A solid 30% of posts in my feed are German memes. I don't understand the language, but I love the memes that I can't read.

Happens with americans too.. they seem to completely miss sarcasm sometimes. Humour is very cultural (and often plays into things a native of the country would know but someone outside sometimes wouldn't).

That isn't what I said though, which is that specifically I notice it with Germans.
