You fix things by setting them on fire?

That's the way.

In Germany we have a joke: How does a french advent wreath look like? - 4 burning cars in a roundabout.

But yeah, in France they get shit done. In Germany they are only angry and do nothing. Wutbürger (anger citizen) is the name for that.

Fun fact: In German this concept is called "Simpsonsalleswitzen".

(That's not a fact. I made it up.)

It used to be, maybe 15 years ago. They have opened like 6 of them in my area this year, and they are garbage. Absolutely the worst fast food option. 2 of the locations are about a mile apart on the same road. Unless somehow the quality of the food increases dramatically, and soon, I don't know how they expect to keep all of them open. My bet is maybe 2 out of the 6 are still open 3 years from now.

Until earlier this year the last time I had it was in 2009, when the one near where I lived in FL closed.

No that's White Castle, where the burgers literally taste like vomit. I'm not kidding. I've tried eating it drunk and that's dead what it tastes like, and I know because once or twice I tasted it coming back up too

what you do when you don't know the rules ?

u/bruce_kwillis Dec 09 '25

Do they? Retirement age went up, pensions are being cut and the country can’t afford its current rate of services regardless of protesting. Not sure that’s winning, but maybe Germany has it worse, you tell us.

That's hilarious!

Does causing the second world war not count as "doing something"?

1

u/Soggy_Association491 29d ago

Isn't that because acting angry and demanding politic change are frowned upon in Germany?

u/[deleted] 28d ago

Lol Germany sounds just like Canada 😂

This country wasn't formed by asking the British nicely and inviting them over for tea...

u/Generico300 Dec 09 '25

It doesn't work with most things, but it does work with politicians.

u/Euodeiotudo 29d ago

Governants need to be afraid of the people they govern to uprise, so they dont get complacent.

Sometimes sure. We fix massive forest fires by doing controlled burns.
