Kika (Kinderkanal) is a German tv channel for kids. Kindheitshelden = childhood heroes. Santa with sand refers to the Sandmännchen, the toast refers to Bernd das Brot, the mouse to Sendung mit der Maus, and the dandelion to Löwenzahn (all shows that run/ran on Kika)
What you call a sliced loaf of bread doesn’t even qualify as bread in Germany and it only appears in form of a sandwich or a toast over here. No one actually eats it the way you would eat bread here.
Thank you! It is about the bread not the slicing. In Germany we tend to eat bread made from less processed flour (closer to or exactly wholemeal flour) containing oilseeds, seeds, and whole grains. In conclusion german bread is much firmer, denser and stronger in flavour.
@oklaftrahlegne7298 this. Sadly, much of the bread you can get at a bakery isn't that buch better. For a big part of my childhood, we had a bakery with handmade bread nearby (with cheap prices). I can't stand that pale taste of much of the standard bread you can get, but don't have the money to buy it from other (very expensive) self baking bakerys
actually we call that kind of bread toast bread and mostly used for hot sandwiches. for other sandwiches you eat normal/ real bread or rolls (Brötchen)
For the drinking part, I have a German joke: If you drink in the city 5 beers, you are an alcoholic, if you drink 5 beer on the countryside (like farmers land), you are the driver!
the sad thing is.. it's not even a joke anymore but the pure truth... the scary thing is that the people on the countryside have what feels like double the alcohol tolerance like us city people
@@Shi_Zua anymore? Back in the days a lot of people drank a whole lot of alcohol even at work and that happened everywhere and even in big companies, but the cities think more "modern" and so they drink less, but the countryside people still do their thing like back then and also the older generations drank more alcohol overall. An example is that Family Guy joke with peters Dad, Grandpa and so on about their morning routine alcohol
@@supmo68 I got no clue abt Family guy tbh.. I can't refute nor agree to what you said either but can very well imagine. I'm not really knowledgeable of the bigger cities tbh (we barely got the 100k) so I have more info abt the villages
@@Shi_Zua yeah I live in a 50.000 people city, but I know lots of people from more rural regions and also some people from the city so I have a perspective of in between the two and can compare them
It is legal for children to drink alcohol with their parents permission anywhere. It is illegal to sell alcohol to anyone younger than 16... In germany you can drink in public without breaking the law. Acting out wildly while drunk in public is still illegal though.
For your explanation. A 'shower lamp' has the german word 'Duschlampe' which with different permutation/pronounciation becomes an insult by saying 'Du schlampe' -> 'You whore' So much for the Shower meme :) No german will go tell that to their mothers. *flies away*
Being oblivious/unknowledgeable and asking naiv questions is his way of generating traffic for the algorythm. He could also just google some stuff, but then we wouldn't write as much in the comments.
I find that it's more fun this way and somewhat smarter too because one thinks about those things more, over a longer period of time, before eventually getting an answer and connecting the dots.
In some cases even steel reinforced concrete. I have friends who often hit steel when drilling a hole :) Sometimes you get drywall too though - but that’s not super common.
That‘s just partly correct. Most older houses are made out of bricks and yes, also the inner walls are made out of bricks. But many of the newer houses also uses drywall for the inner walls. So you never know until you punch them 😂
Truly, you won't even find toast bread like that in the states. The toast bread here in Austria is more like a styrofoam loaf. I guess Wonder Bread in the states is shaped like that, but it is as soft and squishy as anything of flour and yeast can be. Actually, when you toast many of the breads in the states they have a very nice texture and flavor, but not all, for sure. I'm talking about ones that you can get from a bakery section of a store. Smith's in Nevada used to carry a rustic sun-dried tomato bread that was to die for. ...... Okay, maybe I should qualify that by saying that I haven't had bread in the states in at least 10 years.
@@CabinFever52idk what you're rambling about, that bread to us is low tier on bread not only cuz it's vile and flavourless but also because it's so highly unhealthy to eat. At that point just eat chips instead of that type of bread. Whole grain bread taste soooo much better and is also very healthy for you
@@UnkownWonders , idk what you're talking about. I have never eaten USA Wonder Bread, but you can pretty much poke it in the grocery stores and it will behave like doing the same to the Pillsbury Dough Boy (maybe you aren't familiar with those ads, but he is squishy). But thank you for suggesting that my point of view is "rambling"... Have a nice day.
😂 It's not the fact that it's sliced that makes it American Sandwich-"bread" , it is the fact that it's white, full of sugar, doesn't really have a crust etc... that gives it its name. You probably know alreasy that Germans are very proud about their bread😅. This is not usually considered to be bread but called "Toast".
Actually the distinguishing factor between German toast and American Ssndwich bread is the size of the slices. American Sandwich slices are way bigger.
@@PattisKarriereKartenthis. Also you can’t put toast in a sandwichmaker but you can put sandwich in a toaster. Hubby learned it the hard way, he’s banned from our kitchen since the cheese incident…
@@wolf310ii actually it is. The size has nothing to do. As much as we eat asian food here thats still different than in asia we eat american bread thats not the same as in america. its their food but made for our tastings. thats literally what every country does to food in other lands. make it taste better for the people there
same here in Italy, one thing is "pane" (bread"), another is "toast" (sliced factory made bread). they are different things. You have lunch and dinner with bread on the table, you use toast bread for toasts (usually with ham and cheese, toasted)
Ryan, please google german bread types. I wanna see you reacting to our bread. Then you might understand why we don't call your "bread" bread but sandwich toast.
I actually think he already knows about it, it's a common known fact/culture difference and he just plays dumb. I enjoy his videos but sometimes his reactions don't seem to be real.
Actually its not common knowledge at all. Met so many Americans and Australians who have no idea what bread might be. They only thinl of pumpernickel, but don't get the idea of hundreds kinds of German bread :(
For people who actively learn about Germany (and he has many Videos about Germany) he probably has heard of it before. Of course people don't have to know about it if they know little about Germany, but if you look up the most common differences between Germany and USA for example, you will stumble across this fact. I just wanted to point out that he may already knows about it.
"Apfel Schorle" is a mixture of apple juice and sparkling water. A "Schorle" is the name we have for any drink, that is mixed with sparkling water. Some people like a "Weißwein Schorle" (white wine "Schorle"), but under no circumstances should you drink an "Orangenschorle". That just tastes like spoiled orange juice.
The ich_iel subreddit is filled with "wrong" german words and grammar, because people transliterate english words to german, and sometimes keep the english grammar. the word "Hausis" means "homies" (I've seen it as "Zuhausies" or "Heimies" too), because "home" means "Heim" / "Zuhause" / "Haus" in german. The rest of the text is completely english grammar (so incorrect in german), with the words just translated.
@say_whuat And "Mei-Meis" are "memes", because "me" is "mir / mich / mein" in german. (Also "ich_iel" is the translation of "me_irl" - "in real life" = "im echten Leben")
4:15 The word 'shower' is in german 'Dusche' and 'lamp' is 'Lampe', and in german u's put these words together, so Duschlampe, but if u write 'Du $chl4mpe' it means 'you wh0re'
Judging by what I have already seen from him, he wouldn't qualify as a complete fool. I actually think he would be in the same range as the average European. He definitively wouldn't make it into one of those "Look at them, they are sooo dumb" shows.
It's always funny to see Ryan struggle to translate a word back to English that has been translated literally into German by the ich_iel community. Like homies ares translated to Hausis. Which isn't a real word in German And the second meme was about German kids TV shows (the Sandman, Bernd das Brot, Sendung mit der Maus (show with the mouse) and Löwenzahn)
@@stefanschleidt3789Is this a TV Show in Kika? Anyway, there is probably no German TV show about Weihnachtsmann, Santa Claus or Nikolaus that would be even remotely as well known as "Sandmann" - and there's a lot of Sand in this picture. we're looking here at a reference to a German children TV show that is famous enough to be listed together with "Sendung mit der Maus" and "Löwenzahn" - so, in my opinion that's surely "Unser Sandmännchen"
For those who don’t understand the 2nd meme, KiKa is a tv channel, the Santa image represents a show called „sand Männchen“ The bread image is firstly a bread out of a german store called Rewe, and it represents a show called „Bernd das Brot“ . It always comes at Sendeschluss (meaning at night one episode will keep repeating) The 3rd image is easy, it’s a knowledge show called die Maus. Die Maus often has some little adventures between the episodes including her friend der Elefant. The 4th image is a Löwenzahn, in Germany it’s a show about a dog with white black fur that goes on adventures, I can’t tell everything since I didn’t see it in a long time. (Written by a German)
A lot of people have already commented on the kennedy meme. While there is a doughnut like pastry called Berliner, it is not called that way in Berlin. And since Kennedy's speech was in Berlin, pretty much nobody there would have thought he is thinking he is a pastry. The joke with Hamburg still works nicely though
i think the joke also is that the comment comes from a non-german person, finding it funny, that he would call himself a hamburger then, a food item, not knowing that a berliner is a food item too!
Not only in berlin they are called pfannkuchen In the whole of east germany they are called pfannkuchen too, just like the inventor called them himself because he fried them in a big pan he was from berlin, so as another cook book printed his recipe they called it "Berliner Pfannkuchen" in it which west germany shortened to berliner while berlin & east germany kept pfannkuchen
@@prodbysenyes, and the Hamburger was invented when a Hamburger Steak made from cheap grounded up beef cuts (now called Burger Pattie) was served between two slices of bread so that it can be eaten without any cutlery by the Hamburg habor workers. So the hamburger got his name from the Hamburger Steak it contains.
Walls here in germany are either made of stone or drywall but behind the drywall we mostly have OSB (wooden plates) wich helps to stiff out the building and it makes the walls way more robust to resist angry punches :D
This heavily depends when your house was built and how it was built. We don't have any drywall+OSB in our house. We know a couple that has the upper floor remodeled, after they got kids. They've built it themselves and used drywall and OSB but it's terrible for noise insulation, just like American houses.
@@BlueFlash215 depends how its done in older houses its difficult to get a good noise insulation because the most parts are already constructed and if you just place some walls the sound can still easily travel through the floor or other not noise insulated objects. But if its done correctly it is indeed quiet. ( Sure massive building structure does more for conversation noise canceling )
My house (older) has brick walls. There was a soft wall to divide a room made from OSB and a wooden frame (which I found our later). I tried it with a sledge hammer and didn't get more then a small dent. I needed to saw a hole into it so that I could use more tools to break it down. Took me hours until everything was gone.
I didn't even know that any Housing construction used drywall, if it's not being put in later to maybe split a room or something. I only know homes with solid Brick walls.
2:59 There are many TV channels, for example Dandelion (Löwenzahn) is a children's series that was very cool, Santa Claus with the sand represents another childhood hero the Sandman (der Sandmann), the bread is supposed to represent Bernd the bread (Bernd das Brot) and the mouse shows the mouse from: The show with the mouse (die Sendung mit der Maus).
"it's better to be pissed off then pissed on" 😂 here in Germany we say "besser arm dran, als Bein ab" which literally translates to "better to have the arm connected to oneself, than the leg detached". But "arm dran" also has the double meaning of "being in a bad situation".
Ach das ist doch Jacke wie Hose 😅 lieber arm dran als arm ab ist meiner Meinung richtig.Wobei sich das arm dran auf Armut bezieht lieber kein Geld als kein arm quasi
@@ikarus2379 ist eigentlich nicht egal, das ist ein wortspiel und das verliert jede Bedeutung, damit jeden witz, wenn man die schlüsselwörter austauscht. Deshalb gehen in synchros auch sehr viele wortwitze einfach verloren, weil man es eben nicht einfach übersetzen kann, ist hier fast dasselbe
Our walls are, as you correctly stated, made from bricks. And on the inside of the houses they are „verputzt“ which basically means that we smear loads of plaster on them to get them smooth and even. Punching a wall in a german house is a very bad idea indeed XD
A lot of porous concrete (which I to this day only knew as "Ytong", which apparently is just a brand name for it) as well. Basically spongy concrete bricks. Less than half the density of normal concrete, so even huge bricks are quite easy to move around. If you're Mike Tyson or Eddie Hall, you could probably punch a hole in them as well, steel capped boots might leave a dent, but they are definitly 99% child proof 😅
In my upper floor i have walls from Rigips like the americans. But in ground floor i tried to fix the skirting (fussbodenleiste) with nails and got sparks and the nail flying around. Had to glue it.
I grew up in a house that was build in the early 1930s. The walls were build from1 foot thick sand stone blocks :) This house was never hot in summer and it didn't cool out quickly in winter in case the heating went down. I loved this house.
The good thing about walls being steel and concrete is that when theres a fire, it stays contained to that room or apartment. Since large buildings with multiple stories and tenants are much more common in europe, you dont want the whole thing burning down because 1 person living in the first floor fell asleep with a lit cigarette
Hello, here to answer your questions/provide context 2:06 - You already said it, we have brick walls. Sometimes our inner walls which aren't statically relevant are made out of wood covered in plasterboard 2:56 - Those are oversimplified representations of TV shows we watched as children. The text above specifically mentions KIKA, which stands for "Kinderkanal", a TV station for kids. So there was: - one show about Santa and his talking sack experiencing the christmas time together - one show about a depressed loaf of bread called "Bernd" and his friends - one show called "Sendung mit der Maus" (show with the mouse) which was educational and explained things like "What does a carpenter do" or "How does a door lock work" etc. - and lastly a show called "Loewenzahn" (dandelion) which pictured the life of some dude named Peter Lustig who always happened to come across something interesting and, once again, educational. 4:38 - I'm not 100% sure on that one, maybe the title provides some context. But my best guess is that the translation of shower lamp would be "Duschlampe". Now that's a word we used to trick other kids back in elementary school, since "Du Schl*mpe" (the same word but with a space added) means "you wh*re" 6:40 - 1) It's called Hamburg, not Hamburg. (your second attempt was closer to being correct. You pronounce the a like you'd pronounce the u in "pun", but you pronounce the u like oo in "food") 2) If he was in Hamburg, he would've said "Ich bin ein Hamburger" - I am a Hamburger. You know? Like the food? 8:27 - the german subreddit ich_iel likes translating english memes word for word but in a literal way. Hard to explain. So "homies" gets translated to "Hausis" (home = haus). That's why your translation app wasn't able to understand. It basically says "Ich_iel homies be like: Aw shit, here we go again", referring to them knowing, that you'll giggle over their memes. 9:50 - the alcohol laws are a little more complex. So until you're 14 it's illegal to buy alcohol and to consume it in public. Once you're 14 you still can't buy alcohol, but you're allowed to consume it in public if your parents are with you and allow it. Once you're 16 you can buy "soft" alcohol like beer and wine and consume it on your own and once you're 18 you can buy and drink whatever, whenever and wherever you like 13:07 - well, germany loves it's bread. And what we call bread is far from toast. It's the darker, rounder, healthier kind of bread. So to differentiate, this is american sandwich bread, I guess. (Going full circle to the heart attacks meme) 14:30 - You're "infiltrating" the subreddit by reacting to the content. You're spying on them. Hope this helped. XOXO
I'd say 6:40 isn't the entire truth it's only 50%. The other thing is that in some parts of Germany a "Berliner" is the name of a food (I think it's doughnut in english) that has many different names depending on the region. in bavaria it's called "Krapfen", in Berlin it's called "Pfannkuchen", etc. Hamburg is a city in which the doughnut(?) is called Berliner so no matter whether he said ich bin ein Berliner or ich bin ein Hamburger, both would've been something to eat
Well, then the joke about it being a good thing that he wasn't in Hamburg doesn't make too much sense, does it? I feel like it's about the international audience and everyone recognizing "hamburger" as something you order at McDonalds, while only germans know what a Berliner is. Good point though, I did miss that.
4:38 Maybe it has something to do with Na#i Germany and the light maybe symbolising the hatch that gets opened to dump the "chemicals" into the showers
The legal drinking age in germany is 14 if you drink with the allowance and in accompany of your parents. But you can online drink beer, vine and light alcoholic drinks, so no vodka, for example. If you are sixteen, you can buy and drink light alcoholic drinks on your own, and if you're 18, you can basically do whatever you want.
Actually there's a discussion between a few politicians about the allowance at 14 should be forbidden. I don't think so. I mean I usually don't drink alcohol and I don't think it's a good idea to drink a lot. But I think a little bit of sparkling vine (maybe a half glass) would be ok once, twice or three times a year with parents around, so they're able to help in case of an emergency. In my opinion, it's way more dangerous for the most teenagers to drink alone at 16, because they don't know how much is to much. The others around could probably run away in case of emergency.
The ich bin ein Berliner meme was funny cause a “Berliner” is a German Pastry similar to a doughnut. So it was pretty funny when John F. Kennedy said “All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of this city of West Berlin. Therefore, as a free man, I am proud to be able to say: Ich bin ein Berliner". Which also said I’m a doughnut. I wasn’t alive back then and my father wasn’t neither, he was on the wrong side anyway, but this speech is pretty famous. And the comment was funny cause if he held that speech in Hamburg (the second biggest city in Germany) he would have said “Ich bin ein Hamburger”. If I said something wrong feel free to correct me. I’m a 13 year old girl and still in school so I just explained why and how I know about this.🙂
Fun fact: in Berlin itself that pastry is called an“Pfannkuchen“ (pancake) and in the south it’s also called „Krapfen“ - there are probably more names. From the context it is clear what he meant though and was totally correct German. There are some good videos explaining the misconception that he had said „I’m a jelly filled doughnut“ but that it was correctly understood to mean „I am a person of Berlin“
the joke is, that the person thought, if he was in hamburg, he would have said "ich bin ein hamburger." and that is funny, because a hamburger is a food item. but the actual joke is, that the person did not know that a berliner is a food item too!
Well, the trouble is, over the years there has come up this myth that what Kennedy said was wrong. Or that people understood the wrong thing from it. Which is not true. What he said was correctly phrased and everyone understood perfectly what was meant. It just happens to be that the same word is also used for a pastry similar to a doughnut in parts of Germany.
On the second Meme is the Mouse = die Sendung mit der Maus (The broadcast with the mouse),the american bread = Bernd das Brot (Bernd the bread), Löwenzahn (Dandelion)(A man explaining things in the world) and the santa clause might be the series Weihnacchtsmann und Co. KG (Weihnachtsman and Co. KG).😂
And Berliner is a food in Hamburg it’s like a filled pancake, and in Berlin, it’s named different hamburg actually names hamburger different To avoid confusion in the part, where I live in, you actually called both Berliner and hamburger, and guess who Laughed in being 8 and not knowing what he meant 😂😂 I guess for the people that call both that it would have on pretty funny
The biggest meme for me as a German is you trying to read something German. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just funny AF. Really funny to listen to.
We also have dry walls in Germany, but the are mostly used to change the shade of a room, or to seperate them into two rooms. Normally the walls are made from Brick.
Normally these days they a made out of concrete or, if you really lucky, made out of something called "steel concrete" I don't know of what it's made of but it's basically as strong as steel. Also or doors regularly have a 3 millimeter steel sheet in them. So
@@demonmen7952 alle Beton Bauten beinhalten Stahl soweit ich weiß, auch jene die Fertig zusammen gebaut sind wie zB Plattenbauten. Denn Ohne Stahl, hat das Beton nicht die Festigkeit so ein Gebilde zu halten.
@@demonmen7952 well now you are just talking about all the buildings that have just been build or are being built. which the majority of, arent homes but businesses. and a very small minority of how much else there is still standing and the majority is living in
Yes, newer Buildings are made from concrete as well. Also there are some wodden houses, but thats not common. I once was i a Village near Munich, where all houses were made from wood.
you begin to love our walls when you have - like me - a PA sound system at home with a 15" subwoofer - i can use it at night while the rest of the house is sleeping. THIS is what i love here. Turning up the volume and the bass at night.
Fun fact: The original actor of the german kids TV-show "Löwenzahn" ("dandelion" from the KiKa meme) was also the sound technician responsible for the broadcast of the JFK speech in Berlin from the other meme. His name was Peter Lustig.
4:40 The German word would be "Duschlampe" from "Dusche" meaning shower and "Lampe" meaning lamp. But the words "Du Schlampe" means "you b*tch", so you don't wanna say "Duschlampe", in special to your mum, because it could easy be misunderstood.
The pics in the "Kika"-meme all stand for various iconic kids' programmes in Germany. Santa on the beach is supposed to be a reference to "Sandmännchen" (little Sandman). It's an old kids' programme right before young kids' bedtime and the Sandman comes and delivers a short bedtime story. The bread, I think, is a reference to "Bernd, das Brot" (a show with a very sarcastic loaf of bread ... don't ask 😀).The orange mouse is a reference to "Sendung mit der Maus" (The Show with the Mouse) which has little cartoons of said mouse and a tiny blue elefant and in between short films that usually explain how things are made or what people on certain jobs do and such. The dandelions (in German "Löwenzahn") refer to a show with that title where a guy who lives in a blue construction trailer is confronted with all sorts of problems and goes to find out about things, so the programme always has a topic that runs through the whole episode (like "drinking water" and how it finds its way into your house or "books" and how they are made etc). So when confronted with a problem, this guy goes for a deep dive on the topic and explains stuff in a way that kids can understand. Very educational. 🙂
As a German I genuinely love these reactions of Americans to German stuff it's funny to me and very entertaining! Thanks for this it's amazing keep it up! Love from Germany ❤️
The mouse is "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (The show with the mouse) which is a show for kids. And the Dandelion is "Löwenzahn" (Dandelion, literally: Lion's tooth), another show for kids with a lot of educational value. Regarding the "Ich bin ein Berliner meme": If he were in hamburg he would have said "I am a hamburger". The joke should be self-explaining in this case. For the ich_iel meme: There is a well known subreddit called "me_irl" (me_in_real_life) which can be literally translated to "ich_im_echten_leben". Abbreviated this becomes "ich_iel". That's why a lot of the memes of ich_iel use literal translations of english (which often sounds stupid, but funny in german). So the translation of "ICH_IEL HAUSIES SEIN WIE - OH SCHEISSE HIER GEHEN WIR WIEDER" literally means "ME_IRL HOMIES ARE LIKE - OH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN"
I think you misunderstood the "Ich bin ein Berliner" meme, because in Berlin there is a doughnut-like pastry called Pfannkuchen, which in other parts of the german speaking world, including hamburg, is known as a "Berliner Pfannkuchen" which is shortened to "Berliner". So him saying "Ich bin ein Berliner" in Hamburg would be saying "I am a doughnut." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Pfannkuchen
About the walls: Most "regular" houses in germany have brick walls and we don't really use drywall at all. I'd say it's mostly used in big office buildings or appartment blocks. Or walls that are added later but don't have to hold any mass. So if you punch a wall in germany, you have about a 100% chance to break your hand on exterior walls and about a 70% chance on interior walls
as a German person I feel an obligation to explain the memes.. 3:30 we have the sandman, Bernd the bread (yes, we're THAT German), the mouse from Sendung mit der Maus and Löwenzahn (dandylion) on the kid's TV program "Kika" (kinderkanal, children's channel) 4:43 lamp shower translates to Duschlampe which would sound like "du Schlampe" which translates to "you bitch" 7:20 ich_iel means irl (ich I'm echten Leben) this subreddit has a habit of translating meme formats literally for additional humor 9:08 I think Hausis is supposed to mean Hausmeister as in janitor (meaning the mods) 9:39 in Germany you can drink light alcohol with 16. I hate it, I don't drink alcohol, but that's the way it is. The picture is either apple juice, fake, or irresponsible it's not illegal to drink outside of your house but if people noticed young children drinking they would definitely talk to the parents 10:43 ok that has to be fake. nobody can be that stupid to put China and Australia in Europe and to think that Russia is that small and Poland is that big 12:23 it would also be bad for the climate 13:05 we don't make sandwiches, we schmier das Brot in Germany it would be a sin to call American sandwiches bread. they are sandwich slices, nothing more. I don't like every bread here in Germany but some are quite tasty, whereas sandwich slices taste of little
Maybe I’m taking this a bit too far, but isn’t the lamp shower meme actually a reference to the .. gas showers ? That’s why the german reaction in the picture is so grim. 🤷♀️
Bonus information about the wall meme: The wallpaper on the picture is called "Raufastertapete" (raw fibre wallpaper). It is the most popular German wallpaper, because it can be easily painted over. Paint sticks well to it and you can still see the structure through several layers.
Ich glaube du darfst in Deutschland Wein und Bier in Aufsicht der Eltern schon mit 14 trinken, alleine mit 16 und alle anderen alkoholischen Getränke ab 18.
I live in Germany and the fact you can literally throw a sledgehammer on the wall and the wall doesn’t break says that Germany cares about their people 🇩🇪
German houses outside walls from inside to outside: 1. ~2.5cm(1inch) layer of concrete flat final cover 2. 17.5cm(7inch) layer white brick 3. insulation glaswool 16-18cm(~7inch) 4. Outside brickwall 11,5cm(~4,5inch) German inside walls: 11,5cm(~4,5inch) or 17,5cm(7inch)Brickbuild white, both sides final covered by ~2,5cm(1inch) concrete flattening layer I don't recomm punching it😊
except you're living in a "Dachgeschosswohnung" (attic apartment) in older houses, the space behind the walls sounds/feels empty :D but they still won't break easily, I don't recom punching them either :D
little explanation for the sliced bread confusion. Not every sliced bread is labeled as American Sandwich, mostly there is Butter- or full grain toast written on the packaging. The 'amarican' style is just a bit bigger than the other ones, a bit softer and as I can tell a bit sweeter in taste. That's why it's straight up called 'amarican sandwich' 😅 But we would never call it 'bread' cause that's just toast 😂
2:40 No that is just big toast. Theres hundreds of types of bread everywhere in europe. The americans just think that toast is bread. But its actually the cheapest sort of bread here in germany. (Not kidding)
If you bring something new to the market, you have to name it. Though we have squared, spongy wheat bread (we call it "toast", bc it's supposed to be toasted), the "American Sandwich" is bigger. "Bread" is an umbrella term for a big variety of baked goods. Bread comes in different shapes and, more important, made of different graines (wheat, rhy, spielt,....), even different methods (yeast or sour dough) are possible. So "American Sandwich" is a wheat bread in a certain shape and size.
Once you have eaten a good bread made in Europe you will understand why we resist calling this bread. Every country in Europe has its bread techniques but it is simply good. This in comparison is some cheap industrialised mixture. In the US you do have other bread as well, as fas as I know so even you must recognise that it isn‘t as good as other bread.
3:28 It’s Sandman, Bernd the Bread, The Show whit the Mouse & at last Dandelion (DE: Löwenzahn). All four popular German TV Show for Kids back in the 2000s
The kids with the beers are probably actually drinking apple juice with sparkling water (Apfelschorle) 😂 we don't have 6 y/o children non-chalantly drinking here in Germany haha
German walls are typically brick, in newer houses sometimes concrete, in rarer cases drywall with wooden planks behind it or just wood planks with wall paper... or sometimes just literal stones and plaster. Drywall with flimsy wood framing like in the US is typically only found in commercial/rented office spaces (i.e. when the space is likely to be restructured frequently for a different floor plan).
The Ich_IEL subreddit is probably difficult to translate because there is this unwritten rule - EVERYTHING MUST BE IN GERMAN😂 so they use words that, in a normal converation, would be an english word😂 If you're intrested: I recommend VERY MUCH the Videos from Jules 🤗😂👌🏼
The confusing part about abbreviations like "IEL" is that even in other languages, people tend to use english-derived abbreviations like LOL or AFK Just goes to show that German subreddits are disproportionally more niche than even english ones, since you have to be in on a lot of international jokes.
The American Sandwich (toast) is named this way because of it's size. The normal toast is smaller (the slices of bread itself not the amount of slizes).
I second what stef987 says: what we Germans call "Toast" isn't called "toast" in English. Also, the "American Sandwich" is probably called that by REWE to distinguish it from what we Germans usually call "bread".
There are more differences in the german toast and the American bread we sell in germany. Yes, the size is one of the them but the texture of the bread is different aswell. German toast is supposed to be toasted it doesn't taste good at all eating it un-toasted. American bread ( Weißbrot ) is fine eating it un-toasted but tastes better toasted.
In germany you call a Shower Lamp (Duschlampe) but if you put a space between like this (du Schlampe) it means you b*tch. I love your Videos man keep it up
13:05 that is NOT bread xD and "toast" has nothing to do with sliced or not sliced. a simple definition: if u throw it onto someones head, and a) he got a concussion -> it is BROT=BREAD since it is **hard and heavy*.* b) he just sais "wtf?!" -> it's TOAST(BROT)=[come up with a name that's not bread!!] since it is **fluffy and light*.* BREAD is round(ish) and has a crust that grandma with her third teeth cant bite, while toast is made in a mold and has this ..shape.. and (do you eat it untoasted too? well since it is just "bread" to u, i'd wager yes) can be eaten even by the toothless boomer. P.S. when i am eating toastbrot, i mostly eat it as is, untoasted. i like the soft texture with soft and delicate things, like philadelphia. i think the superior bread for toasting is BROT, with olive oil salt and pepper :3 so rich in flavour
3:00 Santa in Sand = Sandman (Sandmann) he was a character in a show for kids. It was the last show on the TV channel “Kika” Second is probably Bernd the bread = Bernd das Brot He was the “screensaver” on Kika at night. The mouse was the mascot of the channel and was called the “Kikaninchen”. And the dandelions stand for the show “Löwenzahn” (the translation is dandelion btw) and was produced for learning purposes. (About how daily things work) Hope this helps 😊
Maybe this needs to be explained: the reason why translating stuff from German subreddits, especially ich_irl doesn’t work so well is, that it has become a meme to eliminate all anglicisms in the German language they use, by radically replacing them with the direct translations of those words, even if the result is meaningless/doesn’t translate or grammatically wrong. So for example: in Germany we don’t have a direct translation for the word homies. It is a exclusively English slang term. Ich_irl will take the part of the word that is translatable m "home" and simply translate it into German "Haus" (wich isn’t even totally correct it should be "Zuhause" but it doesn’t really matter now. Then they will imitate the way the slang worked by adding "is" wich is a way of making a word sound cute like "ies". Is this dumb? Probably, but I can tell you from the get go that not doing it will only lead to your mother being insulted very frequently.
Yes, they will do a comment chain of "Sprich deutsch du Hurensohn", or later, because in 2023 r/place people got to know the term "Hurensohn", they will replace it with older german words like "Sprich deutsch du Sohn einer Dirne" or "Sprich deutsch du Dirnenspross"
1:00 - I think that applies to a lot of houses across Europe, not just Germany. I can guarantee every wall in my house will do the exact same toy our hand.... though I can't speak for new builds. The older walls you have zero chance of winning against lol.
2:57 First a Series is about a santa that gets often in Trouble.The bread I think is based on german school lunches,the second is a series about a mouse that explains random stuff with a blue tiny elephant and the last one is Löwenstein and there was a dog with a Man that explaied some stuff too.
When I am speaking English, I usually use the English names of the cities that have one. And I would say, that for Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen (probably amongst others) the English name only differs at pronounciation. In German, we do it similar with London or Paris. In normal everyday conversation, most people will speak the "O"s in London the German way and actually speak the "S" in Paris. I think, there is a shift in using the original names of places, it is less common to call Aachen Aix-La-Chapelle at least in English and at least the English Wikipedia article of Lüneburg is called so nowadays. But I wouldn't say it is wrong to say Hamburg with the English pronounciation, as long as the conversation is English.
@@gaedingar9791 Ja ja I was just trying to compliment Ryan‘s pronunciation because he was trying to say it in German. And giving the hint that that’s how you say the a in German. Always. For example in hallo. 😊
You should keep something in mind. Whenever you say something about a language, like how a letter is pronounced, or how a grammatical rule works, or something like that, try to avoid making statements with "every" or "always" or "never" or stuff like that. Because, there usually exceptions. That goes for pretty much everything in every language. and even if not, doesn't hurt to be safe, does it?.
(second meme) As a german i too needed a while to figure it out. The pictures are intentionally weirdly chosen. It's all shows from the childrens channel. Top left is the sandman, a very old show that many kids watch before bedtime. Top right, the channel is not active at night, but there are a few episodes of "Bernd das Brot" (Bernd the bread) looping during the night. Bottom left is the Sendung mit der Maus (show with the mice). An educational childrens programm runing since before the berlin wall fell and still geting a new episode every sunday. Bottom right is Löwenzahn, a mix of educational and detective show. Everyone in Germany knows these shows since they run longer then many can think. These shows are running on publicly funded channels, therefore only care about entertaining and educating children and running completely ad free.
The walls in Latvia are usually made out of bricks, stones or concrete, depending on how old the house is. The newer ones often have these "paper" walls, but I wouldn't recommend throwing a tantrum with the fist onto a wall. 😂
I live in an old house (1891). It's half timbered (wooden frame with bricks between the wood and a plastered fassade). Most inner walls are made of bricks and have drywall attached to even them out
@Ryan Wass Hausis is the literal translation of homies to german ( Home ment as house ) so its like : ICH_IEL Homies be like , " Shit here we go again " Together with the second layer of the meme, the picture of Al Bundys after hours ritual for relaxing. The couch and one hand in the trousers. The meaning of the meme is like they appreciate your content and find it helping to relax after a hard day of work. And i couldn´t agree more. Here take a thumbs up.
You actually read some sense into it. So it does not have anything to do with that particular thumbnail? I was wondering why that content in particular would be so enticing, but if they just meant Ryan in general, then I understand it now.
3:21 It's about famous shows on a TV Channel called "Kika" The mouse is "Sendung mit der Maus" it's like how is ... made. I think that the dandelion is for "Benjamin Blümchen". Never watched it though.
2:15 BERND DAS BROT!!!! (Bernd the bread, and there’s a character that’s a mouse and her name is Maus-mouse basically-a dog named dandelion-Löwenzahn-)
The walls of our "one-family home" (so just a typical house) are made of solid reinforced concrete (so concrete with steel rods and grids inside them). In the basement, only the outer walls are made that way, all walls that make up the rooms are Ytong, which is basically concrete bricks with tiny air filled pores (it's a brand name). Now, only the inside of the roof uses actual dry wall, so we do use that here, too. I think both drywall and concrete are solid (lol) options. Concrete houses won't fly away in tornados, only the roofs will. You can hang stuff on the walls basically anywhere, granted not where conduits and pipes are (hard to check, need a device for that, since there are no studs you can feel), and those pictures or whatever will most likely never come loose ever again. And you cannot punch holes in the wall, that's also great. However, you'll have a really hard time retrofitting a house with any cables or pipes, it's a pain in the ass (you need a special router to create channels in the top layer of the wall). This is why I often wish we had dry walls... Which would be cheaper, too, I guess...
3:16 The santa means the series Weihnachtsmann & CoKG (I think), the bread means Bernd das Brot (sone love it, some got tr4uma 😂) (translates to Bernd the bread), the mouse means Die Sendung mit der Maus (the broadcast with the mouse, it's for education) and the dandelion means Löwenzahn (basically translates to dandelion, also education) These are iconic TV shows for german kids
The first one got me already - german walls sometimes are made of drywall, too - BUT they're only to separate rooms, main walls are made of brick and concrete. For example - the only wall in my mom's apartment made of drywall is between both bedrooms, the rest is brick/concrete - brick and concrete is better in case of a fire, it contains the fire to this one room. There had been a kitchen fire a few houses down and the kitchen in this apartment burnt out completely, even the balcony was fine, it's been blackened by the smoke but otherwise not damaged. 9:30 - in every soccer stadium you see this, the cups are used for every drink - even juice or lemonade. "Apfelschorle" - a mix of apple juice and carbonated water - looks exactly like beer just wthout the foam.
The picture with the map of Europe was funny, because it also said Hawaii and Australia on it. There was a bit of nonsense about the fact that Americans are said to be not so good at geography about Europe.😉
It depends, most modern houses have outer walls made of concrete and inner walls made of drywall, only load bearing walls are made of concrete as well. Older houses buildt between around 1960 to 2000 are mostly made of brick, most of the rebuildt pre WW2 houses are even made of sandstone. The nicest buildings imo are the iconic half timbered houses from the 14th to 16th century which you can find in many german historic towns/districts.
that "gscha!" got me real good there. The brand is translated to "yes!" (since it's a pretty cheap one in supermarkets here, it's advertised as "yes, we take that!" kind of stuff
You can buy toast in every supermarket in Germany. They most of the time also sell toast with bigger diameter slices under the name "American Sandwich". I guess thats because German toast generally has smaler slices and the American Sandwich is just toast like you would find in an American grocery store. Anyway i find it kinda cute that you call toast "sliced bread". As a German i can confirm that we dont recognize toast as bread.
the joke is, that the person thought, if he was in hamburg, he would have said "ich bin ein hamburger." and that is funny, because a hamburger is a food item. but the actual joke is, that the person did not know that a berliner is a food item too!
3:41 first one I don’t know, second one is “Bernd das Brot”, third is “Sendung mit der Maus”, and third one is “Löwenzahn”, which were all shows ~2000s
What's very common in the subreddit ich_iel is that they translate english phrases word-by-word and even try to create new words by translating it in seperste parts. So the first line of the meme you're in says "ich_iel homies be like" with the "home" and "ies" part translated seperately to "Haus" and "is" creating the word "Hausis" for "homies". Same goes for "be" and "seien" as well as "like" and "wie". The second sentence is just the usual "ah sh** here we go again" phrase translated word-by-word creating a grammatically painful thing to read.
Hey Ryan, about the meme with the Kindheitshelden starting at 02:15 they refer to the following shows in germany 1. "Sandmann" 2. "Bernd das Brot" 3. " Die Sendung mit der Maus" 4. "Löwenzahn" with Peter Lustig
![American reacts to the Funniest German Videos OF ALL TIME [2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/AlcPmp_60r4/mqdefault.jpg)
Kika (Kinderkanal) is a German tv channel for kids. Kindheitshelden = childhood heroes.
Santa with sand refers to the Sandmännchen, the toast refers to Bernd das Brot, the mouse to Sendung mit der Maus, and the dandelion to Löwenzahn (all shows that run/ran on Kika)

What you call a sliced loaf of bread doesn’t even qualify as bread in Germany and it only appears in form of a sandwich or a toast over here. No one actually eats it the way you would eat bread here.
It doesn't seem to register with him that the problem isn't the bread being sliced but the bread itself being cardboard :D
Thank you! It is about the bread not the slicing. In Germany we tend to eat bread made from less processed flour (closer to or exactly wholemeal flour) containing oilseeds, seeds, and whole grains. In conclusion german bread is much firmer, denser and stronger in flavour.
@oklaftrahlegne7298 this. Sadly, much of the bread you can get at a bakery isn't that buch better. For a big part of my childhood, we had a bakery with handmade bread nearby (with cheap prices). I can't stand that pale taste of much of the standard bread you can get, but don't have the money to buy it from other (very expensive) self baking bakerys
actually we call that kind of bread toast bread and mostly used for hot sandwiches. for other sandwiches you eat normal/ real bread or rolls (Brötchen)
it's a show called "Bernd das brot" here in germany

For the drinking part, I have a German joke: If you drink in the city 5 beers, you are an alcoholic, if you drink 5 beer on the countryside (like farmers land), you are the driver!
the sad thing is.. it's not even a joke anymore but the pure truth... the scary thing is that the people on the countryside have what feels like double the alcohol tolerance like us city people
@@Shi_Zua anymore? Back in the days a lot of people drank a whole lot of alcohol even at work and that happened everywhere and even in big companies, but the cities think more "modern" and so they drink less, but the countryside people still do their thing like back then and also the older generations drank more alcohol overall. An example is that Family Guy joke with peters Dad, Grandpa and so on about their morning routine alcohol
@@supmo68 I got no clue abt Family guy tbh.. I can't refute nor agree to what you said either but can very well imagine. I'm not really knowledgeable of the bigger cities tbh (we barely got the 100k) so I have more info abt the villages
@@Shi_Zua yeah I live in a 50.000 people city, but I know lots of people from more rural regions and also some people from the city so I have a perspective of in between the two and can compare them
It is legal for children to drink alcohol with their parents permission anywhere. It is illegal to sell alcohol to anyone younger than 16... In germany you can drink in public without breaking the law. Acting out wildly while drunk in public is still illegal though.
For your explanation. A 'shower lamp' has the german word 'Duschlampe' which with different permutation/pronounciation becomes an insult by saying 'Du schlampe' -> 'You whore'
So much for the Shower meme :) No german will go tell that to their mothers. *flies away*
I thought it was a reference to the dangers of taking a shower in German ruled areas 80 years ago.

walls here are made out of brickstone or concrete
Famously idolized by ZZ Top in their hit "Concrete and Steel"
In some cases even steel reinforced concrete. I have friends who often hit steel when drilling a hole :)
Sometimes you get drywall too though - but that’s not super common.
That‘s just partly correct. Most older houses are made out of bricks and yes, also the inner walls are made out of bricks. But many of the newer houses also uses drywall for the inner walls. So you never know until you punch them 😂
indeed, and on those solid brick walls there is usually a thin layer of some sort of chalk-mix applied to make them smooth so they can be painted.
do you mean brickstone like watery water?
From the age of 14, you can drink alcohol up to 15% at home and with permission of your Parents. From the age of 16 you can also drink outside etc.
But out side is you can only drink beer and wine until you turn 18.
We can't call American sandwitch "bread", our bread is something sacred to us Germans😂
Truly, you won't even find toast bread like that in the states. The toast bread here in Austria is more like a styrofoam loaf. I guess Wonder Bread in the states is shaped like that, but it is as soft and squishy as anything of flour and yeast can be. Actually, when you toast many of the breads in the states they have a very nice texture and flavor, but not all, for sure. I'm talking about ones that you can get from a bakery section of a store. Smith's in Nevada used to carry a rustic sun-dried tomato bread that was to die for. ...... Okay, maybe I should qualify that by saying that I haven't had bread in the states in at least 10 years.
We have like 3 milion types of bred over here and some like the Brezel you can't even get everywhere
Weißbrot
@@CabinFever52idk what you're rambling about, that bread to us is low tier on bread not only cuz it's vile and flavourless but also because it's so highly unhealthy to eat. At that point just eat chips instead of that type of bread. Whole grain bread taste soooo much better and is also very healthy for you
@@UnkownWonders , idk what you're talking about. I have never eaten USA Wonder Bread, but you can pretty much poke it in the grocery stores and it will behave like doing the same to the Pillsbury Dough Boy (maybe you aren't familiar with those ads, but he is squishy). But thank you for suggesting that my point of view is "rambling"... Have a nice day.
😂 It's not the fact that it's sliced that makes it American Sandwich-"bread" , it is the fact that it's white, full of sugar, doesn't really have a crust etc... that gives it its name. You probably know alreasy that Germans are very proud about their bread😅. This is not usually considered to be bread but called "Toast".
No, its simply the size, it doesnt use the american ingridients, nor these amounts of sugar.
Actually the distinguishing factor between German toast and American Ssndwich bread is the size of the slices. American Sandwich slices are way bigger.
@@PattisKarriereKartenthis. Also you can’t put toast in a sandwichmaker but you can put sandwich in a toaster. Hubby learned it the hard way, he’s banned from our kitchen since the cheese incident…
@@wolf310ii actually it is. The size has nothing to do.
As much as we eat asian food here thats still different than in asia we eat american bread thats not the same as in america.
its their food but made for our tastings.
thats literally what every country does to food in other lands. make it taste better for the people there
same here in Italy, one thing is "pane" (bread"), another is "toast" (sliced factory made bread). they are different things. You have lunch and dinner with bread on the table, you use toast bread for toasts (usually with ham and cheese, toasted)
Ryan, please google german bread types. I wanna see you reacting to our bread. Then you might understand why we don't call your "bread" bread but sandwich toast.
I actually think he already knows about it, it's a common known fact/culture difference and he just plays dumb.
I enjoy his videos but sometimes his reactions don't seem to be real.
Or american card board.
gute idee
Actually its not common knowledge at all. Met so many Americans and Australians who have no idea what bread might be. They only thinl of pumpernickel, but don't get the idea of hundreds kinds of German bread :(
For people who actively learn about Germany (and he has many Videos about Germany) he probably has heard of it before. Of course people don't have to know about it if they know little about Germany, but if you look up the most common differences between Germany and USA for example, you will stumble across this fact. I just wanted to point out that he may already knows about it.

The ich_iel subreddit is filled with "wrong" german words and grammar, because people transliterate english words to german, and sometimes keep the english grammar.
the word "Hausis" means "homies" (I've seen it as "Zuhausies" or "Heimies" too), because "home" means "Heim" / "Zuhause" / "Haus" in german. The rest of the text is completely english grammar (so incorrect in german), with the words just translated.

It's always funny to see Ryan struggle to translate a word back to English that has been translated literally into German by the ich_iel community. Like homies ares translated to Hausis. Which isn't a real word in German
And the second meme was about German kids TV shows (the Sandman, Bernd das Brot, Sendung mit der Maus (show with the mouse) and Löwenzahn)
hmmm ... on the first picture i thought it could be also "Weihnachtsmann und Co KG"
But Hausis is a short form for homework in german tho
@@stefanschleidt3789Is this a TV Show in Kika? Anyway, there is probably no German TV show about Weihnachtsmann, Santa Claus or Nikolaus that would be even remotely as well known as "Sandmann" - and there's a lot of Sand in this picture. we're looking here at a reference to a German children TV show that is famous enough to be listed together with "Sendung mit der Maus" and "Löwenzahn" - so, in my opinion that's surely "Unser Sandmännchen"
If you call them "Heimies", it will remind of _Mini-Max._
@@tobyk.4911I assumed it was Beutolomäus, that’s the only kika show with a Santa I know
For those who don’t understand the 2nd meme, KiKa is a tv channel, the Santa image represents a show called „sand Männchen“
The bread image is firstly a bread out of a german store called Rewe, and it represents a show called „Bernd das Brot“ . It always comes at Sendeschluss (meaning at night one episode will keep repeating)
The 3rd image is easy, it’s a knowledge show called die Maus.
Die Maus often has some little adventures between the episodes including her friend der Elefant.
The 4th image is a Löwenzahn, in Germany it’s a show about a dog with white black fur that goes on adventures, I can’t tell everything since I didn’t see it in a long time.

A lot of people have already commented on the kennedy meme. While there is a doughnut like pastry called Berliner, it is not called that way in Berlin. And since Kennedy's speech was in Berlin, pretty much nobody there would have thought he is thinking he is a pastry. The joke with Hamburg still works nicely though
Ach so. Ich dachte weil er dann ein Hamburger wäre
i think the joke also is that the comment comes from a non-german person, finding it funny, that he would call himself a hamburger then, a food item, not knowing that a berliner is a food item too!
Not only in berlin they are called pfannkuchen
In the whole of east germany they are called pfannkuchen too, just like the inventor called them himself because he fried them in a big pan
he was from berlin, so as another cook book printed his recipe they called it "Berliner Pfannkuchen" in it
which west germany shortened to berliner
while berlin & east germany kept pfannkuchen
@@prodbysenyes, and the Hamburger was invented when a Hamburger Steak made from cheap grounded up beef cuts (now called Burger Pattie) was served between two slices of bread so that it can be eaten without any cutlery by the Hamburg habor workers.

Walls here in germany are either made of stone or drywall but behind the drywall we mostly have OSB (wooden plates) wich helps to stiff out the building and it makes the walls way more robust to resist angry punches :D
This heavily depends when your house was built and how it was built.
We don't have any drywall+OSB in our house. We know a couple that has the upper floor remodeled, after they got kids. They've built it themselves and used drywall and OSB but it's terrible for noise insulation, just like American houses.
@@BlueFlash215 depends how its done in older houses its difficult to get a good noise insulation because the most parts are already constructed and if you just place some walls the sound can still easily travel through the floor or other not noise insulated objects. But if its done correctly it is indeed quiet. ( Sure massive building structure does more for conversation noise canceling )
My house (older) has brick walls. There was a soft wall to divide a room made from OSB and a wooden frame (which I found our later). I tried it with a sledge hammer and didn't get more then a small dent. I needed to saw a hole into it so that I could use more tools to break it down. Took me hours until everything was gone.
I didn't even know that any Housing construction used drywall, if it's not being put in later to maybe split a room or something. I only know homes with solid Brick walls.
@@itskyansaro My old appartment had one drywall. But that was only a sound barrier in front of the hard wall of the neighbouring appartement.

Our walls are, as you correctly stated, made from bricks. And on the inside of the houses they are „verputzt“ which basically means that we smear loads of plaster on them to get them smooth and even. Punching a wall in a german house is a very bad idea indeed XD
Plus behind the "Putz" there is often a wooden board about half an inch thick.
a lot of buildings are build with concrete too
Some Walls are Made of concret ans some are just hollow (still hurts)
A lot of porous concrete (which I to this day only knew as "Ytong", which apparently is just a brand name for it) as well. Basically spongy concrete bricks. Less than half the density of normal concrete, so even huge bricks are quite easy to move around. If you're Mike Tyson or Eddie Hall, you could probably punch a hole in them as well, steel capped boots might leave a dent, but they are definitly 99% child proof 😅
In my upper floor i have walls from Rigips like the americans. But in ground floor i tried to fix the skirting (fussbodenleiste) with nails and got sparks and the nail flying around. Had to glue it.
I grew up in a house that was build in the early 1930s. The walls were build from1 foot thick sand stone blocks :) This house was never hot in summer and it didn't cool out quickly in winter in case the heating went down. I loved this house.
The good thing about walls being steel and concrete is that when theres a fire, it stays contained to that room or apartment. Since large buildings with multiple stories and tenants are much more common in europe, you dont want the whole thing burning down because 1 person living in the first floor fell asleep with a lit cigarette
Hello, here to answer your questions/provide context
2:06 - You already said it, we have brick walls. Sometimes our inner walls which aren't statically relevant are made out of wood covered in plasterboard
2:56 - Those are oversimplified representations of TV shows we watched as children. The text above specifically mentions KIKA, which stands for "Kinderkanal", a TV station for kids.
So there was:
- one show about Santa and his talking sack experiencing the christmas time together
- one show about a depressed loaf of bread called "Bernd" and his friends
- one show called "Sendung mit der Maus" (show with the mouse) which was educational and explained things like "What does a carpenter do" or "How does a door lock work" etc.
- and lastly a show called "Loewenzahn" (dandelion) which pictured the life of some dude named Peter Lustig who always happened to come across something interesting and, once again, educational.
4:38 - I'm not 100% sure on that one, maybe the title provides some context. But my best guess is that the translation of shower lamp would be "Duschlampe". Now that's a word we used to trick other kids back in elementary school, since "Du Schl*mpe" (the same word but with a space added) means "you wh*re"
6:40 - 1) It's called Hamburg, not Hamburg. (your second attempt was closer to being correct. You pronounce the a like you'd pronounce the u in "pun", but you pronounce the u like oo in "food")
2) If he was in Hamburg, he would've said "Ich bin ein Hamburger" - I am a Hamburger. You know? Like the food?
8:27 - the german subreddit ich_iel likes translating english memes word for word but in a literal way. Hard to explain. So "homies" gets translated to "Hausis" (home = haus). That's why your translation app wasn't able to understand. It basically says "Ich_iel homies be like: Aw shit, here we go again", referring to them knowing, that you'll giggle over their memes.
9:50 - the alcohol laws are a little more complex. So until you're 14 it's illegal to buy alcohol and to consume it in public. Once you're 14 you still can't buy alcohol, but you're allowed to consume it in public if your parents are with you and allow it. Once you're 16 you can buy "soft" alcohol like beer and wine and consume it on your own and once you're 18 you can buy and drink whatever, whenever and wherever you like
13:07 - well, germany loves it's bread. And what we call bread is far from toast. It's the darker, rounder, healthier kind of bread. So to differentiate, this is american sandwich bread, I guess. (Going full circle to the heart attacks meme)
14:30 - You're "infiltrating" the subreddit by reacting to the content. You're spying on them.
Hope this helped. XOXO
I'd say 6:40 isn't the entire truth it's only 50%. The other thing is that in some parts of Germany a "Berliner" is the name of a food (I think it's doughnut in english) that has many different names depending on the region. in bavaria it's called "Krapfen", in Berlin it's called "Pfannkuchen", etc. Hamburg is a city in which the doughnut(?) is called Berliner so no matter whether he said ich bin ein Berliner or ich bin ein Hamburger, both would've been something to eat
Well, then the joke about it being a good thing that he wasn't in Hamburg doesn't make too much sense, does it? I feel like it's about the international audience and everyone recognizing "hamburger" as something you order at McDonalds, while only germans know what a Berliner is. Good point though, I did miss that.
4:38 Maybe it has something to do with Na#i Germany and the light maybe symbolising the hatch that gets opened to dump the "chemicals" into the showers
13:07 you have different sizes of sandwich bread. American is much bigger. I think that the joke is really American Sandwich are made in Germany.
I think "Schlampe" is actually "slut" in english whereas "whore" would translate to "Hure" in german
Anyways thank you for explaining it to him
The legal drinking age in germany is 14 if you drink with the allowance and in accompany of your parents. But you can online drink beer, vine and light alcoholic drinks, so no vodka, for example. If you are sixteen, you can buy and drink light alcoholic drinks on your own, and if you're 18, you can basically do whatever you want.
maybe change online to only ;)
Actually there's a discussion between a few politicians about the allowance at 14 should be forbidden. I don't think so.
I mean I usually don't drink alcohol and I don't think it's a good idea to drink a lot.
But I think a little bit of sparkling vine (maybe a half glass) would be ok once, twice or three times a year with parents around, so they're able to help in case of an emergency.
In my opinion, it's way more dangerous for the most teenagers to drink alone at 16, because they don't know how much is to much. The others around could probably run away in case of emergency.

@@irgendeinemichi drinkers culture?
@AnnieUnicorn1994 yes drinkers culture fits it pretty well and we're so damn proud of it
The ich bin ein Berliner meme was funny cause a “Berliner” is a German Pastry similar to a doughnut. So it was pretty funny when John F. Kennedy said “All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of this city of West Berlin. Therefore, as a free man, I am proud to be able to say: Ich bin ein Berliner". Which also said I’m a doughnut. I wasn’t alive back then and my father wasn’t neither, he was on the wrong side anyway, but this speech is pretty famous. And the comment was funny cause if he held that speech in Hamburg (the second biggest city in Germany) he would have said “Ich bin ein Hamburger”.
If I said something wrong feel free to correct me. I’m a 13 year old girl and still in school so I just explained why and how I know about this.🙂
Fun fact: in Berlin itself that pastry is called an“Pfannkuchen“ (pancake) and in the south it’s also called „Krapfen“ - there are probably more names.
From the context it is clear what he meant though and was totally correct German. There are some good videos explaining the misconception that he had said „I’m a jelly filled doughnut“ but that it was correctly understood to mean „I am a person of Berlin“
@@pascalnitsche8746Agree I just wanted to write basically the same.
As a non German, who 'witnessed' (via TV) the quote, your comment is pretty much how many Brits understood it at the time.
the joke is, that the person thought, if he was in hamburg, he would have said "ich bin ein hamburger." and that is funny, because a hamburger is a food item. but the actual joke is, that the person did not know that a berliner is a food item too!
Well, the trouble is, over the years there has come up this myth that what Kennedy said was wrong. Or that people understood the wrong thing from it. Which is not true. What he said was correctly phrased and everyone understood perfectly what was meant. It just happens to be that the same word is also used for a pastry similar to a doughnut in parts of Germany.
On the second Meme is the Mouse = die Sendung mit der Maus (The broadcast with the mouse),the american bread = Bernd das Brot (Bernd the bread), Löwenzahn (Dandelion)(A man explaining things in the world) and the santa clause might be the series Weihnacchtsmann und Co. KG (Weihnachtsman and Co. KG).😂
7:07
If he was in Hamburg, we would have called himself a Hamburger.
🤓
And Berliner is a food in Hamburg it’s like a filled pancake, and in Berlin, it’s named different hamburg actually names hamburger different To avoid confusion in the part, where I live in, you actually called both Berliner and hamburger, and guess who Laughed in being 8 and not knowing what he meant 😂😂 I guess for the people that call both that it would have on pretty funny
@@mondschattenputz158 A hamburger is also called a Hamburger in Hamburg and is not to be confused with a Hamburger Rundstück.
The biggest meme for me as a German is you trying to read something German. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just funny AF. Really funny to listen to.
We also have dry walls in Germany, but the are mostly used to change the shade of a room, or to seperate them into two rooms. Normally the walls are made from Brick.
or if your walls are so shit you gotta cover up
Normally these days they a made out of concrete or, if you really lucky, made out of something called "steel concrete" I don't know of what it's made of but it's basically as strong as steel. Also or doors regularly have a 3 millimeter steel sheet in them. So
@@demonmen7952 alle Beton Bauten beinhalten Stahl soweit ich weiß, auch jene die Fertig zusammen gebaut sind wie zB Plattenbauten. Denn Ohne Stahl, hat das Beton nicht die Festigkeit so ein Gebilde zu halten.
@@demonmen7952 well now you are just talking about all the buildings that have just been build or are being built. which the majority of, arent homes but businesses. and a very small minority of how much else there is still standing and the majority is living in
Yes, newer Buildings are made from concrete as well. Also there are some wodden houses, but thats not common. I once was i a Village near Munich, where all houses were made from wood.
you begin to love our walls when you have - like me - a PA sound system at home with a 15" subwoofer - i can use it at night while the rest of the house is sleeping. THIS is what i love here. Turning up the volume and the bass at night.
Fun fact: The original actor of the german kids TV-show "Löwenzahn" ("dandelion" from the KiKa meme) was also the sound technician responsible for the broadcast of the JFK speech in Berlin from the other meme. His name was Peter Lustig.
And the newer one I think his name is Fritz Fuchs is in my opinion worse than our original and iconic guy Peter Lustig.
Well that's indeed a good funfact.. I didn't know that😂
Ty
“Peter Lustig“ is “Peter Funny“ in english, it couldn't have been fitting better😅🎉❤

@@MegazockerxD Der Bauwagen ist das Denkmal
4:40 The German word would be "Duschlampe" from "Dusche" meaning shower and "Lampe" meaning lamp. But the words "Du Schlampe" means "you b*tch", so you don't wanna say "Duschlampe", in special to your mum, because it could easy be misunderstood.
Yep....
I think there is another reference meant. From a Time we Germans are not proud of.
I don't think they had lamps in there and the part with telling your mother makes no sense.@@faultier407
@Sandwich: Don't call it bread! You can't call a donkey for a horse either 😂
The pics in the "Kika"-meme all stand for various iconic kids' programmes in Germany. Santa on the beach is supposed to be a reference to "Sandmännchen" (little Sandman). It's an old kids' programme right before young kids' bedtime and the Sandman comes and delivers a short bedtime story. The bread, I think, is a reference to "Bernd, das Brot" (a show with a very sarcastic loaf of bread ... don't ask 😀).The orange mouse is a reference to "Sendung mit der Maus" (The Show with the Mouse) which has little cartoons of said mouse and a tiny blue elefant and in between short films that usually explain how things are made or what people on certain jobs do and such. The dandelions (in German "Löwenzahn") refer to a show with that title where a guy who lives in a blue construction trailer is confronted with all sorts of problems and goes to find out about things, so the programme always has a topic that runs through the whole episode (like "drinking water" and how it finds its way into your house or "books" and how they are made etc). So when confronted with a problem, this guy goes for a deep dive on the topic and explains stuff in a way that kids can understand. Very educational. 🙂
As a German I genuinely love these reactions of Americans to German stuff it's funny to me and very entertaining! Thanks for this it's amazing keep it up! Love from Germany ❤️
"Löwenzahn" was the best and most interesting series as a kid. Awesome.
No! Die Sendung mit der Maus war das beste!
Also ich fand berd das brot lustig
Wahr 😂
The mouse is "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (The show with the mouse) which is a show for kids. And the Dandelion is "Löwenzahn" (Dandelion, literally: Lion's tooth), another show for kids with a lot of educational value.
Regarding the "Ich bin ein Berliner meme": If he were in hamburg he would have said "I am a hamburger". The joke should be self-explaining in this case.
For the ich_iel meme: There is a well known subreddit called "me_irl" (me_in_real_life) which can be literally translated to "ich_im_echten_leben". Abbreviated this becomes "ich_iel". That's why a lot of the memes of ich_iel use literal translations of english (which often sounds stupid, but funny in german). So the translation of "ICH_IEL HAUSIES SEIN WIE - OH SCHEISSE HIER GEHEN WIR WIEDER" literally means "ME_IRL HOMIES ARE LIKE - OH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN"
For Germans it sounds bad due to English grammar similar like: "me_irl housies to be like - oh shit at this place we leave another time."
@@sebastianwittmeier1274 I love how meta that is! You perfectly encapsulated the feeling of reading these posts as a german
I think you misunderstood the "Ich bin ein Berliner" meme, because in Berlin there is a doughnut-like pastry called Pfannkuchen, which in other parts of the german speaking world, including hamburg, is known as a "Berliner Pfannkuchen" which is shortened to "Berliner". So him saying "Ich bin ein Berliner" in Hamburg would be saying "I am a doughnut." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Pfannkuchen
@@phonix6665 Or I am a ham burger
About the walls:
Most "regular" houses in germany have brick walls and we don't really use drywall at all. I'd say it's mostly used in big office buildings or appartment blocks. Or walls that are added later but don't have to hold any mass. So if you punch a wall in germany, you have about a 100% chance to break your hand on exterior walls and about a 70% chance on interior walls
„Hausis“ is a bad translation of the English word „homies“
So the meme says „The Ich_IEL homies be like… here we go again“
as a German person I feel an obligation to explain the memes..
3:30 we have the sandman, Bernd the bread (yes, we're THAT German), the mouse from Sendung mit der Maus and Löwenzahn (dandylion) on the kid's TV program "Kika" (kinderkanal, children's channel)
4:43 lamp shower translates to Duschlampe which would sound like "du Schlampe" which translates to "you bitch"
7:20 ich_iel means irl (ich I'm echten Leben) this subreddit has a habit of translating meme formats literally for additional humor
9:08 I think Hausis is supposed to mean Hausmeister as in janitor (meaning the mods)
9:39 in Germany you can drink light alcohol with 16. I hate it, I don't drink alcohol, but that's the way it is.
The picture is either apple juice, fake, or irresponsible
it's not illegal to drink outside of your house but if people noticed young children drinking they would definitely talk to the parents
10:43 ok that has to be fake. nobody can be that stupid to put China and Australia in Europe and to think that Russia is that small and Poland is that big
12:23 it would also be bad for the climate
13:05 we don't make sandwiches, we schmier das Brot
in Germany it would be a sin to call American sandwiches bread. they are sandwich slices, nothing more. I don't like every bread here in Germany but some are quite tasty, whereas sandwich slices taste of little
Pretty sure 9:08 is supposed to be a literal translation from english meaning "Ich_Iel Homies be like here we go again"
@@cyrx-glg-1675exactly! And ich_iel translates to me_irl.

Bonus information about the wall meme:
The wallpaper on the picture is called "Raufastertapete" (raw fibre wallpaper). It is the most popular German wallpaper, because it can be easily painted over. Paint sticks well to it and you can still see the structure through several layers.

little explanation for the sliced bread confusion. Not every sliced bread is labeled as American Sandwich, mostly there is Butter- or full grain toast written on the packaging. The 'amarican' style is just a bit bigger than the other ones, a bit softer and as I can tell a bit sweeter in taste. That's why it's straight up called 'amarican sandwich' 😅
But we would never call it 'bread' cause that's just toast 😂
I'd call it a sweet sponge.
You can the American Sandwich also name and use as a sponge.
2:40 No that is just big toast. Theres hundreds of types of bread everywhere in europe. The americans just think that toast is bread. But its actually the cheapest sort of bread here in germany. (Not kidding)
If you bring something new to the market, you have to name it. Though we have squared, spongy wheat bread (we call it "toast", bc it's supposed to be toasted), the "American Sandwich" is bigger. "Bread" is an umbrella term for a big variety of baked goods. Bread comes in different shapes and, more important, made of different graines (wheat, rhy, spielt,....), even different methods (yeast or sour dough) are possible.
So "American Sandwich" is a wheat bread in a certain shape and size.
Once you have eaten a good bread made in Europe you will understand why we resist calling this bread. Every country in Europe has its bread techniques but it is simply good. This in comparison is some cheap industrialised mixture.
In the US you do have other bread as well, as fas as I know so even you must recognise that it isn‘t as good as other bread.
3:28 It’s Sandman, Bernd the Bread, The Show whit the Mouse & at last Dandelion (DE: Löwenzahn). All four popular German TV Show for Kids back in the 2000s
The kids with the beers are probably actually drinking apple juice with sparkling water (Apfelschorle) 😂 we don't have 6 y/o children non-chalantly drinking here in Germany haha
German walls are typically brick, in newer houses sometimes concrete, in rarer cases drywall with wooden planks behind it or just wood planks with wall paper... or sometimes just literal stones and plaster. Drywall with flimsy wood framing like in the US is typically only found in commercial/rented office spaces (i.e. when the space is likely to be restructured frequently for a different floor plan).
The Ich_IEL subreddit is probably difficult to translate because there is this unwritten rule - EVERYTHING MUST BE IN GERMAN😂 so they use words that, in a normal converation, would be an english word😂
If you're intrested: I recommend VERY MUCH the Videos from Jules 🤗😂👌🏼
The confusing part about abbreviations like "IEL" is that even in other languages, people tend to use english-derived abbreviations like LOL or AFK
Just goes to show that German subreddits are disproportionally more niche than even english ones, since you have to be in on a lot of international jokes.
Ich habs nicht kapiert, kann aber noch kommen

3:43 btw that bread is sold in a store called "Rewe" idk if they make the bread but I think so haven't seen that bread in another store
The American Sandwich (toast) is named this way because of it's size. The normal toast is smaller (the slices of bread itself not the amount of slizes).
He probably won't know what you mean by "toast".
I second what stef987 says: what we Germans call "Toast" isn't called "toast" in English. Also, the "American Sandwich" is probably called that by REWE to distinguish it from what we Germans usually call "bread".
@@scelestionNo, it's the size.
There are more differences in the german toast and the American bread we sell in germany.
Yes, the size is one of the them but the texture of the bread is different aswell. German toast is supposed to be toasted it doesn't taste good at all eating it un-toasted. American bread ( Weißbrot ) is fine eating it un-toasted but tastes better toasted.
Kindheitshelden: TV-Shows "Santa Claus", "Bernd das Brot", " Sendung mit der Maus", "Löwenzahn"
In germany you call a Shower Lamp (Duschlampe) but if you put a space between like this (du Schlampe) it means you b*tch. I love your Videos man keep it up
13:05 that is NOT bread xD and "toast" has nothing to do with sliced or not sliced. a simple definition: if u throw it onto someones head, and a) he got a concussion -> it is BROT=BREAD since it is **hard and heavy*.* b) he just sais "wtf?!" -> it's TOAST(BROT)=[come up with a name that's not bread!!] since it is **fluffy and light*.* BREAD is round(ish) and has a crust that grandma with her third teeth cant bite, while toast is made in a mold and has this ..shape.. and (do you eat it untoasted too? well since it is just "bread" to u, i'd wager yes) can be eaten even by the toothless boomer. P.S. when i am eating toastbrot, i mostly eat it as is, untoasted. i like the soft texture with soft and delicate things, like philadelphia. i think the superior bread for toasting is BROT, with olive oil salt and pepper :3 so rich in flavour

Santa in Sand = Sandman (Sandmann) he was a character in a show for kids. It was the last show on the TV channel “Kika”

He was the “screensaver” on Kika at night.
The mouse was the mascot of the channel and was called the “Kikaninchen”.
And the dandelions stand for the show “Löwenzahn” (the translation is dandelion btw) and was produced for learning purposes. (About how daily things work)
Hope this helps 😊
Maybe this needs to be explained: the reason why translating stuff from German subreddits, especially ich_irl doesn’t work so well is, that it has become a meme to eliminate all anglicisms in the German language they use, by radically replacing them with the direct translations of those words, even if the result is meaningless/doesn’t translate or grammatically wrong.
So for example: in Germany we don’t have a direct translation for the word homies. It is a exclusively English slang term. Ich_irl will take the part of the word that is translatable m "home" and simply translate it into German "Haus" (wich isn’t even totally correct it should be "Zuhause" but it doesn’t really matter now. Then they will imitate the way the slang worked by adding "is" wich is a way of making a word sound cute like "ies".
Is this dumb? Probably, but I can tell you from the get go that not doing it will only lead to your mother being insulted very frequently.
I think Heimies is more accurate
Yes, they will do a comment chain of "Sprich deutsch du Hurensohn", or later, because in 2023 r/place people got to know the term "Hurensohn", they will replace it with older german words like "Sprich deutsch du Sohn einer Dirne" or "Sprich deutsch du Dirnenspross"
I so so hate this as a German, it hurts my eyes to read that broken Grammar and the cringey translations
1:00 - I think that applies to a lot of houses across Europe, not just Germany.
I can guarantee every wall in my house will do the exact same toy our hand.... though I can't speak for new builds. The older walls you have zero chance of winning against lol.

13:13 the point is, we don´t call "this" bread. more likely it´s called "toast"

6:48 YES! You got it! It’s called HAmburg. Not Hämbörg. And that’s how you pronounce every a in German.
When I am speaking English, I usually use the English names of the cities that have one. And I would say, that for Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen (probably amongst others) the English name only differs at pronounciation. In German, we do it similar with London or Paris. In normal everyday conversation, most people will speak the "O"s in London the German way and actually speak the "S" in Paris.
I think, there is a shift in using the original names of places, it is less common to call Aachen Aix-La-Chapelle at least in English and at least the English Wikipedia article of Lüneburg is called so nowadays. But I wouldn't say it is wrong to say Hamburg with the English pronounciation, as long as the conversation is English.
@@gaedingar9791 Ja ja
I was just trying to compliment Ryan‘s pronunciation because he was trying to say it in German. And giving the hint that that’s how you say the a in German. Always. For example in hallo. 😊
You should keep something in mind. Whenever you say something about a language, like how a letter is pronounced, or how a grammatical rule works, or something like that, try to avoid making statements with "every" or "always" or "never" or stuff like that. Because, there usually exceptions. That goes for pretty much everything in every language. and even if not, doesn't hurt to be safe, does it?.
(second meme) As a german i too needed a while to figure it out. The pictures are intentionally weirdly chosen. It's all shows from the childrens channel.
Top left is the sandman, a very old show that many kids watch before bedtime.
Top right, the channel is not active at night, but there are a few episodes of "Bernd das Brot" (Bernd the bread) looping during the night.
Bottom left is the Sendung mit der Maus (show with the mice). An educational childrens programm runing since before the berlin wall fell and still geting a new episode every sunday.
Bottom right is Löwenzahn, a mix of educational and detective show.
Everyone in Germany knows these shows since they run longer then many can think. These shows are running on publicly funded channels, therefore only care about entertaining and educating children and running completely ad free.
Show with the mouse. Mice wäre Mehrzahl (Plural).
The joke isnt can drink at 21 , the joke is you can drive a car at 16.
The walls in Latvia are usually made out of bricks, stones or concrete, depending on how old the house is. The newer ones often have these "paper" walls, but I wouldn't recommend throwing a tantrum with the fist onto a wall. 😂
I live in an old house (1891). It's half timbered (wooden frame with bricks between the wood and a plastered fassade). Most inner walls are made of bricks and have drywall attached to even them out
I also live in a half-timbered house. There, the interior walls are made of a mix of straw and clay. 😉
@Ryan Wass Hausis is the literal translation of homies to german ( Home ment as house ) so its like : ICH_IEL Homies be like , " Shit here we go again " Together with the second layer of the meme, the picture of Al Bundys after hours ritual for relaxing. The couch and one hand in the trousers. The meaning of the meme is like they appreciate your content and find it helping to relax after a hard day of work. And i couldn´t agree more. Here take a thumbs up.
You actually read some sense into it. So it does not have anything to do with that particular thumbnail? I was wondering why that content in particular would be so enticing, but if they just meant Ryan in general, then I understand it now.

The walls of our "one-family home" (so just a typical house) are made of solid reinforced concrete (so concrete with steel rods and grids inside them). In the basement, only the outer walls are made that way, all walls that make up the rooms are Ytong, which is basically concrete bricks with tiny air filled pores (it's a brand name). Now, only the inside of the roof uses actual dry wall, so we do use that here, too. I think both drywall and concrete are solid (lol) options. Concrete houses won't fly away in tornados, only the roofs will. You can hang stuff on the walls basically anywhere, granted not where conduits and pipes are (hard to check, need a device for that, since there are no studs you can feel), and those pictures or whatever will most likely never come loose ever again. And you cannot punch holes in the wall, that's also great. However, you'll have a really hard time retrofitting a house with any cables or pipes, it's a pain in the ass (you need a special router to create channels in the top layer of the wall). This is why I often wish we had dry walls... Which would be cheaper, too, I guess...
Ich think the kids are drinking "Apfelschorle", a mix of Applejuice and Sparkling water
Second meme is "Weihnachtsman & Co. KG", "Bernd das Brot", "Die Sendung mit der Maus" and "Löwenzahn". All very well TV Shows for Kids.
Bernd das Brot - oh yes...I've been racking my brain as to what that means....
also ich dachte der erste geht um sandmann
3:16 The santa means the series Weihnachtsmann & CoKG (I think), the bread means Bernd das Brot (sone love it, some got tr4uma 😂) (translates to Bernd the bread), the mouse means Die Sendung mit der Maus (the broadcast with the mouse, it's for education) and the dandelion means Löwenzahn (basically translates to dandelion, also education)
These are iconic TV shows for german kids
The first one got me already - german walls sometimes are made of drywall, too - BUT they're only to separate rooms, main walls are made of brick and concrete. For example - the only wall in my mom's apartment made of drywall is between both bedrooms, the rest is brick/concrete - brick and concrete is better in case of a fire, it contains the fire to this one room. There had been a kitchen fire a few houses down and the kitchen in this apartment burnt out completely, even the balcony was fine, it's been blackened by the smoke but otherwise not damaged.
9:30 - in every soccer stadium you see this, the cups are used for every drink - even juice or lemonade. "Apfelschorle" - a mix of apple juice and carbonated water - looks exactly like beer just wthout the foam.
The picture with the map of Europe was funny, because it also said Hawaii and Australia on it. There was a bit of nonsense about the fact that Americans are said to be not so good at geography about Europe.😉
2:07 bricks and very very much cement and what we call "Raumfasertapete"
1:50
what are they made out of?
mainly stond and concrete.
14:40 the joke is that the sentence makes no gramatically sense in german
The kids are drinking apple juice with water btw. It's a popular drink among kids and sometimes even has slight foam on the surface. 🎉
In Germany, not only the outer walls are made of briks, but also the inner walls. Drywall is rarely used to modify existing rooms.
It depends, most modern houses have outer walls made of concrete and inner walls made of drywall, only load bearing walls are made of concrete as well. Older houses buildt between around 1960 to 2000 are mostly made of brick, most of the rebuildt pre WW2 houses are even made of sandstone. The nicest buildings imo are the iconic half timbered houses from the 14th to 16th century which you can find in many german historic towns/districts.
that "gscha!" got me real good there. The brand is translated to "yes!" (since it's a pretty cheap one in supermarkets here, it's advertised as "yes, we take that!" kind of stuff
You can buy toast in every supermarket in Germany. They most of the time also sell toast with bigger diameter slices under the name "American Sandwich". I guess thats because German toast generally has smaler slices and the American Sandwich is just toast like you would find in an American grocery store.
Anyway i find it kinda cute that you call toast "sliced bread". As a German i can confirm that we dont recognize toast as bread.
amerikan sliced bread has also double to 3 times more shugaar in it
@@extremchiller410 "sliced bread"
A Berliner in Hamburg is a pastry... basically a strawberry filled donut (but without the hole).
I didn't know that meme, but that one is dark... 🤣
No, the joke is that he would have said, i am a Hamburger.
Ich bin ein Hamburger sounds so funny.
@@Psi-Storm My first association was the Berliner pastry leaking out strawberry jam and a headshot
The internet has ruined me 😂
@@Psi-Storm So one way or the other, he declared himself, by accident I suppose, to be a food. Thank god he was not in Wien.
the joke is, that the person thought, if he was in hamburg, he would have said "ich bin ein hamburger." and that is funny, because a hamburger is a food item. but the actual joke is, that the person did not know that a berliner is a food item too!
12:44 t h i s i s n o t b r e a d.
3:41 first one I don’t know, second one is “Bernd das Brot”, third is “Sendung mit der Maus”, and third one is “Löwenzahn”, which were all shows ~2000s
"What are your walls made of?" As you said solid bricks. Also the walls inside the house are made of solid stone.
1:50 What are they made out of? Most oftenly concrete. But theres also drywalls if you want to go cheap at some places.
What's very common in the subreddit ich_iel is that they translate english phrases word-by-word and even try to create new words by translating it in seperste parts. So the first line of the meme you're in says "ich_iel homies be like" with the "home" and "ies" part translated seperately to "Haus" and "is" creating the word "Hausis" for "homies". Same goes for "be" and "seien" as well as "like" and "wie". The second sentence is just the usual "ah sh** here we go again" phrase translated word-by-word creating a grammatically painful thing to read.
Hey Ryan, about the meme with the Kindheitshelden starting at 02:15 they refer to the following shows in germany 1. "Sandmann" 2. "Bernd das Brot" 3. " Die Sendung mit der Maus" 4. "Löwenzahn" with Peter Lustig
