As much as I like European alternatives, Hans im Glรผck is fucking disgusting

~~The CEO is also an AfD-Fan.~~

Welp, apparently he was bought out last year.

I think I saw one of these when I visited Berlin but didn't try it. Is the food just crap or?

It is pretty expensive (+20โ‚ฌ per person) and tastes way worse than McDonalds

Don't buy Louis Vuitton or anything from LVMH, this MF Bernard Arnault was at Trump's swearing-in ceremony. Richest man in France, not paying taxes, sending goons to ~~intimate~~ intimidate journalists and supporting right wing politicians. This is the enemy from within.

[โ€“] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm guessing you mean โ€œsending goons to intimidate journalistsโ€?

Else I'm imagining them being called โ€œgoonsโ€ for a very different reason ( อกยฐ อœส– อกยฐ)

[โ€“] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, sorry about the typo ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

No problem, I gave a good snort when I saw that.

[โ€“] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Definitely needs Paulaner on the drinks list. It's the best Spezi you can get (and thus a good Mezzo Mix alternative).

Then again, Spezi apparently is rarely a thing outside of Germany, and the Germans already know that the Coca Cola Spezi is not the best one, soooo....

They have Lemonade, too?

This is good

Apart from Nordsee I've never even heard of any of these German fast food places.

[โ€“] brotundspiele@feddit.org 16 points 1 year ago

Don't worry you haven't missed anything. The best fast food place in Germany still remains the local Dรถner restaurant.

[โ€“] Gieselbrecht@feddit.org 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nordsee is part of a Luxemburgian Holding belonging to Theo Mรผller, who expressed an affinity to the right wing AfD. I personally would not support them.

[โ€“] dynamoMaus@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about Hans im Glรผck and AfD?

[โ€“] Gieselbrecht@feddit.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hans-Christian Limmer was an owner (previously founder of Backwerk), but he was bought out after he participated in the right extremist meeting in Potsdam last year, which is not ideal but I would consiser it a thing of the past. Or do you refer to anything else?

[โ€“] dynamoMaus@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago

No was asking for exactly that. Thanks

Maps: also ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Magic Earth, ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ช Organic Maps. Both based on Openstreetmap, the collaborative open source map.

Peertube at the moment is complete trash

[โ€“] sp3ctre@feddit.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's unattractive because it's empty, its empty because its unattractive. This vicious circle must be broken!

But of course this will take longer because there is no money for content creators.

[โ€“] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I disagree. You can find plenty of content creators on PeerTube. Checkout the pinned post in !peertube@lemmy.wtf.

[โ€“] whyalone@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

On trendings there are videos from 9 months ago and even 6y ago. So either i am doing something wrong or the content is low.

Edit; it seems i have to browse platforms, seems a bit complicated if you want to attract youtube viewers

[โ€“] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

PeerTube can be rather fragmented. Most PeerTube instances donโ€™t federate with much. Thatโ€™s why I made that pinned post in !peertube@lemmy.wtf to help people choose a proper instance.

Might be a good idea to revisit and update for better grammar. Staerke sounds like strengthen rather than strong, (verb vs adj) which, if this is the case, sounds wonky. More natural would be Deutschland staerken, or starkes Deutschland. There's a few other bits that sound unnatural also.

[โ€“] remon@ani.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Staerke sounds like strengthen rather than strong

Yeah, that's what it's supposed to mean. There is nothing wrong with the grammar and it sounds perfectly natural.

[โ€“] Gieselbrecht@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the original template, it even says "stรคrkes Deutschland, stรคrkes Europa" which doesn't make sense at all

On another note: I have to admit that the second person imperative form you critizise here - "stรคrke Deutschland!" - reminds me of Nazi era propaganda posters in a certain way (like "Fasse dich kurz" for short conversations on public phones - to mention one of the more harmless ones), I don't really like it. But maybe that is just my association.

Couldn't figure it out but perhaps that's why i felt it's off. Mightn't be incorrect per se like someone else points out but not something I'd chose to caption something.
