I also think that this refers to the current discussion that facial recognition software should now be increasingly used, as it led to the identification of the now retired RAF terrorist Daniela Klette. So on the one hand, today's senior citizens who were RAF terrorists can no longer be sure. On the other hand, it is known that many innocent people are and have been suspected as a result of the AI application

That attack has a 55% hit chance and results in the opponent becoming confused (as a status effect).

The thing with the GSG9 and the pensioners is up to the RAF. A little context: The GSG9 is the anti-terror unit of the Federal Police and was founded after the hostage situation and the disastrous rescue attempts at the Munich Olympic Games. The 1970s were a decade of terror in Germany by the Red Army Faction RAF, a left-wing terrorist group. The first mission in which the GSG9 became known was the hijacking of the Lufthansa aircraft "Landshut", which had the aim of getting RAF terrorists out of prison. The GSG9 tracked the plane to Mogadishu in Somalia and stormed the plane there. The hostage takers were either killed or captured while all the hostages survived. The RAF is divided into several "generations" and the third generation was active from the 1970s to the 1990s and repeatedly carried out terrorist attacks. Of course, you can't just go on living as a terrorist unmolested and so many went underground, got other identities and some also lived in the GDR and were then arrested after reunification. But some, even if they have not carried out any terrorist attacks for several decades, are still undetected today. Now they're older, but at the same time they can't do a normal job (because they're wanted terrorists). They have to live on something somehow. That's why some of them robbed banks and showed the investigating authorities that they were still there. They are now of retirement age but are still wanted criminals. A few weeks ago the police were able to arrest “Daniela Klette”. And a lot of traces were found in her apartment that point to the other wanted terrorists. The police are now working on this little by little and the police are continually targeting pensioners who look similar to the terrorists they are looking for. Because the terrorists today are also old people who would also be pensioners if they had decided on a normal life.

[@spaceflightfox8494]

The joke of this subreddit is to not use any English (or Anglo-Saxon as it’s customarily called) words whatsoever and to translate everything as literally and brain dead as possible.

Same with “hit me baby one more time”, translated literally becomes “beat me, suckling” etc. and also why DuRöhre

2:52 A parcel station is a postal station where parcels are temporarily stored before being delivered to your home. If you are not at home, the letter carrier takes the parcel back and you get a note in your letterbox telling you that you can collect the parcel from the nearest post office. However, this is not done for every parcel, it depends on the value of the parcel and the deliverer. Amazon parcels, for example, are often simply dropped in the carport without the doorbell even being rung. In the meme, the poster complains that the letter carrier never rang his doorbell and that he only received a letter in his mailbox telling him to pick up the parcel at the post office.

[@MrHerrS]

Where I do live, a Packstation is a place with many storage boxes for packages. You have to use a password and you ID to unlock one of the boxes to find your package. Usually used in bigger cities. I actually quite like it. Also worth mentioning a Packetshop is a small grocery store or Kiosk, that accepts packages from various packet delivery services and you usually can find your package there if you weren‘t home when the mail man ringed the bell … or simply was to lazy, because you live at the 5th floor. I never had to get my package from their distribution center.

The DHL Package Station or Parcel Station is a pick-up station for parcels and packages with self-service lockers. You get a bar code either on a postcard in your mailbox or in the DHL app when you are a registered user. So your packages are locked away securely and do not lay in front of your house and you can get them whenever you want, 24/7. In every neighborhood there is one or even more. Typically the next station is less than a 5 minute drive away.

"Kippen" plural, is a slang word for Cigarettes, i think the word "Kippen" alone means "tilt" or "topple" something. We call the toilet seat, "Klobrille" , which basically means Toilet Glasses. Yes, French People like our Pastries so much and i cant blame them, they even have a Name for things like this: "Viennoiserie" which means something like "things in the style of Vienna". "Duschen-Württemberg" because the Name of the German State is "Baden-Württemberg" which means "Bathing-Württemberg" so they changed it to "Duschen" which means "Showering". Silly Joke.

[@baumstamp5989]

the full translation for "toilet seat" is "klobrille", it is just slang-like to leave "klo" out but creates confusion for the non-native speaker. and the joke is that instead of people who pee while standing using the urinals, they rather use the normal toilet - while standing!!! - and lift the toilet seat up. which is funny because they could just pee into the urinal without needing to get "their hands dirty" or do extra effort. while at the same time they may spray around the toilet area where other people would like to sit comfortably.

The Showers-Württemberg joke explained: Baden-Württemberg is one of the 16 federal states of Germany. Württemberg is one part of the state, Baden is another part. “Baden” means “bathing”. The reason for this is that there is a famous spa town called “Baden-Baden”. So the joke is that the federal state is renamed “Duschen-Württemberg“ because they discovered showers.

[@rhysodunloe2463]

10:42 This refers to the federal state BADEN-Württemberg. Baden can be translated as bathing. The next breakthrough after Duschen-Württemberg would then be Waschen-Württemberg. I hope they don't go to far and end up with Stinken-Württemberg. At least for the town Baden-Baden the translation "Bathing-Bathing" is correct because its old Latin name Aquae refered to the local hot springs and the many bath houses which made use of them. How the rest of the region got it's name? ... Well, for a long time they were a duchy ruled by the Baden family which had their residence at castle Hohenbaden near the town of Baden-Baden - which then was only named Baden, the second Baden was added so it's clear that you mean the town "Baden in the Baden region" and not another town named Baden somewhere else, like in Switzerland. Also Baden-Baden is a Kurort (spa or health resort) and many of those towns have a "Bad" in front of the name. So it could be 'Bad Baden-Baden'. 😅 Long nonsense short: As far as I understand it the federal state got it's name from a former kingdom - Württemberg - and a duchy - Baden - which got it's name from the duke whose family got it from the fact they come from a town with many bath houses.

11:10 Baden-Württemberg is the reference. Baden meaning to bathe if outside of a city name context. 12:25 the translation is so off, because "Die Brille" is literally glasses. In germany, you call the toilet seat a "Klobrille" toilet glasses. So you need context to know that "Brille" here referes to the one on the toilet. A normal translator does not use context but simply takes the words and translates them, AI does use context and thus has the better translation.

Thank you Ryan, it always feels as if I'm sitting there with you. And I'd have to use AI for some of these too. And I'm german. So, it's all good!

The Württemberg thing is fairly simple: The region Württemberg is part of the Bundesland (federal state) Baden-Württemberg. Baden is the name of a region next to Württemberg, but the word also means "to bathe". So then the joke is replacing bathing with showering.

Hey Ryan! I was just wondering if you have ever reacted to "Klaus Kinski" there are some german videos with english subtitles on KZbin (e.g. Fitzcarraldo fight). 😂 I think we all would enjoy your reaction.❤

No, we call it KZbin in German, but there is a certain group of German redditers who don't like to hear English in the German reddit area
