I was on a podcast again! Talking mostly about German desserts, very controversial 40percentgerman.com/decades-from...

Decades from Home - A Podcast About Germany - Ep 186: Just Desserts — 40% German40percentgerman.com This week we find some odd bits of culture that are surprisingly popular in other countries. Case in point, British furniture, proving that even the most mundane items can hold cultural significance...

I made myself a Wärmflasche last night, it is JUNE

Tim is taking over the Germany bluesky account this week! Do swing by, maybe we can pick up some momentum on here

Hi! I'm Tim @tyteen4a03.bsky.social (he/they) and I'm a (currently jobless - hire me!) Software Engineer by trade. I've had a great run over at x.com/germany_iam and I'm here for the next 7 days to see how much momentum we can get for a Bluesky account (as Twitter is a dumpster fire rn) 1/11

nothing is wrong. there is no problem. but you can’t help but think that man outside the trolley window appears to have a lot on his mind.

so @honourablehusband.bsky.social did an amazing job of curating @iamgermany.bsky.social this week! if you want to have a go yourself, just write to me

This is Maximus and Maximus XL, the Roman Centurions guarding the Damascus Gate. After 11 months in the closet, they’ve come out. They spent yesterday choosing curtain material, and have applied to adopt a rescue puppy.

Yes, I’m a husband with a husband. And my hub collects decorative arts. (Stereotype, much?). I mean, just look at how gay our Christmas tree is! A closeted merman who thinks he can fake it by playing golf. Zebra in drag. And an ostrich wearing a boa, which, I guess, is made of ostrich feathers.

I have decided to buy a dishwasher. Looking for recommendations. My kitchen is tiny! So something compact

German's fondness for bundling English and German, often even in the same word, never ceases to amaze me. *stares at his BahnCard*

The fact that business owners can call Google Maps on the phone to update their operating hours feel very German to me.

Doing a few stretches, snarfing a döner, and plugging in the fax machine. Why? Because in half an hour or so @iamgermany.bsky.social (Somebody's got to be Germany and this time... it's me) Can he manage to be not weird for a whole week? Tune in to find out, or because fremdschämen is your thing.

And how was your Saturday night?

And we are live! 🤗

Guten Abend meine dudes. I am Jędrek, a middle aged Polish dad and husband who's been living in Berlin for a couple of years. I'll be your host for the week. I know it's technically not abend but it's dark out and that's enough for me.
