To explain Segeberg and SE-XY: In Germany, license plates start with letters indicating your place of living. Hansestadt Rostock has HRO, Leipzig has L and Westerstede has WST, for example. Many Germans either choose their initials and date of birth to follow or include their local letters to make up fun words. I saw a lot of L-OL license plates in Leipzig, for example. Segeberg has SE as a local indicator, so lots of people apparently choose their license plate to read SE-XY.

Oh great. You can also translate "Ente" to "canard", what is French for "duck" and that is why we use "Ente" that way, but it also means Fakenews or something similar. Maybe it is the best to read the English definition of "canard". And yes it is also the bird and we often use animal names as insults.

[@darthplagueis13]

German grading is done with numbers instead of letters. The lower the number, the better. A 1.0 is the best grade and a 6.0 is the worst grade (which you can basically only get if you get literally everything wrong or don't even hand in your assignment). Generally speaking, a 4.0 or lower is considered a passing grade, so that's the equivalent of a C- or a D. So the guy in the meme is basically not celebrating that hr got a good or a passing grade, but that his failing grade wasn't as bad as it could have been.

@@andy1977 I agree. My preference would be an AC that can both cool and heat. But I live for rent and there's no chance to get an AC here.

[@astarionmochidragon4729]

​@@andy1977 Energy prices are quite high here in Germany and not everyone can afford to have an AC running for most of the time. So the answer to that would be "Die Stromkosten will ich aber nicht bezahlen" when we see people using them. Furthermore, not everyone has access to solar power. Yes, we have partly solar power in our energy system, but it's not that much. And for example in cities where AC would make the most sense because of the heating effects of cities, there is not much space to have your own solar voltaic system. In the countryside it's easier when you have your own house and garden, but in the cities most people only rent a flat, so they don't own the place. And in the countryside it's most often cooler so you don't need an AC as much as in the city. There is also the habituation effect, so if you would buy an AC you will have problems in the future living without one because of the effect. So probably most of us are better off without an AC. And also, we Germans love to complain a lot about the smaller things in life☺️

13:40 Abischerz or Abschlusstreich is a prank that the graduation class plays to their school staff somewhere around the final exams. In my graduation year we asked the janitor for the keys to the main entrance and then hid it in one of 200 something plastic cups filled with diluted acrylic coulours. We then had our teachers answer a pop culture quiz and for every correct answer we took away some of the cups. They then had to look for the key in the remaining cups getting their fingers all dirty. Of course all the students of the lower grades also watched them crawling on the floor getting messy because classes couldn't start until they opened the front door. The year before built a laser labyrinth using red wool threads with bells attached between the teacher break room and the main entrance and had the teachers get to their morning coffee Mission Impossible style. 😅

[@olgahein4384]

At my school Abistreich meant no classes. The Abi class would meet every year at night before it, build a huge cage under one part of the school building (there was a newer building part that had no ground floor but a first floor, so they built it underneath). Then they would build the rest of the things for their program (like a stage, a climbing area, etc, that would vary every year, only the cage was a constant). Starting from around 5am the abi students would start to patrol the area around the school to catch as many teachers as possible, put handcuffs on them and lead them into the cage where they had to sit till the Abistreich was over, which would last till at least 1pm. If the teachers needed to use the bathroom, they had to ask one of the students guarding them and ask for permission into the microphone, so everybody on the school ground and 500m beyond would hear it. But at pretty much every entertainment program they would pull out at least one teacher who had to participate in whatever they would come up with. The younger students were actually free to join the Abistreich activities or go home. Most kids would at least stay till the traditional school papers burning at noon.

[@TheMrMaxx]

My Abischerz did not take place because of the year before…

[@veladarney]

For our Abistreich, we had a TON of sand (probably literally ...) carted to our school that we used to transform the school yard into a "beach" and played "Baywatch". I still see us standing there after, shoveling the sand back onto the truck ... *lol* Worth it. Everyone LOVED Abistreich because, most of the time, there were no classes all morning, and the principal more often than not would cancel afternoon classes, too, so basically everyone got a day off school to party with the Abiturienten instead.

He told me he did a similar thing on a friend's wedding some years before when he reversed his dump truck to the spot where they smashed the ceramics on Polterabend.

Altitude alone would make you think it's cooler here, but non Europeans tend to forget the power of the Gulf Stream, plus geothermal heat. I live in Freiburg im Breisgau, french border to the west, Black Forest mountain range to the east and Alps to the south. We are on a geothermal hotspot and in July you can literally see the air flicker from heat coming from the ground. At 30°C it already gets harder to breath, as the air is not only extremely humid but also thick. Not to mention, temperatures rarely drop below 20°C at night in summer. And yeah, air con (or lack of it) is becoming a real problem here. Honestly, I don't even remember the last time i saw snow here.

The weird wooden construct around the woman is a "Gehzeug", the closest translation would approximately be "walkhicle".

In higher education the grade is shown in a different number system ranging from 15,14,13 points for a 1+, 1, 1- all the way to 0 which is a grade 6, but its the same grade just in a different format. 5 points (grade 4) is the minimum required to pass a class. Hence, the 2nd place in the picture barely passed at all, while the 3rd place definitely failed, since 4.7 is too low of a grade. german grades 1-6 have their own names too: 1 = "sehr gut" / "very good", 2 = "gut" / "good", 3 = "befriedigend" / "satisfactory", 4 = "ausreichend" / "sufficient", 5 = "mangelhaft" / "lacking", 6 = "ungenügend" / "insufficient" side note: technically it is possible to graduate with an average of 0.7, if you get 1+ or A+ in every class.

Which in the eyes of someone in desperate need of a pee rummaging in their wallet for a 1 Euro coin to unlock the turnstile may look like utopia.

In Germany, 30°C often come with a lot of humidity like yesterday. Here in southern Germany it was 33°C at the afternoon with a relativ humidity of about 85% which make it more or less comapreable to e.g. Miami. It wasn't fun at all. This is what it makes it annoying, not the 30-33°C itself. And ofc due to the lack of AC I had 30°C in my living room still at 11 p.m (living under the roof). The thing is, I would like to install an AC I even ask the landlord but while renting the apartment he did not allow it to me even thou I would pay it myself

Hol dir eine mobile Klimaanlage, aber eine mit 2 Schläuchen. Und dazu ein Kit um die Schläuche beim Fenster raus zu hängen und die Lücke abzudichten. Gibt's zb beim Pearl Versand. Der Channel Technology Connections hat dazu mal ein Video gemacht (vor paar Jahren), wo er erklärt warum das System mit den 2 Schläuchen so viel besser ist. Hab mir darum genau so eine gekauft. Die Schläuche dann noch isolieren und dann ist fein und du musst den Vermieter nicht fragen und kannst sie in die nächste Wohnung mitnehmen. Hab rund 600 für meine gezahlt. Ist nicht ganz so gut wie eine Splitanlage, aber DEUTLICH besser als die Anlagen mit nur 1 Schlauch.

Many buildings we live in are historical and there is no way we will get a permit to install an AC 💁🏼‍♀️

[@Zirror]

This always seemed so, so strange to me. I didn'T look to much into this (i.e. the justification) but why some random house in some random villiage in rural saxony or something is "historical" and needs to be perseved is beyond me. Don'T get me wrong, I get a couple of them, I get why we keep castles and churches and maybe, sometimes, a Fachwerkhaus. But just some random house? Really strange to me.

30 degrees in Spain is, as far as I have heard, something completely different than 30 degrees in Germany, so I would be interested to know how 30 degrees in Indiana compares to 30 degrees in Germany. Has something to do with humidity, among other things

[@koaschten]

4:00 AC is the exception in residential homes in germany. anything above mid-20°C is unbearable, because of the fact the most buildings are build with bricks over here and store heat quite long. It's nothing special to have days after days of 25°C indoors. And if it rains.. you just add humidity to the already miserable situation.

3:41 Fun fact: what actually helps is drinking warm salvia tea. Sounds weird, but your body is getting warmer by eating ice cream, similar goes for cold showering. Your body temperature should be way above 30°C and cooling it down from the inside just makes your body work harder to compensate for that. Drinking something warm on the other hand lowers the heat production of your body so it has to get rid of less heat and you feel colder. Salvia also helps by reducing the amount you sweat, by tightening the sweat glands.

[@ownageDan]

agree on the warm drink, but sweating is how the body regulates temperature, so shutting that off will make heat worse, no?

[@delqyrus2619]

@@ownageDan First of all: I am not a doctor, i might be wrong. But second: I never had issues with heat with such a treatment. *As far as i know*, heat is mostly "felt" not necessary needed to cool down. Especially at 30°C. It is still way cooler than the normal body temperature. So why would you need to cool it down? Or asked the other way around: How many people do you think died on using deodorant(correctly)? Because it does basically the same. So back to the 30°C - this is not a deadly temperature. In the opposite, this is basically the temperature we are meant to live in. Of course we don't feel that comfortable anymore if we grew up in northern hemispheres like europe or northern america or something like that, but always thing of it that way: There are people that don't die and live in deserts at 50°C. On the other hand there are people dying on heat stroke. But even they don't die because it is 30°C, they die because their body temperature overcame 40°C. But 30°C outside cannot be responsible for 40°C inside.(It can, but it is pretty uncommon - like one in a centillion, thermodynamics is more statistical than most of the people think...) So they usually die because they do hard work while it is hot outside or they are unable to transfer heat from the inside.Or there are other effects that accumulate the heat. But physically there is no way known to me to die because of a 30°C temperature outside, without other stuff complicating it. If you know some - let me know. 🙂 So you are right: Turning it off would be very, very bad. But Salvia doesn't turn it off. It just tightens the channels, it tells the body to spare stuff. I don't know or understand the full process, but it doesn't sound like you cannot adopt to it, if it is really, really necessary.

[@dryder7078]

sth to consider about the complains about temperature: how hot it feels to you does not only depend on how hot it is but also on how humid it is. Germany tipically is very humid and 30°+ temperatures feel way hotter in germany compared to other countries. A friend of mine was in egypt for example (very dry air) and told me that 45°-50°C in egypt felt like 35°C in germany

7:10 - No. That was the last group match at the EURO and the referee gave 18 yellow and 2 red cards.The winner was in next round, the loser was out of Euro. Every card referee gave was correct, but he didnt show enough. 8:50 - KUH-1 ; Kuh is german for cow. 13:30 - Abischerz: Pupil passed the last class of highschool get their "Abitur" short: Abi. And than they do party and some jokes called "Abistreich" or "Abischerz" (Abi-jokes). If I remember correctly we placed bale of hay in front of every door. On the photo it obvis went wrong.

[@TheExplodingCore]

4:05 and to make it worse the way your typical German house is build the thick walls heat up after a couple of days and radiate off the heat even when it's colder outside leading to a 'fun game' of trying to keep the heat outside as long as possible. Depending on how you live of course. Ground floor with a couple of stories above you it's fine but any person who ever lived in an attic apartment (worst case, dark non-reflective tiles on the roof and old or no isolation) will understand the agony.

depends on 30° dry heat or 30° "trying to breathe through a wet towel"-heat ;) :D Love your reactions! :D

[@SakuraKuromi]

Right now it'S 30° where I life with a humidity of 68%. The humiditi will go up to 90% in the night. It's not nice when everything you touch feels damp, your cloths don't dry and breathing is hard. I can't tolerate heat at all. I'm happy with 18-20°C Maybe 22° if it's a rainy/cloudy day. When it's hot, I always get migranes, have trouble breathing (Asthma) and feel ill altogether. Like being nauseous or dizzy. And yes. I stay in the shade (as sun for long periods on my skins feels like a burn - without having a sunburn. Just the feeling of a really hot coffee cup against your skin. Burning and unpleasent), I always carry water with me and drink lots. Doesn't help ^^° Summer is my least favourite season due to the heat. I love winter, as it's not hot then (and there are less spiders XD), even though my joints hurt a lot when they get to cold xD

When it's 30° outside In a house made of stone it's easily just 20° without any ac. Just keep the windows closed over the day and open them when the air outside is cooling down. No energy, perfect temperature.

Wenn es dich sehr mitnimmt und du keine Split-Klimaanlage installieren darfst, dann sieh dir mal mobile Klimaanlagen mit 2(!) Schläuchen an. Technology Connections hat dazu mal vor ein paar Jahren ein Video gemacht, daraufhin habe ich mir so eine gekauft. Dazu noch ein Kit um die Schläuche aus dem Fenster zu hängen und die Öffnung abzudichten. Die Schläuche selber umwickle ich dann auch noch mit Fleece-Decken zur Isolation. Ist zwar nicht ganz so gut wie eine richtige Split-Anlage, aber deutlich besser als die mobilen Anlagen mit nur 1 Schlauch. Und ich könnte sie in die nächste Wohnung mitnehmen. Ich habe rund 600 gezahlt. Modelle mit 2 Schläuchen sind selten zu kriegen, ich hab meine vom Pearl Versand.
