D is for Data centres!
Gen A's attention-span dropped off somewhere in the second frame anyway. Not even the best teacher has got them past 'E is for Environmental Disaster.'
E is for Extinction.
There must be a German word for what I'm feeling.....
Funny but haunting. Like amusenhaunten or something.
Schaudernd? Makaber? Witzig-apokalyptisch?
I don't think there is a really good word for it in german sadly. I'll go with amusenhaunten now and will spread the word (see what I did here hehe) so check the german Lexikon in a couple years
Apparently "schauerlustig".
Still like mine better!
Since I'm a 40 years old german native I can tell you: never heard that word in action. But you can verify by checking "Der Duden" - that's the main german dictionary. They are even adding teenager slang every year so maybe there is an actual used word for it that I don't know due to my age 😆
I laughed way too hard at this.
Hey kids, let's learn alternative ABCs that may be able to slow and eventually reverse the ABCs in the comic!
