It’s the new emergency number

No one who speaks German can be an evil man!

Huh? It’s “die Odyssee” in German…

Are they salty?

Ha. Spießer comes directly from Spießbürger, which in medieval times meant a free citizen of a city who had to help in defense and lawkeeping. They were often organised in guilds and used spears (“Spieße”).

So bourgeois is not far off, but doesn’t catch all the nuance…

That is not really the currently used definition anymore. Since the 20th century it means more akin to a square or stiff. Basically another word for ‘Spießer’.

The alt text is incorrect. It should be:

Tatsächlich wurde bei Waterloo der Hauptteil der Knochen zu Aktivkohle für die Zuckerextraktion verarbeitet. Fortschritt und so.

Wenigstens wurden die Knochen nicht direkt gegessen, im Gegensatz zu Mumien.

Horizontal genetransfer can be kind of seen as a precursor to recombination through gametes. mom and dad are not the worst description of the parent generation if there was some sharing of “material” before splitting…

I first read the clue for 1 horizontal as the band name and was like “wait i thought that song was from that different band” 🤔

I think you could broaden your horizons by watching this great comment by a historian on the “design rules” of flags. Most of these rules you are quoting from a CGP grey video are from one book by a guy named Ted Kaye who also made most of them up. There are no sources to any “vexillology experts” contrary to what he claims about in his marketing.

I’m not even starting about the history and value in terms of representation behind those coat of arms. They are some of the only links between the modern federal states and the actual historic states that occupied that territory for much of the middle ages apart from some state names.

I used one of these for my bachelor thesis. The concept sounds a lot cooler than it feels actually using one. Especially after the 30th time.

One of my favourites! But i think its even better without the text.

Ist mir egal.
