The average IQ is 100. That is not a lot and half of the population is below that. I’m more surprised how bad our education system is in filtering out the dumb people. Someone who is ‘not smart’ but has good memory and is diligent can make it frighteningly far in our society. Not to mention nepo babies who are a different kind of problem

“It would get old fast”? Op, I’m afraid you don’t have good friends. When I was a university student, I was in a shared apartment with two friends. It was great: you always had someone to do stuff with and group activities were much easier to schedule.

Now that I’m older it would be nice to easily check who’s up for something, spontaneously grill with everyone or simply sit together in the evening and talk.

My friends group still goes on vacation together from time to time and I love it. If your friends are only enjoyable in small doses… I don’t know… that sounds sad.

Also with a house of your own, everyone would have enough space to retreat if necessary.

Besides from the bad gardening that was mentioned by the other posts, I would love to live like this.

You know you have to get a cat named Anton now, right?

We had to read ‘Der Vorleser’ in which a 15 year old boy gets into a relationship with a 36 year old woman. A strange choice to force kids about that age to read (we were a bit older than 15, I think. But still…)

Breaks are unpaid because that was another way to minimize what workers have to be paid.

Businesses always look for ways to pay their employees less and only change practices when forced.

Without strong unions and support from politicians things tend to get worse and worse.

Too bad that we have neither.

I would say don’t visit the USA, but he was a citizen. Crazy.

All programs can be written with on less line of code. All programs have at least one bug.

By the logical consequences of these axioms every program can be reduced to one line of code - that doesn’t work.

One day AI will get there.

Google den text (vielleicht noch mit Lyrics dahinter).

I can smell this picture.

It’s simple: Germany always does what Israel wants.

You know, because of our history.

There are many people (especially the older generation) who think we as Germans can’t say anything bad about Israel no matter what they do.

Well, the people who get their way the most are rich people (duh) and old people (because they vote more than young people)

Not really a conspiracy but still concerning.
