and his full name backwards is gnorts Mr alien. Which doesn't mean anything by sounds funny

[–] kronarbob@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

That's because "gnorts" is an alien word.

Back in the days, in a German app, where "Gnorts" was a legitimate way to say hello, a guy named Alex ate a block of butter and a whole bottle of ketchup.

Welche app? Oder war das ein Scherz?

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Kein Scherz, es war die Lustige Witze App von Swiss Codemonkeys. Leider gab es irgendwann ein update das die komplette App unbrauchbar gemacht hat, man konnte nur noch lesen und sehr vieles ging verloren.

He’s just from a culture that puts the honorific between his given name and family name.

If there were lifeforms on the moon when we went, we would be the aliens.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Well, yeah. On the moon, he was an alien.

This picture of Neil on the moon with his helmet off and the earth in the background CLEARLY required professional camera equipment that was NOT on the manifest for the launch. Checkmate.

Gnortsm. I will use this as the name of an alien species. I don't know where but I will.

Gnorts is just how they say "Hello, my name is".

Bit of a John Frum situation.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

does this mean he wasn’t the first person to land on the moon?

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

Oh fugg 😯

[–] count_dongulus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No because Neil was short for Neilbert

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

So he's an atreblien! Whoaaaa...

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

No it’s short for Nielchard.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The alien looks like Donald Trump.
