The water takes a couple minutes to warm up after it's turned off. If I were to turn off the water for each task, showering would take even longer as I wait for the water temperature to normalize itself again
It's a reference to an infamous 4 panel comic strip called "loss". It's one of them ancient memes from 2008. If I remember correctly, the story of the comic is that the dude rushes in to the hospital to find his pregnant wife had just lost their baby or something. If you dumb it down enough and reduce the characters to lines, you end up with

I'm wondering how people take showers shorter than 20 minutes. My normal shower routine takes 30-40 minutes, even longer if I need to shave intimate parts. if I'm in a real hurry and skip shaving altogether I might make it in 20 minutes. I have long hair, so I need to apply shampoo, rinse, apply some more shampoo, rinse, apply conditioner, while it soaks I wash my face with gentle face wash, soap up my body, shave, then rinse.... It's a long process.
Congratulations, you just figured out how healthcare works in the rest of developed countries
Especially people who never lived in a communist state
Why is this in globalnews? How in the fuck is this relevant to / impacting anybody outside the us???
Starship troopers. Still have the mental Image of the bug drilling a hole in a dudes head.
Also robo cop. All I can remember is him (only head and torso) being hooked up to cables and medical computers and one of the scientists says "what a weird kind of pain he's having" or something like that
Omg YES. I am so tired of seeing bad news all the time, all it does is ruin your day. I come to Lemmy to unwind and escape reality, to look at some funny memes and forget my life for a bit, not to be constantly reminded of all the horrible things happening in the world.
Pretty good actually.
Germany: 4 years elementary school, after that the kids are divided into 3 school categories based on their performance:
Hauptschule 5-9, after that you either start apprenticeship for 3 years and learn a profession, or you continue with Realschule
Realschule 5-10, after that you either start apprenticeship for 3 years and learn a profession or you continue with Gymnasium
Gymnasium 5-12, after that you may apply for university. You can only enroll in university if you have completed grade 12 final exams (called Abitur)
In Germany kids are required to be enrolled in school or in apprenticeship by law until they turn 18
"zb krieg gegen die Ukraine" wat??? Lack gesoffen?
People of different races are essentially all the same race - human beings.
I am thankful for being born and living in Europe 🇪🇺
Thank you! Also "how it looks" and "what it looks like". I see people messing those up all the time
It's forbidden in Germany!
If you happen to go to a school where your parent is employed, you will never land in a class that your parent is teaching. Homeschooling is also forbidden by the way.
Wait... It's not a boxing movie? Haven't seen it yet for the same reason.
I used to browse reddit on rif for years before the official app even released. The official app is like "can I have a reddit, mom?" - "we have reddit at home" Reddit at home: takes an eternity to load even if it's a text post, keeps recommending me stuff I didn't sub to, full of ads, screen is filled with full sized images so it takes a lot longer to see posts that I'm willing to click on...
I miss rif. I used to lurk and look at memes on rif all the time, occasionally asking for advice on relationships or jobs or whatnot. I'm considering quitting reddit altogether, just found out about Lemmy. Is there a lotr memes or prequel memes community over here?
