  • People crinkling paper bags on trains.

  • Iceland pretty much runs on thermal energy. You can also use hydroelectric dams, tidal energy and wind energy. And a lot of countries are using that instead of fossil fuel. Of course, there's lunatics like Merz, who wants to literally replace renewables with nuclear, but the less said about that b-st-rd the better.

  • Germany has just ditched green energy.

  • Here in south western Germany they will literally interrogate you if you ask for a vegetarian dish. It's insane. The dish is always Käsespätzle, by the way.

    When restaurants were posting their Valentine's menus online not a single one offered a vegetarian menu.

  • Quite a lot of the time. It's pretty damn awful, actually.

  • There is no off ramp for other diets either. You stop, you gain weight.

  • Most of the risks are caused by rapid weight loss and not eating properly, not the medication itself.

  • They want people to disagree with each other instead of sticking together.

  • Every night. It's a feather pillow, I toss it in the air and let it fall on the bed a few times. I think I learned that from watching Downton Abbey.

  • Go visit Chester Zoo, where the enclosures are so big that you often can't see the animals. It's deliberate, they want their animals to be able to hide.

    Both zoos in Berlin are a fucking disgrace, though.

  • I saw one in Amsterdam called Koekblik (biscuit/cookie tin).

  • Divide and conquer. There is irrefutable evidence that they've been interfering in elections etc for more than 12 years. I learned this at a national security conference in Germany.

  • "Before" had WW2 and WW1. Now it's that but with nukes and the Internet.

  • When I said I was a single mum I was told "Shoulda kept your legs shut, love."

    I'm a widow.

  • Save the best part for last when my brothers aren't around to steal it. My family thought it was hilarious when they did that.

  • Shame Covid doesn't work like that. You just get it 5 times a year because it's a different strain, you didn't become immune last time or you lost immunity after a couple of months. Minus 2 IQ points (on average) every time.

    And even the "normal" viruses like flu can cause problems for years.

  • GngngngngngGNGNG! - the cat.

  • Most people wore sweatshirts and cone shapes jeans. So no, no seventies clothing. I got laughed at for wearing a shirt that was distinctly seventies.

  • Corsets were awful: only when you tight laced, and the majority of women didn't. Corsets and stays were designed to support the boobs and smooth out clothing. That's it.

    No ankles: yes ankles. Skirts were usually above the ankles for practical reasons.

    Feudalism bad: yes and no. It meant everyone had a job and housing. Homelessness didn't exist until the end of feudalism.
