RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

my grandmother always used to say "everything is going to be alright and the sausage has two".
That's not a very good translation Brudibacke.
...of what?
Von "Alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei.".
Brudiwursti.
yeah that's not what i'm translating, or the language i'm translating from.
Uhuh. It's the wurst translation.
specifically the thing she used to say was "allting ordnar sig och korven den har två". which is... you know, not exactly right either but it's not german.
Allt har en ende men korven har två.
Has two what?
Ends. 'Alles hat ein Ende nur die Wurst hat zwei'. A popular German phrase.
correct, but we're not german.
Neither am I but my friend circle uses this, having heard it, not because it is German but because it is inherently silly, and we are silly. I would expect that the same may apply here.
