Oat milk is GOAT milk. Not the animal, the expression.

I think you might appreciate the German word "Scheinwerfer":

(The joke is that the word "Schein" can mean both the "shine" of a lamp or paper bills, and "Werfer" means thrower or caster. So a "shine-caster" aka light or a "bill-thrower" depending on how you interpret it.)

That's... obscure, I guess, if I don't speak Arabic and less funny if I have to read the explanation without knowing the pun, but nowhere near offensive.

What meme? Or did it get deleted

Explanation:
Both Trazyn the Infinite and the Star Wars character General Grievous are essentially robots, ripped away from their biological roots, collecting things in an obsessive manner, as the meme describes.

For Trazyn the Infinite, a Necron, that obsession is the collection of historical artifacts, be that specific objects or entire segments of historical battles (including live combatants, eternally frozen in stasis fields).

Grievous collects Light Sabers of defeated Jedi. He isn't entirely robot, as he still has some fleshy bits (vital organs which he very much fails to shield or otherwise protect) and isn't immortal, to his fatal detriment when a certain "Bold One" (Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi) manages to land a shot with an "uncivilised" but nonetheless effective weapon (a Blaster).

It is now my headcanon that the reason Obi-Wan disappeared in A New Hope is Necron Archivist shenanigans.

I once worked on a codebase where the reset function had a hardcoded default password

What year? Mine was 2003, I think. Apparently it was just introduced back then (second heading, second paragraph).

What's more impressive to me, Rome managed to bounce back from it anyway. This was the kind of incursion that could have spelled doom, but it didn't. Truly one of the more impressive conflicts of pre-modern history.

Some rural place down in BaWü. The headmaster wasn't even a fan of advanced education. I wonder how state policy may have had an impact on this. Maybe BaWü was just more bent on being internationally attractive in its education policies?

Also, my current employer's company has been internationally active and accordingly multilingual for over two decades too, from what I hear, so that might introduce additional bias.

I guess it boils down to "our country is too diverse to allow sweeping generalisations". I am glad to learn your perspective on this :)
