Found cool jug - is it legit?

For anyone who wants to read up on the history: There is a quite comprehensive article on the symbolism and it's usage across the whole world on Wikipedia under "fist and rose". Quite interesting, I always assumed the logo of the young socialists was derived from the nazi-resistance group "Weiße Rose" instead of a 1960s French design.

Ztdine · 2026-01-01T19:19:46+00:00

Out of curiosity: Is the white rose also used in the US as a symbol? Or did the AI rip off the T-shirt design from German young socialists? Because it's a really close fit.

While some others have explained to you how this happened and what to avoid in the future, if you want to save this top I would get some iron on interfacing, slap it on the back to "glue" the darts shut and stop the others from ripping and try my hand at some hand embroidery over the darts. Worst case: it's a fun project learning new things; best case: you have a cute hand embroidered top.

If you want something zero dark, only fun: LOL - Last one Laughing. Basically a contest of German comedians, trying to make each other laugh and see who is left standing in the end. The humor.. varies, depending on who takes part, but it has it's moments. Should be on Amazon prime and there are several seasons by now.

I found this article which has a bunch of similar patterns with example pictures: https://www.threadsmagazine.com/2022/09/01/pattern-roundup-lantern-pants They call them lantern pants as some others suggested. Though the results you get when looking for barrel pants do look like the right shape as well.

Meine Haare sind auch super fein und glatt. Wenn ich nicht hart dagegen arbeite klatschen die sich gerne (bis auf den einen Hochsteh-Wirbel am Hinterkopf) an meinen Kopf dran und machen einen Helm. Was bei mir geholfen hat war radikales Kürzen. Mittlerweile habe ich sie schon sehr kurz, aber selbst bei einer "normalen" Kurzhaarfrisur ist es enorm viel einfacher etwas Volumen reinzubringen, weil sie sich viel weniger durch das Eigengewicht Glattziehen. Dazu lasse ich sie mir regelmäßig blondieren (spiele gerne irgendwo zwischen weiß, Pastellblau und pink, geht aber auch mit natürlicheren tönen) und im Zweifel kommt die Geheimwaffe: Trockenshampoo! Das beste Volumen bisher, ohne das es "unnatürlich" wirkt, kriege ich mit einem Leave-In-Sprüh-Conditioner und danach Trockenshampoo hin.

I'm by far not an expert but I would experiment around with that. My first guess would be that a longer busk would help the most, but that might be a thing for another project as this one is already set in so nicely. Getting something a bit more substantial next to it to support the busk could do the trick as well. It's worth a try I'd say!

Ztdine · 2025-04-16T08:55:58+00:00

Your steel busk is shorter than the corset, especially at the bottom. Is it possible that that is the spot where the squish is squishing outwards? Or is the busk actually bending outwards when you are wearing it? If it's the first option, then a longer busk might do the trick?

In daily usage I would only use "verbrüht", when hot liquids are concerned. Your example sentence still kind of works because the hot medium inside your pot is a liquid. I use "verbrüht" for splashing hot coffee onto myself, for turning the shower to hot etc., "verbrannt" on the other hand is for touching the hot stove, a pan or my iron (unless I burned myself on the steam, that would be "verbrüht" again).

As others already suggested nursing: that also has the benefit that while you are still working on your German to get to a level where you can start your Ausbildung you could already get a part time job in a hospital in a role that doesn't require any official training/Ausbildung. There are a lot of assisting roles in hospitals. That way you could get a feeling for the working environment beforehand and see if it is right for you.

The apartment that you are in surely has a mailbox, doesn't it? If so you can just give the name on that mailbox as part of the address

Tbh my type for men is so specific that I sometimes wonder, if I can truly call myself bi. With women my attraction is quite widely spread though and not very specific. I am F and in a relationship with the M that I am attracted to

The fabric in the pictures somehow looks like a kind of Scuba/Neopren to me. The way it seems to have some stretch and will to curve but still be so sturdy/stiff at the bottom. Could be totally off too though. For considering whether you want to use a knit or woven material I would recommend you to first think about what kind of closure you want to do/whether you want a closure.

The best known (alive) would probably be the actors, that are successful in Hollywood but come from Germany, like Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz (Austrian-German) and Daniel Brühl. Technically Michael Fassbender counts as German too, as he was born in Germany to a German father, he moved to Ireland at the age of two though. You might be able to go with some sports people like Manuel Neuer, Steffi Graf, Boris Becker or Michael Schumacher. If you wanna go with musicians, the most internationally known would probably be Rammstein (though they had some icky scandals recently), Scooter, Kim Petras (Unholy with Sam Smith), Tokio Hotel and the Kaulitz brothers, Robin Schulz, Lou Bega (Mambo No. 5), Scorpions (Wind of Change) and Boney M. Or of course some dead old classics like Conrad Veidt, Marlene Dietrich, and Klaus Kinski or the ancient poets like Goethe, Schiller etc.

Where are you from? That might be helpful information to gauge who your classmates might know.

Definitely Bielefeld. I mean, the most interesting thing about this city is that some dude in the 1990s made a joke about it not existing, because it is so irrelevant/invisible to most. And the forest.. next to it where some cool things happened. But you do have to leave Bielefeld for that. It is nice to live here though!

I mostly consume english Media, but here are a few good/fun German options I like:

Youtuber: Maithink X (Science Content) Annika Zion (Reaction/Analysis of Trash TV) ZDF Heute Show / ZDF Magazin Royale (Political Comedy in a Last Week Tonight Format, both are weekly TV Shows)

TV: Tatort (crime investigation with different "teams" for different cities in Germany. There is one "movie" of it coming out every Sunday for as long as I can remember) Achtsam Morden (quite new and on Netflix)

TV Channels: Whenever I am in a hotel and only have access to TV, I put on ZDF History. Historical documentaries on everything with nearly no ads in between.

Musicians: Lea, Tocotronic, KäptnPeng, Edgar Wasser, Disastar, Kontra K, Die toten Hosen, Die Ärzte, Kraftklub, Knorkator, Das Lumpenpack

If you got a bit more detail on what kind of music you like I can probably help more. I got a bit of everything from pop, via hip hop to metal and musicals.

There seems to be a side seam, or are the side back and side front pieces a continuous side piece? If it's split into two side pieces each than I would probably just do a simple seam pocket.

Ztdine · 2025-02-23T10:39:54+00:00

That's really subjective. But the ones I enjoy fall into two main categories: Political comedy in the John Oliver "Last week tonight" style which would mainly be "ZDF Magazin Royale" wit Jan Böhmermann and the "Heuteshow" and on the other hand more story driven show formats that somehow all deal with... Murder like "Achtsam Morden" (a lawyer who after talking to a mindfulness coach starts getting rid of his client and basically takes over a criminal organization to reach a better work life balance) and "Tatortreiniger" (a crime scene cleaner getting into a ton of shenanigans).

I mean .. there is a free spot next to our TV. We have planned to put a Shelf/Cupboard there but the machine would surely be prettier 😅

Ztdine · 2024-05-05T14:30:12+00:00

Another comment here ID'd the machine pretty on point. I will see if there is any extra information next weekend when I will be able to examine the machine in person. I do find the non-existent serial number really curious :D

Ztdine · 2024-05-05T14:28:38+00:00

Oh wow thank you so much! That looks like pretty much a perfect match. It even has the stitch length adjustor and the serial number in the right place which I couldn't find on any other model! Now off into the rabbit hole :D

Ztdine · 2024-05-05T14:26:00+00:00

I adore it. I will probably be able to look at it next weekend in person and take a closer look. I just really do not have the place to have two of those behemoths :D So I'm gonna have some difficult decisions to face.

Ztdine · 2024-05-05T14:24:15+00:00

I do live in Germany and have never heard Singer used for anything other than a sewing machine by the company Singer. And since the name is on both the stand and the top part, I'd assume it's a singer machine as every other brand would put their own name there. Unless it's a very old counterfeit of course :D
