oh scheiße

This isn’t quite how I imagined the second coming of Christ.

What makes this funnier is that I’m pretty sure that’s at the station for cologne cathedral

Remembered to check at the station today and report that

The structural stigmata are still there

Why are the 4 holes?? Maybe 5?

It’s his daily commute.

Australian travels to Cologne to watch a hole in a ceiling

A man from Australia traveled to the German city of Cologne to sightsee a hole in the ceiling of an underground station caused by an incident in 2017 that has become a worldwide meme.

During the carnival celebrations, Cologne turns into a state of exception with people walking around in the weirdest imaginable costumes. A man dressed up as Jesus Christ is nothing special, but if he carries a giant cross, he may turn some heads.

In 2017, a man dressed up as Jesus Christ became famous as he traveled up the escalator of the underground at Cologne Central / Cathedral station, crashing his giant cross into the ceiling. He managed to pull the cross free, but it had pierced a hole into the ceiling. The incident was filmed and uploaded to Youtube where it had gained at least 16 million views as of now (the original video has been deleted).

Meanwhile, the hilarious scene must have made it all the way to Australia. A man known on Reddit as towerbooks3192 was haunted so much by this meme that he said to his girlfriend that he wanted to do a pilgrimage to this very site, particularly after he heard rumors that the hole still exists. His girlfriend then surprised him with tickets for the journey. The man said on his Reddit post that it was the happiest day of his life.

Indeed, he is apparently not the only one to take a pilgrimage to the holy hole in the ceiling. Frequntly, people are seen taking pictures of the section of the ceiling that includes the hole. Maybe this is the reason why the city of Cologne (or the local public transport company) has not repaired the hole yet, although it must be said that the city has many more tourist attractions making it worth a journey and stay for several days.

[Photo ID]: a Duolingo story in German, wherein Eddy asks “Moment. Du denkst, dass ich als Löwenbändiger arbeite?” (in English: “Wait a minute, you think that I work as a lion trainer?”), to which Junior responds “Ja. Ich habe im Schrank deinen Lederanzug und deine Peitsche gefunden” (English: “Yes. I found your leather suit and your whip in the closet.”)

Ya know the english language is generally fine and all but y'all just don't have decent words for some german essentials

For example I will never not hate the english word for Brötchen

I mean I know if I say either bread roll or bun people are gonna generally understand what I mean but neither of those words actually encompass the full range of german Brötchen

To me this is a bread roll:

And this is a bun:

But both of those words do not feel correct for any of these things:

Those are proper Brötchen and calling them bread roll or bun just feels so wrong

"Klimafreundlich, unkompliziert und günstig mit Bus und Bahn unterwegs sein – das bedeutet das 49-Euro-Ticket für Millionen Menschen in Deutschland. Doch damit könnte bald Schluss sein. Verkehrsminister Volker Wissing (FDP) will für das Erfolgsprojekt die nötigen Finanzmittel nicht mehr bereitstellen. Mach ihm jetzt klar: Das 49-Euro-Ticket muss bleiben!"

Hey Leute, habt ihr zwei Minuten? Dann unterzeichnet doch bitte eben kurz. 🙏😁 Dankeschöön!!

Der Kondukteur im Zug hat uns gerade mitgeteilt, dass der Zug Verspätung haben wird, weil Kälber auf dem Gleis oder in Gleisnähe seien und man daher langsamer fahren müsse um zu vermeiden, dass es Kalbsgeschnetzeltes gibt
