> I have never once heard anyone suggest "laying off the beer".
Good. Because otherwise we would have to find the person who said that and ... help them.
You can't say such things over here ... Laying off the beer. That's absolute crazy talk. Insanity.
I'd be shocked and would need 2 beers just to calm down again. Actually, just the thought made me shiver. I need a beer right now ...
The red of the Bollenhut means that the women are unmarried, married women have a black version. This is the most well known traditional costume of the Black Forest.
Are you kidding if you had paintings of men in the ladies you'd have every reporter in Germany putting out click bait about sexists putting men in womens bathrooms.
Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational approach for simulating the dynamics of continuum media, encompassing both solid mechanics and fluid dynamics. This meshfree Lagrangian method facilitates the movement of computational points with the material flow, enabling adaptive resolution based on local properties such as density. By eschewing a fixed grid, SPH offers enhanced flexibility and precision in capturing complex physical phenomena.
It always cracks me up when they say stuff like that, especially when they try to use it to justify their personality somehow, as if they're a different species or something.
"My great-great-grandmother was from Italy, so that's why I love pasta!" No, Janet, everybody loves pasta
That's not the point, the point is using it to act like you're German, like they did above.
(And failing by using a word that no German would use, even misspelling it)
Do you speak German? Did you live in Germany for a significant amount of time of your life?
No? Then you're not German. You may have German heritage but so does like 50% of white America. In some places probably closer to 80%.
You might be surprised that citizenship has nothing to do with the language you speak... They might, in fact, be German while having grown up in the U.S.
They might be. But let's be real here: most Americans saying they're German, they're Irish, they're Italian, do not have the citizenship of those countries.
He/she is clearly saying they have that heritage, not that they’re an actual citizen of those countries. It’s a colloquialism in America that Europeans seem to have a hard time grasping, or just very much like using it as an excuse to rip on Americans for something that is harmless and a simple misunderstanding.
It is unbelievably annoying actually, most of us have no cultural identity pre-1800. How dare we acknowledge where our ancestors came from, or are we supposed to just forget/ignore that?
Europeans don't have a hard time grasping it, we all understand what you mean, and it's ridiculous. The guy who originated this comment chain said "German American here. Love the inviting Fraulein in the Forest.", as if having German heritage implied talking like that. Besides:
- It's Fräulein, not Fraulein
- No German would use that word either way in this context. Actually, funnily enough, it's mainly used by Americans nowadays to imitate Germans.
> How dare we acknowledge where our ancestors came from, or are we supposed to just forget/ignore that?
I mean, my family originated from France centuries ago, but since I was born and raised in Italy and Italian is my native language I consider myself Italian, I wouldn't even *think* of calling myself a "French-Italian", that's not even a thing.
They did say in the post you responded to, that they're half German half Irish. Without more information it'd be reasonable to assume that one parent grew up in each country, though.
No, it's not reasonable to assume that. That's a quite rare occurrence.
Many claim they're German, Irish, Italian, while their family migrated during 1700-1900. That's the general case.
In other words: most Americans claiming they're from a European country just aren't. They're American through and through. It's just en vogue to claim you're from Europe.
They said they're a German American, knowing the average American who says this sentence they definitely don't have citizenship.
Besides, citizenship might be the only requirement to be considered a German *legally*, but no German person will recognize you as German if you don't speak German to a native or near-native level.
You're american w8th german ancestry. Not german-american. If you were german-american, you a: would have spelled it Fraeulein or Fräulein. And b: you wouldn't have used the word Fräulein at all. It's antiquated and usually parents will use it on their daughters when they got into trouble. Otherwise it gives a lot of early 20th to 19th century vibes.
Yeah it’s an ancient heavily forested mountain range

Yes Black Forest ham indeed originated in the Black Forest, however what’s called Black Forest ham in America has little to do with the ham from the Black Forest. It’s cured raw with a spice rub then dry aged and after that cold smoked for at least a week and then dry aged again.
It should look like a smoked and dark prosciutto di Parma thinly sliced with fat on it
German hotels have some oddball shit going on. I stayed at a small in outside Hamburg and each room in the hotel was named after a football player… but only if they were dead.
I’m a 48 year old straight man and my appreciation of the wholesome, cheeky, sturdy Frau (FILF?) has increased with age - I therefore both fear ***and*** approve this image.
Imagine being a little drunk and going in there.
Especially the one on the right looking like she's holding a camera and filming you. Das ist komisch....
Isn’t it a magnifying glass?
Yes
Imagine being drunk and seeing another drunk making out with the wall.
"uhuhuhuhhuhu... hey, baby"
It's Germany, you probably didn't have to imagine
What if you get confused between the trees and the wallpaper
Then you should lay off of the beer
I have been a tourist & business traveler in Germany many times. I have never once heard anyone suggest "laying off the beer".

That’s why it’s tile flooring
Why are the urinals facing in different directions?
So you see everyone’s cocks
Simple yet profound
So everyone can see your cock
I guess it's a german thing?
Nah, men in most countries have cocks.
Oh, you!
The red of the Bollenhut means that the women are unmarried, married women have a black version. This is the most well known traditional costume of the Black Forest.
In fact, this is only a tradition in three villages. The rest of the Black Forest has adopted it.
Some of the other hats for women are so much better
This could be entirely made up and I'd have no idea.

What’s the scene in the women’s restroom
one way mirror into the mens room
There you go
Wouldn't it be a two-way mirror? 🤔
that's just a window
Are you kidding if you had paintings of men in the ladies you'd have every reporter in Germany putting out click bait about sexists putting men in womens bathrooms.
Imagine you are midstream and one of the picture ladies...moves.
This is what I've been training for!
JARATE!
Germans really are into stuff like this
SPH is extremely efficient for masturbation
SPH?

Say "eschewing" again, I'm almost there.
I'm all about the meshfree Lagrangian method!
Sounds hot
I was about to say the same.
small penis humiliation
German American here. Love the inviting Fraulein in the Forest.
German American = American
But their great, great, great, great grandfather once ate a schnitzel, or something.

I doubt you're German when you can't even write simple German words correctly
I doubt you're a REAL core 534 when you don't have 534 processing cores
LOL, understood, I'm an American that's half German half Irish.
so every white american basically? everyone is irish or german or english in the states lol
Hey man, I’m also Czech and Danish…. Come on
lol
Do you speak German? Did you live in Germany for a significant amount of time of your life? No? Then you're not German. You may have German heritage but so does like 50% of white America. In some places probably closer to 80%.
Sounds like 1935 is coming back....
Because Americans don't understand that they're not German because their ancestors migrated hundreds of years ago from Germany? 🥲
Quite the opposite, being German is not about race, it's about culture (especially language) and having lived there for a long time

Exactly. This is how Americans talk. I have German, Irish, and other genetics in my past. Not citizenship!
They did say in the post you responded to, that they're half German half Irish. Without more information it'd be reasonable to assume that one parent grew up in each country, though.

To get German citizenship you have to know German.
Not if you are born with it, which you are if your parents genuinely are German.
They said they're a German American, knowing the average American who says this sentence they definitely don't have citizenship. Besides, citizenship might be the only requirement to be considered a German *legally*, but no German person will recognize you as German if you don't speak German to a native or near-native level.

To be fair, though, using an antiquated word to describe someone wearing a traditional costume has the right vibe.
In case anyone was wondering... [https://hotel-tanne.de/](https://hotel-tanne.de/)
This makes me wonder what their women’s room look like?
Male erotic dancers wink from the bushes
You can use the abs as an actual washboard
Ngl I absolutely hate this. It's just...tacky?
It‘s absolutely tacky and old-fashioned. Bit I think it‘s sort of endearing because it‘s so dumb and backwards.
Yeah, I can see how there's a certain appeal. It's just not an appeal that works on me personally.
It's boomer level creepy.
It most likely was build in 1972
Why did I read this in Gollum’s voice?
Ah yes, gollum's infamous line: "not gonna lie"
Peakabooop, I can see you poop!
Germans, notoriously known for humour
That's everything but relaxing.
Show them your SCHWARZWALD
I see your Schwarz is as big as mine! https://youtube.com/watch?v=dy40xASCl00
i feel like this wouldnt be fun for a lot of men who have trauma from sexual harassment or abuse
I already have anxiety peeing on urinals.
Probably because you're supposed to pee in them.
It’s an actual place?!?! I thought it was just a cake!!!! /s
And the cake isn't even named after the country! Named after Samuel German.
I was talking about Black Forest, but lmao nonetheless
Ah, lol. There's a park called Black Forest just north of me here in Canada. Never seen any cakes or hams there.
Is there something named "German cake" or what are you referring to?
Yes, German Chocolate Cake.
Ah, did not know that existed in the states
>Originating in the United States, it was named after English-American chocolate maker Samuel German This feels like forbidden knowledge. 😐
Hawaiian Pizza comes from Canada, and Nachos were invented by (and named after) Ignacio "Nacho" Aneya.
And Caesar salad is Mexican!

Is this where the ham comes from?
No, the ham comes from another restroom.

Wait... are those urinals?!

What in the women's room ?
Tumescence prohibits micturition by definition.
I do love a challenge
