- jszymborski 9y agoI'm a fan of humour in comments, easter-eggs, etc... but for no good reason, this bothers me.
- nerdponx 9y agoIt's forced humor, and a misapplied un-funny version of mildly funny nerd humor at that. It gives me the same kind of chills that I get from people who wear "I <3 bacon" type t-shirts.
- matthewaveryusa 9y agoWhat kind of t-shirt would you have a positive response to?
- dotancohen 9y ago> What kind of t-shirt would you have a positive response to? Wet. Note that this thread ends in a predictable fashion: https://xkcd.com/214/ https://xkcd.com/214/
- dguaraglia 9y agoIn Spanish we have an expression for the way you feel: "vergüenza ajena", which loosely translates to "feeling the embarrassment someone else should feel for their actions." It's pretty nifty, if not very catchy :P
- roywiggins 9y agoApparently it's "fremdscham" in German.
- dguaraglia 9y agoSee, that's catchier! Now we are talking.
- someSven 9y agofremdschämen is the verb
- nerdponx 9y agoI like this. There's a lesser-known phrase in English with a similar meaning, "embarrassment transfer".
- mjburgess 9y agoOr, "cringeworthy"
- tophattom 9y agoIn Finnish that is called "myötähäpeä"
- jeroenjanssens 9y agoIn Dutch we call this "plaatsvervangende schaamte".
- gkya 9y agoWhat's the meme though, honestly it doesn't look like anything but random cpp abuse to me
- nerdponx 9y ago"Kappa" is from the game streaming site Twitch. Unless it means something else entirely and I'm out of the loop.
- grimgrin 9y agoI don't feel good about that feeling. Often when I say something makes me cringe, I later feel judgmental about it. Because I am being judgmental.
- sargun 9y agoI also feel like Kappa is related to the Pepe / supremacist folks.
- detaro 9y agoIt comes from gaming circles, more specifically Twitch.
