It's literally scissorcutfigures. In German you can chain nouns together to make up more specific ones. Like Doppelkupplungsgetriebe. It's literally doubleclutchgearbox.
Was gonna say "not anymore" to keep the joke going, but if you think about it, it's created as one and was never multiple to begin with. Huh, maybe we've needed to human centi-sleeve for the good of human unity all along??
They always reminded me of paper snowflakes and I genuinely can't recall ever having a name for them... Maybe "people streamer" is what I would say if I ever had to describe them. Even that phrase feels made up on the spot lol

Of course the Germans have one word for it.

Scissor cut figures.
It's three words without the space inbetween, for efficiency.

We like efficiency. It's part of our mating rituals.

It's important to leave some things up for criticism. That's also part of the mating display.
Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 324d
Criticism? Nah. Complaining

True, but it doesn't sound as romantic 💖

Paper dolls.

Hm, not really, paper dolls are something else. Do an image search for that term. I think these are cutouts, or paper men

🇵🇱 wycinanki, translates to "cutouts"
If they were to be referenced a bit more directly it would probably be like "papierowe ludziki" = paper people (diminutive)

I love your language! Polish is my favorite. I want to learn it but it's so hard.
brachypelmide@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 324d
Aye, it's tough alright. A single word can have so many differenf forms, some with entirely different meanings, it's insane.

It's fine, it's mostly just a federated software problem. For people on lemmy they can see the image itself in the UI.
