When you're so dumb that you publicly claim to speak a language that doesn't even exist, you get voted to lead the military

If I was religious I'd be really nervous about the Book of Revelation type shit happening right now.

I knew it lol I was waiting for it. I give it 6 months until the national language has been renamed to "American" through a illegal executive order

What's "American"? Was he educated in a different country? I had English classes in the US.

[–] numlok@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

American is very similar to English, but with an angry drunken slur and no pronouns.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

Look, I only speek one language. That means it's the only language that matters. Wtf.

/sarcasm. You should have been able to tell, but reality is that bad.

The foreign leaders all raised two middle fingers to the speaker and said "we speak it too"

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 3 weeks ago

I'm more and more convinced, the lingua franca of Europe should be Esperanto, just to spite people like this.
