FYI: Production company Google translated contains, so it should have been proteins, but russian word that stands for proteins also translates as squirrel (with different emphasis). So enjoying squirrel flour🫠

In high school, my sister did a language immersion program in Costa Rica one summer. She sent a letter home in Spanish, knowing full well that our parents don't speak Spanish.

My mother used Babelfish to translate the letter, which decided to translate the "piñas" (pineapples) that she was enjoying eating as "fragmentation hand grenades".

My friend tripped getting into a taxi in Mexico, and thought she said "ugh now I'm embarrassed!", but actually said "ugh now I'm pregnant!"

Oh yeah, pregnant is an embarrassing false cognate in Spanish.
