The fun of Lemmy’s “all” is that you see posts from all around the world. Today my feed is suddenly full of memes in German about an old white guy with an eyepatch. Who is he, and why is he suddenly a meme?

    I dunno why he’s wearing the patch, but that’s the German Chancellor, and yesterday he posted that photo with an eyepatch and basically dared the whole internet to make memes of him.

      He fell while running and had to have the eye patch because of an injury. “It looks worse than it is” comments suggest it’ll come off at some point.

      Maybe he’ll get cyborg eyes and give us another round of memes?
