on this planet, with this mankind? dunno

you get coffee and cookies?

gives a great tan

synthetic natural champagne (German calls piss play natural champagne)

and still nobody slaps 😭

being antisocial is the healthiest approach in this society

Why 24 cents for 19.99 dollars?

But also remember, you first have to make sure they’re a Nazi, then the beating can commence

Although I already disagree with the first part, this is where it gets pretty difficult in most cases unless somebody unmistakeably calls themselves a Nazi.

Lol, I know this. I was too young and didn’t understand the lyrics, so it was nothing but “param pampampam” to me

Chimpanzees also display signs of culture among groups, with the learning and transmission of variations in grooming, tool use and foraging techniques leading to localized traditions.

I’m a little bit mad that the US still a higher birth rate than us despite of all that parent hostility.

Without insurance? Yes, it can be that or more.

Though from my German POV I’d expect insurance to cover birth and necessary ambulance 100%

If you are talking about the photo of the photos in EFTA00000468.pdf, that’s back online.

Chael Caine is a great song

Afaik we don’t put out any food on Christmas for the Christ child nor on the 6th for St. Nicolas in Germany. We only put clean boots in front of the front door for St. Nicolas to fill.

Filling of the boots just happens over night.

Gifts under Christmas tree just spawn during Christmas eve. Or they are “still there from Christmas eve” when they are exchanged on a visit during the Christmas holidays (25th and 26th). On 24th the room got locked and it was only opened after a bell rung 🤔

Although there should be regional differences, especially for religious reasons. Christ child isn’t used everywhere afaik. By now the Christ child rather gets depicted as a blonde angel and doesn’t look like depictions of Christ. It doesn’t really matter how an angel enters a locked room. There is also Christmas man which is used as a translation for Santa Clause. He basically acts like the Christ child, but looks like Coca-Cola’s fat Nicolas. (I guess drinking Coca-Cola does that to you). Although there are many color versions of St Nicolas and he is actually supposed do wear a miter, but that part is lost more and more. St. Nicolas was a bishop and supposed to look like a bishop.

EVs are the future. They can use electricity made from any energy source. Electric cars are only a part of EVs.

The cars definitely depend on the use case. They can be a time saver if you can charge at home and that’s sufficient for your commute, while ICE requires a detour to a gas station.

Pedelecs charged at home are still my favorite EV though.

The only Pro-Tesla argument, I hear, is their charging infrastructure

Yes, it’s not a very useful metric. Better would probably amount of people living in urban areas / area of urban areas.

I have a similar situation here in a German village. There are a few supermarkets in 5km distance and more supermarkets + a train station in 10km. But I’m already on the denser country side with having 12 villages in a 5km radius.

I think our bus service is okay as long as it’s not night, weekend or a holiday. With something coming every hour and for 3h half-hourly during afternoon rush hour. How is your bus service?
