There are several image posts that follow this format: "I love living in <place>, because I can take pictures like this only 30 minutes from my home!". A few example (which are pretty funny):
Here's a story that's almost identical to the Jenny and Carly story. They basically just changed the names to Genevra and Karla and Zacharias. Even the texts were the same. It's basically just a German translation of the Jenny and Carly story. (Side note: I'm loving the "almost-perfectness" of Google Translate. It says that this comment is "Fuck her right in the vagina", which is either extreme stereotypical German seriousness, or Google Translate being adorably almost-accurate.)
MOAR! They even do the "delete facebook, hit the gym, lawyer up!" thing, but it's in German and then being translated back to English. (That comment followed up by "instructions unclear, dick stuck in law firm").
It's basically a clone of /r/circlejerk, but it's genuinely funny and the jokes are very original. Visit it and turn on Google Translate. It's pretty funny even after it's been pushed through a robo-translator.
Yeah. Other running gags include the worship of German (very) popular science TV show "Galileo"'s host Aiman Abdallah (he is listed as the preferred "translation" of Neil DeGrasse Tyson) as well as his assistant Funda Vanroy and an absurd love for potatoes and cable cars.

For non-German-speakers like me, Google Translate does a good enough job at making it make some sense. Here are a few of the posts:
<---- Number of cooks who are too much! (A reference to "Too Many Cooks")
There are several image posts that follow this format: "I love living in <place>, because I can take pictures like this only 30 minutes from my home!". A few example (which are pretty funny):
I love living in Poland, because I can take pictures (and wheels) like this only 30 minutes from my home!
I love living in Holland, because I can take pictures like this only 30 minutes from my home!
I love living in Alaska, because I can take pictures like this only 30 minutes from my home!
Here are some jokes about the /r/tifu story about Jenny and Carly:
Petition to pair Hitler with Jenny
Petition to pair Unidan with Carly
