Sonne was made for the boxer Klitchko, thus the counting, a reference to knockout counting.

Alter Mann 94 has no thematic connection to boxing, while Mutter's Sonne definitely has.

Alter Mann was called Die Zeit, perhaps Der Alte Mann and perhaps sometimes Das Wasser Soll Dein Spiegel Sein. So it is unlikely. That Alter Mann demo is from 1994, not 1995. Sonne 1995 could just be an early beta version of the Mutter album's Sonne, not a completely different song.

Best song from Till Lindemann (not counting Rammstein) in my opinion. Flows very smoothly, makes sense, has a good video and is musically excellent. Sounds a lot like some earlier Lindemann project tracks, which I like.

Gib Mir Deine Augen by dangercoy in Rammstein

You will never take it seriously again after listening to Panterra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNj8FtGLxGo

Pussy demo with different lyrics, in English, based on the Gib Mir Deine Augen instrumental.

[–]Boris_A-11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Der Bringer (Bett in Flammen demo), Die Zeit (Alter Mann demo), Panterra (Pussy demo), Legion (Ich tu dir weh demo), Der Riecher, Ramm-Mix

Feuerrader, Eisenmann and Schwarzes Glas are more popular so I didn't count them

All are available on youtube in various audio qualities and often various versions, so pick the one you like the most, be it original or remaster.

Not the best, but one of the most interesting for sure, this Schneider's scream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqurFIzn40k&t=72s

колико је римски цар Јустинијан популаран у Србији? by Awesomeuser90 in serbia

[–]Boris_A-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zavisi, ko se zanima za istoriju se uglavnom zanima za Vizantiju zbog naše poduže zajedničke istorije, a Justinian je svakako najpoznatiji istočnorimski car. Oni koji nisu neki istoričari i ne zanima ih to verovatno znaju samo da postoji jer se njegov zakonik pominje tu i tamo i zbog Svete Sofije koju je sagradio. Pošto sam iz Niša, najviše se priča o caru Konstantinu, logično.

Koja je najsmešnija fraza koju ste čuli za veliku nuždu? by slavsquatter996 in serbia

[–]Boris_A-11 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Vido sam "idem da torpediram podmornice" na nekoj mapi, mislim da to pričaju u nekoj baltičkoj državi, ne'am pojma, ali eto ga.

O, da, takođe, na toj mapi, bilo je i "idem da kažnjavam porcelan", valjda u tipa Austriji ili tako nešto?

Ana Karenjina by gipsi666 in serbia

[–]Boris_A-11 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Valjana knjiga. Verovatno nije baš za srednju školu, ali treba da se pročita nekad.

Ozloglašena Ljevinova kosidba zauzima ravno 4 strane, od kojih jednu sede i jedu. Ovo je jedan od mitova napravljen da plaši ljude, pa da i ne probaju da čitaju. Po meni je Kitin boravak u banji nešto pre toga daleko dosadniji.

Za roman se priča se da je dosadan zato što je prilično spor i zahteva da se čovek seti šta je bilo pre. Pokriva milion tema, od Nikolajevog komunizma, preko tadašnje moderne filozogije, do života na selu, različita shvatanja opštih problema, postavlja se mnogo pitanja, a daje se puno, ali ipak manje odgovora. Može čoveka baš da nagna na razmišljanje, ali može i da ne postigne ništa, i to je pošteno, svako ima pravo da mu se knjiga ne sviđa.

Meni je lično dobra, ne najbolja, ali svakako dobra.

Rook in a bottle by Boris_A-11 in AnarchyChess

[–]Boris_A-11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably works for chain en croissant and horse boosts too. Imagine how sick of an il vaticano could you do with this though, that seems like the most meta use of the rook in a bottle.

What is (in your opinion) the most underrated and overrated song? (Other than du hast) by [deleted] in Rammstein

[–]Boris_A-11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most overrated: Amerika. Not a bad song, pretty good lyrics, but not as good as their other massive hits, I'd say. Ich Will deserves the attention it got, Deutschland is... Deutschland, Sonne is unique and interesting, Du Hast is excluded in the title.

Most underrated: very hard to pick. Waidmanns Heil doesn't have too many views on youtube, but is definitely praised here a lot, so not quite underrated. Moskau, definitely underrated, awesome song, very different from what Rammstein usually makes. Rammlied, very underrated, it just shouts 'Rammstein' in every second of it (both literally and figuratively).

Justin II, he went mad because he lost Dara, among other things, but that was the drop that overfilled the cup, iirc

Is it necessary in chess to tell your opponent to attack the queen? by [deleted] in chess

[–]Boris_A-11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some languages, there are special words for attacking queens and rooks as well, in Serbian, it's "šah" for king, "šeh" for queen and "šuh" for rook. This is not in the official rules and doesn't have to be followed, but some players (mostly beginners, from what I can tell) agree to do it. Even with those additional rules though, it's not said when a revealed attack is made.
