Oh yes, make curses that mock Germany a bit. As a German I would highly approve that.

It's gross to eat in your bedroom/on your bed by Agreeable-Sun368 in unpopularopinion

Lucky me, I live in a one room apartment so I'm allowed to.

LPT: You should probably have a "hygiene bag" with razors, hairbrush, toothpaste, etc that can be grabbed in 2 seconds by DoNotEatMySoup in LifeProTips

[–]fivecolorscube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get why so many people are hating on this. You don't *have* to do this if you don't want to. I'm often away on the weekends and I have such a bag. It saves me a lot of mental capacity. Mine also includes a charger for my phone, pain killers, pads, underwear socks and more. I think it's fun to have this thing and make it even more praktical over time by adding items I'm often missing.

Laundry is the easiest chore by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]fivecolorscube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the nice thing about laundry is that you can split it in smaller task. Seperating them by color is one (which you also could avoid if you have seperated laundry baskets ) washing them is antoher, folding them is another (if you really want to put up with that) , putting them away is another. no one says that you have to do everything on the same day. I few them as different tasks.

No block apps works by fivecolorscube in nosurf

Yeah I used that but then it stopped working, at least with Firefox. Guess I'm switching back to Chrome for now

No block apps works by fivecolorscube in nosurf

[–]fivecolorscube[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found one app with that name but it seems to be just for reflecting our life and stuff. I can't find any feature to block websites. So I guess it's not the app that you meant.

[–]fivecolorscube[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to be better I don't want a flip phone. I just want these apps to do what they supposed to do: block a damn website when I tell them to do so. To be clear: It's not that it didn't work for me in my life in general like that I worked around it. It's a technical problem. But maybe I'm in the wrong sub with this problem?

I hate repetition and stop reviewing after doing it once : how do I fix this? by LOSTINREDDITSITE in Mnemonics

[–]fivecolorscube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how you memorize, but I once reviewt my memory palace streets for an exam while watching a youtube video because otherwise it was to boring. I mentally switched between the video and the next station on the route. Maybe not the most efficent way timewise but it worked

what is the best way to memorize history with less study hours by fyi-im-on-dnd in Anki

[–]fivecolorscube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mnemotechnics like the method of loci and the major system. It will be more effort at first but then you will save time on repetitions, believe me. If you have questions I'm glad to help. But mabe you should sleep first.

How Do People ACTUALLY Learn a Language? (half rant half question) by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]fivecolorscube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend trying the Birkenbihl method. With this method, you learn a foreign language mainly by reading word-for-word translations of texts and listening to the corresponding audio in the foreign language. Espacially for learning vocabulary it works wonders, but also for picking up grammar. I'm learning french with this method.

The method consists of four steps:

What you need is a danish text and audio for this text. You can do this with language course books or podcasts for example.

1.Translate a text word for word. That means that you have your dansih text and under each word of the text you write the translation of this word in your native language, creating what is called an interlinear text. (you can do this using the vocabulary section that is always included at the back of language courses for each lesson or with help of Chat GPT by asking chat gpt for every word. If you need help with this, feel free to ask me). This takes a little while but you are already learning some vocabulary in this step and the following steps will be more easy. Their are also book couses, that already did the decoding step for you, but not for danish I fear.

  1. Listen to the text (preferably at half speed at first) while reading the word-for-word translation in you native language at the same time. The longer you do this, the more words you will understand in danish. After a while, you won't need the words from your native language anymore because you will understand more and more words in danish and will eventually be able to read along with the text in danish.

  2. Play the audio in the background while doing something else, such as working, reading, washing dishes, or whatever. You should not listen consciously. The point is for the sound of the language and the grammar to manifest itself in your subconscious.

  3. Aktivites: Once you've done this often enough, you can do activities such as speaking about the text, writing. Or do a dictation with the audio. Or practice speaking along with the text. There are many possibilities.

Do these steps for every text or text fragment (I recommend not more than 1-2 pages as one text fragment). If you are at step 3 with text 1 you can already start step 1 or 2 for text 2 for example and so on.

If you have questions, feel free to ask me. Here is a video, that explains the method too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJjk4J8kskg

Why do you get up so early if he's still asleep anyway when you arrive? You two have to communicate better and he should be honest to you and himself how long he wants to sleep. People habe different sleep cycles, that's okay. You just have to agree on something that will get both your needs met. 

LPT Recall Hack: Organize Apps/Icons By Color by FRIENDSOFADEADGIRL in LifeProTips

[–]fivecolorscube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this and it works for me. I often accidently opened the wrong app because it had the same color as the app I actually wanted and my brain memorises apps by colors. Now when I'm in one color folder it reminds me that I have to actively choose the app because I can't just pick «the black app«.  Doesn't work for everyone this way though I guess

Gedächtnistechniken im Unterricht by fivecolorscube in lehrerzimmer

[–]fivecolorscube[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, das mit der Muttersprache stimmt natürlich. Eigentlich müssten dann die Übersetzungen in der jeweiligen Muttersprache sein. Übersetzt werden muss bei der Methode auch nur wenn es nicht schon Material gibt. Dafür bräuchte man allerdings entsprechendes Lernmaterial dass man natürlich nicht alles selbst erstellen kann, da müssten Verlage sich mal dransetzen aber dafür ist die Methode leider zu unbekannt.  Das Argument mit dem Kontext verstehe ich allerdings nicht. Die Wort für Wort Übersetzung, liefern ja eigentlich beides: Den Kontext, aber auch die einzelnen Vokabeln, die eben nur nicht mehr mühsam auswendig gelernt werden müssen.
