    Kann nicht bestätigen. Bin Kerl, würde höchstens vorgeben, mich zu freuen und es dann dem nächst besten Biertrinker weiterverschenken.

    Ich hab alle möglichen Arten Biere versucht, von Ale zu Lager, Weissbier, Imperial Stout und alles dazwischen und drumrum. Ich mag den Geschmack von Bier/Hopfen einfach nicht. 😐








  • Ich weiss nicht ob ich je eine passendere Antwort auf so etwas gesehen habe als der Gesichtsausdruck des Mannes in diesem Bild. Das ist kein blosser WTF-Ausdruck, das ist ein “meinem Hirn ist der Sicherheitsschalter rausgeflogen beim Versuch, den Idiotielevel des gehörten einzuordnen” Gesicht. 🤣








  • I’m not saying they’re fancy, just that there are more people on the planet that can’t speak English than people who can.

    Also, most people on the planet speak multiple languages. There are even less people on the world that only speak a single language than there are English speakers. So, if anything, speaking just a single language, even if it’s English, is the abnormal thing.

    Lastly, it’s not about “feeling successful”, as you put it, but about being able to communicate with more people and being able to enjoy more things.




  • Teddy Roosevelt opted not to shoot a bear that someone caught for him to shoot (because it would have been like shooting fish in a barrel; iirc the bear was immobilised). The press at the time got hold of this story, turned it into a story about pity/mercy (neither applied, the bear was killed anyway, just not by getting shot by Roosevelt) and an enterprising individual made a toy based on it, which became more popular than expected.

    The popularity of the toy was also a boost to Roosevelt’s popularity, which is why at least one presidential candidate at the time tried to get something similar going for himself, but possums just aren’t cuddly and a copy of a popular thing rarely manages to reach the heights of popularity the thing it tries to copy got.
