    Me gustan los memes españoles.

    Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish. Makes me laugh every time I hear one of my friends say it in spanish.

      Why do y’all anglophones enjoy making language more complicated than it needs to be? Does it bring you joy to provoke suffering to the world?

      I heard a dude pronounce meme ‘mee mee’ once like 10 years ago, and that created a core memory for me for some reason.

        One of my favorite stories to tell related to this was when I went to a stadium to do some work and needed a bathroom.

        I noticed some people cleaning that looked Spanish, but I don’t like to assume people don’t know English so I started with “Do you happen to know where the bathroom is?” So they replied “lo siento, no hablo Ingles.” Having taken Spanish in highschool I remember like 8 words and switched “donde estas el bano?” And they replied “no Ingles, no Ingles.”

        …but… I’m speaking your language now… Lol

      Thanks to watching La Casa de Papel with original sound and English subtitles, I can understand this meme.

    I literally dont understand and I wish I could block memes that aren’t in English. They can’t even be easily translated because text in image.

      It’s just the same meme you have always seen, saying the same thing it always says. If you haven’t seen the meme before, you won’t know what it says. Everyone is just having fun “translating” what they have already memorized (meme-orized?).

      Sync supports native OCR extraction and translation of images as well as fully translating posts and comments. I don’t even recall it having that feature in Reddit, but it’s pretty awesome to have now.

      This is the first time I see a non-English meme outside of non-English communities. And you can easily block the latter. And I wouldn’t really count this as non-English, since the main text is English and the meme text is a known meme already.

        I already have to go through and block all the non-English memes communities.

        I’m not sure why everyone is pretending that it’s somehow extremely obvious what the meme is supposed to be.

          Nobody is pretending. People either already know the original meme and use it to deduce the translation, or they have the minimal understanding of Spanish required to read the text.

            I’m assuming by “original meme” you’re referring to a meme with a completely different image that you wouldn’t know what it is unless you read Spanish.

      A lot of Lemmy communities require alt-text to display any text in the image, along with a descriptor for the visually-impared users of Lemmy.

      Not this post though, apparently.
