I like this channel Workshop Companion. He also looks exactly like the kind of person you want to go to, to ask questions about carpentry.

Hippos 🦛 aren’t rhinos 🦏

I have rather long and nimble fingers, but also my fingernails are really thin and soft so I keep them short (otherwise they will break at every opportunity) which is not a good combination to get a hold of can tabs.

I’m german I can only offer you Eisberg

Not my story but from my boyfriend. In English class they were supposed to write a review about a movie. He wrote a negative one about The Last Airbender from M. Night Shyamalan. First she argued that “iceberg” is not an english word (this took place in Germany) and that he should instead use “icy mountain” they had to look it up in a dictionary to convince her otherwise and then she took points away because “why would you write a review about something and not recommend it”.

I’d argue that they got divorced because they were shit people and then they couldn’t cope and became more shitty or their initial shitness was projected more outward

There are several versions of these kinds of puns in German, one version:

Wenn Grillen Grillen grillen, grillen Grillen Grillen.

When crickets barbecue crickets, then crickets are barbecuing crickets.

So when I eat it it will not suck up moisture at all? Which (I think) would make it indigestible.

The protests in Berlin are not the only ones. According to rather conservative police estimates since beginning of this year around 870.000 people throughout Germany protested against the right shift/Afd and that would be around 1% of the whole population of the country.

Volksverpetzer is a german online medium that deals with fact checks and criticism of disinformation, especially from right wing circles.

A really good friend got me a Le Creuset dutch oven for christmas and I got another used one for relatively cheap and I really love them. I would never buy them new, but they are really well made and I’ve managed to bake some nice sourdough bread with them.

My boyfriend and I were once snapped at during a family gathering because we dared to eat corn on the cob at a barbecue. The argument was something like, “A barbecue is only for meat, everything else is just greens, and the Greens (a german political party) want to ban our schnitzel!!!1!1!” There’s simply nothing else occupying these people’s minds anymore—every topic, no matter how unrelated, somehow always gets dragged back to ThE gReEnS, CoViD vAcCiNaTiOnS, or whatever else.

I’ve rewatched some of the old Disney classics and I was thoroughly disappointed by Hercules. I personally don’t care that much about the mythological accuracy of it but it was just kind of meh my memorys of the movie were much better.

Currently we are decorating the tree then when everyone is here we will eat Hochzeitssuppe and Zungenragout (literal translation would be wedding soup and tongue ragout) which are traditional christmas dishes in our family. Then we open the presents (in Germany you open them usually on Christmas Eve). Tomorrow we will eat roast goose with braised red cabbage and potato dumplings.

So overall just hanging out with family and eating.

At my parents we had a similar drawer with miscellaneous stuff but it was organised so it looked somewhat tidy. Currently I don’t have a drawer like this, cuz I have a tiny kitchen with only one drawer which is reserved for cutlery.

lol I sang Lady Gaga Songs as a kid without a clue about their meaning

I do have an inner monologue and when I try to visualise something the closest thing I can get is my inner monologue describing the features of the thing I’m trying to see. But no picture appears. It’s like my brain only saves the concepts of things, like an apple is round, red, has a little brown stem etc.

I recently saw a video of a girl being able to spell words backwards really fast and the way it was described is that she just saw the text of the word in her mind and just read the letters backwards. That is so fascinating to me because that is just so so far from how my brain works, I don’t see shit.

As a kid I used to lucid dream a lot. I would purposely imagine myself in a world or scenario that I wanted to dream of and when I fell asleep while having those thoughts I would lucid dream. It was fairly easy for me, but for some reason I can’t anymore. I rarely even remember my normal dreams.
