🧵 As the cold spell comes to an end with black ice, Hamburg doing what Hamburg does best: community, resilience, ...building small snowpeople. By everyone, for everyone. After someone squashed those on the bridge, people were back the next day & replaced them.

Zum Thema KI-Übersetzungen fällt mir ein, dass wir im Deutschen ja sogar eine Übersetzerin hatten, die einen so großen Einfluss auf die deutsche Sprache hatte, dass sogar eine Verbform im Volksmund nach ihr benannt ist:
Der Erikativ, benannt nach der großartigen Erika Fuchs

Here’s a fun top five: things that are consensus among historians but are essentially unknown by the public. Richard I, a bad king of England. Roman Empire, fell in 1453. Paul, more important than Jesus. Witch burning, a modern phenomenon not a medieval one. Britain last invaded in 1688. Yours?
As someone who wrote a dissertation on that damnable Frenchman; one can only hope.

50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning.
After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20 minutes milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out.

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

And as we're on the subject of cross-linguistic puns, I'm re-upping one of my nonsense poems, which is called GUT REACTION?...
English weather is wet
But German weather is Wetter
English children are kind
But German kids are Kinder
English mothers mumble
But German mothers Mutter
The English shout the word people
But Germans just quietly Menschen it
And English sausages can be bad
But a German sausage is the Wurst

I pick this as a minor celebrity interaction. The time I excitedly told a busload of people about spring-loaded duck penises and discovered Boba Fett was sitting behind me still looms very large in my mind.
