Krankenhaus - die Kranken (the sick persons from krank meaning sick) and das Haus (the house). A Krakenhaus could maybe be found at an aquarium as it’s a house of octopuses (release the kraken!). Octopuses are more commonly called Tintenfisch tho, which literally means ink fish.

My favorite English compound word is bookkeeper. 3 consecutive double letters.

It’s not a transliteration, it’s a direct translation. Transliteration is the conversion of one script into another and (Modern) English and German use the same script based on Latin. Transliteration would be дружба - druzhba.

By the way, in many German online communities, it’s a meme to take English expressions and directly translate them and is called Zangendeutsch. Just go to any of the ich_iel communities here and you can see it :)

Der größte Lump im ganzen Land

ist und bleibt der Denunziant!

Meiner ist zwar kurz, dafür aber extrem dünn. Meine große Stärke liegt darin, schnell zu kommen.

Weiter so!

I miss the time when not every cookie was a tracking cookie and they actually functioned as intended instead.

Finally we will find out what would have happened if Hitler had nukes. Can’t wait.

Not necessarily. You can plead guilty while still asserting innocence, for example the Alford plea. It means the defendant accepts the sentence, but remains adamant that what they did was okay according to their conscience.

In this case tho, the only alternative is to go free despite your wrongdoing, so it might be more of a “Fuck your pardon, orange twat” reaction.

It’s impossible to buy mastodon. Worst he can do is what Meta did with Threads which is hosting an instance and not federate lol

By increasing the price of avocado toast and keeping eggs as they are now, eggs are essentially cheaper. Crisis solved!

Some kid literally burned down the office of his local representative because of a 14-hour unavailability of TikTok. If that is not cold turkey brain damage then I dunno what else is.

Haven’t logged into my facebook since covid. Don’t have Instagram, WhatsApp or other social media crap. Lemmy (sometimes reddit, I have to admit) and Discord are the only “social networks” (I hate this term, it should be para-social network) I use.

and pass those “savings” on to the consumers.

More likely that they pocket those savings for extra profit and the prices stay the same.

At first I thought it was blown out of proportion, too. After watching the video, I can only say that if he did that in Germany, he would have been arrested on stage. Let’s see what topic-relatedly, profoundly knowledgeable Benito Mussolini, allegedly, had to say:

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

Ah, ok, thanks Benito! Enjoy your fascism that you voted for, America. I hope those egg prices will go down (they won’t).

Every morning I think it would be better if I didn’t wake up :(

So calling minorities “vermin” and making up shit about immigrants eating the pets of US citizens is a “tiny transgression”? No, that is text book nazi propaganda fueled by hate and endorsed by idiots.

Our license plates look like this: 2/3-letter city identifier - 1/2 letters you can choose - a 1-4 digit number you can choose. A friend of mine has the initials A.H. and was born in 1988. He wanted CITY - AH - 88. Registration did not allow it as it’s nazi dog whistling.

Dog whistling is very common to find like-minded fascists and nazis. Kind of a sad, pathetic life if you think about it.

At least she’s honest about it and not like those “I’m not racist, I even have a black friend” dopes.

3 cents/hr is 10% of 30 cents/hr. Hope I could help.
