In germany we have a saying "der Blitz soll dich beim scheissen treffen", which roughly translates to "may lighting strike you while you're on the shitter".

[–] qyron 9 points 1 year ago

That's a very original way to wish for someone's demise.

[–] Lordbaum@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Where in Germany? I never have heard of this saying

[–] Sailing7@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Northern Bavaria, near border to Hessen reporting in. I know this sentence.

Hessen confirms

[–] a_ho@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can definitely hear that one in Bavaria. I just assumed that it's widely known.

[–] Huschke@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

Austrian here. I also know that one.

Angry upvote you brilliant bastard!

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago (6 children)

How does something like that even happen

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well first you take a picture of lightning hitting a building. Then you put it next to a picture of an exploded toilet.

[–] ItDoBeHowItDoBe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The text is referencing the toilet, so at least there could be something connected there.

这不马桶- this is not a toilet. 干了什么- what did you do.

[–] makkurokurosuke@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

这个马桶 this toilet 干了什么 what did it do

[–] ItDoBeHowItDoBe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. Someone else pointed out that I misread 个 as 不。 my darn dyslexia had me confidently reading the charecter and adding a whole stroke.

[–] makkurokurosuke@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No biggie, chinese is hard as hell. You take a week off studying and there goes 100 characters from your memory. I didn’t want to sound rude, my level of Chinese is being able to read these characters

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

As a chinese that learn mandarin as my first language: yeah. I stop learning it at 15yo because it's getting impossible for me to follow all these idioms and essays. Hard to learn, insanely hard to master lol.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sideways clouds cause sideways thunder.

[–] instamat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

What does it do to lightning?

Well... it doesn't. This is clearly mega fake.

The unholy chipotle order

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

I suspect shenanigans. Possibly someone detonated something in the dunny, resulting in the marks seen.

Thy shit was holy indeed.

[–] Querk@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

It better be. After all, it was blessed by the Almighty.

[–] relevant_ace@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Zeus fucking a toilet

[–] ItDoBeHowItDoBe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My translation with mostly forgotten mandarin schooling. Maybe it will help to show that the picks are connected.

这不马桶。-this is not a toilet. 干了什么- what did you do?

[–] chibimagic@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

The first line is “这个马桶” or “this toilet” Second line is “what did it do”

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Someone took an ungodly shit.

[–] LazaroFilm@artemis.camp 4 points 1 year ago

Shitters clogged. — lightning.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Do they not have lighting rods in China??? Such a simple way to avoid this, someone could have died

[–] SpermGoobler@lemmy.blue 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's what they get for having carpet in a bathroom

Edit: wait that's not carpet that's poopie water

[–] downpunxx@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

too much iron in their diet obvs

[–] kresten@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago

I refuse to believe that, that exact lightning was captured

[–] GeoGio7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whatever lightning wants...

Turning into a swan to fuck mortals, mostly.

[–] clubb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

*cue Ride The Lightning solo

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

i bet those were two different storms

[–] rostby@lemmy.fmhy.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bathroom next to a window?

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't this like a requirement in most places with any sort of building code?

[–] panchzila@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In apartment buildings you can have an extractor, not necessarily next to a window, at least where I'm from.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Code over here is either one of them, ideally both.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Zeus just really had to shit and that was the nearest available toilet. He literally eats thunder and craps lightning.
