And never giving enough information so that we can actually try to help.
i don’t understand.
why is this marked as “humour”?
EDIT: looks like i have to make it clear: /s
You forgot “I found this old letter/photo/painting, who can translate what is written on it?”
Lacks shoplifting/other obvious crimes
I do have a question tho, what’s the general vibe when it comes to people posting photos of Germany (sites, cities, nature, etc.). Is that something that annoys you or do you enjoy seeing it?
And the occasionally “you all are still racists and didn’t move past WW2” troll that is almost everytime someone who praises Erdogan in other posts.
“What’s dating like in Germany?” and its even more fun cousin “a German guy ghosted me. How could that be explained by German cultural mores instead of him just not liking me?”
It’s more like r/Germany bingo
So… What’s the answer to all these questions? Asking for a friend…
Hey, where’s “I just caught shoplifting” (It’s the first time I ever did it, **honest!** I’m not that kind of person!)
There are a few missing:
“I was caught shoplifting (first time I swear!), will I lose my residency permit?”
“I was caught torrenting a movie, but it was an accident because my brother’s best friend’s cousin accidentally switched on my computer for two seconds and the torrent auto started, do I still have to pay?”
“I ignored all those letters for half a year because they were in German and now my bank account is closed, how can I reactivate it and where can I complain that nobody explained to me that I have to read letters and pay bills?”
“I opted for travel insurance instead of proper health insurance because it was cheaper and now I had an accident an need rehab and they won’t pay.”
“My partner is an asshole/doing something weird, is this a German thing?”
“I signed a rental contract over two years I didn’t really read because it was in German lol, now I don’t want it anymore, can I just ignore it? What happens if I just move out of the country, will I get in trouble if I ever move back to Germany?”
“I didn’t pay a fine/rent/GEZ and just moved out of the country, not I’m back in Germany and my Schufa is shitty, why is that and where can I complain? I will pay everything this time I swear!”
“I want to move to Germany, where can I find a job where I don’t need German? No, I don’t have any diplomas, but I hate my country and I love German beer!”
[…]
Can confirm, I joined r/Germany to meet attractive German girls (24 – 38 FYI HMU) and see pics of awesome German architecture and landscapes. Yet all I see are posts from foreigners asking silly easy to Google questions.
I feel scammed.
jk, except for the pics part though
I like this subreddit because it gives me a chance to try to read posts in German, which I took in school fifty or so years ago. Then I check the translator app. It gives me a tiny glimpse at Germanys people sometimes, what life is like and what issues there are. I don’t speak up much, but thanks for the learning, or should I say danke.
You should come to r/Ireland
Mostly questions google could answer.
Seems to be a common theme on sub Reddit’s for nations.
Fluff and filler ?
You forgot: Stock photo of world famous castle
A favorite of mine: why is Germany shutting down all their nuclear plants? It’s such a great way of producing green energy with no downsides to the people mining the Uranium or future generations at all.
so much salt and pettiness here i love it hahaha
though for real, i do agree that most questions here can be answered much faster by OP copying the title into Google
Can somebody link me to the shoplifting posts? Sounds like a fun read heheh.
Edit: don’t link me anything. Already read most of them and it’s depressing.
Just a heads up for the mods, I think they should make a strict rule for these type of posts to be **only** posted on r/AskAGerman.
They can also add many restrictions by adding keywords like “Visa”, “marijuana”, etc. to avoid same and spammy posts.
Very true, but one for replies would be interesting as well. I wonder how you could capture the pretentious self-righteousness and greater levels of piety than a 16th century nun…
Wann Bubatz legal?
Go search the sub for the r/germany bingo card, there are a few more typically ones…
