German of the day: Tempolimit

That means speed limit.

And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.

‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis – Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing.

German of the day: Es gibt solche und solche

That means some are like this, some are like that.

Refugees in Germany, I mean.

The Left is anti-Israel?

No way. Who would have thought that?

And I thought I was a slow learner.

“I struggled with this decision for a long time, as I have felt a deep connection to the party over many years,” Büttner wrote in a letter to the party leadership, as reported by German media.

“But I have reached a point where I must acknowledge that I can no longer remain a member of this party without betraying my own convictions,” he continued.

Germany won’t miss its climate targets for 2026, 2027, 2028…

Because their industries are dying, or already dead.

And this is primarily due to its climate emissions targets.

Germany misses climate targets as emissions barely fall in 2025 – Greenhouse gases dropped just 0.1% last year as environment minister criticises lack of improvement.

Greenhouse gas emissions in Germany have again missed targets set by the Climate Protection Act and barely fell at all in 2025.

Emissions decreased by just 0.1% last year compared to the previous year, according to data from the German Environment Agency.

This must be a misstake

Get it? See the “miss” in the mistake?

No offense, ma’am. But German misses just ain’t what they used to be.

Syrian-Kurdish streamer Rose Mondy crowned Miss Germany 2026 – A Syrian-Kurdish gamer and livestreamer took the Miss Germany 2026 crown this month, highlighting how the long-running contest has evolved from a traditional beauty pageant into a platform for social voices.

German of the day: Weichei

That means a soft egg.

And that mean a wimp.

Running on wind turbines and solar panels?

Good luck with that.
