American reacts to GERMAN MEMES ABOUT AMERICANS

[@kiyo4476]

Kika (Kinderkanal) is a German tv channel for kids. Kindheitshelden = childhood heroes. Santa with sand refers to the Sandmännchen, the toast refers to Bernd das Brot, the mouse to Sendung mit der Maus, and the dandelion to Löwenzahn (all shows that run/ran on Kika)

What you call a sliced loaf of bread doesn’t even qualify as bread in Germany and it only appears in form of a sandwich or a toast over here. No one actually eats it the way you would eat bread here.

It doesn't seem to register with him that the problem isn't the bread being sliced but the bread itself being cardboard :D

[@rutherford2580]

Thank you! It is about the bread not the slicing. In Germany we tend to eat bread made from less processed flour (closer to or exactly wholemeal flour) containing oilseeds, seeds, and whole grains. In conclusion german bread is much firmer, denser and stronger in flavour.

[@aRealAndHumanManThing]

​@oklaftrahlegne7298 this. Sadly, much of the bread you can get at a bakery isn't that buch better. For a big part of my childhood, we had a bakery with handmade bread nearby (with cheap prices). I can't stand that pale taste of much of the standard bread you can get, but don't have the money to buy it from other (very expensive) self baking bakerys

Actually, when you toast many of the breads in the states they have a very nice texture and flavor, but not all, for sure. I'm talking about ones that you can get from a bakery section of a store. Smith's in Nevada used to carry a rustic sun-dried tomato bread that was to die for. ...... Okay, maybe I should qualify that by saying that I haven't had bread in the states in at least 10 years.

This heavily depends when your house was built and how it was built. We don't have any drywall+OSB in our house. We know a couple that has the upper floor remodeled, after they got kids. They've built it themselves and used drywall and OSB but it's terrible for noise insulation, just like American houses.

@@BlueFlash215 depends how its done in older houses its difficult to get a good noise insulation because the most parts are already constructed and if you just place some walls the sound can still easily travel through the floor or other not noise insulated objects.

Hello, here to answer your questions/provide context 2:06 - You already said it, we have brick walls. Sometimes our inner walls which aren't statically relevant are made out of wood covered in plasterboard 2:56 - Those are oversimplified representations of TV shows we watched as children. The text above specifically mentions KIKA, which stands for "Kinderkanal", a TV station for kids. So there was: - one show about Santa and his talking sack experiencing the christmas time together - one show about a depressed loaf of bread called "Bernd" and his friends - one show called "Sendung mit der Maus" (show with the mouse) which was educational and explained things like "What does a carpenter do" or "How does a door lock work" etc. - and lastly a show called "Loewenzahn" (dandelion) which pictured the life of some dude named Peter Lustig who always happened to come across something interesting and, once again, educational. 4:38 - I'm not 100% sure on that one, maybe the title provides some context. But my best guess is that the translation of shower lamp would be "Duschlampe". Now that's a word we used to trick other kids back in elementary school, since "Du Schl*mpe" (the same word but with a space added) means "you wh*re" 6:40 - 1) It's called Hamburg, not Hamburg. (your second attempt was closer to being correct. You pronounce the a like you'd pronounce the u in "pun", but you pronounce the u like oo in "food") 2) If he was in Hamburg, he would've said "Ich bin ein Hamburger" - I am a Hamburger. You know? Like the food? 8:27 - the german subreddit ich_iel likes translating english memes word for word but in a literal way. Hard to explain. So "homies" gets translated to "Hausis" (home = haus). That's why your translation app wasn't able to understand. It basically says "Ich_iel homies be like: Aw shit, here we go again", referring to them knowing, that you'll giggle over their memes. 9:50 - the alcohol laws are a little more complex. So until you're 14 it's illegal to buy alcohol and to consume it in public. Once you're 14 you still can't buy alcohol, but you're allowed to consume it in public if your parents are with you and allow it. Once you're 16 you can buy "soft" alcohol like beer and wine and consume it on your own and once you're 18 you can buy and drink whatever, whenever and wherever you like 13:07 - well, germany loves it's bread. And what we call bread is far from toast. It's the darker, rounder, healthier kind of bread. So to differentiate, this is american sandwich bread, I guess. (Going full circle to the heart attacks meme) 14:30 - You're "infiltrating" the subreddit by reacting to the content. You're spying on them. Hope this helped. XOXO

[@Viel_Glueck]

I'd say 6:40 isn't the entire truth it's only 50%. The other thing is that in some parts of Germany a "Berliner" is the name of a food (I think it's doughnut in english) that has many different names depending on the region. in bavaria it's called "Krapfen", in Berlin it's called "Pfannkuchen", etc. Hamburg is a city in which the doughnut(?) is called Berliner so no matter whether he said ich bin ein Berliner or ich bin ein Hamburger, both would've been something to eat

[@CallMePerky]

Well, then the joke about it being a good thing that he wasn't in Hamburg doesn't make too much sense, does it?

But I think a little bit of sparkling vine (maybe a half glass) would be ok once, twice or three times a year with parents around, so they're able to help in case of an emergency.

The ich bin ein Berliner meme was funny cause a “Berliner” is a German Pastry similar to a doughnut. So it was pretty funny when John F. Kennedy said “All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of this city of West Berlin. Therefore, as a free man, I am proud to be able to say: Ich bin ein Berliner". Which also said I’m a doughnut. I wasn’t alive back then and my father wasn’t neither, he was on the wrong side anyway, but this speech is pretty famous. And the comment was funny cause if he held that speech in Hamburg (the second biggest city in Germany) he would have said “Ich bin ein Hamburger”. If I said something wrong feel free to correct me. I’m a 13 year old girl and still in school so I just explained why and how I know about this.🙂

[@pascalnitsche8746]

Fun fact: in Berlin itself that pastry is called an“Pfannkuchen“ (pancake) and in the south it’s also called „Krapfen“ - there are probably more names. From the context it is clear what he meant though and was totally correct German. There are some good videos explaining the misconception that he had said „I’m a jelly filled doughnut“ but that it was correctly understood to mean „I am a person of Berlin“

Well, the trouble is, over the years there has come up this myth that what Kennedy said was wrong. Or that people understood the wrong thing from it. Which is not true.

The pics in the "Kika"-meme all stand for various iconic kids' programmes in Germany. Santa on the beach is supposed to be a reference to "Sandmännchen" (little Sandman). It's an old kids' programme right before young kids' bedtime and the Sandman comes and delivers a short bedtime story. The bread, I think, is a reference to "Bernd, das Brot" (a show with a very sarcastic loaf of bread ... don't ask 😀).The orange mouse is a reference to "Sendung mit der Maus" (The Show with the Mouse) which has little cartoons of said mouse and a tiny blue elefant and in between short films that usually explain how things are made or what people on certain jobs do and such. The dandelions (in German "Löwenzahn") refer to a show with that title where a guy who lives in a blue construction trailer is confronted with all sorts of problems and goes to find out about things, so the programme always has a topic that runs through the whole episode (like "drinking water" and how it finds its way into your house or "books" and how they are made etc). So when confronted with a problem, this guy goes for a deep dive on the topic and explains stuff in a way that kids can understand. Very educational. 🙂

[@skayofox]

„Hausis“ is a bad translation of the English word „homies“ So the meme says „The Ich_IEL homies be like… here we go again“

[@dietrichtrepnau7920]

The mouse is "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (The show with the mouse) which is a show for kids. And the Dandelion is "Löwenzahn" (Dandelion, literally: Lion's tooth), another show for kids with a lot of educational value. Regarding the "Ich bin ein Berliner meme": If he were in hamburg he would have said "I am a hamburger". The joke should be self-explaining in this case. For the ich_iel meme: There is a well known subreddit called "me_irl" (me_in_real_life) which can be literally translated to "ich_im_echten_leben". Abbreviated this becomes "ich_iel". That's why a lot of the memes of ich_iel use literal translations of english (which often sounds stupid, but funny in german). So the translation of "ICH_IEL HAUSIES SEIN WIE - OH SCHEISSE HIER GEHEN WIR WIEDER" literally means "ME_IRL HOMIES ARE LIKE - OH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN"

little explanation for the sliced bread confusion. Not every sliced bread is labeled as American Sandwich, mostly there is Butter- or full grain toast written on the packaging. The 'amarican' style is just a bit bigger than the other ones, a bit softer and as I can tell a bit sweeter in taste. That's why it's straight up called 'amarican sandwich' 😅 But we would never call it 'bread' cause that's just toast 😂

If you bring something new to the market, you have to name it. Though we have squared, spongy wheat bread (we call it "toast", bc it's supposed to be toasted), the "American Sandwich" is bigger. "Bread" is an umbrella term for a big variety of baked goods. Bread comes in different shapes and, more important, made of different graines (wheat, rhy, spielt,....), even different methods (yeast or sour dough) are possible. So "American Sandwich" is a wheat bread in a certain shape and size.

[@Lotschi]

Once you have eaten a good bread made in Europe you will understand why we resist calling this bread. Every country in Europe has its bread techniques but it is simply good. This in comparison is some cheap industrialised mixture. In the US you do have other bread as well, as fas as I know so even you must recognise that it isn‘t as good as other bread.

When I am speaking English, I usually use the English names of the cities that have one.

In normal everyday conversation, most people will speak the "O"s in London the German way and actually speak the "S" in Paris. I think, there is a shift in using the original names of places, it is less common to call Aachen Aix-La-Chapelle at least in English and at least the English Wikipedia article of Lüneburg is called so nowadays. But I wouldn't say it is wrong to say Hamburg with the English pronounciation, as long as the conversation is English.

Maybe this needs to be explained: the reason why translating stuff from German subreddits, especially ich_irl doesn’t work so well is, that it has become a meme to eliminate all anglicisms in the German language they use, by radically replacing them with the direct translations of those words, even if the result is meaningless/doesn’t translate or grammatically wrong. So for example: in Germany we don’t have a direct translation for the word homies. It is a exclusively English slang term. Ich_irl will take the part of the word that is translatable m "home" and simply translate it into German "Haus" (wich isn’t even totally correct it should be "Zuhause" but it doesn’t really matter now. Then they will imitate the way the slang worked by adding "is" wich is a way of making a word sound cute like "ies". Is this dumb? Probably, but I can tell you from the get go that not doing it will only lead to your mother being insulted very frequently.

[@glowingeye]

The walls of our "one-family home" (so just a typical house) are made of solid reinforced concrete (so concrete with steel rods and grids inside them). In the basement, only the outer walls are made that way, all walls that make up the rooms are Ytong, which is basically concrete bricks with tiny air filled pores (it's a brand name). Now, only the inside of the roof uses actual dry wall, so we do use that here, too. I think both drywall and concrete are solid (lol) options. Concrete houses won't fly away in tornados, only the roofs will. You can hang stuff on the walls basically anywhere, granted not where conduits and pipes are (hard to check, need a device for that, since there are no studs you can feel), and those pictures or whatever will most likely never come loose ever again. And you cannot punch holes in the wall, that's also great. However, you'll have a really hard time retrofitting a house with any cables or pipes, it's a pain in the ass (you need a special router to create channels in the top layer of the wall). This is why I often wish we had dry walls... Which would be cheaper, too, I guess...

There had been a kitchen fire a few houses down and the kitchen in this apartment burnt out completely, even the balcony was fine, it's been blackened by the smoke but otherwise not damaged. 9:30 - in every soccer stadium you see this, the cups are used for every drink - even juice or lemonade. "Apfelschorle" - a mix of apple juice and carbonated water - looks exactly like beer just wthout the foam.

In Germany, not only the outer walls are made of briks, but also the inner walls. Drywall is rarely used to modify existing rooms.

[@TrafficDE]

It depends, most modern houses have outer walls made of concrete and inner walls made of drywall, only load bearing walls are made of concrete as well. Older houses buildt between around 1960 to 2000 are mostly made of brick, most of the rebuildt pre WW2 houses are even made of sandstone. The nicest buildings imo are the iconic half timbered houses from the 14th to 16th century which you can find in many german historic towns/districts.

You can buy toast in every supermarket in Germany. They most of the time also sell toast with bigger diameter slices under the name "American Sandwich". I guess thats because German toast generally has smaler slices and the American Sandwich is just toast like you would find in an American grocery store. Anyway i find it kinda cute that you call toast "sliced bread". As a German i can confirm that we dont recognize toast as bread.

"What are your walls made of?" As you said solid bricks. Also the walls inside the house are made of solid stone.

[@psychcake1108]

About the walls: Most "regular" houses in germany have brick walls and we don't really use drywall at all. I'd say it's mostly used in big office buildings or appartment blocks. Or walls that are added later but don't have to hold any mass. So if you punch a wall in germany, you have about a 100% chance to break your hand on exterior walls and about a 70% chance on interior walls

The picture with the map of Europe was funny, because it also said Hawaii and Australia on it. There was a bit of nonsense about the fact that Americans are said to be not so good at geography about Europe.😉

4:20 I believe what this refer to is that it might remind a German of the gas showers in concentration camps and the lamp hats were made of skin of victims. Thats just what I belief this shall refer to, so I can be wrong but it would fit to this type of dark humour

I think this meme is just bullsh*t but I might just not get it right

[@Lillith_Nij]

@@bastischmidt9976well in America you would probably call this a lamp shower. Which translates to “Duschlampe” in German. That might sound like “Du Schlampe”, which translates to “you whore”

A Berliner in Hamburg is a pastry... basically a strawberry filled donut (but without the hole). I didn't know that meme, but that one is dark... 🤣

No, the joke is that he would have said, i am a Hamburger.

Ich bin ein Hamburger sounds so funny.

the joke is, that the person thought, if he was in hamburg, he would have said "ich bin ein hamburger." and that is funny, because a hamburger is a food item. but the actual joke is, that the person did not know that a berliner is a food item too!
