Thanks #duolingo I’m sure this phrase will naturally come up in all types of daily interactions. #german #deutschlernen
(A screenshot of Duo lingo) Liebst du Mayo oder liebst du mich?
Do you love mayonnaise or do you love me?

I got ChatGPT to write me a silly dialogue ending in this line:
Samantha: “Arthur, how could you?”
Arthur: “What? What did I do this time, Samantha?”
Samantha: “You’ve put mayonnaise on the roast chicken again! You know I can’t stand the stuff!”
Arthur: “But, Samantha, it adds so much flavor!”
Samantha: “Arthur, it doesn’t. It just makes everything taste like… mayonnaise!”
Arthur: “That’s the point! You know I’ve always loved it.”
Samantha: “I thought you loved me.”
Arthur: “Well, of course, I do.”
Samantha: “Well, you can’t have both of us.”
Arthur: “What, you want me to choose between you and mayonnaise?”
Samantha: “Yes, exactly. Do you love mayonnaise or do you love me?”
Fuck me, this is actually kinda funny in an absurd way. Everyone is a bot joke are going to get much more real in the next couple of years.
If I ever go to Germany, I now have an awesome pickup line.
Be prepared for a lot of Germans to pick mayo
That’s when you produce a jar of mayo from behind your back.
Honest to god I think this would actually work
If you’re understanding strictly because of context, how are you supposed to learn the language well. You need to be exposed to absurdity in order to really get it
You don’t know how much Germans love mayo, then.
Germans? not as much, Slaves? damn, they would end the world for one more spoonful of mayo
Slaves
Err…did you mean to type “Slavs?”
autocorrect XD, that one time you don’t check, but ima keep it, it’s funny
Those damn slaves and their… checks notes … lust for mayo?
We Dutch need all the mayo. Where are you hiding the mayo?
So what’s this ‘hollandaise’ then? What are you hiding from us?
we sold it, you’ll need to go (to) Hungry
Pommes mit Mayo? Spinnst du?
The point isn’t to teach you useful sentences to memorize, it’s teaching you spontaneous usage of the language. With German, it’s definitely drilling all of the specific tense rules into you by throwing random ass sentences at you to translate.
Why not both?
User name is sus.
‘Liebst du Mayo oder liebst du mich? Scheiß egal, ich hab die Gicht!’
Jesse doesn’t truly understand the German language or people until this question makes sense.
Hell of an ultimatum
Es mir egal.
Such an underrated comment
I like how the first section of German Duolingo is learning how to ask for coffee and beer or tea and wine
I’m german and this phrase is utterly bs. Tbh, every German You will tell this will treat You like you’re a retard.
fr… I am german, of course I love mayonnaise
What would be the proper phrasing for this question?
It’s grammatically correct but every sane German will obviously pick mayo.
that’s sort of the point, you aren’t learning phrases to spit out like a “Chinese room”, but instead vocabulary and grammar
E.g.: Was liebst du mehr, Mayonnaise oder mich?
What do You like better, Mayonnaise or me?
The point is, it’s highly improper to not love a person in favor of a thing. Instead You can lighten it up a bit by just asking for what they like better.
The initial question is only askable among very close friends (Irony/Saracasm), usually not even for couples and definitely not for love interests or lose contacts.
Seems pretty normal to me 😹
If you’re Doug Funny this could be legit.
