What does the “Frohes Schaffen!” meme mean?
People use this line to wish someone, in a mock-ceremonious tone, good luck with a tedious, boring, or absurd task. It's an ironic way of saluting an effort seen as doomed to fail or wildly disproportionate to the expected result. Said with the same seriousness as the original, it sounds like a sincere encouragement while actually being mocking.
Where does the “Frohes Schaffen!” meme come from?
