       Do you know about #blinkenlights ?Blinking indicator light with communicate something about the system state?The name is inspired by a pre-internet #copypasta which was printed in a Fraktur font. The English Wikipedia claims the text is written in both mangled form of #German while the German Wikipedia suggests it's mangled #dutch and #german instead. It claims Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" made mangling those languages a #meme before this copypasta was created.

       I indeed heard people claim the #dutch #language is just #drunk #german but as a chronically non drunk and non dutch German I can't confirm or deny this claim in either direction.For those unaware here is a short snippet from that glorious movie https://youtu.be/isLNLpxpndAI am not happy with the in universe translator though. He completely skips the commentary about the g̶e̶r̶m̶a̶n̶ Tomainian women.
