The square Kirby and round Qbby from yesterday (..and in the other thread).

This is only funny to Dutch speaking people.. So @Fierce_LiNk, consider this is your real test (or have @Eenuh explain it to you):

Edit:

StackOverflow had a nice site redesign, but it's already gone. But you can still enjoy Cern's: https://home.cern/

I already posted this in the gaming April Fools thread, but I spent too long on it not to post it everywhere.

I was actually able to translate most of that (about 85-90%). @Eenuh has explained to me the joke, but she's not sure she fully gets it herself as she is of the Flemish variety. :laughing:

There are 2 Dutch words for fries. Or chips as you call 'm. Eenuh will probably call them friet or frites. Depending on where you are in The Netherlands ("above or below the big rivers", it's a bit of a cultural division) you call them patat (like a normal person) or friet like in Belgium. People have been murdered because of this issue.

At least I "got" the joke then haha. Though for us "patat" is potato, so it just sounds weird. And frites is French. So this joke only really works for some Dutch speakers. :p

All the best jokes require an explanation in three different languages.

Time to get on that Memrise tiiiime!

I quite liked Duolingo's April Fools this year:
