@redstar-winterorbit WHAT. Please elaborate

There isn't much to elaborate, it's all in the tags.

So I live in a pretty touristic town, and we get a lot of people wandering around oooooh-ing and aaaaaah-ing and not minding the bike lanes.

I know a guy who in his personal quixotic mission of finding a warning system to get distracted tourists out of his way when riding around town after experimenting with various bells horns and whistles in the end got from our equivalent of craigslist a set of TRAIN AIR HORNS. and installed them on the bike. To power them, he got an empty fire extinguisher and loaded it with compressed air, because the horns are normally powered by high pressure air. Then mc-gyvered everything on his old bike. As far as I know he only used them once for laughs, but I saw a video of it. Imagine an old postman bike crossing an intersection blaring like a freight train. Of course you only get one shot because then you need to recharge the extinguisher with air. But it's a glorious one shot.

The famous cartoonist Loriot was born in Brandenburg an der Havel.

Apparently he had a thing for pugs and one sketch he made was about a creature he thought up called “the wild forest pug”.

They put up „life-sized“ forest pug statues all over Brandenburg an der Havel in his honor.

When you hear a new song on the radio and you’re desperately trying to pick a notable phrase so you can google it later

Gather round, kids. Let me tell you a story from ye olden days because I am tumblr elderly. I used to DJ for a radio station. I played records and CDs and we had station IDs from bands on 8 track cartes. People would call me asking what songs were–but they had to mumble, sing, or play the song on an instrument. I had someone call me to ask what Smells Like Teen Spirit was when it was a single. They played it on an accordion. I forgot about it until a moment ago when I saw this post.

This is the internet now tho 😭💀

Omg so many additions since I last saw this post! 😂😂😂

It's funny but incredibly telling how entitled/ignorant/insensitive some of these people are... idk if it's an education gap or purposeful ignorance.

The really bewildering thing to me is that I remember when you needed to get up and pull a dictionary off the shelf, or visit a library to look up the facts you needed. Now people have all kinds of information literally at their fingertips and they can’t be bothered to use it.

Oh dear gods, it's gotten worse

When you know politics but no facts

don’t take people too seriously on the internet

This hits different when combined with that "Americans don't learn other countries exist till they're in 5th Grade" post from the other day.

Demily recently got another one lads

Also, I love that, in the sign language one, it seems like the last image might've been a gif of "fuck you," screenshot at the perfect time to let you know they were about to sign "fuck you"
