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

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.
