty sure all Germanic languages let you cobble a basically unlimited amount of words together to form one of extremely specific meaning.

Unbe-fucking-lievable
AmbroseGudmaker
English technically does because of its Germanic roots, but apart from some simple archaic ones they don't end up in dictionaries.
RackhamTheRed
#1 should be torschlusspanik. Torschusspanik sounds like something a goalkeeper in football might experience
Ionlylurkbecausemymemegameissoweak
As a fellow german, I know it's frustrating since they fuck this up every single fucking time.
lurkbot3010
even germans fuck this up often enough but at least it's not "einzigste/r/s"
pandro
Well, I'm glad to hear it might be real, as opposed to Waltersobscheit or whatever that fake one was. :-(
Ticmea
While "Waltersobscheit" is just a messed up bunch of characters, "Torschlusspanik" does make intrinsic, literal sense. source: I am german.
pandro
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cj1g44WXIAAqgIV.jpg was so convincing but turned out to be made up. ("Walter Sobchak" from The Big Lebowski.)
Ionlylurkbecausemymemegameissoweak
Well, "obagscheid" is actually a word in bavarian dialect which menas exactly what is described here, so yes, we have a word for that.
RackhamTheRed
There are two other countries using German... Just saying
Ionlylurkbecausemymemegameissoweak
Well, doesn't matter to me if you're from real germany or from one of the small germanies, all the same.
RackhamTheRed
You're not gonna make friends in Austria or Switzerland with that attitude... to put it polite
Ionlylurkbecausemymemegameissoweak
Ever heared of jokes?
RustBunny
Uh, can The Game ever actually be won? Saying it's over - even declaring that it's over - doesn't necessarily make it so.

It is literally in the rules that you can never win or opt out, only lose. I'm sure that's not a metaphor or anything.
