That’s the general problem for everyone who is not from US here on Lemmy: Everybody from US assumes that everybody knows we are talking about US. I would never say that “the ideal life is being born in 1947” and I was wondering why anyone would say that. That’s right after World War 2. Must have been a crazy time.

Fun facts about Germany: No fun in Germany. Get back to work!

However, German humour is very special. Me, as a German, I love it.

Nice!

Where are the boobies?

A better example might be “home” and “some”, where only one letter is different, but the pronounciation is completely different. There are many words like these. English doesn’t make sense at all.

To me, ICE is a high-speed train. I mean, I could look it up, check what it means in US. But at this point, I am not interested enough.

No hurries. Looking forward! :)

Yes, the Video game. I used to play it a lot when I was younger.

Nice! I’d love to see The Lemmings.
