Absolutely. When I go to a bar or restaurant, I prefer a place that doesn’t look like a co-working space. Also, when I see anyone using a laptop in there, I’m out.

Still wrong hemisphere.
I know this seems unlikely and sounds outlandish, but I actually managed to jump to another employer in 2020 who wasn’t shitty and paid more. Don’t lose hope, everyone. They may be few and far between, but they exist.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Be careful when choosing your profession
21·13 days agoWhen I was a little kid, one of those flying cunts stung my brother. So I vowed bitter revenge.
Over the years of my childhood, I caught dozens, if not hundreds of them with my net. Having caught one, I used to hold the net in front of a cross spider’s web, so that the wasp, triumphantly but mistakenly believing it had regained its freedom, had to fly straight into the web.
And then I watched the little asshole get destroyed. I’m pretty sure that to this day, I’m worshipped as a god by the local cross spider population.
As a German I can confirm all stereotypes about us are completely true. We hate each other and ourselves, we only eat bratwurst and drink beer and we have no sense of humour whatsoever. My desktop wallpaper is a portrait of David Hasselhoff. I’m always punctual and I don’t know how to party, which makes sense because I work all day anyway.
Hope this helps.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some lesser known facts and hidden easter eggs in movies/TV shows?
40·21 days agoThis man in Monty Python’s Life of Brian is none other than British comedy legend Spike Milligan, who, together with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe, starred in the 1950s radio comedy show “The Goon Show”, which all members of the Pythons cited as their most important influence.
By coincidence Milligan was visiting his old World War II battlefields in Tunisia where the film was being made. The Pythons were alerted to this and he was included in the scene being filmed that morning.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason
3·25 days agoStill sounds really great.
I’m German, and whenever someone here claims the British have bad food I mention all the fantastic chutneys and pickles you guys have over there. Particularly fond of a thing called “Glorious Garlic Pickle” by The Bay Tree. I wish I had the recipe because they don’t ship to mainland Europe.

2·25 days agoThe onions still do the heavy lifting, I guess, and “a few bottles of malt vinegar” sounds a little excessive.
I personally prefer pure caramelized onions without any other ingredients except a bit of salt, to be honest. Won’t keep as long in the fridge but is the most versatile.
Even then, a BMW would tailgate and flash its headlights at you on a German autobahn.
The sticker should also say something like “But don’t worry, we’re going to be evaporated in a huge explosion anyway, due to the gigantic release of energy when you crash into my car in a few nanoseconds.”

2·25 days agoOnion chutney. And it IS divine. Add it to burgers or steak and you will regret having wasted so many years without it.
Clever, I like it. I wonder how many people read it and have no clue what it means.
I would prefer a Monty Python style foot. Complete with the raspberry sound effect. More entertainment value.
My wife and I have decided that we don’t want any kids. So if someone wants them, we can drop them off tomorrow.
- It’s a rather lame joke. The premise has been used a thousand times already.
- It’s at the expense of someone’s disability. Ask yourself how often Peter Dinklage has seen this joke in his life.
You can joke about everything, but at least make a fucking effort.
You can make jokes about absolutely everything. But if you do it at the expense of others, and the touchier and more sensitive the subject, the funnier the joke has to be - so you better make sure it’s fucking hilarious and original.
People tend to miss that part. Especially the one about short people is always the same old punch line - the one along the lines of this post.
I’m not offended that OP made a joke about Peter Dinklage. I’m offended that it was a lame joke that I’ve seen a thousand times before.





For my fellow Germans (in case you don’t know the video yet).
