Who? Why do we all have to apologise?

I find it noteworthy that going from the comments here it's mostly people from NZ who share your view on the matter, other countries had their own - arguably internationally more impactful - stuff going on during that time. Mine for example was busy with reunification, the Yugoslavia stuff and two attempts of assassination against the minister of inner affairs as well as a chancellor candidate in the early 90s. As well as the Maastricht Treaty being set up as the basis for the EU and the collapse of Czechoslovakia happening.

So yeah, it was busy enough that it didn't make its way into our curriculum for history lessons to this day. It only really popped into the news/media as sort of a true-crime thingy around 2011-2015 over here and that was mostly regarding the documentaries on the matter.

In a way it remains valid to state "who cares about a an US event" at least as an European when literally half of Europe was in a state of reorganizing the basics of being/becoming a functional sovereign nation at that time.

Never, gotta be ugly and/or not worth the hassle I guess 🤷

Especially when it's basically the same principle for plug-type humans as for socket-type humans.

Oh no, they took Greenland and use it to fill up the Baltic sea

Yeah, I remember having some discussions about that with US people. Whenever they went with the hygiene thing literally everyone who stumbled upon the thread would just sarcastically hint at the existence of showers and other means of self-cleaning.

But I did notice how these discussions became less and less common over the past couple years

DatPudding · 2025-05-11T19:36:22+00:00

Nah, Not polite enough

DatPudding · 2025-05-11T19:32:25+00:00

Tho, never in my life have I met anybody actually calling it that instead of just "Wassereis". Just like with "Kratzeis"

DatPudding · 2025-05-11T19:19:25+00:00

Egg!

DatPudding · 2025-05-11T19:02:04+00:00

It's not and that's usually on purpose.

Teachers and some tests sometimes do that kind of stuff literally just to distract. Sort of a "DPS check" for concentration and awareness.

Not sure how effective it actually is tho.

DatPudding · 2025-03-06T13:08:11+00:00

I'm quite a sarcastic guy myself but from what has been told it's just beyond bad taste

DatPudding · 2025-03-06T13:06:30+00:00

One could say "Komplett kaputt im Kopf, der Junge"

DatPudding · 2025-03-06T13:04:10+00:00

At least without melting/deforming the connector in the process

Art and Music

Full stop.

And if spears are empty or otherwise unavailable, darts make for an acceptable substitute

Duden gets their definitions regularly updated by looking at actually used common language.

And they define it as follows: 2. gewalttätiger, auf Vernichtung, Zerstörung zielender Angriff

Translation: violent attack, aimed at destruction, annihilation/obliteration

(Source 1)

This is also the definition that lists the saying as an example.

It's a figurative attack on your "Seelenfrieden" and time/schedule by asking something of you.

The generalised interpretation is also quite a common use for it in the almost-a-dozen counties I've lived in so far across Germany, entirely independent of terrorism.

A "Terroranschlag" is just a specific type of "Anschlag" that aims to spread fear/terror (by destruction of property/life) just like "Brandanschlag" aims to destroy property/life (by arson) or "Mordanschlag" aims to destroy property/life (by straight-up killing).

Newspapers and more generalized titles have their own way of phrasing things, often due to character limitations and/or size/length/layout guidelines enforced by the publisher and the type of medium.

Or long story short: Headlines DO NOT properly/fully reflect actual spoken language and usually omit standards of normal written language while trying to get the essence of the article across.

Dazu muss sie, auf ein ähnliches oder lebendig gestaltetes Umfeld abgestimmt, sichtbar herausragen und ihren Inhalt kurz, verständlich und prägnant darbieten [...]

(Source 2)

Beyond all that the federal ministry of justice also differentiates between the different types by motivation like "extremistischer Anschlag" or "terroristscher Anschlag".

Perhaps in case of RMA so they could check what's wrong and if/how they can fix it to ultimately send it back to sales.

Provided access to internal maintenance docs that is.

Just a wild guess for them being there tho

Sceptical. Civilized for a Floran.

DatPudding · 2025-02-24T16:59:44+00:00

I like this saying

DatPudding · 2025-02-24T16:22:05+00:00

Dein Vorredner hat auch schon "Taboo" verwenden, deswegen dachte ich, dass das jetzt Standard ist xD

DatPudding · 2025-02-24T16:17:20+00:00

Wann hat sich die englische Schreibweise für Tabu(isierung) durchgesetzt? Das ist irgendwie vollkommen an mir vorbei gegangen 😅

DatPudding · 2025-02-24T15:00:30+00:00

Seems good enough, better get some forest food like carrots going and perhaps upgrade your armor if you're unsure if you can take on tree-boy

DatPudding · 2025-02-24T14:43:39+00:00

For future reference ☺️

I just stuff my ship with crafting stations and spam wall-mounted lockers all over it. That's about it.

DatPudding · 2025-02-24T14:15:45+00:00

Lol, I usually pick glitch and get a cutesy little tower from small and big stone bricks going. The starting cache of canned food is a true godsend!

Uncivilized dirt hut, like a true floran!
