in the first meme the sheet shows a game of "Stadt Land Fluss" (lit. City - Country - River) which is a popular game students play when they have nothing else to do xD first someone goes silently though the alphabet, another person says "stop". The letter the person was last at, is the letter of the round. now you have to fill in all the categories on the sheet with words starting with that letter. When the first person is finished, everyone has to stop writing. you get zero points for wrong entries and no entries, 5 points if you have the same answer as someone else and 10 points if you have a unique answer. This repeats for all rounds. It's a fun game to also test your knowledge of geography. Sometimes people go do grey area/ borderlining answers, where everyone else is debating if that can count or not. A widely known version of such a grey area term in the game is the "Züchter" (or breeder) for the vocational bracket because you can put any animal name in front and have to use less brain power because it's basically a recycling of the animal category. But if that is done repeatitly, you could also just cross out the vocational bracket entirely because it doesn't bring anything to the table while playing this way. In the meme at "River" the person wrote "KarlLauterbach" which is germanys health minister but his last name translates to "loud creek". This obviously doesn't count, which is also why the annoyed look of the other person fits that well xD

The thing with "cleaning after showering" is to prevent limescale while the shower is still wet. It's not actual cleaning, just removing the water right after showering.

[@Hey.Joe.]

Exactly. That's why I have easy-care shower-curtains instead of glass doors. But the mounting and tiling can get chalk aka calcium carbonate too, so wiping the drops down shortly after showering is better then to have to descale them at the end.

Interesting historical facts In the Middle Ages in Flanders Ghent (now Belgium) there was a profession of collecting urine. The urine was then used to extract ammonia, which was used to make saltpeter for gunpowder. In the mornings, the collectors drove around town with a barrel and paid money for the urine. Of course, there were cunning townspeople who began to dilute the product. Then a new profession appeared - the urine taster, who organoleptically determined the quality and concentration of precious ammonia. But the New Age came, people learned to synthesize ammonia or extract it by other means, and the profession of urine taster became unnecessary. And so all these urine experts left Flanders, moved to Amsterdam and founded the Heineken brewery.

"Stadt - Land - Fluss" is a game where you have to fill words starting with a given letter in different categories in a given time frame. I think in English it is known as "Categories". Karstadt however is no city (Stadt), but a an older department store brand. Kaufland is another department store (by the same owner as Lidl). And Karl Lauterbach is the name of the current minister of health, not a river (Bach however means rivulet or creek). So those would get no points at all. Zuffenhausen is the home of Porsche. And a "Kombi" is called a station wagon in the US afaik. 14:44 ChatGPT was a little bit wrong here (as mostly). The note is called "fis" and combined with "che" it gives "fische" = fishes. 15:15 Heineken (a Dutch brand owned by AnheuserBusch in Belgium, also owning the US Budweiser brand) is not very popular in Germany, because it is mass produced and tastes like it.

[@justarandomgothamite5466]

Regarding the shower cleaning: We don't fully clean it, we just wipe down the water droplets and condensation. Doing so helps prevent limescale and also helps dry the shower more quickly, reducing the risk of mold.

The piece of paper at the beginning is a game called "Stadt,Land,Fluss / City, Country, River"; different categories are named and then a letter is chosen; then all players have to answer the categories. When a player has filled in all the fields, the answers are compared. For each answer that is given more than once, you get 5 points and if someone has answered something on their own, they get 10 points. Example: If 4 players answer the letter K with Kansas City, everyone gets 5 points for this answer, the 5th player answers with Key West and gets 10 points. Stadt/ City: Karstadt is a department store chain, as is Kaufland. Fluss/River: KarlLauterbach (Bach mean in english creek) is the Federal Minister of Health.

The first one is about a game where you have to name a city, a country, a river and a few other categories based on the first letter ("K" in this case) The joke here is that - "Karstadt", despite having the german word for "city" ("Stadt") in it, is not a city, but a store chain - "Kaufland", despite having the german word for "country" ("Land") in it, is also a store chain - "Karllauterbach", despite haveing the german word for "creek" ("Bach") in it, is actually the name of our health minister (Karl Lauterbach) - the last two categories are animal and profession, and for animal they chose cat and for profession they chose cat breeder, which one could argue doesn't really count.

Looking at the special paint at Gelsenkirchen, that reminds me of the old Guildhouse in my home town of Bremen. It's an old building from the 17th century that once happened to be the place where the business owners and craftsmen would come together and often celebrate large parties. Because many of them would get drunk and urinate against the columns next to the main entrance after leaving, they finally installed so-called "Pinkelpilze" (pee mushrooms) which are cone-shaped plates attached to the columns at knee-level that would cause your urine to flow back onto your pants and shoes which proved to be pretty effective.

[@BR618]

about the Heineken thing: The top 10 most consumed beer brands in Germany are German brands; with a ~10% market share for the #1 sold brand. Also Heineken in their show-production in Amsterdam relatively proudly proclaims that they use a yeast based on Louis Pasteur theories (whom as a French in the 19th century hated "the Germans") and Feltman's experience of some brewing congresses in Munich (among others) to develop the Heineken A-yeast and the Heineken D-yeast ... basically Heineken is a Dutch beer made from French, English and German know-how, in my opinion that's why it taste so watered down; no real hops or grain notes ... an industry product with no soul or roots ^^

Welcome to another episode of Memes you only get, when you are German. The first meme is from the popular game 'city, country, river', where you have to name words that start with a given letter to given categories, like river, city, job, famous person or whatever you set in the rules beforehand. There is a time limit and in the end you compare you words for points. For example the rules could be, that you get 0 points for no word, 10 for a word that also an other person has 30 for unique words and 50, if no other person has a word in that category. The joke here is that Karl Lauterbach is not a small river (Bach) but the name of the German health minister. Also it is despised to use similar words in different categories, like cat as animal and catbreeder as profession.

For country he chooses "Kaufland" (literally: buy land), which is a grocery store chain.

"Bach" is better translated to Creek, literally "Lauterbach" (there is a town with this name too) means noisy (splashy or wild) creek.

Since Deponia memes are the dominant force on Ich_iel at the moment, I think we germans have a right to demand that ryan starts a deponia lets play

05:21 Oh nice, Pettson (Pettersson, Festus) and Findus (Mercury)! Are those books well received in Germany?

[@fee6362]

The Maggot thing is from a German ( but there language options) game called Deponia ..4.. I think. Not sure which number. There all great and tell really well wirrte story. But yeah that maggot.. well let's say you serve someone a white sausages after that scene. The picture for the next meme comes from Deponia 1. It show the main characters ex girlfriend, and let's say you can see where she is coming from. But the writing is really great, it's all part of the charm. I's also deeper and more intelligente than the 2 meme make it seem. I high recommended this game.

2:33 Mood. A trans guy I know complimented me at a party two years ago now and it still is one of the compliments I think most about, and I had VERY few in between.

1:40 what Trump says makes somewhat sense. Deaths by cases indicate how effective the health system is in preventing death. Death by population can be misleading and skewed, because the amount of people who get infected in the first place could be abnormally high or low depending on many things. i.e. in a sparsely populated country, fewer people will infect each other.

America is last time I checked two Continental plates not one country

[@theithuriel8697]

Trump is so embarrassing. OK, some of our politicians are embarrassing as well. But this guy... By the way: I *never* say America for the US. I usually say "Vereinigten Staaten" ("United States") or "USA". America for me means the entire continent from Canada to Chile. To understand the train meme, one must know that there is a high-speed railway line (190 mph) between Frankfurt Airport and Cologne. It takes around 60 minutes. In case of emergency or ongoing construction works, the traditional line is way slower and it almost takes around 130 minutes for the same distance.
