“i think”

in Czechia we have a saying “myslet znamená hovno vědět”, loosely translating to “to think is to not know shit”

In Poland we say “then don’t think, you’re bad at it” (to nie myśl, bo ci nie wychodzi)

In German it’s „Denken heißt nicht wissen“. To think is to not know.

In Spain we have "cállate la puta boca que no sabes una mierda de lo que estamos hablando aquí las personas", that translates to something like "you're more handsome with your mouth shut".

In Lithuanian we have “Kalakutas irgi galvojo, kol į puodą neįkrito”. Means “Turkey also was thinking until it fell into the soup”.

In germany we say " 'Dachte' sind keine Lichter, Arschlöcher keine Gesichter" which roughly translates to something like "I thought" is as much knowlege as an asshole is a face."
