i hope luigi mangione is proven innocent & gets to sue a ton of companies for slander and win & i hope he gets enough money to rebuild his life and get any help for his chronic pain that he needs & i hope he’s able to disappear from the public eye entirely if that’s what he wants
Everyone warns you agaist going to the supermarket hungry, but nobody tells you about the dangers of going there too full: I do not want any of these things, for I will never require any food at all!
I just love the obsession german has with idiomatic little rhymes and alliterations.
Mit Sack und Pack. Glanz und Gloria. Schicht im Schacht. Flinke Füße. Mit Hängen und Würgen. Mehr schlecht als recht. Versuch macht kluch. Klar wie Kloßbrühe. Hätte, hätte, Fahrradkette. Saus und Braus. Ende Gelände.
our speech is full of little flounces and flourishes and tbh it’s adorable of us.
Haus und Hof, Kind und Kegel, Grund und boden, nie und nimmer, Haus und Hof, Feuer und Flamme, rank und schlank. klipp und klar, hab und gut, mit Fug und recht, hinz und kunz
Yea, you had changelings and demonic possession and “brats” and “back talk”, and kids that were “not all there”, your aunt who’s “crazy”, and your second cousin no one ever talks about cuz he’s “special”, and if you’re fucking lucky, your elder uncle who lives a nice quiet life with his 70 lego sets and writes grocery stores about changing the light bulbs cuz they’re too harsh.
not to put this user on blast, but ohmygod this may be the funniest thing i’ve ever seen 😭😭
US-based company YouTube just nuked the government funded channel for HIV prevention in Germany. The channel is purely educational and had no prior (or current) violations.
Assuming you guys get elections again; if I see a single person telling non-US-americans to stay out of it, it’s on sight.
(german source) As of writing, the channel has been reinstated due to public backlash, but is missing several videos.
soccer aid 2025 was basically louis looking pretty and non stop yapping. he spent the entire weekend becoming besties with bella and was constantly yapping with them even after england became losers. throughout the entire match all he did was fix his hair, hand on hips, ass cocked out, run here and there and then went back to yapping. and guess what? he looked hot doing all that and he owned the stadium because every time the ball was in his vicinity the crowd was cheering and he would get all giggly over it. my man got more cheers for just chilling on the field than the people who actually scored goals and that’s on louis tomlinson being the boss
those ads for ai integration on phones are so funny bc it seems like they cant. come up with that many use cases that arent already on a phone? “ask gemini to give you recipes when youre cooking!” “use our AI assistant to find the perfect gift for your girlfriend” yeah or i could just like. google it. you’ve spent millions on a slightly fancier version of an alexa. good job man.
the other day I was chatting idly about needing to buy a birthday present for a cousin’s one-year-old daughter, and asked “what do you even get for a one-year old?” and the other person said “ask chatGPT.” and like… or I could go to amazon or toysrus and type in “girls one year old” and have it serve me the exact same suggestions, with much fewer steps to then go and buy them? why would I used chatGPT to give me the same information less conveniently?? what in god’s name is chatgpt contributing to this interaction???
Because Catholicism and by extension Christianity are so big and normal I don’t think a lot of people consider how strange the Vatican is just conceptually. Like yeah in the capital of a long-dead empire there’s an opulent temple district that acts as it’s own sovereign nation, still speaking the dead language of that empire for their rituals, ruled by a prophet-king chosen by a secret conclave of the high priesthood. Yeah his followers eat a lot of fish in the spring.
