What'd up with all the ich_lel fish/sturgeon memes?
Not German but sometimes browse ich lel and have it translated. However I’m yoo old or out of the loop to get what’s going on with all the fish/sturgeon memes in there.
I think this post started it. It’s a quote from “Werner”, an old german cartoon movie. The german word for sturgeon is Stör. But “stören” means to be annoying or disturbing. A lot of sturgeons got posted to c/ich_iel and it got really annoying. Because of that, Stör-memes are not allowed on ich_iel from tomorrow. Mission accomplished I guess.
Edit: Actually, this post started it. It’s a wordplay on the word Erster (first), but written Erstör.
And before that someone complained in a feedback thread that there were no sturgeon memes on !ich_iel. On r/ich_iel, fish memes have a somewhat longer tradition which I think started with someone noticing a fish called “Huso”. Since “Huso” can also be used as an abbreviation of “Hurensohn” and that is of course r/ich_iel’s favorite word, it was exploited quite a bit, giving rise to other fish memes.
Which, you know, would probably be enough information to someone who spoke German, but then again if someone spoke German, they probably wouldn’t be asking this question to begin with.
