If you drive by a speed limit camera in Germany an if you are too fast, the camera will take a photo of you automatically and you get a letter with a fee later. This photo is taken with a red flash, so you realize you are "flashed" immediately. Therefore the germans use the term "ich wurde geblitzt" (i've been flashed")

[@sakkikoyumikishi]

... which, tbf, is exactly what American "moderate" conservatives are by global standards, so... 🤷🏻

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yeah, the joke of "nach dem rechten schauen" could mean checking if is everything all right, or checking the right (winged person) And the AfD was quite successful in the last election in Saxony. Obviously not everyone voted for them. They might've won many of the direct seats and are now the second strongest faction, but they got only about 30% in proportional votes. So more than two of three Saxons didn't vote for them. And it's mostly the rural areas that voted for them while the big cities voted mostly towards the left.

Thuringia is a pretty beautiful state, landscape, culture, history, in my opinion, important in these regards even, and, normally, people are really nice. The problematic Germans live anywhere in Germany (as can be seen, e.g. in Hesse) and, I suppose, that's where you're pointing to. They need to leave, from my POV, not put through the door with the welcoming folk. For some of the blue voters a little education might suffice and (maybe) they can stay. Obviously, this is fantasy and extremely simplified, but would it only be as easy as putting people in categories based on stereotypic features.

[@RinxPlatin666]

Alter Verwalter lmao hab ich no nie so gesehen aber stimmt lol

While it is a pun about Thüringen und Tür-Ringen (Bundesland and Door Wrestling) you see a blue and a red door. And even so the colors are inverted in Germany and the USA (Democrats and Conservatives, that is Left-Winged and Right-Winged), our political debates can also get VERY ugly. And in Thüringen (and Sachsen) the gap between far Left and far Right is quite deep. So there is quite some mud-slinging going on.

1:00 31.10. = 31th of October. 01.11. = first of November. In most states with predominantly Protestant tradition (not religion) the Reformation Day at October 31 is a public holiday, while in the states with predominantly Catholic tradition plus Baden-Württemberg the All Saints Day is a public holiday. 5:00 The official name of Switzerland is "Confoederatio Helvetica", therefore CH. 10:54 A play with words, in this case the state of Thuringia = Thüringen in German, which if spelled wrong becomes Tür-ringen = door wrestling. Hesse likes to forget that it was once only a province of Thuringia before it was split between Sophie Duchess of Brabant, daughter of Elisabeth the Saint of Thuringia (born as Elisabeth of Hungary), and her uncle Heinrich Raspe IV (1246/47 Anti-King of Germany).

14:00 Woulda thought the concept of master theses was a thing in the US but in case it's not: A bachelor thesis is the last thing you'll do before getting your bachelor's degree for most uni programmes. Details vary but they're usually supposed to be done in 2 months. Usually. Mine took over a year because of lack of support and lack of pressure. This concept is foreign in some other European countries as well (my 2nd/external supervisor was from Belgium and had never heard of it before). Mine was worth 10 credits, which is basically a third of a semester. A master thesis is supposed to be 6-8 months and otherwise works about the same way. These are supposed to be more serious research and not just basic. Worth 30 credits in my case, so a full semester and I had supporting modules (like presentations on it and some such), which meant it was more like a third of my final grade. Mine took 10-11 months though because it was *that year* and the CT (which I had to use to even get started) was broken for 5-6 months (they said they had trouble getting a repair guy in bc of C). I would have assumed these to be a thing anywhere. And yeah, a dissertation you know but just for comparison, those take 3 years ideally but I have never seen anyone finish theirs in 3 years. This is also more of an actual job, at least in the cases that I know. Often criminally (I mean literally) underpaid. You might get half a position or even a quarter of one officially but still only for a certain amount of years, so you either work full time for free or you don't get your PhD. So you get paid below minimum wage. As someone with a graduate degree. I know some lucky exceptions but they are exactly that. Especially in the sciences. The two people I know who got great pay are actually an economist and someone in social studies, oddly enough.

The states marked red are traditionally, by mayority, protestant christian states who celebrate the reformation of Martin Luther (publishing his 95 claims on october 31th 1517) while the "blue" states are catholic christian by majority who celebrate All Saints on on november 1st.

a Bachelor’s Thesis is the the thesis you hand in after three years of studying (usually around 30 pages long).

To become a professor, you would then have to go into teaching, do further research and write a habilitation - another major book on a research subject… All of these will be defended orally in front of a professor or - at the higher level - a group of professors…

Communism isnt the solution ... but invading Luxembourg / making LUXEMBOURG pay for the EU for a change is. Apple, Google, Starbucks, ... ... ... all have loopholes and thus their owners get stinking rich. Amazon needs to have a special tax levied on it anyways ... for the abomination called "Rings of Power".

Funfact about Oct 31st... Before the christianisation of Europe it was the Samhain fest, which was celebrated as the day/ night when connections between our world and the otherworld were very thin and all kinds of spirits, good and evil, came wandering through our world. The Church later put Allerheiligen/ All hollows eve around that date (not the "Halloween night" but the day after) but the Samhain traditions survived in former celtic cultures like Ireland and thus became Halloween later in the US. Basically Europe is now reimporting the commercialized american version of a former pagan tradition from almost 2 millenia ago :) oh yeah, and Oct. 31st became Reformation Day after all the Martin Luther protestant church thing happened and is still an official holiday in some mostly protestantic regions.

[@clauslangenbroek9897]

Right, but one small correction: All hallows eve means Allerheiligen-Abend, where "Abend" denotes the evening/day before the holiday named Allerheiligen. Same concept as in Neujahrsabend (New Year's Eve, which we call Silvester)/Neujahr (New Year,) or even "Sonnabend/Sonntag."

[@RSProduxx]

@@clauslangenbroek9897 ah okay, only had the connection between All hollows eve and Allerheiligen, thanks for the input :)

1:22 unfortunately you have to work on both days when you are working in Frankfurt for an international company.

[@eastfrisian_88]

I didn't pay attention when planning my vacation, in my state it is a holiday on October 31st (this year a Thursday) and I had to work on Friday, that would have been a typical bridge day where you could have had a long weekend with a one-day vacation (Friday) planned. Unfortunately, I "only" have 28 vacation days a whole year, haha. But hey, I had three weeks in September. German luxury problem, I know. The company's head office is in Hesse, they had to work both days and take over our work on the 31st. What a pity, I almost felt sorry for them. 💁

[@NeominAriande]

Yes, they are dates. In Germany we say the day first and then the month and year.

AI nailed the meme :D Imo you could use GPT more often if you dont understand a joke :D

[@Techmagus76]

Job well done, the combination of AI and human instinct, experience and intellect showed and impressive progress in understanding german memes. Seems cats and memes are the first things AI will master on the internet.

[@SimonE-BW]

5:54 It‘s a meme from Diesel Dieter.

you could literally watch Ryan's brain smoke for a few of these. AI was definitely needed and you have our authorisation to use it whenever you don't get a meme :P

3:22 It's funny that Ryan is slowly realizing that the memes are often political in nature and that Chat GPT understands that better than he does. Admittedly, many memes require German insider knowledge, which Ryan can hardly have. Often enough, I don't even understand these memes, even though I'm German.

You should look up the different German state holidays

[@NeverMind439]

10:57 "Türringen" is a word, purposely written like that to make that Joke. Thüringen (Thuringia) is the Equivalent State in Germany, while it also Sounds like "Tür Ringen" which translates to "door Wrestling". In This Case, the Joke is about two doors that Wrestle, which is called "Ringen" (While that word has a few meanings, that is one of them. The meaning is easily known within the context if you can speak german 😀), Therefore Tür(door)ringen(Wrestling). The Sentence below, which says "Keine Ahnung, bin aus Hessen", translates to "No idea, i am from Hessen", like you stated and is a directly neighbouring state of Thriniga, hence the "No idea, i am from Hessen". 😀 Clever Wordplay in therms of "hearing" instead of "writing" or "seeing" it 😀 At least that is my take from it. Can be wrong about that, too. But for me, it looks like that. 11:40 NO WAY... he UNDERSTOOD IT AGAIN... Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern 😂 Keep going like that and the we germans will acknowledge you as a Honorary German. 🤣 11:55 Just to correct you: That is one part of Voldemords crippled Soul? i think was. As Harry was a Baby, after he killed Harrys father with a avada kedavra? Spell i think it was and shortly before doing the same to his mother, he tried to do the same to Harry, but the "motherly love" saved him/protected him, made him a horcrux in the process. The Horcrux Voldemord never wanted to make. As long as the Horcrux existed, he was immortal. And i think this part was after Voldemord finally put him into the Death Curse Avada Kedavra, without knowing that he didn't kill Harry but destroyed his own Horcrux. That "Phetus" you called is the dying and shivering part of Voldemord 😀 At every Hardcore Potterhead out there: Have Mercy on me. I need to rewatch the Series at least 3-4x before i am able to perfectly and in every Detail, describe everything 🤣

[@elmosputterspark9939]

12:40 Exactly. In German I would say: Bekommen nicht verdienen.

[@VendonJura]

German date is calculated days, weeks, years which makes the most sense. You start from the smallest to the biggest. not from middle to small to big which is just weird and confusing. PS: I am german and don't understand most of these memes xD

[@starstencahl8985]

12:23 I’m not usually left wing or something like that, but it’s just depressing to me instead of funny if even fascinating. The total capital is limited and when people say “no one needs to have this much money” I completely agree for this unworldly amount. This just blocks off mountains of money for the regular people to get wealthy

The trick of getting rich is to not try doing it by earning money, but by creating something people value. Like companies. But even then, most of your worth is imaginary. People may buy and sell tiny pieces of your company for a certain price, but there aren't enough people with actual cash to buy all of it at once.
