German is spoken in different versions by Germans, Austrians, Swiss, Luxembourgers and that one Belgian.

I speak the correct version.

A gearbox is much smaller and lighter that what’s required for a diesel-electric setup.
Diesel-electric is used for big engines in ships and railroads, where the necessary torque would destroy a gearbox.

Gnome Maps is honestly really good!
Not everything has to be inside your browser.

ChatGPT is great for when what you’re looking for is the proper search term.
If I don’t know what term to google, I can describe what I’m looking for and then nudge the bot in the right direction till it spits out the term.

I’m far left, but I believe that any citizen should be allowed to own any gun.

The asshole is an asshole on purpose.
The narcissist couldn’t stop acting like an asshole even if they tried.

Klabusterbeeren
Klabusterbeeren are “berries” out of cotton and hair, which you can only harvest from your ass crack.
Also known as Winterkirschen (winter cherries).

Keyboards are the obvious one.
The standard keyboard layout is designed to slow down typing, because typing too fast lead to the arms of a typewriter hitting each other.
And why is one of the most accessible large keys fucking Capslock?
And why is there empty space around the cursor keys, so you have to use WASD as a workaround in games?
I’m not even talking about the menu key, Windows key and Copilot key.

The other one are bicycles. An aerodynamic riding position is uncomfortable for most people, so is the saddle, and when you break too hard, you fly head-first into whatever you were trying to avoid. Recumbent bicycles are better in almost every way.

I feel like plastic packaging in general has become much harder to rip open at the seam.
Anyone else notice this, or am I just much weaker now?

Protip: Buy the XXXXXL size, throw it over your junk, then shrink-wrap it with a heat gun.

Outrun, obviously.

Eurobeat

It’s very similar, but much worse.

These ones work in German and English:

Warum gehen Gottesanbeterinnen nicht in die Kirche? Weil sie in Sekten sind.

Why do praying mantisses not go to church?
Because they’re in sects.

Ich lass mir von nem Freund ein neues Dach bauen, das geht aufs Haus.

I’m getting a new roof built by a friend, it’s on the house.

This one doesn’t:
“Heiße Würstchen” — “Angenehm, heiße Maier”

“Hot sausages!” — “Nice to meet you, my name is Maier.”
(“Heiße Würstchen” can also mean “My name is Little Sausage”, which is a slur for men, like “little bitch”)

Yes, we understood what you were saying.
But your IF is followed by a nonsensical statement.
It’s a precondition that can’t be true.

Engineers never really claimed that. Motivational speakers did.
Scientists admitted that their models don’t show how bumblebees can generate enough lift to fly. By now, they’ve improved their models, taking into account that at an insect’s scale, air behaves much more like water. It “appears” to be thicker because the air molecules are larger in relation to an insect than to a human.
Also, complicated turbulence stuff.
