    Miniatur wunderland is legit one of the coolest attractions I’ve ever seen. I spent like 2hrs there with a group then I came back alone the next day and was there for like 5hrs. Instead of a dad (don’t have any kids AFAIK) I felt like a kid again, 100% worth the visit no matter your age

    No age requirement for this one. If you dont find it cool you are weird. Its not even about trains as much as insane world modeling and detailing. Its just 3D art that also happens to have a bunch of moving stuff like trains, cars, ships, planes, etc

    Trains are the superior mode of transport and really cool, I don’t feel old at all from seeing this

    That place is basically “model trains” on 11. Including flying and landing planes and huuuuge landscapes which mirror the real world in excruciating detail. It’s like 3D miniature find Waldo on a Soccer-Field.

      I’ve been there once. If we didn’t have to do other things that day I would have stayed in there to closure time.

    Middle aged folks on a sightseeing trip in Hamburg, I guess they went up the Elbphilharmonie as well, given that both are in the HafenCity.

    Dude I fucking love model trains it’s just one of those hobbies I never got into because it’s so damn expensive and space consuming.

    When the housing market crashes imma buy a big house with a big room just for model trains

      Not necessarily just trains but I’d really like to get into model making. One of several hobbies I’d love to do but can’t because I can’t afford a fucking house. My eyes will probably be too shitty to do it by the time that happens.

    So happy I managed to dodge model trains as a hobby, even while frequently visiting a hobby shop that sold them. I have waaaay too many expensive, nerdy hobbies as it is. Between gaming, watches, knives, camera gear and fountain pens, life’s expensive enough as it is :D

        I forgot LEGO; that’s also one of them :D

        You should buy a Lamy Safari fountain pen and a Casio GW-M5610U if you’re ever inclined to try those hobbies ;-)

    Is it just me or does this look a bit like the wolfenstein et map “rail gun?”\

    edit: I had a closer look and it looks a bit less like it now

    Man…I grew up loving this band and Chester but with their choice of new vocalist has me shying away. She’s done some fucked up shit. Doesn’t help that Chester’s kid came out with a letter about them :/

      Honestly, all I care about is the music and I think she sounds great. Didn’t she leave scientology anyway? Who cares

      Not saying what you should like or not, but she has come out with a statement about that whole ordeal.

      And it’s far less of a “big deal” than people make it out to be. Especially in comparison with the shit you normally hear about when it comes to celebreties.

        What a non-statement by her lol

        Funny how Lincoln Park fans have as poor taste in character and morals as they do in music, though!

                To asking what my beef was with Lincoln Park and their fans? I thought it was obvious, having a scientologist, rapist defending singer. Her statement didn’t meaningful address any of the issues.

                And even back when they came out, they had a white boy who couldn’t rap and music that was shitty even by nu metal standards.

              Lol, if you’re referring to me, you’re a bit off.

              I just consume enough random media to have read the story. It’s practically been unavoidable.

              So what is your beef with Linkin Park and their fans?

      Oh man, Chester’s son has issues.

      Quoting his instagram bio, “My father Chester Bennington did not die the way they said he did”
