@@mats7492would say the average european starts with 13 to 14 and ends the career with 18 to 21. Or to say it different the 16 year old me could drink more than the "21 to 27 years old me" could drink combined 😅
@@soewenue Nope not even close. While it's pretty normal to have a small beer or a glass of wine (1, just 1!, ok!) on very special occasions (maybe 2-4 times a year) at the ages of 13-15, the real partying starts at something like 17/18 and lasts at least until the ages of 28-30+. I'm actually curious where you are from, starting with 13 and ending at just 21?.
6:49 OMG the "Those pencils probably don't paint the german flag, it just ends up looking like brown or something." Was the funniest unintenional political joke 💀😂😂😂
The Leaders of the German-Military-Party wore "Ocker". The correct one is: “pale yellow”. The lower Rank was dark-Ocker, which is a darker "Senf-Gelb" (Mustard Yellow). But we agree it can be described as "brown". The rest wore Black. The Pencil was actually made as a "German Pencil". The other ones are Rainbow-Pencils. But indeed will the black, red, yellow turn brown when you Kritzel-Kritzel on the paper. The interesting thing is, the Communists wore the same Green as the USA. 🙂
As a helper in a voting location, I can say that there were many people who had trouble folding that giant thing back together again. For all the non-germans, we had 34 parties to choose from, and the paper ballot was about half a meter long. You had to fold it in half, then the folds for the next steps became more clear. Keep that in mind for future elections.
@Finsternis.. Yes, they are folded, but when people unfold it, they rarely pay attention to the way it is folded. So after they studied the sheet of paper, and sometimes wrote a comment, or crossed off every party, they can't remember how it was folded, when they got it. (Yes, this happens. I've seen people write their name on it, because it said "Name" above the candidates.)
@@Matty0311MMS I see. I was just a bit confused, since I had the feeling that unless you go out of your way to remove the greases, the paper almost folds back on its own. But it is quite possible that I am thinking of the ballot of the municipal vote, which we in RLP had as well on the same day.
Ryan also didn't get the cable meme. Van Gogh cut of one ear, so he only has the yellow video cable and mono sound, Mozart went deaf early, so he just has the video cable, and Ray Charles is blind, so just the two audio channels.
16:40 you need to keep in mind that very commonly German Autobahn is only 2 lanes in each direction. Imagine your feeling in a car, you're allowed to drive as fast as you want, but in front of you, there's a semitruck going 50mph in the right lane, and on other one overtaking it at 50mph. Which can be resulting in the full highway being "blocked" for 1 or 2 minutes until their done overtaking. (Semitrucks have a general speed limit of roughly 50mph and that's enforced with built-in limiters AFAIK.)
But on a 2 lane Autobahn - because it is what it is - you should never drive more than 150kph anyway. And definitely not 260 in the night and then complain on the Internetz that you have to brake.
@steemlenn8797 "At night", of course not. My little car can't reach those kinds of speeds anyway. But I can understand the need for speed when the "fart" builds up in pressure and weighs more than its volume of air would.

@@Jackcaos Me neither. But I heard about it from my mother. Must have been around the end of 1948. She and her friends often stood at the fence of Tempelhof Airport and waited for Halvorsen. Food was allocated on food stamps. But I think it's in bad taste to make a meme out of it.
@@fipsvonfipsenstein6704 My Grandmother and Grandfather hated the jokes about the starving Germany. I have been through the material of that time as well and boy oh boy... Mainstream doesnt give away the real situation of Germany at that time. That was Hell on Earth 100%. So i would in a way agree that the Jokes dont hit home for everyone. But there are Jokes of Germans about the English and US-Americans from that time. They are quite interesting and not that bad at all. Its just amazing how the Germans took the rubbles and built up again. Literally, the Germans looked for food in all corners: Cars, Streets, Rubbles... there are storys of hunting Rats, Pigeons, Hedgegogs, bread crumbs ect... it was attempted to deliberately starve the Germans: Hunger-Winter 1947. Starving Germans did anything to feed their children. The Allied didnt give a... Then i analyzed Punjab and Bengal. There the British directly treated the indigenous like Animals, actually feeding them like such. We can claim that the British did, in a way, treat the Germans, after capitulation, like the Punjabis and Bengalis. I agree. Too much fun is made about the Germans of that time. Bad taste.
0:13 Being invited to a friend's house as a kid. For dinner they put plenty of food on the table. "You can wait in Jonas' room till we finished dinner." Many families in my childhood sent their kid's play dates home before dinner or wouldn't let them join family dinner unless agreed otherwise with their guest's parents. Luckily my mum and most of my friends' parents weren't like that but just rang each other before they started cooking asking if the other parents had any plans for dinner or if their kids could join the family dinner.
The elections we had were the European (parliament) elections. In contrast "Bundestagswahl" would be German national (parliament) elections. The ballot for the European election in Germany was huge, featuring 34 parties to choose from. You can find a picture of it e. g. on Wikipedia "2024 European Parliament election in Germany". The meme about folding it was eluding to how you were handed that huge/long ballot paper in a folded state, and it could be tricky to fold it up "correctly" the way it was after you're done making the vote. (It's certainly more relatable for people who had that thing in-hands themself.)
@moritzw.7030 You're not supposed to put them together into one envelope. Only the ballot goes into the blue envelope, and that blue envelope, together with the declaration, go into the red envelope.
wow, did not even think of that. I live in Luxembourg and we had only 6 Parties to choose from. But we HAVE to go vote by law, a fact that allways adds another aspect to all the discussions and election compaign before hand. You won't find any posters encouraging to even take part. (But there's no real lagal persecution if you don't. But with being forced to vote, some people hate that and may make their voice "not count" by invidualizing their sheet with insults or using a red pencil symbolizing blood (or even real blood).
@@mangantasy289 So what you are saying is, that you, at least by law, do not have democracy. Because the freedom to not vote is part of the "free elections" requirement of democracy.
@@Finsternis.. somehow. You have of course the right to give back an empty or unconform vote, but yes, you have to participate (unless you are minor, mentally unable or over 70 (still optional then). So forcing people that would usually not have a political opinion to take part in the elections could still be an issue. Like people may just give voices to the candidates they have heard of as a person, that present nicely, that are e.g "that former classmate of their kid" etc. without necessarily being aware of their political programs. Maybe more so than in other systems. I'm still unsure whether to find the mandatory voting a good or a bad thing.
"Explodierer" is a very germanized way of "boomer" (because boom like explosion). The german meme subreddit has the rule to write EVERYTHING in German. Even if you mean an English word, you translate that into German no matter how stupid it sounds. For example, reddit becomes Lasses. (As in "I have read it" which translates literally to "Ich laß es"). It's just a german meme thing. (Also memes are translated to MaiMai's. Because reasons.)
I love that, i basically stopped frequenting the German internet 10 years ago but there are some memes I can appreciate... Also noticed that they wrote Zuhausis instead of homies, just amazing
Trucks are limited to 90 kmh with a limiter in europe. But between trucks the limiter might have a small difference of 1 or 2 kmh in top speed. So if trucks overtake eachother they generally do so with a 1 or 2kmh difference blocking the highway for 10 minutes. And that creates an elephant race between the trucks.
Meanwhile are allowed to only drive 80, which no one really does to be fair. But in that picture, the Speed of 100 is a car, not a Truck and the other ones are those who need, most likely hard, to break for that one person driving only 100 to overtake it. Correcting myself because i DIDN'T think that there would be TWO of that Kind: You are right about your statement and i am sorry that i was to fast to answer 😀
17:00 We call it Elefantenrennen (elephant race). Trucks are slow and when they try to pass each other, it takes a lot of time and one of them blocks the middle of the highway for this time. So one Truck goes 80km/h and the other tries to pass with 83km/h.
He probably never learned that you need at least a 20km/h speed difference to overtake efficiently, like we have to learn in our driver's ed classes. Add that he would usually think in miles and would not have an intuition what a difference of only 3km/h would mean. And that he's probably used to highways having 4+ lanes. While every European looks at such a small speed difference, knows that there are probably just 2 lanes and starts to groan immediately.
18:36 as a kid befor knowing english, living in Germany, I thought Germany was some exotic country far away, like China. Lots of my toys had one of these two on them.
I should have posted this a couple of videos ago. In the german reddits there are many "literal translations" like "Punkt der Sicht" which your translator just translates normally to "point of view", but we actually never use these in normal conversations. The word "Explodierer" belongs in that category, but your translator doesn't translate it correctly, it should be translated as "boomer". We don't really have a german word for any generations, so we borrow your english labels, but as I stated, many german subreddits don't like using english borrowed words, and therefore, this happens.

Yes, you do so especially if you know that the actual people also try to fraud the vote. And no one cares about it after all. Because the "school class" only tried "to do something good" and the error was "minimal".
The stress must go on the first syllable and the G is pronounced like a K, but that are the only mistakes he made. There are some minor issues with vowel qualities though, but I'd have to go deeply into linguistics to explain them and the pronunciation is still very similar so that most people wouldn't notice, so I'll leave it there
Re: the toys from Taiwan meme. There's ALF there, that tv show was a thing in the 80s. Back then, the cheap stuff did not come from mainland China yet (China only got into the WTO in the early 90s). Back then, the cheap stuff came from Taiwan. Basically, "Made in Taiwan" was the "Made in China" of the 80s. Just like "Made in Japan" and "Made in Italy" were the "Made in China" of the 60s and 70s.
the box from the four disappointed things are really sad, there often only sew stuff inside and when you hope there a Cookies oder anything others sweet you only see this sew stuff xD
Explanation for the "Autobahn" one: Trucks aren't allowed to drive faster than 80 Km/h, which is 49 Miles (around 50). A lot of Trucks are driving around 85, sometimes 89, even overtaking other Trucks which would be called "Elefantenrennen" (Elephant race). So Overtaking a Truck with aroun 100 could lead to internal rage by people who are driving 150, 160 or even 250 and need to break for that person 😀 And the same could be applied to the Truck. A lot of Highways/Autobahn are only two lanes. So everyone has to break from 120 to around 80 and waiting for the Truck to overtake and going to the right site 😀
we do both, electronic or paper voting. if someone wants to vote electronically, you have to request access to the system to do so, or you just take the paper ballot that is being automatically sent to you to a nearby voting center.
14:12 This meme is actually genuis, it goes much deeper than just showing the old AV chinch cables: 1) left channel no sound (L sound cable missing) = Van Gogh (cut off par of his left ear) 2) no sound at all (both sound cables missing) = Beethoven (was deaf later on) 3) no video signal (yellow video cable missing) = Stevie Wonder (obviously blind)
Soooo. You got everything wrong with the voting. It was "europe election" - the kid is crying because the afd was that strong. now imagine it was a general election... :(
The AfD (politically comparable with a conservative Republican wing) got 15.9% and was second strongest. The overall vote was quite split into a lot of parties. Most times the European election has more left-leaning results, the general election is in overall balanced between left and conservative. This time the European election was balanced, too. Which meant around +6% to +7% boost to the conservative parties in total. The current Bundeskanzler is from the left-leaning SPD. So it also was a small protest sign by the voters, or a balance-of-power vote (vote in regional or European elections against the ruling party from the general elections.) The commentators made a big deal about it. The only special thing is that the times are over, when the political right had below 5% in Germany in total. It was always a specialty in Germany, but got more prominent after Merkel's and her party's move to the center and years of Grand Coalition governments. Politically Germany had immigrants before, e.g. from Italy or from Turkey. And German's international role, e.g. how to deal with Russia was questioned before. The same for industry vs. environment. I personally do not believe that the topics and the leanings of the people have changed so much. Only the times are over, when 2 or 3 parties (Volksparteien) represented the spectrum. And if you go back further in Germany's history, you find more parties again. So it was a special time, when there were few parties, not now, when there are more parties.
@5:50 what many people don't know, or have forgotten... an "overtaking maneuver" must be done at a significantly higher speed, "at least 20 km/h" faster, and in Europe trucks are limited to a maximum of 89 km/h
14:00 Picture 1: Van Gogh cut off his ear, so yellow (picture) and red (audio mono). Picture 2: Bethoven was deaf. So video only. Picture 3: Ray Charles was blind, so left and right channel of audio only. (red/white) That's it for the color coding of cinch cables. Simple.
2:43 Sometimes I think that it never occurs to people that an arriving train might actually have people aboard who might actually want to get off. They just think: "Oh, good, the train had arrived, the doors open, so I can get in." And when they find someone else coming towards them from out of the train, they are genuinely surprised and don't immediately know what to do.
That is why in Japan they paint at the ground where to stand so that people can leave the train first. But in Germany you probably would have some Queerdenker standing in the middle of the "keep empty" zone because they don't do what the government want and if they are forced to pay GEZ they have the right to stand wherever they want.
It is not only trains, but elevators and escalators too. How I hate people stepping off an escalator and immediately stopping to see which way they need to go while me and dozends of people get shoved into them.

4:06 On Sunday June 9th there was an European Union election. We voted the representatives for the European Parliament. The two big winners were the leading opposition party CDU (Christian Democratic Union) who got 29 seats and the right wing party AfD (Alternative for Germany) got 15. A lot of the first and second time voters (aged 16 to 25) voted for them. So there's clearly a right wing tendency amongst the younger folks who suffered the most during the Covid lockdowns and are especially disapointed by the current government. The Green party only got 12 seats. Aparently climate protection is seen a lesser priority since the start of the Ukraine war. People seem to focus more on national security.
The folding of your ballot can be tricky, because it can be very long. For the european election the german voters could choose between 35 different partys. And the envelope in which you have to put your ballot in feels always a little bit too small.
Small correction. There were "only" 34 parties on the ballot. I heard the number 35 before, too, but I sat in our voting room as a helper, and could look at this gigantic thing the whole day.
@@Matty0311MMS we are both right. There have been 34 parties on the ballot, but 35 parties have run for Europe. The reason for that mystery is the csu which runs only in Bavaria and the cdu running in the rest of germany
Use Promt. That translator translates entire texts correctly. My mom once asked me to urgently translate a paper for her so that she can study, because I'm good at English, I literally didn't have the time to think about proper translations, so I just punched the text into Promt and copypasted it into a word document and my mom got a passing grade. Which is good actually, because she sucks at English.
Naja, ich habe grade Promt ausprobiert mit "I am a mender of soles." (Shakespeare, Julius Cesar). Heraus kam "Ich bin ein Mender der Sohlen." Schlegel/Tiek meinen dazu: "Ich bessere schlechten Wandel.", womit die Doppeldeutigkeit soul/sole erhalten bleibt. Und "Mender" ist mir im Deutschen auch nicht bekannt.
Exploder = boomer. ich_iel uses germanized denglish words. Usually we use "boomer" in German as well, but to boom is to explode, thus it's called "Explodierer"

1st: - Being a guest at your friends house in your childhood - At noon, there's a hearty/yummy meal being served - You can wait in Jonas' room until we've finished eating 5th: Me and my homies leaving today FOR SUPER EUROPE 9th: -It's good to restrict driving to not be faster than 160km/h on the autobahn -It's even better to voluntarily not drive faster than 130km/h -And the psychos on the autobahn like going 150, 250 even more, and obstructing traffic when overtaking trucks by going barely faster than them most (full r3tard) 10th: The multi-colored pencils dont leave a true mix of colours, you dont get the explosion of colours you might expect. The box with cookies (my assumption) would be that there's sewing stuff or similar in it, not actual sweets/cookies. These metal containers oft-times do not get thrown away and get used to store all kinds of stuff. So as a child you might see that, open it exitedly and get disappointed. No idea on the minecraft thing The spring board does not grant nearly as much lift as you expect 19th: The "oder" can be translated to "or", in other cases, but in this it would more appropriate to use "right?" I assumed Ubisoft has disappointed many times in the recent future, so the advice is to not pre-order their games and wait for reviews before buying. 23rd: Instead of "exploder", the author was probably going for "boomer" as a translation 24th: Sparkasse (lit. savings treasury) is a german bank 25th: It's a common bane on the autobahn that truckers, who are to drive in the right-most lane at 80km/h (truck speed limit) often overtake each other, blocking a second lane during a very lengthy overtaking process because of a very small speed difference. 3km/h is like half a persons walking speed. 26th: The meat in the bun is Leberkäse. It is a specialty of southern germany and consists of super finely minced pork, beef and bacon paste, formed into a loaf and than baked till it developes a crust. Bakeries often offer it and will cut off slices (like from a loaf of bread) and put into a bun (like a hotdog). The slice is about 1 inch thick or so and usually topped with mustard. It's a very simple, convinient and popular food to go for early in the morning before arriving at work or during lunchtime. Basically the guy is so rich, he bought the entire loaf.
4:12 Unfortunately, the AFD kind of won. That's the meaning of the meme. "Those results... And now imagine if it were a general election..." Unlike you Americans, even the minorities get power, it's just that the parties who get more votes also get more power. And the AfD in the EU elections got more votes than the progressive left, with a quarter of votes, which is very concerning.
The "Alf"/Taiwan joke is very 1980ies. In "these days" mainland China wasn't providing any(!) of the goods they produce today. If you got a toy car - especially the cheaper ones - you would have a look at the base plate (cast iron) there would be an "inscription" "made in Taiwan". Or Hong Kong. If not produced somewhere in Europe or the US. Taiwan then was the "workshop for cheap goods" in the 70ies to the 90ies. With absolutely no "mainland China" producers "in sight" - or even in existence. In the beginning 1980ies Shenzen was a fishing village with a population of estimated 30.000 (no digits missing) - until it was made a "special economic zone". And rose to economic relevance in the late 1990ies to 2010er years. And size / numbers of people and production sites. Taiwan managed to upscale the value and complexity of stuff produced there to the tech, chips and else high tech they are selling now. In a certain way - they had to. With about 23.5 mio citizens in Taiwan - there was absolutely no way to produce goods at the same price and amount when mainland China with its population of over one billion then decided "we want to start production and export". The hundreds of millions of migrant workers especially form the rural parts of the country were the biggest resource of cheap labour in the world. But again - 80ies and 90ies - mainland China hat a very low number factories for consumer goods. Almost none of them exporting outside the country. As we all know - that changed dramatically over the last 30 years. With mainland China facing the problem that the "factory workers" (and more qualified positions) had - and have - a keen focus on the education of their children - and there are millions of quite to very good educated young people. All competing to a quite limited (for numbers and capacity) unis and job opportunities. In China. And to my perception - "worldwide". So many industries - of the US - who provided "decent payed jobs" in the 1950ies to 1970ies. If your work depends mostly on your muscles - and manual skills - Taiwan is one early warning. It doesn't matter that much who produces the goods - but if the demand is still there (and enough money). Business goes on.
13:45 is one of the best if you are a 1990 kid, but too many people don't understand it. At first, you need to know the collor meaning. Yellow is for the picture on TV. White is for the right sound and red is for the left sound. Now you should understand what they are missing.
The same as Tyler in all the videos, is it supposed to be some sort of compliment or are they just that clueless? Some things they think are the same everywhere (but are not) some things they claim are so unique (and certainly are not).
1:20 That was exactly my experience as a child. You're at a friend's house at lunchtime, they're eating lunch and you have to wait hungry upstairs until they're finished. Because: Germans don't feed other people's children!!! If you want food, go home to your parents!
19:55 we got clubs and bars which do not close over the weekend. You can literally go there 24h ;) If you're 16 or 17 you can stay as long as you want in a club, as long as you got paperwork from your parents and a person which is 18 years old who is their “guardian” ;)
1:21 it means 1. Visit a friend 2. at lunch time they make a lot of lunch 3. You Can wait in Jonas room till we finished eating 4. You Can wait in Jonas room till we finished eating
basically meaning: During childhood while visiting a friend. At lunch we serve good meals(US dinner type meals) You(the visitor) can wait in Jonas(your friend's) room, until we finished eating.(meaning Jonas invited you to his house, but not for eating lunch.
The German Autobahn rules are, that Trucks use the left lane, we only overtake on the right and the further to the right you go the higher the speed, meaning for a typical 3 lane highway, overtaking a truck with 100 is being done on the middle lane so the following cars have to either slow down or try to get in the high speed lane, which is a annoying situation to many. i hope that makes sense to you. 😅
For some more context on the election ("Wahl") topic. On 9th of June there was the european union election. We elect which parties we want to rule europe and unfortunatly, in germany, the most (but not the majority) of people elected AfD (far right/right extremists). And many elect the CDU (conservative right). And some of the memes refers to "Bundestagwahl", which is the major election in germany for the people who rule our country. So most of the memes say basically "we cry if the EU election outcome was the outcome of 'Bundestagswahl'" because this would result in a far right/extremist right and a conservative right Leadership of germany. We all have seen where this leads to around 100 years ago and most of us wont repeat it.
19:26 This one is a bit more subtle :D Being out (without a parent) for 16y olds is allowed between 5am and midnight. So this picture must have been taking when they *started* partying :D Another interpretations is that in Germany the rules are just more relaxed in general and younger people party more. That may be true, or it could be just more visible because they don't have to hide it.
The first one: when you were a kid and hang out over at your friends house, you witness the friends parents putting exuberant amounts of food on the dinner table. Likely you are already salivating... but then they go like "nah, you can hang out here but don't assume we would feed you. Go into John's room and wait until WE have eaten. (And you can stay hungry or go home...) Which is mean of course.

17:17 In Europe Trucks with more than 3,5t max weight are allowed to reach a max. speed of 80kmph... but 89kmph are tolerated. So European trucks are technically limited to this speed. If one truck overtake an other, the speed difference is not too high which means it takes some minutes... In whole Europe this is ok, and usually the other drivers have the patience, but not in Germany... they honk and rage behind the truck😂😂😂😂
You need to be at least 10 km/h faster than the overtaken vehicle to not cause a traffic jam. If you overtake with less than + 10 km/h it looks like this and takes for ages. In germany we call that "Elefantenrennen". 17:15
Trucks are only allowed to do 80 km/h on the Autobahn and they are technically not allowed to overtake each other. There's always some truck drivers who try to do it anyways, but because a fully loaded truck physically can't go that much faster, especially once they are out of the slipstream of the truck infront of then, they end up occupying the middle lane (where they aren't supposed to be) for way too long, slowing down and endangering other vehicles. This is sometimes called an "Elefantenrennen" (elephant race) because having two oversized vehicles barreling down the highway next to each other is a bit like watching an elephant stampede.
As for the one about overtaking trucks at 100: In order to overtake a truck,you have to move over from the right lane to the middle lane, but people on the middle and left lane generally drive a lot faster than the trucks on the right lane, so if you overtake a truck at just 100 km/h, you're gonna be driving way slower than the people on the middle lane and force them to either break or pull over to the left lane. Essentially, if you want to overtake anyone on the Autobahn, you need to make sure that there is space on the lane left of you and accelerate to match the speed of that lane in order to not get in peoples way.
@@darthplagueis13 overtaking a truck with 100 is completely legal as long as there is enough distance to the next car that it does not get dangerous. It's the next cars job to either brake or change to the next lane if it's too fast. There is not right for being a "Tiefflieger".
5:48 17:01 not to be confused with the NCC-1701 Enterprise Moin, Ryan, don't know if there are other truckers from Germany watching commenting what Im about to write: overtaking Trucks at 100 on the highway is prime display of idiocy because trucks are BY LAW limited to 80 and most do drive 90, these numbers are speed in kph. 150 on the highway is slightly above the most efficient speed bracket for cars, that would be at around the 135 mark. 190 and above is the land of lunatics or planes
7:00 In minecraft you get a portal to another dimension called the Nether when you place obsidian bricks like this and light the center with flint and steel. Now some folks put fake gameplay videos online where they did the same with glowstone blocks and placing a block of water in the center to create a portal to a heavenly dimension - as an opposite to the Nether which represents hell. But this wasn't implemented in the game and of course didn't work. They were just trolling. Oh, and the trampolin thing looked like it would catapult you in the air but only gave little to no bouncing effect. A classmate of mine tried to jump an obstacle with such a thing but instead slammed into the obstacle injuring his crotch.
Personally I like it when someone is pronouncing "ä", "ö" and "ü" correctly. "ä" is pronounced an english "a" (e.g. like in the word "and") "ö" is pronounced like the "o" in the english word "word". "ü" is pronounced like the "u" in the english word "lurk(ing)" (bad example, but couldn't find anything better) Ö and Ü are very similar so another, so they don't make a difference. Also when german words are ending on an e, you have to pronounce it (looking at 4:35); and it's pronounced like an "ä" (ä and e mostly sound the same in german)
Going to vote, and giving an invalid ballot brings something, too. Because an invalid vote is still a vote, and counts towards the total number of votes, which means the percentages of all parties are lowered. If every non-voter would have counted as an invalid vote, the percentages of all parties in Germany would have been lowered by almost half.

I was a helping with the counts at the polls two weeks ago. You should have seen the ballots in my city (we had three polls at once) and two of them were MASSIVE because of the sheer amount of parties and candidates.
This creature on the laptop is a so-called Charger, a Terminid from the game Helldivers 2. The same game that the above meme is about. They were squeezed on a farm for the E-710 (read it upside down) they produce, which is used to utilize some sort of hyperdrive. They have broken out and are waging a bit of war against us, but we are crushing them in the name of democracy.
European trucks are required by law to have a speed limiter. So overtaking another truck with almost no speed difference is pretty pointless but it does block the passing lane for quite a while.
5:00 As far as I know, there was a small controversy around the big streamer Montana Black, who wrote a long comment in which he (in short) complained that it was OK to drive at 250 km/h in the left lane of the highway and nobody should slow him down when he drives into the left lane to overtake at "only" 130 km/h. However, over 50% of Germans think that there should definitely be a speed limit, hence the new meme which says that it is OK up to about 160 km/h, it is smart to drive 130 km/h and it is very stupid to drive 150, 250 km/h or to overtake trucks with only 100.
You gotta drive on the autobahn once and have a truck infront of you overtaking another truck with like 1-3 khm diffrences it takes like minutes and you come with 250+ and you break for the truck and just watch him overtake and take forever but hey he needed to overtake cause he could go a mikrobitfaster ahahaha
You can't vote through a voting machine in Germany, because we are so much behind the time, that we actually use the fax to communicate with state offices.

As a helper in a voting location, I can say that there were many people who had trouble folding that giant thing back together again. For all the non-germans, we had 34 parties to choose from, and the paper ballot was about half a meter long.
You had to fold it in half, then the folds for the next steps became more clear. Keep that in mind for future elections.
I haven't voted in person in ages. Are they not prefolded like the ones for mail-in votes?
True. I can relate. It took me a minute I guess to fold it back together. This Paper is long!
@Finsternis..
Yes, they are folded, but when people unfold it, they rarely pay attention to the way it is folded. So after they studied the sheet of paper, and sometimes wrote a comment, or crossed off every party, they can't remember how it was folded, when they got it. (Yes, this happens. I've seen people write their name on it, because it said "Name" above the candidates.)

16:40 you need to keep in mind that very commonly German Autobahn is only 2 lanes in each direction. Imagine your feeling in a car, you're allowed to drive as fast as you want, but in front of you, there's a semitruck going 50mph in the right lane, and on other one overtaking it at 50mph. Which can be resulting in the full highway being "blocked" for 1 or 2 minutes until their done overtaking. (Semitrucks have a general speed limit of roughly 50mph and that's enforced with built-in limiters AFAIK.)
Oh yes, the dreaded "Elefantenrennen" (elephants race).
But on a 2 lane Autobahn - because it is what it is - you should never drive more than 150kph anyway. And definitely not 260 in the night and then complain on the Internetz that you have to brake.
@steemlenn8797
"At night", of course not. My little car can't reach those kinds of speeds anyway. But I can understand the need for speed when the "fart" builds up in pressure and weighs more than its volume of air would.
And they just do it to annoy people and to not be bored while driving 80 all the time.

The elections we had were the European (parliament) elections. In contrast "Bundestagswahl" would be German national (parliament) elections.
The ballot for the European election in Germany was huge, featuring 34 parties to choose from. You can find a picture of it e. g. on Wikipedia "2024 European Parliament election in Germany". The meme about folding it was eluding to how you were handed that huge/long ballot paper in a folded state, and it could be tricky to fold it up "correctly" the way it was after you're done making the vote. (It's certainly more relatable for people who had that thing in-hands themself.)
It's annoying that the Envelopes aren't wide enough. Both for the Oath and for the Ballot
@moritzw.7030
You're not supposed to put them together into one envelope. Only the ballot goes into the blue envelope, and that blue envelope, together with the declaration, go into the red envelope.
wow, did not even think of that. I live in Luxembourg and we had only 6 Parties to choose from.
But we HAVE to go vote by law, a fact that allways adds another aspect to all the discussions and election compaign before hand. You won't find any posters encouraging to even take part.
(But there's no real lagal persecution if you don't. But with being forced to vote, some people hate that and may make their voice "not count" by invidualizing their sheet with insults or using a red pencil symbolizing blood (or even real blood).
@@mangantasy289 So what you are saying is, that you, at least by law, do not have democracy. Because the freedom to not vote is part of the "free elections" requirement of democracy.
@@Finsternis.. somehow. You have of course the right to give back an empty or unconform vote, but yes, you have to participate (unless you are minor, mentally unable or over 70 (still optional then).

Like people may just give voices to the candidates they have heard of as a person, that present nicely, that are e.g "that former classmate of their kid" etc. without necessarily being aware of their political programs.
Maybe more so than in other systems.
I'm still unsure whether to find the mandatory voting a good or a bad thing.

"Explodierer" is a very germanized way of "boomer" (because boom like explosion). The german meme subreddit has the rule to write EVERYTHING in German. Even if you mean an English word, you translate that into German no matter how stupid it sounds. For example, reddit becomes Lasses. (As in "I have read it" which translates literally to "Ich laß es"). It's just a german meme thing. (Also memes are translated to MaiMai's. Because reasons.)

Ryan needs a German sitting beside him to explain some of the memes :D
Trucks are limited to 90 kmh with a limiter in europe. But between trucks the limiter might have a small difference of 1 or 2 kmh in top speed.
So if trucks overtake eachother they generally do so with a 1 or 2kmh difference blocking the highway for 10 minutes. And that creates an elephant race between the trucks.
Very annoying, when there are only two lanes for each direction.
Meanwhile are allowed to only drive 80, which no one really does to be fair. But in that picture, the Speed of 100 is a car, not a Truck and the other ones are those who need, most likely hard, to break for that one person driving only 100 to overtake it. Correcting myself because i DIDN'T think that there would be TWO of that Kind: You are right about your statement and i am sorry that i was to fast to answer 😀
@@Matty0311MMS Which is why many of them have signs telling trucks can't overtake during rush hours for instance.
Im pretty sure theyre limited at 80. But ige seen some going 100+
@@D3nn1s they are allowed 80 but are limited to 90.
17:00 We call it Elefantenrennen (elephant race). Trucks are slow and when they try to pass each other, it takes a lot of time and one of them blocks the middle of the highway for this time. So one Truck goes 80km/h and the other tries to pass with 83km/h.
He probably never learned that you need at least a 20km/h speed difference to overtake efficiently, like we have to learn in our driver's ed classes. Add that he would usually think in miles and would not have an intuition what a difference of only 3km/h would mean. And that he's probably used to highways having 4+ lanes.
While every European looks at such a small speed difference, knows that there are probably just 2 lanes and starts to groan immediately.
18:36 as a kid befor knowing english, living in Germany, I thought Germany was some exotic country far away, like China. Lots of my toys had one of these two on them.
I should have posted this a couple of videos ago. In the german reddits there are many "literal translations" like "Punkt der Sicht" which your translator just translates normally to "point of view", but we actually never use these in normal conversations.
The word "Explodierer" belongs in that category, but your translator doesn't translate it correctly, it should be translated as "boomer". We don't really have a german word for any generations, so we borrow your english labels, but as I stated, many german subreddits don't like using english borrowed words, and therefore, this happens.

Explanation for the "Autobahn" one: Trucks aren't allowed to drive faster than 80 Km/h, which is 49 Miles (around 50). A lot of Trucks are driving around 85, sometimes 89, even overtaking other Trucks which would be called "Elefantenrennen" (Elephant race). So Overtaking a Truck with aroun 100 could lead to internal rage by people who are driving 150, 160 or even 250 and need to break for that person 😀 And the same could be applied to the Truck. A lot of Highways/Autobahn are only two lanes. So everyone has to break from 120 to around 80 and waiting for the Truck to overtake and going to the right site 😀

Soooo. You got everything wrong with the voting. It was "europe election" - the kid is crying because the afd was that strong. now imagine it was a general election... :(
The AfD (politically comparable with a conservative Republican wing) got 15.9% and was second strongest. The overall vote was quite split into a lot of parties.
Most times the European election has more left-leaning results, the general election is in overall balanced between left and conservative.
This time the European election was balanced, too. Which meant around +6% to +7% boost to the conservative parties in total.
The current Bundeskanzler is from the left-leaning SPD. So it also was a small protest sign by the voters, or a balance-of-power vote (vote in regional or European elections against the ruling party from the general elections.)
The commentators made a big deal about it.
The only special thing is that the times are over, when the political right had below 5% in Germany in total. It was always a specialty in Germany, but got more prominent after Merkel's and her party's move to the center and years of Grand Coalition governments.
Politically Germany had immigrants before, e.g. from Italy or from Turkey. And German's international role, e.g. how to deal with Russia was questioned before. The same for industry vs. environment. I personally do not believe that the topics and the leanings of the people have changed so much.
Only the times are over, when 2 or 3 parties (Volksparteien) represented the spectrum. And if you go back further in Germany's history, you find more parties again. So it was a special time, when there were few parties, not now, when there are more parties.
I just could not breath from the "Girls with a time machine" joke.
That shit got me in tears.

That is why in Japan they paint at the ground where to stand so that people can leave the train first.

4:06 On Sunday June 9th there was an European Union election. We voted the representatives for the European Parliament. The two big winners were the leading opposition party CDU (Christian Democratic Union) who got 29 seats and the right wing party AfD (Alternative for Germany) got 15. A lot of the first and second time voters (aged 16 to 25) voted for them. So there's clearly a right wing tendency amongst the younger folks who suffered the most during the Covid lockdowns and are especially disapointed by the current government.
The Green party only got 12 seats. Aparently climate protection is seen a lesser priority since the start of the Ukraine war. People seem to focus more on national security.
The folding of your ballot can be tricky, because it can be very long. For the european election the german voters could choose between 35 different partys. And the envelope in which you have to put your ballot in feels always a little bit too small.

Use Promt. That translator translates entire texts correctly.

25th: It's a common bane on the autobahn that truckers, who are to drive in the right-most lane at 80km/h (truck speed limit) often overtake each other, blocking a second lane during a very lengthy overtaking process because of a very small speed difference. 3km/h is like half a persons walking speed.
26th: The meat in the bun is Leberkäse. It is a specialty of southern germany and consists of super finely minced pork, beef and bacon paste, formed into a loaf and than baked till it developes a crust. Bakeries often offer it and will cut off slices (like from a loaf of bread) and put into a bun (like a hotdog). The slice is about 1 inch thick or so and usually topped with mustard. It's a very simple, convinient and popular food to go for early in the morning before arriving at work or during lunchtime.
Basically the guy is so rich, he bought the entire loaf.
2:50 right now in germany is the EM, many people around europe use the german puplic transportation and because of that everthing gets very crowed
"EM" is the german abbreviation for "Europa Meisterschaft" (european championship).
I've actually never seen the english abbreviation for it.

Unfortunately, the AFD kind of won. That's the meaning of the meme.
"Those results... And now imagine if it were a general election..."
Unlike you Americans, even the minorities get power, it's just that the parties who get more votes also get more power. And the AfD in the EU elections got more votes than the progressive left, with a quarter of votes, which is very concerning.
The "Alf"/Taiwan joke is very 1980ies.
In "these days" mainland China wasn't providing any(!) of the goods they produce today.
If you got a toy car - especially the cheaper ones - you would have a look at the base plate (cast iron) there would be an "inscription" "made in Taiwan".
Or Hong Kong.
If not produced somewhere in Europe or the US.
Taiwan then was the "workshop for cheap goods" in the 70ies to the 90ies.
With absolutely no "mainland China" producers "in sight" - or even in existence.
In the beginning 1980ies Shenzen was a fishing village with a population of estimated 30.000 (no digits missing) - until it was made a "special economic zone". And rose to economic relevance in the late 1990ies to 2010er years.
And size / numbers of people and production sites.
Taiwan managed to upscale the value and complexity of stuff produced there to the tech, chips and else high tech they are selling now.
In a certain way - they had to.
With about 23.5 mio citizens in Taiwan - there was absolutely no way to produce goods at the same price and amount when mainland China with its population of over one billion then decided "we want to start production and export".
The hundreds of millions of migrant workers especially form the rural parts of the country were the biggest resource of cheap labour in the world.
But again - 80ies and 90ies - mainland China hat a very low number factories for consumer goods.
Almost none of them exporting outside the country.
As we all know - that changed dramatically over the last 30 years.
With mainland China facing the problem that the "factory workers" (and more qualified positions) had - and have - a keen focus on the education of their children - and there are millions of quite to very good educated young people.
All competing to a quite limited (for numbers and capacity) unis and job opportunities.
In China.
And to my perception - "worldwide".
So many industries - of the US - who provided "decent payed jobs" in the 1950ies to 1970ies.
If your work depends mostly on your muscles - and manual skills - Taiwan is one early warning.
It doesn't matter that much who produces the goods - but if the demand is still there (and enough money).
Business goes on.

i love it when you say something is soo german and then its the most basic thing that is the same in basically every country (other than the us)
The same as Tyler in all the videos, is it supposed to be some sort of compliment or are they just that clueless? Some things they think are the same everywhere (but are not) some things they claim are so unique (and certainly are not).
1:20 That was exactly my experience as a child. You're at a friend's house at lunchtime, they're eating lunch and you have to wait hungry upstairs until they're finished. Because: Germans don't feed other people's children!!! If you want food, go home to your parents!
Hi Ryan. Im watching you from Germany and i really like how you laugh about us. Funny but respectful. Go on. Laughing with you.

If you're 16 or 17 you can stay as long as you want in a club, as long as you got paperwork from your parents and a person which is 18 years old who is their “guardian” ;)
1:21 it means 1. Visit a friend
2. at lunch time they make a lot of lunch
3. You Can wait in Jonas room till we finished eating

basically meaning: During childhood while visiting a friend. At lunch we serve good meals(US dinner type meals) You(the visitor) can wait in Jonas(your friend's) room, until we finished eating.(meaning Jonas invited you to his house, but not for eating lunch.
The German Autobahn rules are, that Trucks use the left lane, we only overtake on the right and the further to the right you go the higher the speed, meaning for a typical 3 lane highway, overtaking a truck with 100 is being done on the middle lane so the following cars have to either slow down or try to get in the high speed lane, which is a annoying situation to many. i hope that makes sense to you. 😅
For some more context on the election ("Wahl") topic. On 9th of June there was the european union election. We elect which parties we want to rule europe and unfortunatly, in germany, the most (but not the majority) of people elected AfD (far right/right extremists). And many elect the CDU (conservative right). And some of the memes refers to "Bundestagwahl", which is the major election in germany for the people who rule our country.
So most of the memes say basically "we cry if the EU election outcome was the outcome of 'Bundestagswahl'" because this would result in a far right/extremist right and a conservative right Leadership of germany.
We all have seen where this leads to around 100 years ago and most of us wont repeat it.
19:26 This one is a bit more subtle :D
Being out (without a parent) for 16y olds is allowed between 5am and midnight.
So this picture must have been taking when they *started* partying :D
Another interpretations is that in Germany the rules are just more relaxed in general and younger people party more. That may be true, or it could be just more visible because they don't have to hide it.
The first one: when you were a kid and hang out over at your friends house, you witness the friends parents putting exuberant amounts of food on the dinner table. Likely you are already salivating... but then they go like "nah, you can hang out here but don't assume we would feed you. Go into John's room and wait until WE have eaten. (And you can stay hungry or go home...)
Which is mean of course.

17:17 In Europe Trucks with more than 3,5t max weight are allowed to reach a max. speed of 80kmph... but 89kmph are tolerated. So European trucks are technically limited to this speed. If one truck overtake an other, the speed difference is not too high which means it takes some minutes...
In whole Europe this is ok, and usually the other drivers have the patience, but not in Germany... they honk and rage behind the truck😂😂😂😂
Einfach immer nur geil sobald du versuchst deutsch zu reden.
You need to be at least 10 km/h faster than the overtaken vehicle to not cause a traffic jam. If you overtake with less than + 10 km/h it looks like this and takes for ages. In germany we call that "Elefantenrennen". 17:15
Trucks are only allowed to do 80 km/h on the Autobahn and they are technically not allowed to overtake each other.
There's always some truck drivers who try to do it anyways, but because a fully loaded truck physically can't go that much faster, especially once they are out of the slipstream of the truck infront of then, they end up occupying the middle lane (where they aren't supposed to be) for way too long, slowing down and endangering other vehicles.
This is sometimes called an "Elefantenrennen" (elephant race) because having two oversized vehicles barreling down the highway next to each other is a bit like watching an elephant stampede.
As for the one about overtaking trucks at 100: In order to overtake a truck,you have to move over from the right lane to the middle lane, but people on the middle and left lane generally drive a lot faster than the trucks on the right lane, so if you overtake a truck at just 100 km/h, you're gonna be driving way slower than the people on the middle lane and force them to either break or pull over to the left lane.
Essentially, if you want to overtake anyone on the Autobahn, you need to make sure that there is space on the lane left of you and accelerate to match the speed of that lane in order to not get in peoples way.
@@darthplagueis13 overtaking a truck with 100 is completely legal as long as there is enough distance to the next car that it does not get dangerous.
It's the next cars job to either brake or change to the next lane if it's too fast. There is not right for being a "Tiefflieger".
@@steemlenn8797 I never said it was illegal. It is however stupid and potentially dangerous.
You don't wanna be a Mittelspurschleicher.
13:55 The one with van gogh, Beethoven and Charles killed me. 🤣😂😂
There is a mandatory speed limiter in trucks above x ton weight, which limits the top speed at 85km/h.

Moin, Ryan,
don't know if there are other truckers from Germany watching commenting what Im about to write:
overtaking Trucks at 100 on the highway is prime display of idiocy because trucks are BY LAW limited to 80 and most do drive 90, these numbers are speed in kph.
150 on the highway is slightly above the most efficient speed bracket for cars, that would be at around the 135 mark.
190 and above is the land of lunatics or planes

7:00 In minecraft you get a portal to another dimension called the Nether when you place obsidian bricks like this and light the center with flint and steel. Now some folks put fake gameplay videos online where they did the same with glowstone blocks and placing a block of water in the center to create a portal to a heavenly dimension - as an opposite to the Nether which represents hell. But this wasn't implemented in the game and of course didn't work. They were just trolling.

Personally I like it when someone is pronouncing "ä", "ö" and "ü" correctly.
"ä" is pronounced an english "a" (e.g. like in the word "and")
"ö" is pronounced like the "o" in the english word "word".
"ü" is pronounced like the "u" in the english word "lurk(ing)" (bad example, but couldn't find anything better)
Ö and Ü are very similar so another, so they don't make a difference.
Also when german words are ending on an e, you have to pronounce it (looking at 4:35); and it's pronounced like an "ä" (ä and e mostly sound the same in german)
your German pronunciation improved significantly 👍
Voting does bring something. Together for democracy and against the right.

Going to vote, and giving an invalid ballot brings something, too. Because an invalid vote is still a vote, and counts towards the total number of votes, which means the percentages of all parties are lowered. If every non-voter would have counted as an invalid vote, the percentages of all parties in Germany would have been lowered by almost half.

I was a helping with the counts at the polls two weeks ago. You should have seen the ballots in my city (we had three polls at once) and two of them were MASSIVE because of the sheer amount of parties and candidates.
just so you know the truck isn´t even driving two MPH more then the other one.
This creature on the laptop is a so-called Charger, a Terminid from the game Helldivers 2. The same game that the above meme is about. They were squeezed on a farm for the E-710 (read it upside down) they produce, which is used to utilize some sort of hyperdrive. They have broken out and are waging a bit of war against us, but we are crushing them in the name of democracy.
European trucks are required by law to have a speed limiter. So overtaking another truck with almost no speed difference is pretty pointless but it does block the passing lane for quite a while.
13:46 That one went quite over your head. Hint: It has to do with the people on the left and the connectors missing on the right.
5:00 As far as I know, there was a small controversy around the big streamer Montana Black, who wrote a long comment in which he (in short) complained that it was OK to drive at 250 km/h in the left lane of the highway and nobody should slow him down when he drives into the left lane to overtake at "only" 130 km/h.
However, over 50% of Germans think that there should definitely be a speed limit, hence the new meme which says that it is OK up to about 160 km/h, it is smart to drive 130 km/h and it is very stupid to drive 150, 250 km/h or to overtake trucks with only 100.
Someone is not playing Helldivers 2... 😂
You gotta drive on the autobahn once and have a truck infront of you overtaking another truck with like 1-3 khm diffrences it takes like minutes and you come with 250+ and you break for the truck and just watch him overtake and take forever but hey he needed to overtake cause he could go a mikrobitfaster ahahaha
Edit; sometimes its only two lanes or construction and then only 2 lanes
