If you want to learn proper German this is not the right community for you. What you read here is quite often the so-called ‘Zangendeutsch’. An ironic slang that’s used mostly online and which is all about heavily exaggerated direct 1:1 translations from English to German. These translations can be really tricky, so even for native German speakers it takes quite some practice to understand it.
It also gives you a great deal of pleasure when you come up with Zangendeutsch-Translations which are technically correct Zangendeutsch, but so impossible to understand that you know readers will not be able to decipher it, meaning they’ll have to ask you, so you tell them, and their groan is audible from across the internet.

And people say us Germans have no humor, tss.
Now I want to see a while drama filmed in Zangendeutsch
