Anyone here seen a classic fencing response?

When the common fence gets startled, it can sacrifice its spikes to confuse predators:

Go to Germany. The autobahns have a minimum speed but no maximum.

You have a speed limit between 100(km/h) and 120 on most of the autobahn. There are only some parts where you have no limit (but if you're faster than 130 and crash with someone driving below 130 you're at full fault insurance-wise, if you survive). There is a speed minimum but it's like 60 or something. Just saying so no one thinks the speed signs at the autobahn are the minimum you have to drive.

Someone had posted a youtube channel where the sounds of impact from schadenfreude videos had been used as the instruments in songs. If anyone could point me in that direction again, I would appreciate it.

Just because we can't understand our pet's emotions doesn't mean it's okay to terrorize them.
I'm so sick of these 'hilarious' planks we play on animals for internet jollies.
The cucumber thing was awful, not funny. How is it funny to see the pet you supposedly love frightened to death??

The schadenfreude is on the TV show. The balloons, their entire demeanor, all of it is almost painful given the guest of honor is really trying to will herself over the last hump toward death.

Don't feel bad about the woman, she's probably been napping since then.

It's the "You have 3 children, 12 grand-children, 20 great-grand-children and 15 great-great-grand-children"-part that makes me sad. I watched one of my grandmothers die in a retirement home while I was 5-15 years old, visiting every year to see her loosing more and more of herself. It was horrible.
The thing I took away from her 4 sons - all with families, raised as fine Christians - was: Old people are a bother and they don't need a happy live with their family anyway because they will die soon. Sorry for the :words:

I mean let's be real here, schadenfreude literally only means deriving joy from suffering. We only apply the "because they deserved it" modifier around here because otherwise we'd be sadistic assholes. But it's hardly a necessary condition.

As a German, i respectfully disagree. Let me try to explain. A person getting hit in the face with a pie on a TV show is funny. A person getting hit in the face with a pie after they boasted about being the best pie-avoider in the world is Schadenfreude. A random bystander getting hit in the face with a pie by a stranger is neither.

Does she buy makeup based on how flammable it is, or what the hell causes her to be wreathed in flames.

Yes, it's probably the makeup.......

There's flammable vapor in the bottle. Which pushes out more flammable liquid as it ignites. The girl is lucky the bottle wasn't bigger.

No Schadenfreude here, person gets severely burned in restaurant when waitress refills BBQ grill or a heating thingy, nsfw nms etc.: https://i.makeagif.com/media/6-10-2015/2WAsLr.gif

As a German, I.....

quite like this video, especially from 0:43

I'm...sorry, I don't want to derail, just "inform" you of an important difference:

Self-defense laws in Germany are different, because you are not expecting every-loving-one to have a deadly weapon with easy-mode on them. I never was afraid of being shot in Germany in my life.

First gun experience:
Kid in other 5th grade played with dads weapons.The story was it was a gun with blanks (Schreckschusspistole) and he put it on his ear, pretending to shoot himself. And then pressure to the ear something killed him. Maybe that was just the story for us kids. But he was definitely dead.

Second gun experience:
2 years ago or something 5 towns over the owner of a Sportwettenbüro, Sports gambling thing, was shot on the street in the night.

That's it. Otherwise I never heard from anyone I know (or someone that knows someone that knows someone) about a gun related death. Or even a stabbing. Making deadly weapons illegal for everyone to "just carry around" and restrict access to the most deadly ones has quite a nice effect, like, for feeling safe.

Come to Frankfurt, I'll show you around. At 3am in the red light district. We can start trouble with dudes on the street or even some Türstehers if you want.
We then will be asked to leave or may catch a beating. But we won't get shot. Maybe i can start a tourism thing here under that premise........

I mean, I’ve also never personally heard of anyone I know being shot or stabbed or doing any shooting or stabbing. That doesn’t mean I’m going to assume that nobody ever gets shot or stabbed in a fight or home invasion.

Like, knives exist? Even when they’re illegal to carry concealed?

Uh, I think I forgot to clarify that my gun experiences were that! Like, that's it. I found a more toy-like gun with blanks in my grandfathers drawers after he died, but otherwise I don't even know anyone owning a (real) gun. Or came in contact with one during my whole life.
And yes knives exist and recently some dude in a skyscraper broke a window and threw like 5 knives a second into a crowd and I think over 50 people died. But that's freedom I get behind, because I need to cut onions.
