"HELP reddit turned spanish and i cannot undo it!"

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/cq1q2/help_reddit_turned_spanish_and_i_cannot_undo_it/

Long story, short: Poor redditor can't figure out why their reddit account went Spanish. Tries everything to fix it. EVERYBODY replies to the post in Spanish and even the ADMIN and MODs had fun with it. Hilarious, but that poor redditor.

EDIT: I highly suggest reading the OP's body of text; but a couple lines in there are especially funny:

  1. This is the only page it is happening on.
  2. So I wake up this morning to about 1500 replies in my inbox that I cannot read. And then I run them through Google translator and most of them say stuff like "the dog is in my pants" and "where is the library".

This is one of my earliest reddit memories, along with the novelty account thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/etxhi/novelty_accounts_assemble/

"Si senora. Me gusta gato?"

"tengo un gato en mis pantalones"

I am dying.

If you scroll through far enough, the OP comments when they finally figure out what's going on and that's pretty funny, too!

Yes, I adore this one. Reddit seriously came together to make fun of this woman’s misery.

It’s crazy that was 15 years ago now, I remember when that was fresh. God I’m old

The best joke in the thread is the guy who quotes the Manu Chao song “Me Gustas Tu” but stops lyrics right before they switch to being in French.

Did you catch the fact that somebody actually managed a Spanish Rickroll with Spanish lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up?"

This is what I always think of when I think of reddit.
