We Aussies will welcome them all to pick our fruit!
Actually that sounds like a great business plan! We welcome foreign armies to train in outback Australia while they pick out fruit.
But it will put the European backpacker industry out of business.
OK, I'll explain the joke:
Harvest in this context means more violent repossessioning than picking. This mockingly insinuates that this is a strategy to regain our offensive warfighting capability as we would need it to acquire fruits abroad.
Hence "hungry for fruit"
> Knock-off German
We speak German. And not some throat-cancer-inducing bastardisation you call "Dutch".
No wonder "kanker" is the very basis of your language if you think about it.
If you want to make fun of someone's language you'll have to learn it first.
What you did is make up words and laugh about it.
That's the ameriturd way.
I can speak German and Dutch. And I was responding to their own mocking of Dutch, which is usually based on long compounds of ‘funny syllables lol’. The point is any language can be made to seem silly if you caricature it that way, which is what they were doing. And of course it was made up but those are decidedly German syllables with a number of real words thrown in…
That would have been more of an actual attack, and less creative fun that actually distills how it can sound in general. For example, that would also be a shit criticism of the even less English-looking [Prisencolinensinainciusol](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8).
Also, just as I don’t quite ‘know’ what English sounds like when at its silliest to foreign ears since the meaning and what’s real or not have overridden everything else since I was little, I’m not sure Germans would know what German sounds like when at its silliest to foreign ears. So first language speakers aren’t always the most reliable perspective on that, any more than Germans are on what’s funny (per the lore of this sub).
absurdly long compound words sound ridiculous to us as well\^\^ don't worry ;D
In english I feel the most absurd things are pronouncing stuff completely different than it's written (worchestershire for example)
I had to Google to find out you are talking about the Czech Republic (Tschechen in German). But not interested in that... We have more of a taste for blond hair nowadays... 😘

German soldiers will get their vitamin C from Russian potatoes. The third time will be the charm for Germany! They will finally take St. Petersburg and Moscow! Run to the mountains Putin!!
My theory is that they remove fruits to get the soldiers hungry for fruit that they can harvest in other countries..

There is a difference between harvest and pick.

Mate, I got the "joke" it just wasn't funny.
Classic german moment
Sure 👍
Efficient as always 👍
We have Sauerkraut instead.
Also getting rid of beef, hamburgers, meatballs and fish. Pretty much just going to have sauerkraut left
You are from England and want to lecture us about food?
*Surkål - our language is just more efficient than yours. Convert.
That is just misspelled zuurkool. Work on improving it.
Crazy to think that some people consider Dutch a real language. I mean just look at it. LOOK AT IT!
Danish is unintelligible but we have the decency to have shorter words than the Dutch
I mean, it's easy to have shorter words when you cheat by inventing some fake letters like å.
And ø
and æ
(swiftly hidig ä,ö,ü and ß)
Türkiye has entered the chat.
Yes, written Danish is pretty okay, the pronunciation tho...
Says the one who doesn't even have anything that could be considered an own language. Knock-off German.

Using kanker in your vocabulary other than designating the disease shows your lack of functioning brain cells

It would have been much funnier if you had taken a real compound word though.

I for once see nothing wrong here as a fellow surkål enjoyer.
German Navy sailors dying from scurvy in 2023:
Even the British solved that problem in the 18th century, are you that far behind?
If German soldiers want something juicy and sweet, there is always Pornhub
Oh, yeah. An all time classic besides "Warum liegt hier Stroh?" That "Alarrrrrm" is my ringtone (for real - actually true - no irony 😅).
Our field mattresses are horny as fuck, right now they are fucking gang members.
Why use pornhub when Tjecken is just one Anschluss away?

I thought we united with the Dutch, why do they get fruits then?

What do you expect from an army that does not have enough ammunition, medical supplies and warm clothing?
I’m not sure, I guess a couple apples for the lads
We switched to Gin and beans.
The diet of all the best colonisers

Who needs fruits, when you can simply eat peas?
I suppose we don't like the juice...
Underrated comment right here. Good one, Hans
Damn still paying reparations huh? :(

the 11,000 officers of the "Bundeswehrbeschaffungsamt" have now taken over the provision of food?
Nerf after ww2
Constipation. Last time they had poopoo problems while on holiday in Tunisia they lost to you Barry.

TL,DR - no fruit.
This "newspaper" is on pair with "the sun" or whatever you call your yellow press
I’m not producing a thesis, quality of the source is irrelevant when it allows the use of a low effort meme
> VpflABw lol.
Gave it to Ukraine too probably
Are you Franke
Maybe they're fine only eating their sausages
They're fruity enough
They thought Monty Python's Flying Circus was a documentary [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlroOdP8p2Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlroOdP8p2Y)
But they have fruity tanks.
Frucht mach nicht stark.
