So this meme would only make sense in Old High German.

Maybe I put it wrong, but it works even better in modern Germany: "Stuhl" means chair in modern German. The joke/pun is well-known in German: "Darf ich Ihnen den Stuhl zurückschieben?" So unlike in the English version, "Stuhl" literally both means "chair" and "poop".

No no, it works even better: "Stuhl" means chair in modern German. The joke/pun is well-known in German: "Darf ich Ihnen den Stuhl zurückschieben?" So unlike in the English version, "Stuhl" literally both means "chair" and "poop".

Nur, dass das letztlich nicht (nur) der Kunde, sondern wir alle in Form von Steuern blechen dürfen. Audi wird schon seine Vorstands-Schäfchen auf unser aller Kosten ins Trockene bringen. Immer schön Gewinne privatisieren und Verluste verstaatlichen.

Great to see a fellow frog in the wild!

I am guessing this comes directly from German

The German and English wikipedia have interesting information about the etymology of the English chair and the German Stuhl:

Chair:

Chair comes from the early 13th-century English word chaere, from Old French chaiere ("chair, seat, throne"), from Latin cathedra ("seat").

Stuhl:

[...] althochdeutsch stuol ‚Sitz, Thron‘ [...]

(Old high German stuol meaning 'seat' or 'throne'

Das Wort Stuhl [...] ist mit l-Suffix zur indoeuropäischen Wurzel *stā-, *stǝ- ‚stehen, stellen‘ gebildet.

(The word Stuhl is built from the proto-indo-european language by adding the suffix 'l' to the root '*stā' or '*stǝ' which means 'to stand')

So both means seat/seating or throne but chair is more a throne-like furniture (by having arm rests and/or back rest) whereas Stuhl was more like a simple stool (a small foot rest or seating without any back rest or arm rests). In German we use "Schemel" or "Hocker" to describe such a stool. "Schemel" seems to come from "scamilla", Latin for small bench.

I have no idea how all this information helps us, but it's interesting :D

Solange "der Rest" nicht das Maul gegen solche Rassisten aufmacht, sind sie mit schuldig, Punkt. Wer schweigt, stimmt zu.

Das ist kein persönlicher Angriff auf dich aber ich habe es so satt, wie jedes mal wieder Leute bemüßigt sind zu betonen, das wir "nicht alle so sind". Kann schon sein, aber diejenigen, die sich auf dem (für sie bequemen und ungefährlichen) Status quo ausruhen sind doch meistens die, die da immer am lautesten heulen dass sie ja nicht "solche Leute" sind.

Taten sprechen mehr als Worte. Wer still bleibt, ist Teil des Problems aber nicht Teil der Lösung.

It works at least in German: Stuhl is both the furniture and the term doctors use to describe poop.

When I feel like this I try to stop doing anything and try to feel actually bored. It is really hard for me to do this and often I cannot break this cycle. But when I am able to break it I often experience the urge to do something that does not let my brain skip to the next thing.

So these are parasitic mushrooms, okay. Are there any mushrooms that live as parasites on hypomyces? So basically a mushroom human centipede?

Aaaaaactually the vehicle they used to fly also bestrides some space in itself
