One of my favorite anecdotes about just how little Walmart knew about the German market isn't mentioned in your links:
Keeping with the theme of putting an American in charge, Walmart used a lot American product buyers to decide what would be sold in the stores.
An American product buyer was in charge of sourcing pillow cases and filled the shelves with "standard" sized pillow cases.
Standard size American pillows cases are 50 cm x 76 cm
German pillows are 80 cm × 80 cm

What the gently caress, German pillows are extra large? I want some German pillows.

If your animals live in perpetual fear you are doing something wrong
That cat used to belong to a family that had a lot of small rowdy children, she eventually decided she couldn't put up with their poo poo any longer and decided to camp out at my house permanently. The family eventually handed her over to me officially when it became clear she didn't intend to ever go back to their house. Even after that it took her a long time to calm down and get used to the idea that she wasn't in 24/7 danger of being grabbed and manhandled by tiny humans, and even longer before she would jump up into my lap for scritches all by herself.

I'd tell you, but it's obscene. And judging by the way you self-censored the word "gently caress", you'd probably find it scandalously offensive.

No man ever did me so much good, or enemy so much harm, but I repaid him with ENDLESS SHITPOSTING
I live in Germany and slept on 80x80cm pillows for 2 years before I got sick of loving up my neck. Bought some normal shaped memory foam pillows which are much nicer but you'd be surprised how few retailers (even online) stock pillow cases in the size you need. Pillow case selection in Berlin is the greatest unspoken tragedy of our times

I just moved to Germany a few months ago. The Karstadt right near my house actually has a good selection of normal people pillow cases, for which I am very grateful; those large pillows usually cause me to lay funky and gently caress up my neck too.

The real bedding atrocity in Germany is the rarity of flat sheets. Like seriously, what the gently caress? Check into a hotel room in the middle of summer and there's no bedding except a fitted sheet and a four inch thick duvet. Savages.

IIRC some folks in YOSPOS [bicth] buy random grey forum people avatars to support the forums. Please consider paying it forward by purchasing an avatar for someone else and inflicting upon someone else >:)

Turns out this was all a lie. A journalist reached out to Youtube and they said that they don't actually give people warnings like that and that it wasn't true anyway. They did reach out to him to tell Jones that advertisers were coming to Youtube to say that they did not want their ads on his channel.

That's high voltage behind that panel. While the stream might be broken up enough to not fry his dick off, he's pretty lucky to not get killed when he fiddles with the buttons afterward. I'd say don't do that, but you have to be drunk well past the point of listening to anyone saying, "That's a stupid idea and has a good chance of killing you," to do it anyway.
