    That German is much more impactful...
    Could have sworn un/une was 'a'.

    Yes, "un/une" is "a", and "ces" is "these".

    I can't upload the file, so I'll write it:
    German:
    Was ist der Unterschied zwischen warum,
    wieso, weshalb, weswegen, darum,
    deshalb und deswegen?
    English:
    What's the difference between why, why, why, why, why, why and why?

    First of all, I'd like to introduce everyone to the treasure that is https://www.reddit.com/r/martialmemes for cultivation novel memes.

    Second, here are some I've shamelessly ripped off that forum.
