It’s a reference to an infamous 4 panel comic strip called “loss”. It’s one of them ancient memes from 2008. If I remember correctly, the story of the comic is that the dude rushes in to the hospital to find his pregnant wife had just lost their baby or something. If you dumb it down enough and reduce the characters to lines, you end up with

I’m wondering how people take showers shorter than 20 minutes. My normal shower routine takes 30-40 minutes, even longer if I need to shave intimate parts. if I’m in a real hurry and skip shaving altogether I might make it in 20 minutes. I have long hair, so I need to apply shampoo, rinse, apply some more shampoo, rinse, apply conditioner, while it soaks I wash my face with gentle face wash, soap up my body, shave, then rinse… It’s a long process.
Especially people who never lived in a communist state
Mmmm love me some anus pudding
Exactly! We moved out of commie blocks in early 2000s and recently went back to renovate and sell the apartment, and there were 10 centimeter gaps between the ceiling and the wall, where the block seemed to not properly stick together. It was terrible
I mean, I don’t know. I don’t have any positive memories or associations with commie blocks. We used to live in a commie block when I was little, before our family moved to Germany. I remember my parents telling me how everyone had to wait in line for 20 years to get an apartment. How difficult it was if you wanted to move out to a different part of the city, yet alone to a completely different city.
I remember everyone I knew sharing a small apartment for multiple generations - my grandparents used to share a two bedroom apartment with their parents, siblings, and the siblings spouses. My grandparents eventually got their own apartment when my mom was little, and by the time I came into this world 5 people were living in those same two rooms - my grandma, my parents, my brother and I. And everyone I knew was living in similar conditions. Only after moving to the west did I get my own room.
Here, I moved out of my parent’s apartment and I am now living on my own with my boyfriend. Sure, rent is expensive, but we can manage. Back then, there was no ‘moving out’, and as far as I know, there still isn’t. There is only moving to your in-laws apartment, or your spouse moves in with you. Can’t imagine sharing my space with my parents or inlaws, it would drive me crazy.
I remember leaving the house was extremely dangerous, so we mostly stayed inside - I was born in the 90’s. I remember the smell of toxic car gases as soon as we left the house. I don’t know how you can romanticize commie blocks.
It also works on Connect for Lemmy!
Starship troopers. Still have the mental Image of the bug drilling a hole in a dudes head.
Also robo cop. All I can remember is him (only head and torso) being hooked up to cables and medical computers and one of the scientists says “what a weird kind of pain he’s having” or something like that
Omg YES. I am so tired of seeing bad news all the time, all it does is ruin your day. I come to Lemmy to unwind and escape reality, to look at some funny memes and forget my life for a bit, not to be constantly reminded of all the horrible things happening in the world.
Pretty good actually.
Germany: 4 years elementary school, after that the kids are divided into 3 school categories based on their performance:
Hauptschule 5-9, after that you either start apprenticeship for 3 years and learn a profession, or you continue with Realschule
Realschule 5-10, after that you either start apprenticeship for 3 years and learn a profession or you continue with Gymnasium
Gymnasium 5-12, after that you may apply for university. You can only enroll in university if you have completed grade 12 final exams (called Abitur)
In Germany kids are required to be enrolled in school or in apprenticeship by law until they turn 18
People of different races are essentially all the same race - human beings.

I am thankful for being born and living in Europe 🇪🇺
It’s forbidden in Germany!
If you happen to go to a school where your parent is employed, you will never land in a class that your parent is teaching. Homeschooling is also forbidden by the way.
Wait… It’s not a boxing movie? Haven’t seen it yet for the same reason.
Love it when they consist only of consonants. Saw something along the lines of XYGDLFW the other day
The water takes a couple minutes to warm up after it’s turned off. If I were to turn off the water for each task, showering would take even longer as I wait for the water temperature to normalize itself again
