This is so cool. A little context:

In germany we sometimes try to be funny (in a nice way - not making fun of native speakers but more of ourselves not being able to translate something), when we translate german phrases to english word-by-word ignoring english grammar resulting in total nonsense. The closest comparable native speaker thing to do I can think of is "I can has cheezburger"[1]

For example: A german artist / comedian named Helge Schneider took the german phrase

  ich brech' zusammen

which would really translate in

  I collapse

but word by word it goes

  I break together
  
  I        => ich
  break    => brechen
  together => zusammen

which must be total nonsense to native speakers. He even took it a little further and replaced break (brechen) with brake (bremsen) to make it even more nonsense - probably only germans can really understand what's really meant [2].

Your phrase is pretty similar for german people (but more understandable to native speakers) - "das Internet geht kaputt" => "the internet will break", but word by word it is:

  the interwebs all go kaput

  the interwebs => das Internet
  goes          => geht
  kaput         => kaputt

Thank you for responding, I did not know that this was a thing - probably interesting for linguists how this came back to native speakers.
