Quick tip for the future: if a word isn't translating, it's probably because it's not an actual word. In this subreddit, people will just translate English words, that exist in the German language, just to drive home the point of it, being a German subreddit. So, if you wanna know what these people are talking about, just pick these words apart and enter them into the translator seperately. A few examples: Winzigweich --> Winzig+weich = tiny+soft --> Microsoft Du-Röhre --> Du+Röhre = You+Tube --> KZbin Wildschweinwarzen --> Wildschwein+Warzen = Boar + Warts --> Hogwarts (You figured this one out on your own, in a previous video.) If this doesn't work, then they're probably using a regional dialect. In this case there's not much you can do.

For people who lost a loved one back than it must have been traumatising. My first thought with Ryans reaction was "oh no, he didn't lose someone there right?" Americans have done the same brutal things that humans worldwide seem to be capable of, but innocent people died and left innocent people mouring them. There's no payback oder justification for that.

14:13 this meme refers to a moroccan song for children called "A ram sam sam", which for some reason, is really popular in Germany. The most memorable line in the refrain goes "guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam." Since German children tend not to understand, that guli is arabic for "tell me", they just associate it with the closest German word: "Gulli", which translates to "manhole cover".

[@lhering]

Quick side note: young Potterheads usually replace the following line "a rafiq, a rafiq" with "Avada Kedavra"

the Bahncard 100 is interesting because its a 100 discount on ANY train ride so you literally can just hop onto any train in germany without having to pay it actually is worth it after about 80 train rides, so for any frequent traveller who has to travel often on short notice

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I noticed it similar with time cards. We have single ride (or rather 2 hr) tickets, day passes, week passes, and month passes. After 3 rides a day ticket becomes cheaper, after 3 days a week ticket becomes cheaper than buying day tickets, and after 3 weeks a monthly ticket becomes cheaper than buying week tickets. And there are obviously bulk discounts, 4 and 10 ticket bulk save about 7% compared to a single ticket. And a subscription for monthly cards saves about 12% compared to individual monthly tickets. Which means if you take 20 rides per month, a monthly subscription is cheaper than buying individual tickets.

Die Bahn ist ein Staatsbetrieb und kein gutes Beispiel für Kapitalismus

[@tobiasbayer4866]

​@@hessidave Das ist nicht ganz richtig. Die Bahn ist kein Staatsbetrieb, es ist quasi ein Unternehmen was zu 100% dem Staat gehört. In der Praxis bedeutet das, dass sie trotzdem mit Profitabsicht agieren müssen, aber gleichzeitig viel staatliche Hilfe kriegen. Ein Faktor für die schlechte Qualität ist die Tatsache das neue Schienen oder Schienen zu ersetzen von Staat übernommen werden, Wartung aber von der Bahn gezahlt werden muss. Und da man möglichst viel Profit machen will werden die Strecken absichtlich kaputt gefahren ohne Wartung damit man selber nichts zahlen muss. Wäre die Bahn ein reiner Staatsbetrieb wäre sie deutlich besser dran.

Feuer & Flamme starts this year with its 8th season (now in Duisburg). Season 1-2 were in Gelsenkirchen and 3-7 were in Bochum. All three cities are in the Ruhr metropolitan area (Ruhrgebiet). WDR (West German Broadcasting - public-broadcasting institution for North-Rhine-Westphalia) is the producing institution of the series. And it hit its expectations so well, that it will have its spin-off next year. So yes, I think it's worth a try. It shows the work (and social life on the fire departments) of firefighters without any narrator or off-voice. Only firefighters are commenting it. The joke here is its popularity and the changing fire departments. Also the Ruhr-Area has many many fire departments ^^

The power sockets become even more impressive if you see the plugs. The same plug that (CEE 7/7) goes into the german/korean socket (CEE 7/3) also has a hole to take the french ground pin (and is thus compatible to french CEE 7/5 sockets), fits into the danish socket (top right, buh without connecting earth) It also y takes the ungrounded european Type C / CEE 7/16 europlug, and is compatible to a wide vareity of russian sockets ( one shown in themiddle right) And the pin distance is the same as on the swiss/brazilian ICE 60906-1 / Type N socket (bottom right) and the italian 1A Type L socket (bottom left) so the socket accepts those plugs if they are ungrounded. Extra bonus: the plug is reversible. So if the cable goes the wrong way, you can just unplug it, turn it around, and route the cable on the other side.

5:40 indeed that would be illegal, because the landlord blocks the emergency exit. It's one thing if you live alone in your own house and have to take responsibility for yourself. But the landlord would have responsibility for the safety of the house. They even took care of fire alarms here. It is a different thing when the house rules (and renting contract) mandate that the house door is to be locked at night. Usually to prevent burglers and general strangers from hanging around in the house. But even then you get a key. You get a key to the house, a key to your apartment, a key to your mailbox, and keys to all other places that might be attached, like a basement room, a backdoor to the bicycle room, a shared garbage bin, a shared laundry room, the gate to the backyard parking area, etc.

And thr pictures are from the german series “Sendung mit der Maus” which is a classic in most german families where they explain things children have questions about (for example how a train is constructed) with some sketches of the “Maus” in between

Oh and we do have vacuum cleaners lol

[@n3xxuswt]

11:35 that face XDDDD

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Oh, E-Bikes are real bikes. And for the most part they assist the rider, not do all the work for you. But they're especially useful when driving fast and/or over hilly terrain. But the assist is also helpful for less athletic people. (like seniors, overweight, injured, disabled, etc) You can get around, you can use your body, but you have some help.

1:05 May 1st; (In German 1. Mai): "1st of May is known as Day of Work (Tag der Arbeit), Labor Day, International Day of Struggle for the Working Class or May Day. It is a public holiday in Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Austria, Belgium, parts of Switzerland and many other countries." On that day, many people don't do anything and just laze around, some party and drink. And a lot of people are dancing into May. Big parties start on April 30th from 8/9 p.m. and last until the next day, May 1st. Sometimes you plan to do something useful on your day off, like doing housework, but then you don't do it and you're just lazy. Germans know how to work hard. But we also know how to party hard and lounge hard. but everything is always strictly separated. Because in Germany we say "Erst kommt die Arbeit, dann das Vergnügen" (first comes the work, then the pleasure).

the airplane meme joke is: this is a most common phrase that is used in germany when feeding babies and has nothing to do with the dark association. its just if you put it into this connection is suddenly becomes extremely dark

[@enoiladoe]

13:44 "for that price the train better be on time" laughs in db customer 😅

[@kischtrine]

Oh. Men do point out grey hair on women. My coworker came up to me knowing I was going through depression. And he said that my hair is getting grey and I certainly would feel better when I would dye it, because then I would look better… 🙄

[@clauslangenbroek9897]

I don't understand this kind of interactions. I point out such things to my friends, too (and the other way round,) but never in a condescending way nor out of the blue. It is pretty normal and inevitable, after all.

[@hennik7570]

13:48 the funny thing is the trains are never on time

[@derFuchsi]

"Here comes the airplane... 😐😐😐😐😐" lol

[@meisterbastler]

11:21 That´s what German parents say to babies when feeding them. And btw. YES, i´m ashamed for this tasteless meme!

[@EvaCornelia]

I had EXACTLY the same reaction as Ryan seeing this airplane meme. I just didn't leave the room. And even though I'm German, I have no kids and nobody who fed me as a kid told me an airplane was coming. My mother was scared of airplanes.

[@zbeqem9507]

1:24 at 1st may we have the so called " day of work" in germany. Its basically a traditionally holiday for cleaning up your house.

[@alexradojkovic9671]

7:00... He is visiting northern Germany, learning how to say the local hello (Moin). Reverts to his southern German hello (Servus). 12:05... That room needs cleaning. (Refer to 11:05) The German ancestry in me.

[@Doc_Rainbow]

As a paramedic i would love to see feuer und flamme reacts from you 😄

[@maxo.6418]

You absolutely need to See feuer und Flamme its one of the best Shows about firefighting ive ever see

[@sv98753]

well that airplane joke really hit him sideways lol

[@kohlenstoffeinheit5298]

I think the face was not the point of interest of the tower logo xD It's not devious, it's rather lewd... 🤣

[@hellemarc4767]

Brushes (not hairbrushes) work well on rugs and carpets. Before vacuums, rugs would be hung up and beaten with an object that looked a little like a tennis racket. The first of May is a holiday, here, people don't work and stores are closed (bars and restaurants are open). The verb "umstellen" can have two meanings: "to change" (e.g. the diet) but also "to put on different spots" (therefore, chocolate now on the right hand side and chips on the left, the contrary of how it was before). For the "cheap apartment", I guess he only has found a girlfriend with a place where he can stay, not an actual apartment for himself. Not to give him keys and lock him in would obviously be illegal. "Moin" means "good morning" (short for "guten Morgen"), but in more northern parts of Germany, it's used as a greeting all day long, whether it's morning, afternoon or evening. "Servus" is a greeting used in Bavaria, mostly, and in Austria.

[@Keksemann666]

What a great meme lol 11:50

[@christian84726]

7:45 that was the correct one everytime the commercial came u wanted to punch ur TV, It hurts to Hear it Saitenbacher

[@Sena121]

Im a bit ashamed but i have to admit, as a german man i had to giggle like a little girl the moment the american was translating the fucking Plane-Joke^^'

[@felsenfest_ueberzeugt]

7:00 In the north of Germany they say Moin as a greeting and in the south they say Servus. It's about someone from the south who is in the north.

[@Nikolauch_II]

11:33 The moment of realisation 😂

[@Ilias_Goddess]

fun fact - deutsche bahn is never on time

[@InsertGreatChannelName]

Recently I had multiple trains come on time I am still shocked and it's a month ago.

[@MiaMerkur]

Some are in time, some are leaving even too early, only most are late. The time seems to be accurate like we are in germany and not in Africa like " Bus arrives 2 times/ day at dawn and at dusk. But people of Deutsche Bahn themselves told at several occasions: It is an about xy time.

[@SidneyKenson]

11:33 The moment his soul left his body on realizing.

[@jodelyokel9212]

14:30 took me a moment too because "german memes" (in reddit?) tend to translate words WORD FOR WORD (even the once written together in english) so that winzigweich mannschaft is micro soft team.

[@abocrafter643]

Most of the memes were ass, but your reaction to the airplane one was hilarious!!😂

[@Lau_Lau112]

Feuer und Flamme is a documentary serie about Firefighters and Paramedics in Germany its realy interesting you shuold watch it

[@Skrylex_]

7:50 i don‘t realy know why the meme exists, but the original one was „Pepo“ petting a cat, nut in germany we don‘t write „Gatze“, instead we write „Katze“ and what you habe looked at there was that squid thingy which can hurt and Pepo again, pets / streichelt the Feuergatze

[@creepy_3031]

“Feuer und Flamme” is a really good fire department documentary series where they have GoPros on ACTUAL fires and not some faked bs

[@eybrouw13]

the 1st of may is a holiday called Tag der Arbeit (day of work) on wich you don't have to work

[@steemlenn8797]

The English equivalent is Labor Day.

[@Blacksyrio1988]

15:20 With something like that you just have to say : "wanna see my grey hair downtown to?" and you have silence Greetings from germany You are my favorite American including actors ❤❤

[@lnemeth4334]

1:32: 1st of May is the international labor day, which is state holiday in most of the countries. (except US)

[@Micha-qv5uf]

This was probably the best episode so far xD

[@j.d.l._666]

11:46 it's to make eating vegetables or other foods, that kids initially would not eat easier and more fun! Like, the parents would make plane engine sounds and say: "heeeeere comes the plane!" and the baby / kid would find it funny and eat the green veggys they otherwise would not eat. The tower is plane dark humor! 😏
