You know that your timeline is screwed up, when you see this and aren't sure anymore, if it is real or made up.

The sentence is a strong indication that the complimenting person wants to do some small talk.
And is starting with a personal remark commenting on one's appearance.

I am a rather introvert person with some additional slight social anxiety issues.
Wouldn't directly interpret it as "danger", but would definitely get uncomfortable and depending on how good I know the person also anxious.

Ich wusste bis vor 10s noch nicht mal, was eine "Pfeffiflasche" ist... :-)

Sieht wieder aus wie eins der Dinge, für die ich zu südwestdeutsch bin, um sie zu kennen.

It is very hard to find something fitting, as the ü-sound doesn't seem to exist at all in the English language.
Perhaps the nearest I can think of is, if you take the "eo" sound as you speak it in "theorem", but try to make the "e" noise less high-pitched but make it sound fuller and somewhat deeper.

Three of our family's five previous phones would like to disagree, as they all began struggling with unreliable USB-C connections (also during charging 😒) already after one or two years of use.
And two of those weren't even used with a USB-headphone adapter...
Never had any similar problems with 3.5mm headphone jacks in the 10 years of smartphone usage preceding that. Just clean them once in a while from dust motes and you are fine.

That phone honestly looks great...
But one huge downside for many: It seems only to be available in North America... :-(

Back then I chose a Motorola because I was told I comes with the least amount of garbage pre-installed, is this still true?

This was definitely still true for the Moto G72 I am using for almost three years now, but had already changed for the Moto G54 my girlfriend bought 1.5 years ago.
This one had several unwanted and unremovable crap apps preinstalled. One forced itself to the screensaver with a button you often accidentally pushed that then started downloading and showing animated screens that led to online ads when you clicked on them. Very hard to disable and would return after each Firmware update...

I couldn’t find it in the list of models LineageOS supports

And being a device with a Mediatek chipset it is unfortunately very unlikely to ever appear there.

Oh my god, I totally love that news report!
Has some distinct Monty-Python-vibes!

Can someone please elaborate on the exploding whale?
Wikipedia is unusually cryptic on the subject in the article and Youtube won't let me open the linked videos for some reason...

lf they are successful in Austria carrying that name, I will also buy one.

Because then they have to be really, really good to compensate that...

Yeah, but I actually prefer libre wolf!

[ok, ok, letting myself out...]
