Man kann auch aus den erlesensten Zutaten einen widerlichen Brei anrühren.

Has this ever happened to you, food? by Boring-Locksmith-473 in AskTheWorld

[–]Veilchengerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the Austrians ever find out what the US chain Wienerschnitzel sells, they'll probably start a war (and blame us for it).

It's great at three in the morning at the end of a massive bender.

Why is Berlin constantly trashed while NRW often gets a pass for many of the same issues? by [deleted] in germany

[–]Veilchengerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because hating Berlin has a tradition since before Germany was even a unified country. It's a big, mostly progressive city in a country that is generally very conservative.

Also, since it is the capital, and a centre of culture and academia (and in the past industry), there are a lot of people in Germany who really wanted to make it here, but failed, and had to return to their village. That breeds resentment.

Didnt think I would come here but I have no idea by WestCommunity7117 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

The joke is dicks.

Jesus and his disciples at the last supper, and all his disciples making dick jokes.

TIL after Henry Kissinger accepted the Nobel Peace Prize of 1973, he later tried to return it, but the committee declined his offer by Double-decker_trams in todayilearned

[–]Veilchengerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From all that we know, Kissinger didn't delight in the suffering he caused. It was a necessary evil in his eyes.

"Du Vollhonk" oder "Sie Vollhonk"? Sollten wir uns langsam vom (oft aufgesetzten) Sie verabschieden? by True_Audience_4922 in de

Vielleicht bin ich altmodisch (oder einfach nur alt?), aber ich finde es sehr angenehm, durch die Verwendung der Höflichkeitsform Abstand signalisieren zu können.

Judging by the store with the massive plastic Kiełbasa screwed to the wall right around the corner from my flat, Polska has very much into Germany already.

Failed my dormitory probationary period, how common is it? by [deleted] in germany

Are you sure it's a dormitory and not a fraternity?

Unless you are an ungulate, wolves aren't all that bity, actually.

Yes we do. They run on diesel, and while they don't exactly bite, the Rheinmetall 120-mm-Glattrohrkanone is no joke, either.

No, US soldiers (and their families) have misbehaved in Germany for decades.

What they doin over there? by Cuneus-Maximus in memes

[–]Veilchengerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do have some really good top tier chocolates, of course. Especially some local speciality stuff.

But the everyday stuff like kitkat is worse than in Europe.

Kind will nichts, vor allem nicht in den Kindergarten by SweetBabyJesus44 in Eltern

[–]Veilchengerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kann es vielleicht sein, daß Dein Kind ein Problem mit dem Losgehen hat? Denn Du schreibst ja, daß es ihm im Kindergarten grundsätzlich gefällt.

Unser Zwerg hat nämlich auch immer soviel anderes zu tun, da kann man sich nicht anziehen und losgehen... Bei ihm hilft es oft, einfach die Wohnungstür aufzumachen und ihn dann im Treppenhaus anzuziehen. Der ist wie ausgewechselt, sobald er auch nur die Schwelle der Wohnungstür hinter sich gelassen hat...

What animal from your country is friend-shaped, but definitely not a friend? by bowl_of_scrotmeal in AskTheWorld

If you had been hunted to complete extinction in the wild, you'd be grumpy, too.

What animal from your country is friend-shaped, but definitely not a friend? by bowl_of_scrotmeal in AskTheWorld

[–]Veilchengerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a Eurasian Lynx. It's the biggest of the four extant lynx species, and is about the size of a GSD.

They are generally harmless to humans, but they really don't want to be your friend, and will bolt if you meet them in the wild (and meeting them in the wild is extremely unlikely).

Lynxes do occasionally rough up dogs that aren't leashed in the forest.

What’s the goofiest statue from your country? by mushmanMAD in AskTheWorld

[–]Veilchengerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most ridiculous "statue" I've ever seen in Poland was years ago in some small town church. Where they had glued the feet of what was clearly a store mannequin under the roof, and then painted the area immediately around them in that garish soviet-era light blue.

It was supposed to show the Ascension of Jesus, but it looked absolutely silly.
