The Schufa is a private company that determines someone's credit score based on tons of data, and they are being consulted whenever you ask a bank for a loan, or make a contract with a phone company for example. The thing is that their algorithms are being kept secret and no one knows the exact reason for their individual score. And when they make a mistake by mixing up names e.g. it can cause lots of trouble.
Yeah. It's pretty shit, but not much different from credit scores in North America. The comparison to China's social credit is a bit of a hyperbole.
@@faultier1158 I don't know, nowadays if you want to rent an apartment your Schufak score matters. Also, if you want to buy something on credit it can be denied if your Schufak credit score is not good enough. My partner wanted to buy an overpriced graphic card once on credit, with installments. He never had a credit before, always paid everything in full and on time. His credit was denied, cause according to Schufak his credit liability was very low. When he called that shitty company to ask, he was informed that his credit score is so low because he never had a credit before, he needs to prove his liabality with a smaller credit payment first, a micro credit.
That means, if he wants to for example buy a car with installment payment, he can't unless he would buy a few things with installments that he could easily afford without that - to prove that he pays back those installments on time.
Also, doing a self inquiry will lower your schufa score...
@@olgahein4384 That sounds exactly like what I've heard about the US credit score.
@@EyMannMachHin Well, that's a rumour. It might me true, but you can't prove it. If you could, it would be proof that they were doing something illegal. It's like a Catch-22 made of of Catch-22s.
8:50 The guy in the picture with the words, "To my knowledge.... this is right now... immediately" opened the borders for the East Germans/Germans in the GDR.

1:52 ARD and arte are broadcasting stations. The political party is called AfD.
Ja
@@lennartgamer2339 Yes - less funny but more expensive.
To go into a bit more detail, ARD is actually the umbrella organisation for the regional public broadcasting corporations of Germany. They produce a national tv channel officially named "Das Erste" (The First), but often also called just ARD. Arte is a tv channel jointly produced by German and French public broadcasting corporations. It is known for having very high quality content which is also the point of the meme, i.e. how Arte is so high quality while requiring relatively little money compared to other public broadcasting in Germany.
@@roerd The 33 cent a month just looks small. There are 38 million households paying Rundfunkgebühren. So Arte gets 150 million Euro financing every year through the Germans, and the same amount from France.
Also they are publicly funded but not state owned broadcast services, which is something that americans can't really get their head around.
"Der Held der Steine" is a German Lego TH-camr. He is very sympathetic and makes very accurate reviews.
Und "nichts vor dem man sich fürchten müsste..."
I think he would prefer the term "clamping block TH-camr" (Klemmbausteine). Lego is actually a brand name, although many use it as a generic term (Gattungsbegriff).
I think you meant likeable not sympathetic😅
He's a German Klemmbaustein (plastic bricks) TH-camr...
since a few years, he doesn't limit his interest anymore to the products of the Lego company, but also presents products from rival companies (since Lego had annoyed him with a letter from their attorneys)
@@schnelma605 and the difference is important, at least to the Lego company... some time ago Lego's attorneys sent him a letter and demanded that he deletes some of his videos, because he had used the word "Lego" as a synonym for "clamping bricks" in these videos.
he complied with the demand, deleted these videos - and recorded them again, now with updated "correct " language... and even more sarcastic remarks. each of the deleted and remade videos gave him some hundred thousand additional views. ... so, clearly a win for him
KI = artificial intelligence
KIZ = a german rap group that makes music with provocative lyrics. They have a whole song that talks about them making music for housewives "music to listen to while you're Vaccuming"
Yeah. KIZ are incredibly quotable.
They actually include pretty smart references despite being often crude or even childish in their work.
They make rap for Kevins.
Holy shit, I just found out "Urlaub für's Gehirn" isn't an original of "Callejon".
Bayern is the German word for bavaria and that guy is the governor of bavaria and head of the CSU, a party that only exists in bavaria. And bavarian elections are near.
Plus he is from Franconia! Not bavarian at all.
Similar to the "Trump says China Meme"...
sadly the person in the last video is the high chief of Bavaria.

5:20 It's a pun on words. Anlieger means residents, thus the sign is equivalent to "Residents only". Anliegen means Request, thus the chad says: It is my request to drive here.
well not just residents right?
because companies that have something to do for the residents are also allowed. drivers that have an "anliegen" to be there.
@@mauer1 Lets translate it to "residents and their guests and contractors".
@@mauer1 No, it has nothing to do with "anliegen haben". Nothing more than an old myth / misinterpretation of this sign.
It really is just "residents only"; residents = Anlieger. Of course that also applies to anyone who wants to go to, meet/visit or do something with such a resident who lives there.
But if your "anliegen" is to just use this road to pass through and go to your destination beyound this, than you're not supposed to use this road at all.
That sign is mostly equivalent to "local traffic only" or "no thru traffic" in the US. In OpenStreetMap all three signs get tagged as "access=destination", which means that you may drive into the area if your destination is inside. And trying to translate the pun into English, the other guy's destination/desire is to drive through the road :)
"Residents only" is the same as "Anwohner frei" (tagged as access=private in OpenStreetMap). But this sign is mostly used for paid parking (and only includes people (or their vehicles) who are living there) and while "Anlieger frei" is mostly used for access restrictions (and includes everybody who needs to enter the area).
4:58 "Anlieger frei" means that you are only allowed to drive there, if your destination is on that road or there's no other way to your destination. "Anliegen" means both "Destination" and "reason" (in this case). The meme basically says that he has to drive there, because he wants to.
It's very difficult to explain german words, if there's no direct English translation to it
I think in this case the translation would be "wish": "it is my wish to use that road".
In Austrian German it makes a bit more sense I believe
My reason ist to park my car in this street.

The drinking meme is about how germans do "Vorglühen" or pre-glow. Which means you meet up and get somewhat drunk already so youn don't have to pay the extrem prices in bars or discos. He was talking about how he went there thinking you will drink 2 beers and thats it but instead everybody each hat 1 wine bottle, 6 beers and 4 shots and then said " Now we go to the bar so we can continou drinking there" and he was like " no babe, im not going to the bar, im going to the hospital for alcohol poisining".
The German reviewer is the "Held der Steine". A very popular TH-cam channel about Lego and other brands with bricks like Mega, Xingbao and a lot more.
Held der Steine is the best!!!
The best channel about Klemmbausteine
Comparrison between 2 awsome channels!
I never expected a comparisson!
The thing with the German turkeys is, in Germany there living approximately 1.5 millions here and that’s the biggest amount abroad. they are all allowed to vote in turkey and most of them have voted for Erdogan. We Germans making fun about that because they don’t have to fear the consequences of they’re choice.
Grüße aus Deutschland. 🇩🇪
In fact they can take advantage of the weak Lira since they're getting paid in (relatively) strong Euros. Suddenly that beach house in Antalya is a lot more affordable. Though I am sure that's just the jaded cynic in me speaking.
Also huehuehue at "German turkeys", I assume that was on purpose.
9:00 those 2 half sentences caused the fall of the inner german wall.
The Person got asked, when new changes to the system (how permissions for leaving the DDR) will take affect and he said the part in the meme.
This wasnt true, part many germans did go to the border and demanded the opening of the gates. Because of the huge amount of people, they were opened and the rest is historical
4:35 K.I. is the German abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence. K.I.Z. is a German band with incredibly non-PG lyrics.
5:15 "Anlieger frei" mean "Residence are free to drive here (usually in combination with a no entry sign)". The other person is saying, "I have a vested interest in driving here". It is a pun that does not work in English. The German word for resident and the word for vested interest are the same.
Danke dir. Das mit K.I.Z. hab ich selbst als Deutscher nicht verstanden.
9:00 That guy was Günter Schabowski. He was state secretary of the "ZK der SED der DDR" (central commitee of the social unity party (SED = Sozialistische Einheitspartei) of the former german democratic republic) and with this statement he inadvertently opened in the afternoon of the 9th of November in 1989 the border between the GDR and the FRG. That marked finally the beginnig of the end of the GDR.SEDcentral committee
There are a lot of turkish immigrants living in german,y thus the fascination with turkey on that subreddit
Let me correct that.
There are a lot of Germans living in Turkey 2.0
Not only that, turks living here are allowed to vote for the turkish president.
... and Türkiye's presidential elections were recent
yes and the memes are about the people who reelect an idiot for president because they live in Germany and don't have to deal with his bullshit
They also like that the turkish lira is going down. That means they can easily buy big property there quite cheap for Euros earned in Germany. The poorer Türkiye gets - the richer they will be.
„Is it because you’re nervous or because you just don’t like people?“ … Yes.
Totally underrated comment. Hilarious - and so true! 😂

Regarding the Turks in Germany:
Many Turks in Germany have dual citizenship. And recently there were elections in Turkey. So the Turks with dual citizenship could also participate in the elections in Turkey.
Erdogan owes his victory to the German Turks because they voted for Erdogan in the majority. The Turks living in Turkey, on the other hand, voted in such a way that the new candidate would have won if the Turks from Germany had not participated in the election because they were dissatisfied with Erdogan due to inflation and other problems.
Erdogan didn't win because of the turkish people in germany. Their numbers are far too little. Still it is strange to see that turkish citizens, who often left turkey bc of all the problems Erdogan and his party cause, still vote for him.
@@DeadGirlsPoemI would guess its due to the 2nd and 3rd generation of turks which always lived in Germany and never actually went to turkey except for vacation
@@DeadGirlsPoem Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was like that.
It is rather due to the schizophrenic attitude of Turkish voters in Germany. They live in a politically quite liberal country, but vote for what some call a tyranny and others an autocracy in Turkey.
@@DeadGirlsPoem is it really soooo little?
0:35 The legal framework for the corona protection measures expired on April 7th 2023. This means that the last remaining measures have been eliminated.

Yes.
I‘m looking forward to your road trip in Germany. I guess you can travel for four weeks by couch surfing from one german subscriber to the next 😂
In German memes it’s often the case that ppl will either „Englishify“ words or use words in a literal 1:1 translation. For instance they would write „Aufdatum“ instead of update (up-auf; date-datum).
It may be one of the reasons you and your translators find it hard to decipher.
In many cases that might be true, but I never heard aufdatum a single time in Germany and nobody would get it as well. We would either use the word Update or Aktualisierung.
@@juliushauck3981 done on purpose to add another layer. Basically the "gen z mermes" meme.
Schufa is a company that tracks your credit score. And if you want to buy a train ticket in the DB App and choose Direct Debit as a payment method, DB will only sell you the ticket if you have a satisfying credit score. At least that was what happened to me after I turned 18. Couldn't select Direct Debit as a payment method :(
Yeah, I think the American equivalent would be Equifax maybe
I can only pay with debit if I pay for flex prices and not for spar prices
@@sollte1239 what? that's crazy.
But when i had serious money problems in my student time, I also noticed that many things are more expensive for poor people 🙄
Schufa = protective association for creditprotection ( of financial institutions) (Schufa Holding AG founded in 1927) -> was once founded to prevent people from becoming over-indebted.
Yes, they collect financial information (loans->non-mortgages, credit cards, checking accounts, late payments, garnishments, etc.)
Every citizen can receive free information about the collected/transmitted data once a year. Landlords often request a Schufa information template -> this form of information is chargeable..
Actually, Ian McCallum (the gun reviewer) is a well-spoken, nice and sensible guy that can explain the inner mechanics of a weird experimental gun to folks with no clue of weapon design whatsoever in a way that everyone understands it. While I am deeply critical of the US gun culture I do enjoy watching his channel as it is fun to watch.
Gun Jesus
@@lapisinfernalis9052" I am the light and the way, but sometimes my light is muzzle flash."😄

@@tobiwallner5483 I do not watch him that much but it is very interesting to see some weird gun designs.
The one that immediately pops up in my head is the "Kraut Space magic" one where he talks about a German gun which uses caseless amunition.
He is also quite entertaining to watch if you want to know how some historical gun designs worked.
Indeed. Gun Jesus is a very positive example of a firearms enthusiast. A legitimate collector and historian, well mannered, focuses on facts and keeps current politics out of it entirely.
10:00 Markus Söder has been Prime Minister of Bavaria since March 16, 2018, and CSU party leader since January 19, 2019.
5:00 Anlieger Frei means enter the street only with cause, otherwise keep out (if you want to visit s/o that lives on the street or your doctor is there, you have a cause, but it's not allowed to use it as a shortcut).
7:50 this guy was american. He just wanted to tbrow in some of his german skills to make it funnier for the german viewers. So no, germans don't talk like that xD
The thing with the Turkish Lira: The falling of the Lira means that Turkish immigrants when visiting their country of origin can buy much more for their Euros. There is a very big Turkish community in Germany, dating back to the sixties when the Germans needed workers for their new factories and got them from Italy, Greece and other countries, but the biggest numbers came from Turkey. They were supposed to stay only for a few years, but since they settled in Germany and brought their families and since their work was still needed at the time they stayed and became German citizens. I don't know the current numbers which are probably much lower, but at some point they were the biggest immigrant group in Germany estimated at almost 20% of population.

In Germany, we have the law that we need to drive on the right lane. And, the person drove in the middle lane the whole time. So, that was about the other person in the car asking, if the driver would pull over to the right lane as all were free.

I think he's from America and you clearly can hear his accent and that he switches so often to englisch
3:30 regional products, like u can get on a farmers market.
Just in germany, many supermarkets buy from their local farmers...so they get "regional products"
Not "Made in Germany"...more of "Made in Unter Oer-Erkenschwick" (referencial translation: made in Downtown Monowi, Nebraska)
Schufa is the German equivalent to Equifax, so it's not really a social credit system.
2:25 this is happening pretty frequently, especially in metropolitan areas, where many strictly religios Muslims live.
Paramedics are attacked for touching a women, even if it's to safe her life, equipment from the ambulance gets stolen and some people in these ghettos freak out for no reason.
Being a firefighter or a paramedic can be quite dangerous in these areas.
7:50 I would say it's rather normal for the newer generations to speak "Denglisch" (it's a compound word out auf Deutsch = german and Englisch = English and it means to speak a german with some words replaced by english words to reduce the usage of long words like "Fernbedienung" = "remote"). It's used more on the internet, but you can always find some english words in common use in german.
To translate the clip at 6:37: Partying with germans is one of the most difficult activites ever! Because if the go out drinking it's so strong, but they think it's normal and everyone can do it. Like you go the their "vorglühen" (habit of drinking before even going to the party/bar) secion thinking to yourself: "Ok, I will drink one or to small beers and that's it." And then you get there and each one of them already had a bottle of wine, 5 or 6 "small" beers and like 3 or 4 shots. And after all that, they be like: " Now we go to the bar and keep drinking there!" Like, "no my sweetheart, i won't go to the bar and keep drinking there, I go to the hospital for alcohol poisoning." I love germans.
Wow heftig dass du dir die Arbeit gemacht hast!👌🫶
I agree, that "Denglish" has become more and more popular. Not only among young people but amongst genX and millennials, too. I would connect that to commercials' and advertisements' influence in general: In the 1990s brands, which operate globally, started to use the same slogan for all countries - on the one hand, to strengthen the brand and make it worldwide recognizable more easily. On the other hand to save time and money as well as to penetrate new European markets quickly: When the Eastern block and Balkan countries (former Soviet Union, GDR [former Eastern Germany], Poland, Tchech, Slovakia, and so on) opened their borders, there were huge new markets for Western global players. They were about to enter those new markets at the same time as their competitors - first comes first served. It would have cost tons of money to adjust their campaigns to each country individually. Keep in mind almost all of these countries don't use Latin letters, but have unique alphabets with unique letters. Therefore the slogans usually were in English and in Latin letters, to make sure the brand was recognized in each country, because the inhabitants of these countries were allowed to travel now internationally, too. They should recognize the brand while traveling, too. A consistent slogan made that easier. Therefore the political changes in Europe during the 1990s influenced the markets, what influenced the branding, what influenced the daily language in general.
The guy talking about partying with Germans is clearly no native speaker, so his "Denglish" is more "naturally" switching between German and English.🙂 But I'd like to claim "Vorgluehen" is more common against young people, since they have less money and want to save money at the bars where drinks are expensive. Somehow you might argue, that another type of "German efficiency". 😃
4:08 Schufa Holding AG (German: Schutzgemeinschaft für allgemeine Kreditsicherung; English: General Credit Protection Agency[) is a German private credit bureau supported by creditors. It has its headquarters in Wiesbaden, the capital of Hessen, Germany.
Schufa's purpose is to protect its clients from credit risks. It also offers protection from insolvency to borrowers (from wiki)
Ironically, the rifle that the American reviewer is displaying there was made by Heckler & Koch in Germany
The last one was Markus Söder, the prime minister of Bavaria and the video was a snippet of every time he said "Bayern" (Bavaria) in a speech at the CSU party conference.
That one almost reaches the levels of Stoiber's famous "10 minuten" talk
4:35 K.I. or KI ist the German translation for AI, artificial intelligent, while K.I.Z. is a German rap group.
last meme: This guy is markus Söder, the minister president of bavaria (Bayern) and he just loves bavaria. When he talks in the parlament or anywhere, it always has somehow to do with bavaria.
5:00 "Anlieger frei" means that you can´t drive on this road unless you live there. but Anliegen means something like wish so he wants to drive thru there. It´s a clever play with words.
I love the "Held der Steine". He had a hard time with the Lego company and is always making fun of them because they sell ridiculous expensive toys and there are way more better companies with more realistic prices.

4:28 Clasic American Korean Person talking. Sentence begins with in Germany. The american:

9:09 There are millions of Turks living in Germany, people who immigrated throughout the years. But they have relatives in Turkey, they often visit the country etc. And since the Turkish currency goes brutally downhill in the recent years, Euro currency against Turkish Lira keeps gaining more and more value and when they travel back to Turkey, what they earn as a moderate amount in Germany becomes super crazy in Turkey and their Euros keep growing more and more when converted to Turkish Lira. And vast majority of the German Turks (who are duel citizens or have the right to still vote in Turkey) vote for Erdogan fanatically, who happens to be the main reason of Turkey’s collapsing economy, and they don’t give a fuck because they don’t experience the downfall effects of Turkey’s bad economical situation. So “La vie est belle” to German Turks. That’s what the jokes r about.
2:06 arte is the best tv channel and support of music culture in europe. they often do live concerts on yt and show hidden gems of movies and documentaries that are absolutely gorgeous. meanwhile ARD is receiving most of our money and they show us constant garbage .
6:35 Mittelspurfahrer are a pest.
The dude talking about drinking was not German, although we use quite some English in our language (especially those under 40yo). But he really knows the Germans love their Bierchen ... which is just a term of endearment for beer. Yes, that is how much we love this.
@Ryan Wass u got so cool videos!We love you (and your beautiful wife and son) here in Austria 🇦🇹 and Germany 🇩🇪 greetings from us Mary😊✌🏼
There were just elections in Turkey. There was a lot of criticism because an above-average number of German Turks voted for Erdogan, thus against democracy.
@5:00 the sign is typically posted below road signs prohibiting certain traffic, exempting those with business there from it, for example if you live there, visit someone there or deliver something there.
The person in the last meme was "King Markus von Söder" (He often acts like this and has already dressed up like this), Minister President of Bavaria. He is also party leader of the Christian Social Union, a rather conservative and Bavarian patriotic party and sister party of the Christian Democratic Union. The party has ruled the state of Bavaria since the beginning of time.
Yeap, I was wondering if anybody was commenting on him .. and yeap that clip sums up his politics in the German Parliament : Bavaria Bavaria Bavaria. Me. Me. Me. Bavaria.
There are lots of Turkish immigrants living in Germany. In the recent Turkish elections, the Turks in Germany tipped the ballot in favor of Erdogan, the autocratic president, despite not having to live under his rule in Turkey and suffering the consequences.
These things are extremely funny if you know something about Germany.
8:48 The most important 'immediately' in modern history.
nope i think that was an american with german mixed into the story and yes usually when americans come to germany for the first time they are usually like .... i can drink a box of beer without any problems... than you give him 2 hefeweizen and he ends up in your bathroom hugging the toilett ;P
8:15 Germany had a regulation where one has to give up its original citizenship to become German citizen. Most of those with an Turkish background decided to hang on to the Turkish passport, as they live and work in Germany for many decades, which is possible as they have acquired an unlimited residence permit - similar to an US green card.
Those who retained can take part in the Turkish elections and the majority (German results >70%) voted for the recent authoritarian government, whereas only 48-49 Turks out of 100 who live and work within the country voted for the present authoritarian leader.
That is why the German public does not understand that Turks with permanent residency in Germany finally voted him in, but they do not have to live in the authoritarian regime nor are they dependent on the Turkish Lira which sinks in value literally every second.
You really need a guide to help you with some of the memes. Just to explain the basics.
0:38 Nope, last restrictions were lifted long ago but public administration has figured out it's kinda convenient to have people only show up after making an appointment (often meaning five to ten minutes of work inside a thirty minute time slot) instead of lining up in the hallways so some of them (not all though) still use the "Pandemic" as an excuse to keep their "appointment only" thing going.
It's basically public servants having an excuse for being even more lazy than usual.
3:53 Funny thing tho in Trains everybody fears to sit near to another but when we enter a beergarden we got no fear at atlking and partying with strangers its like wondering into a difrent world and the Party Switch hits as soon you past the gate to the Beergarden
The meme at around 6:20 is about the "Rechtsfahrgebot". It means that everyone is required to use the most right lane if possible. The idea is to create a linear flow. The lane on the left is supposed to remain free for most of the time unless you decide to overtake someone or if there is a traffic jam. But. Most of the people won't take the right lane if everything is free and rather use the middle lane (if available). If there are only two lanes however the people tend to use the right lane. They only spread out if there are more than two lanes but the lane to the furthest left remains free most of the time. And if we think about the "Rechtsfahrgebot" that's a weird behavior in retrosepct.
0:02 nothing can slip by the voice-crack-radar
😂😂
Mixing German and English is called Denglish. My sister and I talk like that to each other all the time, lol
About the "All seats are taken" - there is this mysterious mechanism in pubs/discos too: Man and his wingman try to pick up some girls, the good (10/10), the bad (4to7/10) and the ugly. Just observe: They will talk to the bad, they will take home the ugly but they are afraid of the good and won't even talk with her (unless she forces them to).
0:54 Der Held der Steine "The Hero of stones". He owns a Lego shop where he sells Lego sets. He also makes videos about the sets that Lego releases. He has already been reported by Lego for this.
9:00 In Germany many Turkish residents have two passports and most of these voted for Erdogan. The President who is responsible for the Lira (Turkish currency) decline. Since all Turks living in Germany have most of their retirementmoney/savings stashed Euro they increased their purchasing power in Turkey.
In the last 5 years Erdogans financial policies devalued the Lira compared to the Euro by 320%. Just after his reelection Euro savers gained 6% again.
Anlieger doesnt mean residents in this case, its means its free for all, whom have a request/concern to use this street, one example would be, they are visiting someone living at this street or going to a lawyer/doctor residing at this street etc.
German Turks are often quite nationalistic, they vote for Erdogan because they think they are doing the Turks in Turkey a favor, but making their lives even more difficult. It's like running into a buzz saw with a smile.
Der Held der Steine knows his Lego and Ian knows his arms. They present their knowledge in a very interesting, professional manner, that's why I subscribed to both. 😄
What I find interesting about the guns is their history and the differences in their inner workings.
Germans after a bottle of wine, 12 beers and 3-4 shots, let's go to the bar and drink some more...
The guy: No I will not go to the bar with you, I'll go to the hospital, due to alcohol poisoning...
"Meistgauschter Resident", "gleich fahds du wieder reichs" 🤣🤣🤣
5:10 That one's a pun.
The sign says "Anlieger frei" which means only residents are allowed to drive that road.
However, the word Anlieger sounds like it's related to Anliegen which means something like cause or intention, so the second guy then says he has an intention of driving through and because he has an Anliegen, he's an Anlieger and therefore free to take the road.
reason for those memes regarding German Turkes is that they dont life in turkey but they get to vote in turkeys elections and voted overwhelmingly Erdogan even with that Erdogan only got his win in a second vote round after the first was a draw meaning the majority of people that actualy life in Turkey actually dont want Erodgan still he is now there president for the next years again
Erdogan is also a good chunk responsibly for the drop in the turkish lira and the economy overall which the German Turkes that vote for him arent affected by
The US Gun "Reviewer" is Ian from Forgotten Weapons. He finds interesting historic guns, explains their history and development and then takes them apart to show you how exactly every single part works. And as a German i watch basically every Video of his
I haven't ever watched a video about guns, but I imagine that an expert taking them apart and explaining how they work sounds super interesting to me. I might check him out.
@@Ellisepha It's a really good channel. It's not like one of those two words two shots channels. A lot of the times the firing of the gun is in an separated video so if your not into that stuff you don't have to watch it.
@@Ellisepha Ian McCollum (also known as Gun Jesus) is a walking gun encyclopedia who really digs into obscure and unusual (and well-known) weapons and provides an in-depth explanation about both their origins, their history and how they actually work (including a full disassembly of the firearm in question and a thorough explanation how exactly every single part works). My personal favorites are his videos about very obscure, mostly one-off weapons which usually originate from areas like early 20th-century China or the infamous Khyber Pass weapons still produced today. Mind you, you do NOT want to shoot any of these if you value your life :D
A lot of turks or people who have turkish ancestors live in germany and at the president election in turkey last week, most of them voted for Erdogan. That´s why all of these memes are in this weeks episode.
to be fair, as a german Ive also watched a lot of the gun-reviews or history lessons. You'd be surprised how different they can be internally and how they function. Ofc this appeals to me as a german :D
The gun jesus is interesting, because he usually shows how these guns work mechanically. So if you like tinkering with mechanical things this is somewhat fascinating. Most other gun related channels only show some rednecks shooting stuff on the ranch, which is uninteresting and supremely boring.
@J U Er befasst sich meines Wissens hauptsächlich mit Systemen die nicht sonderlich gut funktioniert haben und deshalb in Vergessenheit geraten sind.
@@krokogator Teilweise. Manchmal ist es am interessantesten zu erfahren, warum ein gut funktionierendes System sich nicht durchgesetzt hat (Kosten, politischer Einfluss, sich ändernde militärische Doktrin etc.). Der häufigste Grund scheint zu sein: "Dein System braucht 20 Teile, meins braucht 10".
There is a saying from the Middle Ages: "Bier auf Wein, das lass´ sein - Wein auf Bier, das rat ich dir" (roughly translated to "Beer on wine, leave it alone - wine on beer, I advise you.") 😆
3:50 I travel every day to my work with the Bus, and yes it is the same but in the Bus.
Anlieger frei basicly means that only residents are allowed to go through this road it depends on the road sign combination.
10:00 the guy speaking was the minister president of bavaria (Bayern) that's why he spoke so much about it
The change between german and English is to confuse people from other lands and those of us who don't speak english
To the "Anlieger frei" joke:
The sign means, that residents are allowed to pass there (sometimes it refers to parking spaces on the side of the road too). "Anlieger" can either mean "resident" or "someone with an intention or concern". The sign says "residents free" So the guys replies with "It is my intention to drive through this street"
(after a bottle of wine, several beers and 3-4 shots) "We now go to the bar and continue drinking there." - "No, sweetheart, I don't go to the bar and continue drinking there, I go to the hospital because of alkohol poisoning."
The man at the end of the video who talks non-stop about Bayern is something like the German Ron DeSantis. He is the current premier of Bavaria (comparable to a governor in the US) and is in campaign mode for his re-election.
Watching this video has become kind of a guilty pleasure to me. Its so painful like he doesnt get is AT ALL but seems to refuse to research about what the meme is about. So at the end of the day he learns nothing, gets mote than the half wrong and gets confused abd it makes me mad
But i still watch it
Anlieger frei means there is another sign that says: You cannot enter here - but residents are free to drive there
That was Markus Söder, Great Kong and eternal leader of Bavaria since his predecessor, King Seehofer succumbed to poison, when he mistook a oil drum for a beer barrel at the Oktoberfest.
1:10 Both great channels, actually.
6:20 you are absolutely right 🙂
My favorite supermarket got rid of shopping baskets during the pandemic. They are still gone 😕
This is literally what happened to me as my father moved to our place 0:21
6.07. Its bacause in germany, in the right lanes, you drive "slow" like 80 mph, and the left line us for people who want to drive really fast
Schufa is real in Germany. But this is not a credit system. Schufa is a short name for "Schutzgemeinschaft für allgemeine Kreditsicherung". It is a company that records your payment behavior. For example, concluding a telephone contract or generally subscribing to a service or magazine. Loans too, of course. But if you are late with the payment, then you will get a negative entry in Schufa. If you breach the contract, then Schufa can prevent you from concluding contracts in Germany. It even includes rental contracts for home or apartments are also included. So some people have become homeless trying to move with this contract ban. Germany ticket or "Deutschlandticket" was planned with a Schufa check. This plan has since been scrapped.
"Anlieger frei" means that if you have a purpose or "Anliegen" to be there (mostly like delivery stuff) its okay to drive on this road.
