Maybe Speculatius Duplo is over again, I haven't seen them in a while. You haven't missed much.

Also pretty bad is Lindt balls with Spekulatius. I guess it just doesn't go well with chocolate.

Furthermore, Milka apparently cut down bar size by 10% down to 270 g last year and I only noticed by accident, because that the bars do not really look smaller.

Classics since Mittelstufe! This brings back memories.

The "Läufer" Radiergummi was more often than not turned into a Reichskriegsflagge. Also, when watching Schindlers Liste, the teacher should not hand out "Rachengold-Bonbons" to a coughing pupil. It will lead to a breakdown of Schulordnung. And to a lot of "creative" slogans like "Schlomo Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund - *jingle* Sicher' Dir Dein Rachengold!"

A little bit more harmless:
I'm regularly driving to Stuttgart with my brother. Every time we pass "Untergruppenbach" it is custom to have a dialogue like "Untergruppenbach 2km voraus, Kurs halten." "Jawohl, Herr Obersturm!"

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Yeah, that entire post was like yikes

Einbauschrank should have ended that post with something pithy, like "And that teacher's name? Adolf Hitler."

Would have allowed us to imagine he's just a weirdo making really bad taste jokes instead of whatever the hell this was

Also my love for history books tells me it should be Obersturmbannführer. But maybe "Obersturm" is some odd abbreviation only Neo-Nazis use :shrug:

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

We joked around a fair bit about Nazis and all in 8th to 11th grade or so, but it was more like Galgenhumor about Germany's loving atrocious history or poo poo sounding bad (like the Hitschler Weingummis someone mentioned earlier), but none of it was along the lines of people commonly fashioning Nazi symbols or the whole class cracking jokes and laughing during loving Schindler's list, Jesus.

I mean, I'm assuming Einbauschrank was writing it in the spirit of "this is how lovely my class was" without spelling it out, because drat.

I was dumb as a kid too, but the Drittes Reich and NS ideology took on a much more serious turn for me during Kollegstufe and my Abi Kolloquium which focused on the latter. More serious turn as in actually starting to engage in proper activism against Neonazis and punching them and all, which is really what all good deutschbags should do.

Hey guys, remember when our buddy Maaßen met with the AfD to coach them on how to keep their nazism on the down low, so they don't get put under surveillance?

Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz muss Auskünfte über Treffen seines Ex-Präsidenten mit AfD-Funktionsträgern erteilen

Das VG Köln hat dem Antrag eines Journalisten des Tagesspiegels entsprochen und die Bundesrepublik Deutschland verpflichtet, diesem Auskünfte über Treffen des früheren Präsidenten des Bundesamts für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) Hans-Georg Maaßen mit Funktionsträgern der AfD zu erteilen.

Jens Spahn verkörpert als einziger der drei Kandidaten gleichzeitig einen Generationswechsel und die überfällige Richtungskorrektur in der CDU. Merz geht es eher um seinen verletzten Stolz und eine Retourkutsche gegenüber Merkel, Kramp-Karrenbauer setzt sich in der alles entscheidenden Migrationsfrage nicht von Merkels Linie ab. Beides wäre für einen zukünftigen Vorsitzenden unnötiger Ballast. Spahn hat diese Probleme nicht, er kann glaubhaft eine Erneuerung verkörpern. Leider ist die CDU noch nicht so weit, einen bekennenden Homosexuellen zum Vorsitzenden und mithin zum Kanzlerkandidaten in spe zu machen.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Überwinterungs-Chili-Update:

Kurz nach dem Zurückschneiden meiner großen Thai Chili habe ich einen Blattlausbefall im Anfangsstadium feststellen müssen. Dies versetzte mich in Rage, obgleich nicht in ein Maß an Rage, wo ich direkt nach der ~Monsanto-Keule~ greifen wollte. Ich googlete rasch Hausmittel gegen Blattläuse und fand das relativ simple Eingraben von Knoblauchzehen und Besprühen mit Knoblauchsud. Ich tat, wie mir Google befahl und vier Wochen später haben meine Maßnahmen nicht nur die Blattlausplage besiegt - NEIN - eine der in die Erde gesteckten Zehen hat sogar Wurzeln gefasst und ich fand sie vor ein paar Tagen glücklich am Spriessen.



Kredit wo Kredit ist düh, sagte ich mir und so belohnte ich die heroische Zehe mit ihrem eigenen Behältnis und verspreche diesem Faden hiermit unter Strafe von Füssilierung und / oder Balkonsturzisierung, dass ich sie großziehen werde, wie mein eigen Fleisch und Blut:



In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch allen einen schönen Abend und eine gute Nacht!

All wine is. Beer and Whisky are the only acceptable types of alcoholic beverage. :colbert:

I still remember with horror the time I had to spend at the conference center in Luminy where the only beer available were cans from the vending machine and even that was quickly depleted. Of course, not getting drunk in the evenings wasn't an option either, so regrettably we had to stoop to drinking wine. Very sad!

Back then I also discovered that the French mathematical society has their own wine brand, because of course they do. :france:

Speaking of Glühwein, can anyone confirm if what we’re calling Eierpunsch around here is equivalent to American eggnog? Because Eierpunsch just is the worst.

It's not the same. Eierpunsch is Punsch with eggs. Eggnog is made from egg yolks, sugar, rum and milk or cream. Eggnog is significantly less disgusting than Eierpunsch.

Eggnog is basically just Eierlikör with less alcohol.
