      Also to mention: Some rare words may have more than one gender in German. Another example: der Joghurt and das Joghurt, so male and neuter, both are correct and mean the same = yoghurt. Der or das Nutella, some people also say "die Nutella" (female form) which then may be heard as "Dino-Teller" (dino plate). Not to be confused with words that have two gender but also then two different meanings, like "der Mangel" (m, the deficit) and "die Mangel" (f, the mangle) or die See (f, the sea) and der See (m, the lake) or das Tor (n, the gate ) and der Tor (m, the fool).

    The kissing meme shows two youtubers, rezo and parabelritter. One is from the former east the other from the west. The kiss referenzes the bruderkuss of honecker and gorbatschow that was immortalized on the berlin wall.
    Edit: ich hatte es nochmal gegoogelt, aber lass mich gerne belehren, dass es Breschnew war. Ich dachte das "former west" was implied, obwohl man klugscheissend sagen kann, dass nach artikel 23 GG die DDR sich aufgelöst bzw. Der BRD beigetreten ist. So dass rechtlich das eine noch existiert, das andere aber nicht. Eine echte Vereinigung nachder sich beide Vorgänger Staaten auflösen hätte nach artikel 146gg passieren müssen.

It's about a small Gallic Villages which doesn't want to be ruled by Rome. They have a Druid and other ppl. The Druid makes rhe special drink which makes you stronger for a While. Obelix can't drink from it cause when he was a Kid he fell into a Big Pot of that Zaubertrank and he was strong forever! They have 2 fighting Fish Sellers who are fighting for who has the freshest fish, their Bard can't sing, a small Dog called Idefix. An old Guy Methusalix (from an old greek or so Gods Tale, Sagen, Legends(?) Methusalem) who is married to the young most beautiful Lady at the Village. There is a bad Leader and a Wife which is more of a Leader than him. Ita great Village and they Beat the Imperium Roma. Best Kids Book/Comic ever.

      Obelix can drink the magic potion. He's usually just not allowed to because it would be a waste and the effect a bit unpredictable. Also they make jokes about him trying to get it anyway in very obvious ways. He gets to drink it once or twice IIRC but not sure in which stories.
      The fight over the fish is between the fishmonger (who claims it's fresh) and the blacksmith (who claims it isn't and reeks). IIRC it's said a few times that they just want an excuse to start a friendly fight.
      Methusalem is from the Bible which claims he got close to 1000.

    For the Nutella meme:
    People argue over which of the kind guy has "der", "die" or "das" Nutella. Each is correct, as it is a registered fantasy word and even the manufacturer of the spread says it doesn't matter.
    Since "dinosaur" has a "di", which can be extended with an "e" for the article "die" and the plate is shouted in German "Teller" and you spoke it like “Tella“, you can then read this as plumb: "Dino Teller" or in reference to Nutella: "DiNutella" → “Die Nutella“.

      Yes, as the historical Saxons were the tribes living in today's Lower Saxony and southern Schleswig-Holstein. It were probably Saxon trading ships the Finns first encountered. Today's Saxony got it's name by dynastical shenanigans and lots of bribery during the 12th and the 15th century. In the 12th century, the Welfs lost the Dukedom of Saxony. It was carved up into several smaller dukedoms, and the eastern one was given to a new aristocratic family, the Askanians. In the 15th century, the last Askanian heir died without sons, hence his title went to the new aristocratic family of Wettin, who were margraves of Meissen at the time. So the title "Duke of Saxony" over several centuries moved upstream of the Elbe river until it reached today's Saxony.

      @@kleinweichkleinweichIt's a little more complicated. Yes, it stopped for about 250 years with the Askanians, who ruled places around today's Saxony-Anhalt. But the name Saxony-Anhalt does not derive from that time. When Frederick de Belligerent was awarded the Dukedom of Saxony, he also got the Churkreis, the region around today's Halle and Wittenberg, because that was the deed the Dukedom was coupled to. In 1815, during the Congress of Vienna, the Churkreis was annected by Prussia and renamed into Province of Saxony (probably to enrage the King of Saxony). After World War II, the formerly separate Country of Anhalt was united with the Prussian province of Saxony and Magdeburg to the new Country Saxony-Anhalt by the Allies, but was dissolved into Bezirk Halle and Bezirk Magdeburg by East Germany in 1952.

    The pastry war meme refers to a pastry that many americany might call jellyfilled donut.
    It has different names in different regions and if you want to start a heated (but funny) argument, you can just bring it up (espeially when people from different regions are present xD
    Some call them "Berliner", some call them "Krapfen", some (especially in the east) call them Pfannkuchen (which is a completely different food everwhere else - something similar to a crepe) and some call it "Kräppel". Everyone is funnily really protective about their way to name it xD
    (Where I live we call them Kräppel. Berliner is known as well. Krapfen is rarely used and no one would get the idea to call it Pfannkuchen, as that it a different food item/dish)
    (It was the one and only thing everyone from the 3 other fraction could agree on - Pfannkuchen is a different dish, which all of the Pfannkuchen fraction deeply decline/Contradict xD)

The meme first lists the masculine form of "the Nutella" (der Nutella), then the neuter form (das Nutella) and when it comes to the feminine form, there's a plate with a dinosaur on it, because "Dino-Teller", the German translation of "dinosaur plate", sounds similar to Nutella's feminine form "die Nutella".

    Those thing with the glasses is a classic German thing, but the choice of the glasses in the second picture was a bit unfortunate. Those four glasses are empty mustard glasses. And in Germany many mustard glasses are fashioned in such a way, that they become simple drinking glasses when emptied of mustard and washed. We call it "Senfkristall" and the different producers of mustard know this and some sell the mustard in decorated glasses for you to collect. You buy their mustard until you have an entire set of new and decorated drinking glasses.

    The captions for the last video aren't even close, I assume that the auto caption tool expected English instead of German. It's a clip from a German comedy quiz show. The host and the contestants are known comedians and actors. Viewers send in questions and the contestants have to answer them, but the questions are usually very hard or about niche topics, so they have some funny discussions about what may be the answer. The voices in the clip are AI generated.
    Translation:
    Host: "Markus Söder (minister president of Bavaria) from Mountain-Germany asks: It's the weekend, weed and gender inclusive speech have finally been banned. How do you and the boy celebrate, that all drugs are illegal now?"
    Contestant: "Delicious beer and total intoxication"
    Host: "Correct answer"
    (I had to take some liberties with the translation because a lot of the words were either hard to translate without an entire paragraph of explanations or were not "proper" words. For example, the word that was used for weed was "Bubatz", it's used for weed, but it's a rather new word, that is mainly used jokingly by rather young people. It's not something you would expect to hear from the Host, or the person that submitted the question. Before the legalization it was a trend to ask "When Bubatz legal?", either in the comments under posts from politicians or even in person at events. Hearing the word from a politician is so unexpected, that it was practically the only topic on German Reddit for a few days, when our minister of finance tweeted "Bubatz soon legal")

    Dear Mr. Wass,
    I was a bit surprised that you didn't know about the Asterix comics, which have so many translations that I thought would be known all over the world.
    Well, everyone can make mistakes, including me,
    but that brings with it an opportunity to warmly recommend this French comic series to you.
    In short, it's about a Gallic village that successfully keeps the Roman legions away with the help of their druid's magic potion.
    The character was created in 1959 and the first film was: "Asterix the Gaul" (1967), and to this day there are several animated and live-action adaptations, although the latter do not come close to the drawn ones.
    Very funny, lots of adventures and some, depending on the year of publication, are freely accessible on RUclips.

    The CSU (headed by Söder) is doing anything it can to uphold the new Cannabis law in letter but not in spirit. Bavaria might end up less free than before. But that is to be expected from a state ruled by the same conservative party since its inception.
    Anyways, the video is AI generated (which is scary) but depicts a 100% realistic (aside from the question) looking scenario of German game show where they are presented a viewer question and have to figure out the answer.
    The video roughly went:
    You are Söder and Cannabis has been legalised. What do you do? And the immediate, correct answer was "get blackout drunk with my mates" (the CSU is a bunch of alcoholic hypocrites).

  • @MrOpacor
    @MrOpacor Месяц назад +1

    About the video at the end: The captions are completely wrong. It is a satire on Markus Söder, Ministerpräsident (like a governor) of Bavaria and his stance on "Bubatz" (pot) and gender inclusive language, i.e. writing for example Ärtz*innen to combine the male form (Ärtze) and the female form (Ärztinnen). It is important to know that Söder does not think that alcohol is a drug. The asterisk is called "Gendersternchen" (little gender star).
    The setup is a game show where the panel has to find answers to questions submitted by viewers that usually go into some absurd direction. The name of the show is “genial daneben”, which means something like “off, but in a genius way”. My attempt at a translation would be the following:
    Hugo Egon Blader (the host): "Markus Söder from mountainous Germany asks: 'It is weekend. “Bubatz” and the “Gendersternchen” were banned permanently. How do you and the boys celebrate that now all drugs are illegal?’”
    Bernhard Hoëcker (of the panel): “A delicious beer and an antisocial drunken stupor.”
    Hugo Egon Balder: “Correct answer.”
    I hope that helps. And yes, boys is supposed to be old fashioned. The German expression "Buben" is as well.

      Not sure if that line is supposed to be mean everyone knows it because its stolen, or if that's not still in the line of playing up the success of the song, stating that everyone has already heard it because it's just that successful.
