Der Roboter
- Der bëpen-böpenmann.
Domo arigato Mr. Bepenbopenmann
- *Herr Bepenbopenmann
So ein Blödsinn.
- Klingt wie der Bi-Ba-Butzemann und das ist kein Roboter.
- das Stör(t) mich
- Hahaha
  
  yeah
No, Germans just do that.
- Germans when you say
Once I dared to not call a Blahaj a "die Transgenderenhaifisch".
- excuse me but its “Das Transgenderhaifischplüschtier“
  
  Incredible they have a word for that. They really think of everything.
- Excuse me it's Blåhaj
  
  Swedes, when you type Blahaj instead of Blåhaj, because you're too lazy to switch from your physical to on-screen keyboard with diacritic support.
  
  (Any way to type special letters on Android without installing different key layouts while on a bluetooth keyboard?)
ë needs to become a letter in German
- It is! Even if it's very, very rare.
  
  But it does exist, for example in the Name of Bernhard Hoëcker, where it denotes a pronounciation of Ho-ecker instead of Höcker.
  
  Wow, I didn't realize this
- there is no need for it… but ß needs to be gone
  
  ß is my favorite. All the fun of cursive qs and zs, with significantly more applicability
  
  Are you Swiss or something? ẞ is be best letter.
  
  Die you know, that ß is more frequently used than x, y, q and even j?
- the gërman, brothër
  
  The 'eu' in deutsche is an umlauted e.
Isn't robot Polish?
- It's Czech
  
  Written by the Czech Karel Čapek in the play Rossum's Universal Robots
- It’s got a common root with orphan, somehow
  
  I can see it. There are a few tropes that come to mind:
  
  Robot is unique and alone
  
  Robots outlive their creators/creating civilization
  
  Robots discarded after their usefulness expired
  
  And looking into the etymology of orphan makes it even clearer. Robots are often depicted as being dereft of rights, feelings etc.
ich_iel users be like
It's "die bëpen-böpenmann", stupid!
Was zum fick ist ein biben böbermanm?!
how many german robots does it take to change a light bulb?
- Supreme german LED light bulbs do not need changing.
- 1
  
  However it is very unlikely that a lightbulb would need to be changed at the bëpen böpenmann facility because the electronics are very well maintained
  
  Germans are efficient and not very funny.
- Nein
- log by bulb
  
  log by bolb*
- Light bulb? You mean "Das leuchtën-blinki-blönki"?
I have no experience with german language but i assume it say "beep boop man"?
- it's just rubbish
  
  No that means trash
- As the others said, it's not a real translation. The e with the Umlauts isn't even used in German. We only have äöü.
  
  An acurate translation of robot would be "Roboter"
Die Roboter
- Der
  
  Both are correct. German is funny that way.
Makes me chuckle thinking of the show “Mr. Bepen-bopenmann”
Bepe bope man, loved it
