      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!!!”

          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.

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

        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.
