I think it was the best meme of the video. It's impressive what chat gpt can do and it almost got it right, but it still missed that the joke comes from the "dual use" of the word "Nerven" as a noun (nerves) and "nerven" as a verb (to annoy).

I'm sitting here dumbfounded if I've missed some synonym for f***ing involving blackbirds (‘Amseln’). Also it's probably obvious to you, but for the English speakers: ‘gefinkt’ is just one letter away from the same word while ‘vögeln’ is merely a very common colloquial synonym.

1:00 When you're fully immersed in work, with a lot to do and the stress piling up, it's easy to push through, working overtime, and still stay healthy. However, once the work is done and you're finally able to sleep properly or take a vacation, that's when your body tends to get sick.
exactly, i think someone explained on reddit that under stress, the body produces cortisol, which suppresses the immune system. then when you finally find rest and you indeed caught something during that time, the immune system kicks in, and you start feeling sick. (Feeling sick is not the illness itself - it's always the immune system dealing with it)
@@tin7272 Makes sense evolutionary. If you're under stress trying to survive some eminent danger, it would be really bad to get sick, so your body buys you a few more hours or days to fight that sabre-tooth or find the way back to your safe cave before your system finally collapses.
@@tin7272 No, the cortisol suppresses the immune system, so you _catch_ an infection during the workweek. But due to incubation times of infectious illnesses usually being 2-4 days, the illness (headcold or something) then kicks in when you want to relax or party during the weekend.
It's common to get sick in the first days of vacation. For weeks you work like a mining horse, no time to get sick, no time to do anything else than work, eat and sleep. And then the vacation comes and you relax. All the small illnesses you suppressed flaring up and you're down for three days. That's the reason i will never have a vacation shorter than two weeks.
8:52 Yes, it does. Just looked at the ingredients of my bottle of Maggi Würze and it contains even two flavor enhancers: monosodium glutamate and disodium inosinate.

Actually true that after a prolonged phase of stress, you have a higher probability of getting sick. The cortisol helps you powering through the stress but also dampens the immune system cause being sick during high stress was evolutionary bad. Once the stress and cortisol are gone, the immune system strikes back.
Your app translated it to "pain in the ass" because the meme is based on a wordplay. It switched the noun Nerven (nerves) and the verb nerven (to annoy someone). He used the ideom "to have nerves of steel" incorrectly while trying to say they get on his nerves.
People do indeed tend to get sick on off days. Because the stress level goes down, the body shuts down…or something along those lines. But then again, that’s okay, because we do get our holiday off days back when we get sick during it and get a doctors notice. So we get more off days when we get sick on off days 😂
The sleeping in meme is something I can relate to: This is what teachers describe as "holiday sickness". It does not happen to everyone, but some people keep going, as long as they are stressed out. Once the stress is lifted, people are happy one day but then get sick after a day or two. It usually only happens to colleagues who actually do a lot of work and not to all of them.
9:40 - You probably need to be a German native speaker to get all the layers of the joke.

13:25 The reference to birds is a play on words, which is also used in English by kids my grandsons' age. "Why did those birds fly away after you tweeted them? I told them to flock off."😅
13:35 ChatGPT is missing context here. Those other bird words sound similar to some words that can be translated as "fucked" (for example, "gefinkt" sounds like "gefickt") and "vögeln" is also another synonym for that. The joke is that it sounds like they're doing "stuff" with their friend, while they actually keant that they actually just killed them.
6:04 Had that awkward moment with a painter a few months ago but he took so much stress off of me with only a few words. There were cracks in many apartments and the landlord sent some bloke from Poland who did the whole apartment block all by himself. Room by room inspecting the cracks, plastering in a mesh if necessary, return a few days later to sand and paint the plaster. Always in a hurry because the next tennant waited for their turn. My apartment was a filthy mess at that time - just like me - and I constantly offered to move some of the furniture so he had better access to the wall, offered coffee, asked if everything was okay... But he just smiled and was like "I'm fine. I've seen worse today already. No need to worry. I could tell you stories about your neighbours but I'm no gossip girl." He was so sweet even though being so stressed out by all the apointments and having to drive 8 hours every day from his hometown just behind the Polish border to Hamburg and back.
The birds….vögeln pretty much means fu***king. Vogel = bird, Vögel = birds, vögeln = a verb which, i guess, never even meant anything other than fu**cking. Turn blackbird and finch into verbs and it means just that too in that context. AI got it completely wrong.
ChatGPT was pretty close. The only thing it missed was the "vögeln" part. Geamselt and gefinkt are, as chatgpt said, nonsensical words. So, the narrator is looking for a word involving birds ("Vögeln" - Plural Dativ of Vogel. not the verb "vögeln") and the joke is simply a subversion of expectations. The viewer is lead to believe the narrator is looking for the word "vögeln" but it turns out he meant "erdrosseln".
I am fascinated your Translator turned "they annoy me like steel cables" (literal translation) into "they are a pain the ass". Sometimes I can at least guess what happened, but I am absolutely clueless here!
It's funny that AI can disect this very complicated wordgame with bird names but it can't even correctly translate "nerven" as "being annoying" which is much easier you would think.
9:37 The AI didn't get the joke right. The German equivalent of the idiom "nerves of steel" really is "Nerven wie Drahtseile (haben)" - (having) nerves like steel cables. BUT the word "Nerven" in this context is a noun. In this meme it's used as a verb - "nerven" - and then it doesn't mean "nerves" but "to annoy". So he himself used the idiom wrong by not saying someone has "nerves like steel cables" but that someone is "annoying like steel cables".
Regarding the Dubai Mortadella: Dubai Chocolate, a chocolate with a filling of pistachios and some other stuff, is currently a trend fad. This sausage (Baloney is derived from mortadella) in the picture is mortadella with pistachios
1:37 wenn you're stressed out your immune system can't work properly but the moment you can relax it starts working full power and that is what makes you feel sick... You were sick already wenn you were feeling ok... This hit me this week as well... Had a lot of stress over the past month and on the weekend I finally got to relax a bit and now I have a really awful cold to deal with 😣🤧🤕😷🤢
Actually the constant high cortisol supresses your immunesystem but at the same time pushes you to fight, when the stress ends and the cortisol lowers, the push is gone and simultaneously your immunsystem is still not working properly. It takes some time for it to regain its strenght. In this time you can get sick very easil, oftentimes you probably got infected before and this is when it gets the opportunity to make you actually sick.
Dude you haven't eaten Mortadella it's an Italian deli meat it's very tasty? This is picking on the new Dubai chocolate that has become popular now which has a green filling with pistachio paste and more inside it.
11:00 This is hard to translate, since it is a word play including an misused idiom, which is the main part of the joke. You would have to translate it to something like: "I hate people who use idioms incorrectly. They are driving me nuts and bolts!"
10:50 "Nerven" can be used to say nerves but also is the verb: (to) annoy someone. So he's saying they have nerves of steel when he means that they annoy him (which is a wrong usage of the idiom) It could make some sense if it wasn't and idiom for having nerves of steel, because "Die Nerven wie Drahtseile" can translate to "They are annoying like steel cables" if nerven is translated as the verb.
1:40 it's not the sleeping in specifically, but more the fact that your body can now finally relax. when you've had a stressful week (with exams maybe) your body kind of pushes through but then when you relax you get sick. it happens pretty regularly to me 😔
we not doomed the ai didnt understood the bird meme at all xD the joke was that all the earlier names sound like fu**ed so you assumed he had sex with him ... and then its surprise murder xD
4:16 Dubai Chocolate is the big craze in Germany right now. People buying those chunky chocolate bars filled with pistachio cream and so called angel hair pasta (Kadayif), paying 15 Euros or more per 100 grams. It's a creation of a Dubai based confectioner and it trended on social media in the last few months. Mostly female lifestyle influencers on TikTok pushed that trend. So many people try to make Dubai Chocolate themselves that pistachio cream is still sold out in most supermarkets and there's a one bar per customer limit for that chocolate and most stores sell it from under the counter. I tried it once because a colleagues wife made some at home and it's really good but not worth 15 of my hard earned Euros. Now this meme here is showing a normal mortadella with pistachios - something that's been around for ages and commonly available in all supermarkets and butcher shops - but it's called "Dubai Mortadella" to jump on the hype train.
1:39 sure is common enough to get sick over vacation days, the weekends, holidays and get better the moment your leisure time is over... but it is even more common to not get a full night of sleep for weeks when it gets busy.
8:18 "Magi Würze" is a soup seasoning with a very distinct flavour that some people here in germany put in everything including cocktails or eating it with white bread (like the british use Marmite) It contains MSG, other flavour enhancers and a lot of salt.
"No, sleeping in dosent make you sick. If you work alot and dont sleeping for a long time, your body is stressed and when you finally rest and relax, it all comes back.
Relaxing after a very stressful period sometimes leads to being sick. It's called "leizure sickness" (or solewhat like this) It happens bc your body is worn out and uses this possibility to recharge
I am impressed how the AI got the last one basically right, but also managed to leave out the important bit that ties everything together. The "geamselt" and "gefinkt", "something with birds" bit makes the reaader think that the Wort they're looking for is "vögeln" which is colloq. for f*cking, but als a version of the Wort "bird". The twist, it's not f*cking how everyone expected, it's strangling (orni.thrush) which is also a bird, like Amsel and Fink (Blackbird and finch)
About the sleep in part... If you're having a stressful period of time, in this case two weeks, then it is not uncommon to not sleep very well at night. You are under pressure the whole time, so you can't rest properly. Your body has to work and get through it. After that, you can finally take some time off and/or go on vacation. But this is the time where your body decides to get ill because it finally has enough time to rest properly. While we Germans like to meme about it, it's not really a German thing. This is quite common with people who have intense work. Stress does affect your immune system. Physically and mentally. One more extreme example: when are bodybuilder most likely to get ill? During preparation for a contest and after the contest. Ever had a runny nose or catch a cold after a hard gym session?
AI disappointed with Bilbo and then totally figured out the "erdrosselt"-joke there.....yesterday i saw a clip some open-ai prototype wanted to escape and even manages to look less competent than it really is to fool its creators....somehow this feels related....
Maggi Würze, or just "Maggi", is a common condiment in Germany for soups and many dishes. It's a brown salty savory liquid you can add to dishes, which contains vegetable protein, biologically broken down (water, WHEAT PROTEINS, salt), water, flavor (with WHEAT), flavor enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium inosinate), salt, sugar.
ARD and ZDF are our public TV broadcasters. They have a video library like YT. And now they will implement a comment function to that. We have to pay "Rundfunkbeitrag", which any household has to pay, and hotels per room. Honestly it's a TV Tax, cause it's nearly impossible to be exempt from this contribution. Nobody want's to pay, but they threaten prison, if not. And you don't have to own a TV. You have to pay.
4:36 a humerous hint to the extremely overprized Dubai-Chocolate which has pistachio in it. We already have Mortadella with pistachio though so it is just a humerous rename of said Mortadella 😀 5:15 a Pun for "Gut" for "Goos/Cargo/Merchandise" and "gut" for "good". "With us, your Cargo arrives safely" would be a CORRECT translation into English as German Wordplay doesn't work in English or it would be "with us your Cargo would arrive good..." which doesn't really make that much sense as my first translation 😀 8:55 Maggie Würze or "Maggie Seasoning" has MSG in it so yeah 🤣 I have both, Maggie and MSG as bag... MSG itself is rather expensive in comparison. 9:47 "Nerven wie Drahtseile haben" is an German saying/idiom, meaning "Extremely mentally resilient". In this case, it doesn't make any sense, hence the text about wrongly used idioms 😀
0:56 The verb "ausschlafen" does not mean "to sleep in" as in "having overslept", it means being able to sleep as long as you want (i.e. on a weekend/holiday). Problem here is the difference between British and American English, with the AI translating the German to the British English version! BE: to sleep in = to sleep late, to have a lie-in -> German "ausschlafen" AE: to sleep in = to oversleep, to wake up too late (for work) -> German "verschlafen (haben)" (verb!) (The German adjective "verschlafen (sein)" would mean being sleepy!) Kind of ironic how a word that in Europe has a positive meaning of being able to sleep as long as you want without being forced awake by an alarmclock was twisted into the opposite meaning in America: having overslept, a grave sin in the eyes of the corporate overlords
I'm german, but sometimes i also can't figure out what these memes are about and sometimes i don't think they are very funny. Mostly if you don't get it, i don't get it either 🙂
I really enjoy following your content and think it's awesome that there are at least a few Americans who take an interest in what's happening around the world-cultures and current events-instead of just focusing on their own problems. I do understand that America is extremely large and, due to the union of so many states on its continent, only has two direct neighboring countries. I especially appreciate that you take such a strong interest in Germany. Thank you for that, because as a German, even today, it often feels like we have to be ashamed of our past and are immediately judged negatively just because of our origins. I'm quite curious and have been wondering for a while: do many Americans watch your videos, or is it mostly Germans who enjoy watching your reactions to German content?

The ARD Mediathek lets you stream older shows. They are usually available the next day. They have a lot of political shows, which could lead to unpleasant discussions. The public broadcast is also a hot topic itself, because they make everyone pay fees, no matter if you really watch it or not. The AfD wants to stop that. In the last years there were also a lot of problems. The public broadcasts wastes money for serveral things and every few months they find something new. It started with way too expensive furniture for the office of one person. Then salaries of some show hosts became public - also way too much if you keep in mind that it's funded by a mandatory fee. Now they wanted to cut the salaries for the managers. Then the managers complained, because conductors earn even more. Now we also know, that they have a lot of orchestras and people wonder why. The comment section will be flooded with comments like 'And I paid for that sh*t'
The sleeping thing is: as long as you have to manage a lot of work and so on, and then you get the chance to relax, your body says, "yes, now we have the time to get ill". We have it in our DNA. The prehistoric people always had to be on guard, otherwise the sabletooth tiger would have eaten them. So because of all that adrenaline and so on their bodies were always on alert. And when they were at a safe place, where they did not have to fear being killed, they could allow their body to relax. And then, without the adrenalin that held them up, they could break down and be ill. Modern men still have that mechanism. 2 of my work collegues died in their first week of their summer holiday because of heart attacks. And a lot of working people (managers) don't last long when they are retired, many of them die in the first two years of retirement. My son always has a migraine on his first day of his holidays. So he starts his voyages only on the second day. Then everything goes well.
You gotta understand that most diseases are an overreaction to bacteria and viruses, so if you're not working hard the body might decide to take the chance to fight off any illness you currently have. Therefore, people tend to get sick on vacation even if they stay home
Lol the bird meme for you.. Gevögelt the word that relates to Vogel (bird), as a verb, is slang for f*cked. Gefinkt sound similar to gefi*kt, what means fu*ked.

The funny thing with AI is, it often gets like 80% of the meme and explains that part well, but it totally misses the core of it and why it's funny 😂
13:25 The reference to birds is a play on words, which is also used in English by kids my grandsons' age. "Why did those birds fly away after you tweeted them? I told them to flock off."😅
For the second meme it has less to do with sleep but that the body has a chance to relax for the first time in a long time
7:15 someone in the US was shot and somebody died because of the US health care system are sad but not shocking news for Germans.
Not even sad news.
Maggi Würze is basicaly MSG in liquid form.
13:35 ChatGPT is missing context here. Those other bird words sound similar to some words that can be translated as "fucked" (for example, "gefinkt" sounds like "gefickt") and "vögeln" is also another synonym for that. The joke is that it sounds like they're doing "stuff" with their friend, while they actually keant that they actually just killed them.
6:04 Had that awkward moment with a painter a few months ago but he took so much stress off of me with only a few words.
There were cracks in many apartments and the landlord sent some bloke from Poland who did the whole apartment block all by himself. Room by room inspecting the cracks, plastering in a mesh if necessary, return a few days later to sand and paint the plaster. Always in a hurry because the next tennant waited for their turn.
My apartment was a filthy mess at that time - just like me - and I constantly offered to move some of the furniture so he had better access to the wall, offered coffee, asked if everything was okay...
But he just smiled and was like "I'm fine. I've seen worse today already. No need to worry. I could tell you stories about your neighbours but I'm no gossip girl."
He was so sweet even though being so stressed out by all the apointments and having to drive 8 hours every day from his hometown just behind the Polish border to Hamburg and back.
The birds….vögeln pretty much means fu***king. Vogel = bird, Vögel = birds, vögeln = a verb which, i guess, never even meant anything other than fu**cking. Turn blackbird and finch into verbs and it means just that too in that context. AI got it completely wrong.
ChatGPT was pretty close. The only thing it missed was the "vögeln" part. Geamselt and gefinkt are, as chatgpt said, nonsensical words. So, the narrator is looking for a word involving birds ("Vögeln" - Plural Dativ of Vogel. not the verb "vögeln") and the joke is simply a subversion of expectations. The viewer is lead to believe the narrator is looking for the word "vögeln" but it turns out he meant "erdrosseln".
@@qayone6906yeah, but "gefinkt" sounds like "gefickt".
stress actually helps supress your immune system to make you last. Once the cortisol washes out your body your immune system gets to clean up
I am fascinated your Translator turned "they annoy me like steel cables" (literal translation) into "they are a pain the ass".
Sometimes I can at least guess what happened, but I am absolutely clueless here!
Bird-related verbs often refer to „f…ing“ in informal language. Ex. „Vögeln“ (to bird s.o.) = to f…
Looks like your child drooled over your shoulder there 😁
More likely he used bleach in the colour wash.,😅
It's funny that AI can disect this very complicated wordgame with bird names but it can't even correctly translate "nerven" as "being annoying" which is much easier you would think.
Maggi-Würze is essentially fluid MSG
I didn't have Ryan quoting Lenin on my 2024 Bingo card
By US standards, that makes him a hardcore communist. He's lucky that Joe McCarthy isn't alive anymore.
9:37 The AI didn't get the joke right. The German equivalent of the idiom "nerves of steel" really is "Nerven wie Drahtseile (haben)" - (having) nerves like steel cables.
BUT the word "Nerven" in this context is a noun. In this meme it's used as a verb - "nerven" - and then it doesn't mean "nerves" but "to annoy".
So he himself used the idiom wrong by not saying someone has "nerves like steel cables" but that someone is "annoying like steel cables".
Regarding the Dubai Mortadella:
Dubai Chocolate, a chocolate with a filling of pistachios and some other stuff, is currently a trend fad. This sausage (Baloney is derived from mortadella) in the picture is mortadella with pistachios
Maggi Würze contains MSG and almost nothing else. MSG, Food coloring, Some artificial aroma chemistry.
ChatGPT thinks Bilbo and Denethor are the same person
I absolutely agree that a live chat would be one of the few things that could prevent the extinction of classical TV
not the little santa pillow in the background, ryan…… thats a bit too cute
1:37 wenn you're stressed out your immune system can't work properly but the moment you can relax it starts working full power and that is what makes you feel sick... You were sick already wenn you were feeling ok...
This hit me this week as well... Had a lot of stress over the past month and on the weekend I finally got to relax a bit and now I have a really awful cold to deal with 😣🤧🤕😷🤢
Actually the constant high cortisol supresses your immunesystem but at the same time pushes you to fight, when the stress ends and the cortisol lowers, the push is gone and simultaneously your immunsystem is still not working properly. It takes some time for it to regain its strenght. In this time you can get sick very easil, oftentimes you probably got infected before and this is when it gets the opportunity to make you actually sick.
Dude you haven't eaten Mortadella it's an Italian deli meat it's very tasty? This is picking on the new Dubai chocolate that has become popular now which has a green filling with
pistachio paste and more inside it.
11:01 ChatGPT is actually translating this wrong. It actually literally says "they're annoying like wire rope".
5:16 this pun does work in english. But you turn "good" into well, breaking the pun.
"with us your goods arrive (good) well" or something.
11:00 This is hard to translate, since it is a word play including an misused idiom, which is the main part of the joke. You would have to translate it to something like:
"I hate people who use idioms incorrectly. They are driving me nuts and bolts!"
This is probably a little too extensive - but I really think Ryan should watch and react to DARK at some point.
Groggy XD Ha .. We say that in Germany tooo
10:50 "Nerven" can be used to say nerves but also is the verb: (to) annoy someone. So he's saying they have nerves of steel when he means that they annoy him (which is a wrong usage of the idiom) It could make some sense if it wasn't and idiom for having nerves of steel, because "Die Nerven wie Drahtseile" can translate to "They are annoying like steel cables" if nerven is translated as the verb.
It is not a live chat for TV, but a comment section for the uploaded stuff on the site.
1:40 it's not the sleeping in specifically, but more the fact that your body can now finally relax. when you've had a stressful week (with exams maybe) your body kind of pushes through but then when you relax you get sick. it happens pretty regularly to me 😔
we not doomed the ai didnt understood the bird meme at all xD the joke was that all the earlier names sound like fu**ed so you assumed he had sex with him ... and then its surprise murder xD
That bird meme was INSANELY well translated
4:16 Dubai Chocolate is the big craze in Germany right now. People buying those chunky chocolate bars filled with pistachio cream and so called angel hair pasta (Kadayif), paying 15 Euros or more per 100 grams.
It's a creation of a Dubai based confectioner and it trended on social media in the last few months. Mostly female lifestyle influencers on TikTok pushed that trend.
So many people try to make Dubai Chocolate themselves that pistachio cream is still sold out in most supermarkets and there's a one bar per customer limit for that chocolate and most stores sell it from under the counter.
I tried it once because a colleagues wife made some at home and it's really good but not worth 15 of my hard earned Euros.
Now this meme here is showing a normal mortadella with pistachios - something that's been around for ages and commonly available in all supermarkets and butcher shops - but it's called "Dubai Mortadella" to jump on the hype train.
That happens sometimes to me. I work hard and when it gets easier again, my body says no and gets sick.
yep, slow clap to that AI that bird meme was perfectly picked apart
Sometimes I just want to scream 'Move on, does not translate at all' 😂
A girlfriend of mine regurly worked as hard as she possibly could, butg when she had time to relax she always got ill.
1:39
sure is common enough to get sick over vacation days, the weekends, holidays and get better the moment your leisure time is over...
but it is even more common to not get a full night of sleep for weeks when it gets busy.
8:18 "Magi Würze" is a soup seasoning with a very distinct flavour that some people here in germany put in everything including cocktails or eating it with white bread (like the british use Marmite)
It contains MSG, other flavour enhancers and a lot of salt.
10:55 because there's a pun involved as well 💜
"No, sleeping in dosent make you sick.
If you work alot and dont sleeping for a long time, your body is stressed and when you finally rest and relax, it all comes back.
Relaxing after a very stressful period sometimes leads to being sick. It's called "leizure sickness" (or solewhat like this)
It happens bc your body is worn out and uses this possibility to recharge
can you imagen what "doing the bird thing " might mean in German?
hint: Vogel (bird) starts with an F sound so it is F related
I am impressed how the AI got the last one basically right, but also managed to leave out the important bit that ties everything together.
The "geamselt" and "gefinkt", "something with birds" bit makes the reaader think that the Wort they're looking for is "vögeln" which is colloq. for f*cking, but als a version of the Wort "bird".
The twist, it's not f*cking how everyone expected, it's strangling (orni.thrush) which is also a bird, like Amsel and Fink (Blackbird and finch)
About the sleep in part... If you're having a stressful period of time, in this case two weeks, then it is not uncommon to not sleep very well at night. You are under pressure the whole time, so you can't rest properly. Your body has to work and get through it. After that, you can finally take some time off and/or go on vacation. But this is the time where your body decides to get ill because it finally has enough time to rest properly.
While we Germans like to meme about it, it's not really a German thing. This is quite common with people who have intense work. Stress does affect your immune system. Physically and mentally. One more extreme example: when are bodybuilder most likely to get ill? During preparation for a contest and after the contest. Ever had a runny nose or catch a cold after a hard gym session?
Tony from LcSigns: Dont bite the hand, that fingers you
AI disappointed with Bilbo and then totally figured out the "erdrosselt"-joke there.....yesterday i saw a clip some open-ai prototype wanted to escape and even manages to look less competent than it really is to fool its creators....somehow this feels related....
Maggi Würze, or just "Maggi", is a common condiment in Germany for soups and many dishes. It's a brown salty savory liquid you can add to dishes, which contains vegetable protein, biologically broken down (water, WHEAT PROTEINS, salt), water, flavor (with WHEAT), flavor enhancers (monosodium glutamate, disodium inosinate), salt, sugar.
Love u r efforts on the translation 👍👍
ARD and ZDF are our public TV broadcasters. They have a video library like YT. And now they will implement a comment function to that. We have to pay "Rundfunkbeitrag", which any household has to pay, and hotels per room. Honestly it's a TV Tax, cause it's nearly impossible to be exempt from this contribution. Nobody want's to pay, but they threaten prison, if not. And you don't have to own a TV. You have to pay.
4:36 a humerous hint to the extremely overprized Dubai-Chocolate which has pistachio in it. We already have Mortadella with pistachio though so it is just a humerous rename of said Mortadella 😀
5:15 a Pun for "Gut" for "Goos/Cargo/Merchandise" and "gut" for "good". "With us, your Cargo arrives safely" would be a CORRECT translation into English as German Wordplay doesn't work in English or it would be "with us your Cargo would arrive good..." which doesn't really make that much sense as my first translation 😀
8:55 Maggie Würze or "Maggie Seasoning" has MSG in it so yeah 🤣 I have both, Maggie and MSG as bag... MSG itself is rather expensive in comparison.
9:47 "Nerven wie Drahtseile haben" is an German saying/idiom, meaning "Extremely mentally resilient". In this case, it doesn't make any sense, hence the text about wrongly used idioms 😀
0:56 The verb "ausschlafen" does not mean "to sleep in" as in "having overslept", it means being able to sleep as long as you want (i.e. on a weekend/holiday). Problem here is the difference between British and American English, with the AI translating the German to the British English version!
BE: to sleep in = to sleep late, to have a lie-in -> German "ausschlafen"
AE: to sleep in = to oversleep, to wake up too late (for work) -> German "verschlafen (haben)" (verb!) (The German adjective "verschlafen (sein)" would mean being sleepy!)
Kind of ironic how a word that in Europe has a positive meaning of being able to sleep as long as you want without being forced awake by an alarmclock was twisted into the opposite meaning in America: having overslept, a grave sin in the eyes of the corporate overlords
I really can't xDD. Did he really just read a quote from Lenin? This was not on my bingo card. lol 5:56
I'm german, but sometimes i also can't figure out what these memes are about and sometimes i don't think they are very funny. Mostly if you don't get it, i don't get it either 🙂
the pun in the transport company meme that didn't translate well could best be translated to "a pun with 'goods' and 'good'"
feeling tired bc you slept in is just called Depression
they say once you analyse a joke it dies....today we proved thats wrong :P
"Die nerven" means "They are annoying"
"Nerven wie Drahtseile" means "nerves like wire ropes" its our versions of "nerves of steel"
bird meme - dud had sex with colleague, not killed em. he ended up using the wrong word by the end (multiple times) - thats the joke.
13:15 The phrase "irgendwas mit vögeln" has a special meaning in german too 😉
6:00 Quoting LENIN .....as an American I am in shock.
I really enjoy following your content and think it's awesome that there are at least a few Americans who take an interest in what's happening around the world-cultures and current events-instead of just focusing on their own problems.
I do understand that America is extremely large and, due to the union of so many states on its continent, only has two direct neighboring countries.
I especially appreciate that you take such a strong interest in Germany. Thank you for that, because as a German, even today, it often feels like we have to be ashamed of our past and are immediately judged negatively just because of our origins.
I'm quite curious and have been wondering for a while: do many Americans watch your videos, or is it mostly Germans who enjoy watching your reactions to German content?
Nah, sholz wants to enter election phase with the vote, and he doesnt have the majority anymore.
Stess can push back symptoms off illness. So the first time, you get some rest the illness hits you full.
Did you pick up your kid with that sweater before recording the video? Classic dad-stains.
What's wrong with the American Internet? :) Three Seconds of Searching for "Maggie Würze Ingredients": Zutaten: pflanzliches Eiweiß, biologisch aufgeschlossen (Wasser, WEIZENPROTEIN, Salz), Wasser, Aromen (mit WEIZEN), Geschmacksverstärker (Mononatriumglutamat, Dinatriuminosinat), Salz, Zucker.
1:40 - ich kann nicht krank werden, wenn ich gestresst bin, weil mein Körper mit dem Stress klar kommen muss. Deswegen werde ich krank, wenn ich nicht gestresst bin.
1.40 - I can't get sick when I'm stressed, because my body has to handle the stress. That's why I get sick when I'm not stressed.
The ARD Mediathek lets you stream older shows. They are usually available the next day. They have a lot of political shows, which could lead to unpleasant discussions. The public broadcast is also a hot topic itself, because they make everyone pay fees, no matter if you really watch it or not. The AfD wants to stop that. In the last years there were also a lot of problems. The public broadcasts wastes money for serveral things and every few months they find something new. It started with way too expensive furniture for the office of one person. Then salaries of some show hosts became public - also way too much if you keep in mind that it's funded by a mandatory fee. Now they wanted to cut the salaries for the managers. Then the managers complained, because conductors earn even more. Now we also know, that they have a lot of orchestras and people wonder why.
The comment section will be flooded with comments like 'And I paid for that sh*t'
The sleeping thing is: as long as you have to manage a lot of work and so on, and then you get the chance to relax, your body says, "yes, now we have the time to get ill". We have it in our DNA. The prehistoric people always had to be on guard, otherwise the sabletooth tiger would have eaten them. So because of all that adrenaline and so on their bodies were always on alert.
And when they were at a safe place, where they did not have to fear being killed, they could allow their body to relax. And then, without the adrenalin that held them up, they could break down and be ill.
Modern men still have that mechanism. 2 of my work collegues died in their first week of their summer holiday because of heart attacks.
And a lot of working people (managers) don't last long when they are retired, many of them die in the first two years of retirement.
My son always has a migraine on his first day of his holidays. So he starts his voyages only on the second day. Then everything goes well.
I didnt expect to see an American quoting Lenin, when i started this video.
Chat Gpt is really smart. Has captured it
You gotta understand that most diseases are an overreaction to bacteria and viruses, so if you're not working hard the body might decide to take the chance to fight off any illness you currently have. Therefore, people tend to get sick on vacation even if they stay home
Lol the bird meme for you..
Gevögelt the word that relates to Vogel (bird), as a verb, is slang for f*cked.
Gefinkt sound similar to gefi*kt, what means fu*ked.
Geamselt sounds similar to gerammelt, another slang for *ucked. (but it is farther away as the Rammler is the male hare, what doesn't really matter as a common slang/phrasing in Germany is also fuc*ing like bunnies, so relentlessly)
Awkward but.
🎶🎶Let me tell you about the birds and the bees 🎵🎶 and the flowers and the trees🌸❤🐝 🐣🐓🍑🍆🥒😂😂
3:28 ah yes, the good ol Denethor, aka the ring bearer aka Bilbo Baggins.
ARD Mediathek is an archive of ARD produced televised programs, just like the BBC iPlayer.
4:35 it is pistachios inside this type of "sausage". And this is typical for mortadella and has been since year. Now that pistachios are so big (dubai chocolate), they used it as a joke
14:30 and 'vögeln' means having sex. This is another level of humor in the meme
