  • From the Eastern German "Democratic Republic":

    Chairman Honecker steps out on his balcony in the morning and greets the sun:
    "Good morning, dear sun!"
    The sun replies:
    "Good morning, dear Comrade Honecker!"

    After lunch, Honecker again steps out on his balcony:
    "Good afternoon, dear sun!"
    The sun replies:
    "Good afternoon, dear Comrade Honecker!"

    In the evening, Honecker steps out once more:
    "Good night, dear sun!"
    The sun replies:
    "Fuck you, asshole! I'm in the west now!"

  • I haven't lived under it obviously, but here's one from early Nazi Germany:

    Mr. Schmidt returns from a 1-year sentence of political re-education in the Dachau concentration camp.
    His neighbor asks what it's like inside.

    He says "Oh, it's really not as bad as you hear. In the morning, you can sleep in till 9. There's a hearty breakfast with eggs and bacon. Then you get leasure time till 11, you can read books from the library, do sports or just relax. They invite you to educational or political lectures if you like. Lunch is a 3 course meal. In the afternoon, after another hour of leisure time, you can choose from a wide variety of activities. Dinner is luxurious, and you get to enjoy free time again until lights are out at 11pm. It was really quite enjoyable, and I learned a lot about what great things the Fuhrer and the party are doing for Germany."

    The neighbor is surprised: "Really? That sounds so different from what Mr. Schneider from down the block said. He told everyone it was horrible and inhumane, and that the nazi guards were monsters."

    Schmidt says "Oh, but he couldn't have hated it that much. Last thing I heard, he's already gone back inside."

  • He said all the technical questions concerning the project had been solved apart from finding a solution on how to cool the nuclear reactor.

    That's generally the hard part in running a nuclear reactor. Especially if you don't have access to water. Or air.

  • I discovered yesterday that Windows has a command line package manager in Powershell that can install, uninstall and update basically every software you might ever want to install on a Windows PC.
