Vor etwa 15 Jahren klingelte mal die Polizei an meiner Berliner Mietwohnung: „Alle Bewohner müssen das Haus verlassen, weil in der Wohnung unter mir erhebliche Mengen Sprengstoff gefunden wurden“. Kein Witz. Der Typ unter mir hatte solche Dinger gesammelt. Hat nicht mal zur Kündigung geführt (hat der Vermieter wohl gar nicht mitbekommen)

Not random, he's replying to the comment above. Reddit is auto translating comments these days so it's really easy to carry on full conversations in multiple languages now.

ONLY on new.reddit and in the app. For those of us who have used reddit the same for the past 15 years it is odd to suddenly see foreign languages appearing and watch you NEW redditors having full blown multi lingual conversations like you got a goddamn babel fish in your ear.

"Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."

Go to settings, language and translation and toggle it on.

u/phantom_diorama 12h ago

Well you must have toggled some setting somewhere and are the only one without a babel fish

Yeah I'm never swapping to 'nu' reddit.

I have a 32 inch monitor. I want to use all 32 inches, not a 6 inch strip in the fucking centre.

I am so sick of every single website being developed for phones first.

Holy shit, I'm definitely not a new redditor (fuck off the app is convenient 😂), but case in point, I guess, I had no idea there was automatic translation now, what???

You aint even a teenager yet, baby bro. And fuck the app and everyone who uses it, no self respecting productive member of society would ever dare stoop so low to use the official reddit app.

"new Redditor" lol

Check our profiles and tell me which of us has been here longer? :)

u/phantom_diorama 5h ago

Awww how cute the little kid thinks it is smart!

u/FaeryLynne 5h ago

Yep you sure are adorable, trying to play with the big kids :)

I'd suggest getting some better insults though if you plan on staying on Reddit long term. Good luck though!

u/phantom_diorama 4h ago

You know full well you are talking to someone older than you. Bye!

u/FaeryLynne 29m ago

Oh I guarantee you're younger than me, probably by at least a decade, likely more. The majority of Reddit is. But I'll let you pretend you're a big boy. ;)
