That warm blue does look cozy, in that it looks like the color that your dad’s old too-short shorts were in the 70s.

I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but what’s an example of a warm blue? I can’t imagine it.

Turnabout is fair play. Remember when trump coughed on him in the 2020 debates?

What about the can of glue?

You have to cherry pick to post a meme like this

Winzig-weich took way too long for the payoff, but generally I chuckle a little. I do absolutely worry that I’m internalizing bad English linguistic interference though

I’m a native English speaker with very good German married to a native German speaker and every few weeks I come across something that I just don’t get. My husband has now developed a Pavlovian response to me saying “so you remember Zangendeutsch?”

If you don’t think to bring something with you, you have to go back and get it (for example)

We take the concept of consent to some very strange places

Doctors also influence the avoidance of holidays there

I had air conditioning growing up and my family tends to make desserts more in the winter.

The first summer living on my own, I made a beautiful blueberry pie, and the next morning I took it out of the microwave (to keep bugs away during the night- I have since learned this was also an idiosyncrasy from my parents. Most people just cover it) and it was already visibly moldy.

I’m glad I got a slice the first day, and I definitely learned a lesson but holy shit was it a surprise.

Thank you! That’s it exactly

Where’s the copypasta of someone analyzing this way too hard when you need it and good god, why is google so shitty?

Oof

This is the problem.

When the author of the most widely read children’s books is media illiterate, how are we surprised that critical thinking skills are down?

American living in Germany, working happily at a German bakery. Brötchen can be absolutely spectacular and I love German bread, but I still miss bagels. I’ve never had a good one here, but the ones you find in the grocery store are basically similar to grocery store bagels in the US(though sometimes they’re not boiled here, which explains why they might seem like Brötchen with a hole).

It’s honestly similar to good Laugengebäck, just without the taste of lye (Lauge), which makes sense. If that’s not appealing to you, sure, but my homemade bagels (which are good but not spectacular, compared to some bagels I’ve had) have always been a hit among the Germans I’ve made them for.
