I bet there's a language somewhere that sums that whole sentence up in one word.

My bet would be on a European one, potentially German, where it would be 35 letters that look exactly like a cat barfed on the keyboard

Kaltdunkeltrauerverzweifelungsvollraum. However, even Germans would not combine all this and say something like ein kalter, dunkler Raum voll Trauer und Verzweiflung.

Fight me: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz

Using compound words is just cheating.

[-] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If it's just a compound noun it's no fun, because it's just a literal translation of those same words except there's no spaces between the individual words in German

Most likely german: kalterdunklerOrtvollerTraurigkeitundVerzweiflung

I'd really like to see how Germans manage their college essays with minimum word count.
