That means speed limit.
And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.
‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis – Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing.
No way. Who would have thought that?
And I thought I was a slow learner.
German Antisemitism Commissioner Leaves the Left Party Over Anti-Israel Stance, Lack of Support Amid Death Threats – Andreas Büttner, the commissioner for antisemitism in the state of Brandenburg in northeastern Germany, has resigned from the Left Party, citing a rise in antisemitism within the ranks, relentless personal attacks, and a party climate that has become intolerable.
“I struggled with this decision for a long time, as I have felt a deep connection to the party over many years,” Büttner wrote in a letter to the party leadership, as reported by German media.
“But I have reached a point where I must acknowledge that I can no longer remain a member of this party without betraying my own convictions,” he continued.
Get it? See the “miss” in the mistake?
No offense, ma’am. But German misses just ain’t what they used to be.

That means a soft egg.
And that mean a wimp.
German tourist sues NYC taco shop for $100K over dangerously ‘spicy’ hot sauce that left him in ‘nonstop’ pain: suit – What a dummkopf!
A German tourist tried to squeeze a Times Square taco spot for $100,000 — claiming his northern European tongue suffered “nonstop pain” from dangerously spicy salsa — but a judge said “nein” to his lawsuit.

Just joking.
German high school students protest against military service – Tens of thousands of high school students took to the streets of cities all over the country to protest against the reintroduction of military service. Many people believe that conscription is inevitable.
Young people gathered in Berlin’s central Potsdamer Square on Thursday and marched through the German capital to protest against the government’s plans to reintroduce military service.

“I don’t think I’ll be dying for my friends, relatives or acquaintances, in the worst-case scenario,” 17-year-old Shmuel Schatz, spokesperson for the School Strike Committee, told DW’s Gasia Ohanes. “Rather, in the end, only for those who are put into the trenches for the interests of large corporations like Rheinmetall, ThyssenKrupp, and others, so they can line their pockets at the expense of war.”
The Iran conflict is ruining German vacation plans!
Call in the Germany military – to get German vactioners out.
Iran war: Tens of thousands of German travelers stranded – German tour operators say at least 30,000 customers have been left without travel options after thousands of flights were canceled across the Middle East because of the US-Israel war with Iran.
Tens of thousands of people on trips organized by German travel agencies have been affected by US-Israel war with Iran, a leading trade group said on Monday.
Figures from the German Travel Association suggest that some 30,000 tourists are unable to fly home amid the hostilities, which have prompted several countries in the region to close their airspace, while many airlines have put flights into and out of the crisis area on hold.
German flagship carrier Lufthansa is among those airlines. The company said that airspace over Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the Saudi airport of Dammam will not be used by Lufthansa and its subsidiaries until at least March 8. United Arab Emirates airspace will be avoided until March 4.
Or country. Or culture. Or whatever.
After Germany begins to shrink because of exposure to a combination of radiation and insecticide, medical science is powerless to help it…
Germany is aging and shrinking much faster than expected – The latest forecasts predict a sharp decline in the population. One reason is that too few children are being born. Immigration, even in greater numbers, will not offset the trend.
No way. We were robbed!
US now ranks behind only Russia as top world peace threat in German eyes, researchers find.
Two-thirds of Germans view the United States as one of the greatest threats to world peace, surpassing China and edging closer to Russia, according to a nationwide opinion poll. The survey by the Allensbach Institute, a German market research firm, revealed that 65% of respondents named the U.S. among the countries they believe could pose the greatest threat to global peace in the coming years.
Two-thirds of them don’t welcome killer robots.
They’re stuck in the past, man.
One in three Germans welcome killer robots, new poll says – AI-enabled technologies like drones are transforming warfare but face criticism from rights groups.
Call it “bots on the ground.”
One in three Germans think their country should allow artificial intelligence to make life-or-death decisions on the battle field, according to The POLITICO Poll.
A third of respondents in Germany said they favor AI systems to be used in weapons in place of human decision makers, even if these systems are less transparent, the poll showed.
It’s no fun. Believe me. Don’t do it.
Germans do it with sub-zero temperatures outside. People with any sense don’t do it at all.
‘House burping’ is a cold reality in Germany. Americans are warming to it.
The often mandated German practice of airing out homes no matter the season has strained and even ended relationships, but it’s gotten a boost on U.S. social media.
After moving to Berlin from Honolulu, Wyatt Gordon was surprised when his new German roommate marched into his bedroom at 8 a.m. and threw open the windows.
It turned out that his cohabitant, Laura, maintained a strict ventilation regime. Three times a day, at precise times, all the windows in the apartment needed to be opened. It didn’t matter whether it was the dead of winter or a weekend morning, or if Gordon had company. Rules were rules.
