    Caveat: I don’t speak German.

    I guessed that this was a wordplay on more/less in German so I checked the original German meme in the link which shows the words meer on the left and weniger on the right. According to my translate app, the word “mehr” means more and the word “meer” means sea. (Weniger means less) I’m guessing meer/mehr are pronounced similarly and that’s the joke but idk.

        And they kindly explained it to Satans Madiger Spermafurz who, in the face of adversity, was brave enough to stand up and admit to not understanding the obscure intricacies of German pun-based humour such as we practice over on ich_iel_but_American_but_German. Don’t shame people for not understanding.
