Everyone knows Basque is the only real language, and every other language was designed by Benedictine monks to prop up the story of the Tower of Babel

I've been rewatching a lot of Futurama lately so I read that last response in Dr. Zoidberg's voice and now I can't get over how well it fits.

In can’t tell if this is a Measurehead parody done in poor taste, or an actual phrenologist. I’m leaning heavily to the former, not even Nazis are that blatant anymore.

I feel like it's probably an actual phrenologist because he implies dutch white people were created by Yakub which is really down the black supremacist rabbit hole.

Edit: youtube video on the subject

It really is an ugly language. English, French and German, all smashed together with all sorts of extra vowels.

I'm hoping to get an asylum in Netherlands later this year, and a lot of memes about it fill me with dread

to be honest I think the Netherlands is an amazing country, and I would love to visit one day! it's just that their language is so strange and odd imo

Learning it in Duolingo right now - I'll have to know it at some level to get citizenship later - and it really is weird
