Because y’all aren’t making other memes lol

Well except the Germans. I see a lot of German memes on Kbin lol

Honestly the Germans have been killing it with content creation.

Considering that the Germans still upload the memes using fax, it's impressive that they are the biggest and loudest meme creators here in Europe.

I have half a mind to learn German just so I can more easily understand the memes lol

I don’t understand a lick of German, but I probably look at 50% of the stuff they put up. It’s interesting seeing memes from other cultures.

I just wish I could read. Do the comments translate?

Honestly, I just enjoy looking at the images and looking for patterns. It’s not like I sit there doing it for hours. If I see one that looks like it could be funny, I’ll look at it for 20 or 30 seconds and see what I can divine lol

All of this is to say I don’t translate anything and often have literally no idea what is being said
