For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

The Germans have so little respect for the Holocaust that they are willing to weaponize it to commit another one.
Feddit.org banned me for calling the German government out on committing genocide. Nobody loves genocide more than Germans.
Die deutsche Ignoranz ist übertroffen nur von der deutschen Arroganz.
Unrelated little tangent: it's neat to me that I've never taken a German lesson but know the gist of this is "The German ignorance is (superceded?) by the German Arrogance".
Language is based.
That’s because English is a Germanic language.
Odd that Irish is listed there as it’s not a Germanic language. It’s Celtic. Hiberno English could be there, but it’s more a dialect than a language.
Presumably they meant Hiberno-English, also known as Irish English.
Overshadowed I’d translate it as German ignorance is only overshadowed by German arrogance but I find translating German well to be very difficult.
really good!
I think it's "only superceded by". It's the same word in Esperanto (nur = only).
dont know about esperanto but the translation is absolutely correct
