    I went to read the reblogs, and most of the German replies seem to be talking about phrases more like “don’t you have any hobbies?”. The exception to this is one person who I think is writing in Bavarian - it’s definitely not what I as an outsider think of as “standard” German, anyway - and they are going with “Hobbiloses Vahoidn”. Maybe if it’s not just OP translating it loosely, it’s specifically a Bavarian expression?

      “Vahoidn” looks very bavarian indeed, almost cartoonishly. unforch that’s all i can say about bavaria and the language there.

      i was thinking about the “don’t you have hobbies?” phrase as well. but really it should be in the posters responsibility to actually give us the phrase they are talking about. i am almost angry, you put in the effort only to not find a clarification by that person. (・へ・)

      maybe i am grumpy. need sleep. maybe its propper german vahoidn to just call bullshit on this one. ;)
