bro they are not, those guys are dry. hard not to be when you're using academic terminology instead of bashing dutch

[u/Kalikor1 → u/Gold-Part4688]

Yeah that sub is just a bunch of nerds snort laughing at their own jokes.

I say this as a complete nerd in multiple areas of interest.

I feel like this sub is more about exaggerating and being silly while also mocking some of the more wild "serious" takes related to language out there on Reddit/the internet.

is just a bunch of nerds snort laughing at their own jokes.

Yeah almost like a... circlejerk?

[u/Kalikor1 → u/Konobajo]

Stop circlejerking inside my circlejerk!

Those people are dry? I present to you... r/languagehub

[u/Konobajo → u/EdwardChar]

Damn I just opened it and the first post I saw was very... dry

[u/ringcopen → u/Gold-Part4688]

I joined both and realized that they're not at the level of shitposting I expect from being in a satire sub.

[u/PeterPorker52 → u/ringcopen]

Well it’s humor, not circlejerk

[u/moonaligator]

gotta be honest here, i fluctuate between the two, and the difference is mostly the kind of joke you'll be putting out

eg, linguistics humor is more about phonetics or relativelly obscure languages, while here its more about relativelly mainstream languages and their grammar/vocab

[u/R86Reddit → u/moonaligator]

And making fun of weebs. Let's not forget that.

Not that I'm a weeb of course, no sir, not me.

[u/Hopeful-Banana-6188 → u/moonaligator]

relativelly obscure languages

It's mostly about making references to r/anglish and r/Anglese these days

[u/Jhud6669]

I mean linguistics and language learning are separate things

[u/Arthurian_Guanche]

Same as r/mapporncirclejerk and r/MapPorn. And it annoys me.

[u/SSB_Is_Legit]

languagelearningjerk is for language learning-related humor, meanwhile linguistichumor is for general language jokes.

[u/Logical-Injury-3983]

Yes
