Nuclear power for electricity is not only cleaner than using combustion, but it's also way less radioactive than coal power. All of the radiation involved in nuclear power is contained almost completely, whereas burning coal throws out radioactive carbon isotopes into the atmosphere that then blanket massive areas surrounding the plants. Hydroelectric plants seem better, but they pollute and disrupt rivers, making it hard for the various animals to live there. Wind farms require huge areas of empty land to be worthwhile, which is not ideal for Europe.
5:25 depends who you ask, the only real disadvantages of nuclear power are 1. More expensive kWh than renewables (but would only be used as long as renewables cant be 100% of energy mix, so its irrelevant) 2. Nuclear waste management 3. Doesn't fix the problem of being dependent on other nations that are often authoritarian (have to buy the nuclear fuel rods, even if we could dig for our own uranium, its extremely dirty and really bad for the local environment, think most german uranium came from western countries but also russia and china. They'd buy the uranium and then produce the rods in Germany) But really rn, the decision to phase out has been made by the old government, the new government slowed phasing out for a bit but now turned off the last reactors, following the original plan. This means we'll temporarily rely on coal and gas for the baseline of our energy mix and then slowly phase out of that aswell when we have enough renewables. Germany already exports more energy than it imports so relying on the nuclear power plants of for example France will always stay an option. (The energy trade surplus is rising even more) And finally building new nuclear power plants would simply be more expensive and take too much time for it to be worth it as a technology that we want to eventually phase out of anyways (for the before mentioned reasons). The only decision i don't really understand is to not keep the powerplant Isar-2 running for longer since it's still in good shape. I just hope that this whole sentiment against nuclear power doesn't extend to fusion energy, but im optimistic it doesn't since Wendelstein 7-x is doing really well and investments seem good. My own opinion: I would've stayed with nuclear energy for our "Energiewende" (energy revolution) instead of using dirty coal/gas power plants, but that's a decision made by a coalition that was voted in before I was eligible to vote. Atleast the new government is working on getting the electricity produced by wind farms in the north sea to bavaria by finally building the energy-highways that the old government planned but never committed to building.
Käsespätzle (Kässpätzle) is a Swabian (in the state of Baden Württemberg) traditional dish that does resemble mac'n'cheese ingredient wise because Spätzle is a type of swabian pasta and it's mixed with cheese. Swabians love it but it also became quite popular outside of their region. Spätzle is usually served as a side dish to Schnitzel or other saucy meat dishes.
It was "invented" (or suggested) by a few people around the start of the 20th century. But the German Empire was the first (after a seperate Canadian) who actually went throught with it
Please speak for yourself: YOU are over it. I guess I am not the only one who doesn't care whether it is still dark in the morning while I ride public transport - mostly underground. But I miss daylight when I finally get home.
No, we didn't. The initial proposal came from Benjamin Franklin. But Germany, or rather the German Empire, and Austria-Hungary were the first countries to implement it in 1916, not counting a single Canadian city that started 8 years earlier.
Well, "goofy" is an English word too. So that makes it modern then in German. And yes, we do have daylights saving time too in the whole EU even I think. Some people are trying to get it abolished though cause it annoys many.
it's actually kinda abolished already the problem is that they can't agree to what time they should use permanently now the winter or summer time (they want all eu countries to use the same time to avoid complications) and until that is clear the bs continues
I guess the concept of including English words in German sentences in order for the word choice to become modern, must feel strange to English speakers. These "modern" English words might even actually be very oldfashioned ones to English speakers. I feel like this isn't even considered by many people using English words in German. (Btw. in my childhood "Goofy" was a Disney character whose name - along with all the other character's names - was pronounced very German. I think we didn't even know what the name meant.😅)
@@Wildcard71 no. Goofy doesn't come from the Disney character but in it's normally used way of like "oh your so goofy (crazy)" One strong contender was Riz A couple of years ago I believed the word "Darth vadern" won So they made his last name to a verb, just to explain, and it was basically used to discribe someone killing the vibe/being a bad parent I honestly don't know anyone who used it though. These awards are also a big meme show for us so not exactly a representation of what words are used. Some do but yeah
@@KeesBoons No, it's a pun on "forehead", which sounds the same as "fourhead" (not a word). Since she has a really small "fourhead", it's only a "threehead".
@@KeesBoons It fits better than you'd think as "fivehead" based on the same pun is widely used to mean smart or "big brain" (often ironic though), so "threehead" also means stupid
That wipe thing was nice.. 😂 In germany if you wipe your ass for the first time and there is no poop at the toiletpaper we call it "Glücksschiss" it means luckyshit 🎉
There is nothing better in the world for a Swabian than handmade Spätzle (here Käsespätzle = with cheese and onions) and they are NOTHING like mac&cheese
In Minute 10:50: that's Käsespätzle. You already heard about that about a year ago from that person that published 4 travel routes through Germany (North, South, East and West). Käsespätzle is a popular dish in the south German cuisine
Look what happens with Nuclear Powerplants in USA1979, Tschernobyl 1986 and Fukushima 2011 ... and what happens with the old Used stuff you need for the Nuclear Reactions ? ... Also there are contaminained Building-Parts if you one Powerplant down.
it is not about the nuclear power itself, it is about the risk of a meltdown, and for the most the problem with the nuclear waste, and how to storage it for hundred of thousands of years.
Okay, the Pritt-Stift is funny. I remember tossing pencils and geotriangles up until they stay. But a glue stick that can hold itself up there. Not THAT is marketing
The Mac n Cheese thing is called "Käsespätzle" (spaetzle or: spätzle - a specialty from Southern Germany, made by boiling small lumps of dough made from flour and eggs) , and Emmental hard cheese and any type of mountain cheese are used for this. it is a lot better than normal Mac n Cheese
Re Kundendifferenzierungsmodul: In German there are often the words for things that absolutely everyone uses and the words for things used in laws and regulations that only legal professionals know. Another example: Eierpecker/Eierköpfer Vs. Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. (Though I'm not sure if Eierpecker is only commonly used in Austria.)
Weirdly enough those long words are actually pretty easy to understand. "Lebende Einfriedung" is just impossible to understand if you hear it for the first time.
About English words "making no sense" in German: we use many English words and when you hear young people talk (or hear them talk in shows aimed at a young audience), it feels to me like every second word is English, or a mix of English and German. We have a lot of those mix-words, too, like (because I heard it just the other day) "to support" becoming "supporten", which is a mix of the English word + the typical German suffix used for verbs. These mixed words are part of the so-called "Denglis(c)h". Other languages seem to know this phenomenom, too. Words are taken from English and just kind of mixed in with the other language. I understand how that happens (I tend to do this, too), but you can definitely over-do it to the point it just feels extremely cringy (well, to me, at least). Plus, sometimes words are used in a wrong way, or words are used that aren't even "cool" or in any way special for English speakers, but might have been used by older generations as well since forever. Also, the everyday-language seems to become more and more English.
English does that too, to a lesser extend. See e.g. "Angst" (which is just German for fear, but is used as Existenzangst in English) or Blitz (which means lightning, but is used in a way derived from Blitzkrieg) etc.
@@bloody_albatross Yes, that's true, they do that, too, with some words, not only from German. I think that's probably the 'natural course' of languages, they change and also borrow words from other languages. I think we have some foreign words in German that are in use for so long we aren't even really aware anymore they aren't originally German. Still, I find the way modern language includes English words rather extreme (but maybe it's also because many people nowadays do speak English themselves. I notice myself that I often 'forget' German words and can also think of the English one, or the English one seems more useful. That might be one explanation, maybe).
@@stef987 Yeah, personally I find the way some young people talk with every second word being (badly pronounced) English for no good reason kinda cringe. I'm all for importing words where there are no good alternatives in German (or in Austrian dialect), but that anbiedern to English is peinlich.
One of the strengths of English is that the English speaking world is happy to invent new words and borrow from other languages without becoming too defensive about it (the majority of English words, about 75%, are foreign in origin). It just shows you the confidence of English speakers that they are not threatened by it.
@@michaelgoetze2103 I don't know if it's about feeling threatened... I think borrowing words, but also aspects of cultures, can be very enriching. However, a sentence like "Es macht mich so happy, wie die Follower den Stream supporten" doesn't just borrow a few words anymore. It's totally mixing up two languages. If that's how the language evolves, fine. All languages did and still do that. If it's just how the youth speaks, though, with older people often not understanding much, while others find it just cringy (not threatening, but cringy) listening to it... I don't know... For me personally, in my thoughts I often use English words or whole sentences, or mix everything up. When I speak, I try to use German words whenever possible (because I don't want to be as cringy as I find others talking like that).
Most people below the age of probably 30 speak Denglish with each other in an informal setting. Denglish borrows a lot of English words and customizes them to fit German grammar rules. Example "to snack" I snack -> Ich snacke You snack -> Du snackst He/she/it snacks -> Er/sie/es snackt etc. For example when I (28) talk to my brother (23) we task Denglish which borrows so heavily from English that my parents have no idea what we are talking about.
I was totally puzzled by the Youth Word of the Year being goofy. That word seems to have been around for ages here in Germany too. But then again, I am 44 -- what do I know?
@@ursschnatterfleck6019 Oh, ich rede von dem Adjektiv, sonst hätte ich das Wort groß geschrieben. Aber auch das Adjektiv wird m.E. schon seit 10-15 Jahren von jungen Leuten benutzt. Daher scheint mir die Wahl nicht gerade am Puls der Zeit. Aber vielleicht liegt es auch nur daran, dass ich mich sowohl im Medienkonsum als auch im echten Leben viel international bewege und mir das Wort daher lange bekannt ist. Vielleicht unterschätze ich wie weit selbst die Jugend in Deutschland internationalen Trends hinterherhinkt. Wahrscheinlicher allerdings ist, dass dieses ganze Jugendwortgedöns völlig an der Realität vorbei geht.
Susanne Daubner is the main presenter of the "tagesschau" (literally "dayview"), a german news show. She will be leaving in this/next year, so with "next time I'm out", she means she'll not be presenting the next youth word. People are sad she leaves the show so they want to make "Daubner" the next youth word. They can do that because there are many voting stages and in the first one, you can write any word and the top 10 most voted ones go into the next stage.
Oh also about this Wagenknecht party: It's a new party from that woman you'Ve seen in a meme earlier, the one you recommented to be named "really small forehead party". She was a prominent member of Germanies socialist party but over the past few years travelled through every tv show to promot her far right opinions. Now finally she left her party and found a new one, named after herself and she mixes both extrame right and extreme left topics to appeal to both groups. Oh and she's a Putin friend ;)
1. The party has no name right now. But the "club´s name is named after her. "BSW" isn´t the final name. 2. The joke "far right" is good. One of the heads is Amira Mohammed Ali. 3. I think not Putin´s friend, more Germanys friend.
@@EHonda-ds6ve 1: True, it's not the final name, but it is the name of the club and this is what she got into public with. 2: Regardless if there are people with migratory background in her party, her words regarding migration in Germany and her opposition to the state of Israel makes her far right to me. 3: No.
The fact that you would want a processed brand product to be the Mac n Cheese contestant against the Spätzle, already tells you who would win this fight...
5:37 Nuclear power is an exciting way to produce energy, even if you just boil water. Likewise, nuclear power does not emit carbon dioxide when generating energy. However, nuclear power has some problems. The power plants take up a lot of space and need a huge safety zone. If a power plant breaks down, in the negative case we are dealing with a regional Armageddon. The region around the power plant will be contaminated for many, many years, possibly even regions hundreds of kilometers away, depending on the wind. Nuclear power plants also have a waste problem. You can't even just throw out the trash. It is highly dangerous and must be safely stored in extremely expensive and special tunnels for probably millions of years or so. Likewise, nuclear power is dependent on mining. Uranium or other substances sometimes have to be mined in a very dirty way so that they can ultimately be burned into energy. Because of this, there are many people in Germany and Europe who find nuclear power very critical, even though it can generate a lot of cheap energy. And it can be dangerous. The disaster in Chernobyl (Ukraine) also affected parts of Germany. There are repeated warnings not to collect and eat mushrooms in certain parts of Germany because of the radiation exposure that was caused by the accident. However, there is further research that looks at nuclear power and fusion power and wants to make them safer, which still works with radioactive elements, but which have a more pleasant half-life than uranium. For example, the thorium liquid salt reactors. I believe deuterium will be used in fusion reactors that are currently being researched.
But have you heard about shit IN the ceiling? (Yes, you can lift those tiles up. Yes, we put an alarm clock there. Yes, our teacher went wildly searching everywhere. Did the alarm clock go off every ten minutes? Also yes.)
ah käsespezle. mac n cheese is like a hollow imitation of the old tradition that is pumped too full of artificial flavoring and radioactive cheese that cant legally call itself cheese to truly appreciate the flavor. but algäuer käsespezle are simple yet divine if you know how to make them the right way.
About the Video from the beginning: The woman is Susanne Daubner, a famous news speaker for Tagesschau, the most famous TV news She got famous because the last few years she aleays presented the „youthword of the year“. To understand the hype, you need to watch the clip from last year I think. The „YotY“ was cringe and she nailed the explanation.
It is not: "Daylight Savings" ... It is: "Daylight Saving" It is a verb and not a noun. You can't deposit your "light savings" into a bank. Love your work
The Lindner vs Wagenknecht meme is mostly about the text and image. The text says Wagenknecht is a socialist politically (they are both politicians) and the text behind Lindner says he is black and white, because his image is … black and white. That can be translated quite well.
Nuclear power sounds good on paper. Until you realize that in order to keep it safe, you have to spend so much money as a company, it becomes the most expensive source of power. And, what France learned recently, with the ongoing rising temperatures the rivers that are used to cool the nuclear power plants get too hot in the summer. Which led to them shutting down half of their NPPs (together with outages and maintenance) last year. Which then in turn led to France importing German energy from renewables. Now if we were heading towards a generally colder climate, that would be fine. But that's not the case, it will only get hotter and hotter for the forseeable future. Also, NPPs are the worst when it comes to blackouts. It takes days and weeks to get one back online. Renewables like Wind, Solar and Hydro online take a few minutes, fossile power plants a few hours. You can't just turn off and on a NPP. And, well, from a strategic point of view, the current war in Ukraine shows why it's a bad idea to have a highly centralized power network. Russia took the NPPin the Zaporizhzhia region in 2022, which produces roughly 20% of Ukraines energy. To quote Wikipedia: "The destruction of the nearby Kakhovka Dam on 6 June 2023 was reported to have no immediate risk to the plant.[41] Generally five units have been in cold shutdown with one unit kept in hot shutdown, which the IAEA reported was necessary to produce steam for nuclear safety purposes, including the processing of liquid radioactive waste in storage tanks. The IAEA is urging the investigation of whether an external boiler can be installed as an alternative to keeping one unit in hot shutdown.[42][43]" Sources: "IAEA 'strongly encouraging' options to allow cold shutdown of all Zaporizhzhia units".

Retrieved 13 July 2023. www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-173-iaea-director-general-statement-on-situation-in-ukraine Just as the saying goes: Nuclear power is good and safe -until it isn't.
A NPC is a non-player character. The exact word you're using in video games for soulles actors which repeat the same snetences over and over. We usually describe leftoids with this word.
"The youth word of the year is a word that has been selected annually since 2008 by a jury led by Langenscheidt-Verlag, which has been part of Pons (Klett Group) since 2019. The election was canceled in 2019, but since 2020 anyone can vote for the youth word."
"Is that a real word?"---Now it is. It's one of the compound words where you turn a whole descriptive sentence into a word. Those are clunky and rarely used in spoken language, but they have one big advantage: Everyone who reads them automatically understands them. This makes them very useful for regulations and related writing.
Hi, Ryan! The danger of nuclear power is the nuclear waste! And think of the accidents of "Tschernoby" in 1986 and "Fukushima" 2011. That`s it. ........9:47: Yes, it`s a glue stick. The brand is "pritt". We call it a "pritt-stick". .........Maccaroni with cheese and bacon. (Or maybe german "Spätzle" with cheese = "Käsespätzle" + bacon)! But "Maccaroni" would fit better with the designation "Mac `N cheese".
And there were other accidents, too. 3mile Island(US), Sellafield(UK). In regards of CO2 and other pollutants it is good. In regards to risk it is bad. Think about having an accident near you and a whole state is uninhabitable for centuries. An accident might not be probable but it is not impossible as history has told us. And the effects and following costs are so big, that most companies only rely on the states to cover that, because no insurance would be able to. And with the capitalistic only money counts approach of the US and inhuman leadership in Russia, China and other countries, it is only a question of time until the next catastrophe happens.
Point is, atomic power is the most efficient, sustainable and safe source of energy, but it comes with a risk by human error far worse than any other method.
@@octopus8420 And human error can be to build it in a dangerous area without everything thought through (Fukushima). Tschernobyl was mainly human handling error.
"I know absolutely nothing about the Wagenkechtspartei" yes I noticed that the moment you didn't recognize her congrats to the friendly raptor who has some straight thinking going on in his reptile brain
Atomic power: the radioactive waste will emit toxic and deadly radiation for thousands if not millions of years. So where would you safely deposit that stuff so that neither people now nor people in the future who may have lost knowledge of deposit sites will not be harmed?
10:00 this meme is part of a "meme trend" where people take german things or concepts and compare them to foreign things.

We not just DO daylight savings time, we literally invented it 😂
Also, sorry about inventing it… we’re SO over it, too😅
It was "invented" (or suggested) by a few people around the start of the 20th century. But the German Empire was the first (after a seperate Canadian) who actually went throught with it
Please speak for yourself: YOU are over it. I guess I am not the only one who doesn't care whether it is still dark in the morning while I ride public transport - mostly underground. But I miss daylight when I finally get home.
I like them.
No, we didn't. The initial proposal came from Benjamin Franklin.
But Germany, or rather the German Empire, and Austria-Hungary were the first countries to implement it in 1916, not counting a single Canadian city that started 8 years earlier.
It's just so unnecessary. My brain literally needs a whole day to adjust
10:37 this is Käsespätzle
The food is 'Kässpätzle', light egg based noodles witch cheese [überbacken/gebraten].
6:29 It just means "Oh shit", I don't know either why there is a "you" in this saying :D
Well, "goofy" is an English word too. So that makes it modern then in German. And yes, we do have daylights saving time too in the whole EU even I think. Some people are trying to get it abolished though cause it annoys many.
it's actually kinda abolished already the problem is that they can't agree to what time they should use permanently now the winter or summer time (they want all eu countries to use the same time to avoid complications) and until that is clear the bs continues
I guess the concept of including English words in German sentences in order for the word choice to become modern, must feel strange to English speakers. These "modern" English words might even actually be very oldfashioned ones to English speakers. I feel like this isn't even considered by many people using English words in German.
(Btw. in my childhood "Goofy" was a Disney character whose name - along with all the other character's names - was pronounced very German. I think we didn't even know what the name meant.😅)
What is second place? Mickey Mouse?
@@SoneGurkewe don't have winter/summer. Winter is the standard with the sun's highest point at 12, summer time is 1h off
@@Wildcard71 no. Goofy doesn't come from the Disney character but in it's normally used way of like "oh your so goofy (crazy)"
One strong contender was Riz
A couple of years ago I believed the word "Darth vadern" won
So they made his last name to a verb, just to explain, and it was basically used to discribe someone killing the vibe/being a bad parent
I honestly don't know anyone who used it though. These awards are also a big meme show for us so not exactly a representation of what words are used. Some do but yeah
Damn, casually roasting Wagenknecht as a 3-head caught me off guard 😂😂
I always get weirded out by her low hairline, so I bursted out laughing at "3-head" and was glad I wasn't drinking anything at that moment. Epic pun.
I associate a 3-head with a hydra. As that the same thing?
@@KeesBoons No, it's a pun on "forehead", which sounds the same as "fourhead" (not a word). Since she has a really small "fourhead", it's only a "threehead".
@@scelestion OK. I prefer the hydra association, as that fits better with politicians.
@@KeesBoons It fits better than you'd think as "fivehead" based on the same pun is widely used to mean smart or "big brain" (often ironic though), so "threehead" also means stupid
10:36 its called "Käsespätzle" and its like the God, Mac and Cheese worshipes.
6:43 fucking killed me ahahaha
In Germany we use often english words. Nearly every german can talk english...so it is normal to us!
"Ach Du Scheiße" simply means "Oh Shit"
I don't have a problem with nuclear power.
Ach du Scheiße = Oh Shit
That wipe thing was nice.. 😂
In germany if you wipe your ass for the first time and there is no poop at the toiletpaper we call it "Glücksschiss" it means luckyshit 🎉
There is nothing better in the world for a Swabian than handmade Spätzle (here Käsespätzle = with cheese and onions) and they are NOTHING like mac&cheese
Ei kenn only stimm you zoo.
In Minute 10:50: that's Käsespätzle. You already heard about that about a year ago from that person that published 4 travel routes through Germany (North, South, East and West). Käsespätzle is a popular dish in the south German cuisine
Sometimes it would be cool if somebody explained you the context. Probably you can do this with somebody else who speaks german?
Or in a livestream?
"Ach du scheiße" is just "Oh shit".
As a German I can say that never in my life have I used the word 'goofy'
"Ach du scheiße" can be translated with just "oh shit"
"I feel like it was the youth word in 1923 as well" - I'm German and those were my thoughts as well
I think the Germany youth word in 1923 was "knorke", "dufte" or "schick"
Look what happens with Nuclear Powerplants in USA1979, Tschernobyl 1986 and Fukushima 2011 ... and what happens with the old Used stuff you need for the Nuclear Reactions ? ... Also there are contaminained Building-Parts if you one Powerplant down.
It's Käsespätzle. You'll never eat Mac'n Cheese again after having this.
it is not about the nuclear power itself, it is about the risk of a meltdown, and for the most the problem with the nuclear waste, and how to storage it for hundred of thousands of years.
Okay, the Pritt-Stift is funny.
I remember tossing pencils and geotriangles up until they stay. But a glue stick that can hold itself up there. Not THAT is marketing
The Mac n Cheese thing is called "Käsespätzle" (spaetzle or: spätzle - a specialty from Southern Germany, made by boiling small lumps of dough made from flour and eggs) , and Emmental hard cheese and any type of mountain cheese are used for this.
it is a lot better than normal Mac n Cheese
Re Kundendifferenzierungsmodul: In German there are often the words for things that absolutely everyone uses and the words for things used in laws and regulations that only legal professionals know. Another example: Eierpecker/Eierköpfer Vs. Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. (Though I'm not sure if Eierpecker is only commonly used in Austria.)
And than there are words, that don't even used in laws or regulations, but are imagined to sound, if it was so; like your first example.
Weirdly enough those long words are actually pretty easy to understand. "Lebende Einfriedung" is just impossible to understand if you hear it for the first time.
About English words "making no sense" in German: we use many English words and when you hear young people talk (or hear them talk in shows aimed at a young audience), it feels to me like every second word is English, or a mix of English and German. We have a lot of those mix-words, too, like (because I heard it just the other day) "to support" becoming "supporten", which is a mix of the English word + the typical German suffix used for verbs. These mixed words are part of the so-called "Denglis(c)h". Other languages seem to know this phenomenom, too. Words are taken from English and just kind of mixed in with the other language. I understand how that happens (I tend to do this, too), but you can definitely over-do it to the point it just feels extremely cringy (well, to me, at least). Plus, sometimes words are used in a wrong way, or words are used that aren't even "cool" or in any way special for English speakers, but might have been used by older generations as well since forever. Also, the everyday-language seems to become more and more English.
English does that too, to a lesser extend. See e.g. "Angst" (which is just German for fear, but is used as Existenzangst in English) or Blitz (which means lightning, but is used in a way derived from Blitzkrieg) etc.
@@bloody_albatross Yes, that's true, they do that, too, with some words, not only from German. I think that's probably the 'natural course' of languages, they change and also borrow words from other languages. I think we have some foreign words in German that are in use for so long we aren't even really aware anymore they aren't originally German. Still, I find the way modern language includes English words rather extreme (but maybe it's also because many people nowadays do speak English themselves. I notice myself that I often 'forget' German words and can also think of the English one, or the English one seems more useful. That might be one explanation, maybe).
@@stef987 Yeah, personally I find the way some young people talk with every second word being (badly pronounced) English for no good reason kinda cringe. I'm all for importing words where there are no good alternatives in German (or in Austrian dialect), but that anbiedern to English is peinlich.
One of the strengths of English is that the English speaking world is happy to invent new words and borrow from other languages without becoming too defensive about it (the majority of English words, about 75%, are foreign in origin). It just shows you the confidence of English speakers that they are not threatened by it.
@@michaelgoetze2103 I don't know if it's about feeling threatened... I think borrowing words, but also aspects of cultures, can be very enriching. However, a sentence like "Es macht mich so happy, wie die Follower den Stream supporten" doesn't just borrow a few words anymore. It's totally mixing up two languages. If that's how the language evolves, fine. All languages did and still do that. If it's just how the youth speaks, though, with older people often not understanding much, while others find it just cringy (not threatening, but cringy) listening to it... I don't know...
For me personally, in my thoughts I often use English words or whole sentences, or mix everything up. When I speak, I try to use German words whenever possible (because I don't want to be as cringy as I find others talking like that).
Most people below the age of probably 30 speak Denglish with each other in an informal setting. Denglish borrows a lot of English words and customizes them to fit German grammar rules.
Example "to snack"
I snack -> Ich snacke
You snack -> Du snackst
He/she/it snacks -> Er/sie/es snackt
etc.
For example when I (28) talk to my brother (23) we task Denglish which borrows so heavily from English that my parents have no idea what we are talking about.
"Ach du scheisse" is translated more accurately as; "Oh shit"
10:40 das sind Käsespätzle
back then, when i still went to school, there used to stick a triangle ruler by the tip in the ceiling of some class room
"Ach du scheisse" means just "Oh shit"!
Great video again!

I was totally puzzled by the Youth Word of the Year being goofy. That word seems to have been around for ages here in Germany too. But then again, I am 44 -- what do I know?
I'm 45 (since 3 days ago...) and I thought the exact same. Must be some generational thing...😅
Das Wort gibt es hier schon lange. Aber als adjektiv hat es die Jugend wieder ins Spiel gebracht und benutzt es viel.
@@ursschnatterfleck6019 Oh, ich rede von dem Adjektiv, sonst hätte ich das Wort groß geschrieben. Aber auch das Adjektiv wird m.E. schon seit 10-15 Jahren von jungen Leuten benutzt. Daher scheint mir die Wahl nicht gerade am Puls der Zeit. Aber vielleicht liegt es auch nur daran, dass ich mich sowohl im Medienkonsum als auch im echten Leben viel international bewege und mir das Wort daher lange bekannt ist. Vielleicht unterschätze ich wie weit selbst die Jugend in Deutschland internationalen Trends hinterherhinkt. Wahrscheinlicher allerdings ist, dass dieses ganze Jugendwortgedöns völlig an der Realität vorbei geht.
09:02 Oh noooooooo Not again 😱
"Ach du scheiße" should be translated just as "oh shit"
Daubner is the surname of the lady .....😂
Susanne Daubner is the main presenter of the "tagesschau" (literally "dayview"), a german news show. She will be leaving in this/next year, so with "next time I'm out", she means she'll not be presenting the next youth word.
People are sad she leaves the show so they want to make "Daubner" the next youth word.
They can do that because there are many voting stages and in the first one, you can write any word and the top 10 most voted ones go into the next stage.
"Ach du scheiße" basicly translates to "Oh Shit" it would need a "bist" to be an insult
Best Intro yet
Oh also about this Wagenknecht party: It's a new party from that woman you'Ve seen in a meme earlier, the one you recommented to be named "really small forehead party". She was a prominent member of Germanies socialist party but over the past few years travelled through every tv show to promot her far right opinions. Now finally she left her party and found a new one, named after herself and she mixes both extrame right and extreme left topics to appeal to both groups. Oh and she's a Putin friend ;)
1. The party has no name right now. But the "club´s name is named after her. "BSW" isn´t the final name.
2. The joke "far right" is good. One of the heads is Amira Mohammed Ali.
3. I think not Putin´s friend, more Germanys friend.
@@EHonda-ds6ve 1: True, it's not the final name, but it is the name of the club and this is what she got into public with. 2: Regardless if there are people with migratory background in her party, her words regarding migration in Germany and her opposition to the state of Israel makes her far right to me. 3: No.
@@EHonda-ds6vein first hand she is a friend of herself. Then long time nothing and finally Putin. Germany is only the vehicle to get to power.
The fact that you would want a processed brand product to be the Mac n Cheese contestant against the Spätzle, already tells you who would win this fight...
Yes, we do daylight saving and last night was the night of switching back to winter time. And yes, it's about the Solstice.
5:37 Nuclear power is an exciting way to produce energy, even if you just boil water. Likewise, nuclear power does not emit carbon dioxide when generating energy. However, nuclear power has some problems. The power plants take up a lot of space and need a huge safety zone. If a power plant breaks down, in the negative case we are dealing with a regional Armageddon. The region around the power plant will be contaminated for many, many years, possibly even regions hundreds of kilometers away, depending on the wind. Nuclear power plants also have a waste problem. You can't even just throw out the trash. It is highly dangerous and must be safely stored in extremely expensive and special tunnels for probably millions of years or so. Likewise, nuclear power is dependent on mining. Uranium or other substances sometimes have to be mined in a very dirty way so that they can ultimately be burned into energy. Because of this, there are many people in Germany and Europe who find nuclear power very critical, even though it can generate a lot of cheap energy. And it can be dangerous. The disaster in Chernobyl (Ukraine) also affected parts of Germany. There are repeated warnings not to collect and eat mushrooms in certain parts of Germany because of the radiation exposure that was caused by the accident. However, there is further research that looks at nuclear power and fusion power and wants to make them safer, which still works with radioactive elements, but which have a more pleasant half-life than uranium. For example, the thorium liquid salt reactors. I believe deuterium will be used in fusion reactors that are currently being researched.

About the Video from the beginning:
The woman is Susanne Daubner, a famous news speaker for Tagesschau, the most famous TV news
She got famous because the last few years she aleays presented the „youthword of the year“.
To understand the hype, you need to watch the clip from last year I think. The „YotY“ was cringe and she nailed the explanation.
Got famous because of 20+ years of tagesschau...
The last photo was n*zi propaganda against British bombing in WW2 💀
I had to laugh so hard when you said it looked cool
German original to mac'n'cheese: Käsespätzle
It is not: "Daylight Savings" ... It is: "Daylight Saving"
It is a verb and not a noun.
You can't deposit your "light savings" into a bank.
Love your work
4:35 you see Ryan questioning his entire existence.
The Lindner vs Wagenknecht meme is mostly about the text and image. The text says Wagenknecht is a socialist politically (they are both politicians) and the text behind Lindner says he is black and white, because his image is … black and white. That can be translated quite well.
We have summer and Winter time in Europe. Last night the clock was set back an hour.

Sounds better 😅
I take Käsespätzle over your MacNCrap ANY day.

Nuclear power sounds good on paper. Until you realize that in order to keep it safe, you have to spend so much money as a company, it becomes the most expensive source of power. And, what France learned recently, with the ongoing rising temperatures the rivers that are used to cool the nuclear power plants get too hot in the summer. Which led to them shutting down half of their NPPs (together with outages and maintenance) last year. Which then in turn led to France importing German energy from renewables.
Now if we were heading towards a generally colder climate, that would be fine. But that's not the case, it will only get hotter and hotter for the forseeable future.
Also, NPPs are the worst when it comes to blackouts. It takes days and weeks to get one back online. Renewables like Wind, Solar and Hydro online take a few minutes, fossile power plants a few hours. You can't just turn off and on a NPP.
And, well, from a strategic point of view, the current war in Ukraine shows why it's a bad idea to have a highly centralized power network. Russia took the NPPin the Zaporizhzhia region in 2022, which produces roughly 20% of Ukraines energy.
To quote Wikipedia:
"The destruction of the nearby Kakhovka Dam on 6 June 2023 was reported to have no immediate risk to the plant.[41] Generally five units have been in cold shutdown with one unit kept in hot shutdown, which the IAEA reported was necessary to produce steam for nuclear safety purposes, including the processing of liquid radioactive waste in storage tanks. The IAEA is urging the investigation of whether an external boiler can be installed as an alternative to keeping one unit in hot shutdown.[42][43]"

Just as the saying goes: Nuclear power is good and safe -until it isn't.
A NPC is a non-player character. The exact word you're using in video games for soulles actors which repeat the same snetences over and over.
We usually describe leftoids with this word.
cool Intro! :D
"The youth word of the year is a word that has been selected annually since 2008 by a jury led by Langenscheidt-Verlag, which has been part of Pons (Klett Group) since 2019. The election was canceled in 2019, but since 2020 anyone can vote for the youth word."
"Is that a real word?"---Now it is. It's one of the compound words where you turn a whole descriptive sentence into a word. Those are clunky and rarely used in spoken language, but they have one big advantage: Everyone who reads them automatically understands them. This makes them very useful for regulations and related writing.
I head the same reaction with "goofy" XD
Just a casual English word and not even modern
The last one was actually funny because it’s true.
“The Egg is Hard” by Loriot is cult in Germany, definitely watch it! Just like "I just want to sit here"
Hi, Ryan! The danger of nuclear power is the nuclear waste! And think of the accidents of "Tschernoby" in 1986 and "Fukushima" 2011. That`s it. ........9:47: Yes, it`s a glue stick. The brand is "pritt". We call it a "pritt-stick". .........Maccaroni with cheese and bacon. (Or maybe german "Spätzle" with cheese = "Käsespätzle" + bacon)! But "Maccaroni" would fit better with the designation "Mac `N cheese".
And there were other accidents, too. 3mile Island(US), Sellafield(UK). In regards of CO2 and other pollutants it is good. In regards to risk it is bad. Think about having an accident near you and a whole state is uninhabitable for centuries. An accident might not be probable but it is not impossible as history has told us. And the effects and following costs are so big, that most companies only rely on the states to cover that, because no insurance would be able to. And with the capitalistic only money counts approach of the US and inhuman leadership in Russia, China and other countries, it is only a question of time until the next catastrophe happens.
@@reinhard8053 Yes, you`re right!
Point is, atomic power is the most efficient, sustainable and safe source of energy, but it comes with a risk by human error far worse than any other method.
@@octopus8420 And human error can be to build it in a dangerous area without everything thought through (Fukushima). Tschernobyl was mainly human handling error.

Atomic power: the radioactive waste will emit toxic and deadly radiation for thousands if not millions of years. So where would you safely deposit that stuff so that neither people now nor people in the future who may have lost knowledge of deposit sites will not be harmed?
10:00 this meme is part of a "meme trend" where people take german things or concepts and compare them to foreign things. The things just need small similarities to be compared and in some cases the joke is how different they actually are, despite looking similar.
