Whenever I said Baden-Württemberg to an English speaker they just say Gesundheit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We got a small hornet nest somewhat nearby. They tend to come over and murder all the asshole wasps which is nice. The hornets are reddish orange, no idea what kind they are but I like them. Otherwise they are super chill and avoid humans.

I'd write a book or something.

Didn't people live in small communities and share stuff for quite some time during the early human times?

My knowledge on history isn't the greatest especially early stuff so Idk. But that's how I'd always imagined things before feudalism and money.

Capital letters too!

I'm just scared of Kölsch beer.

I can forgive the hate for shitty pretzels. It's tough to move away from a great place got food. I still struggle to find good Shawarma anywhere since I moved away from a bigger city.

I mostly meant the combination of things. Also pretzels in the north of Germany are often of pretty meh quality from my experience.

Weißwurst comes to mind as a hopefully just Bavarian thing.

That's a part of Germany I tend to avoid so I didn't know.

When I look at the guy and then at what he did. I think he really looks the part.

🗯️👋🏻

Food in Germany is highly regional. You can have Kebab everywhere. The Sauerkraut beer and pretzels thing is mostly just Bavaria in the south. At the north sea and Baltic sea you got lots of fish naturally. In Hamburg you have Croques, Aalsuppe and further north Lapskaus. In the southern neighbor state to Bavaria you have Spätzle. And so on.

The beer also changes depending on region. Weißbier in the south and more mild beer in general down there. The north prefers beer with stronger taste that is more bitter generally.

There are few German foods which are generally accepted in all regions. Currywurst is one I'd say. Maybe grill Hähnchen as well although in the eat it'll be called Broiler while in the north noone has ever heard that word. Bratkartoffeln might also be pretty universal although ingredients probably differ. Egg or no egg, pickles or not.

Tldr German food is very different depending on region.

I think hating all three goes too far. Now Sauerkraut can be an acquired taste. I get that. Some people would hate on you for hating beer but I get that too. Hating pretzels however shows that you are a horrible person. Or you need to avoid gluten and you are jealous us others can eat pretzels. Cus pretzels are amazing. One of the two.

Only for our wedding.

Made me exhale audibly through my nostrils.

Yeah I always look for apps on fdroid first if I need something. It doesn't have everything but a lot of the time there are great FOSS apps available.

I also love that you can filter apps for different criteria such as privacy, close source dependencies etc.

It's a great project. Reminds me I should tip them some for their great work.

Seriously. Way too many open source projects have bad names. In jokes, oh so clever world plays, programmer humor recursive names and just silly sounding or impossible to pronounce stuff everywhere.

Every powerful tool in the hands of a data collection or targeting company like meta, Google, etc. will be abused to collect data. AI is no exception and without regulation will mark another huge step against privacy and the ability to control who owns your personal data.

Well if one TV boss says so it's gotta be true right?

Well at least the world is still a vast hellscape. Unless you got a good point to make against that too.
