      It is when the children dont want to eat their meals when mothers feed them the mothers often tell the children: "here comes the airplane" when they approach the childrens mouth with the spoon. This often works to get the children eating their meals as they should. Isnt there someting similar being done in the US?

    Quick tip for the future: if a word isn't translating, it's probably because it's not an actual word. In this subreddit, people will just translate English words, that exist in the German language, just to drive home the point of it, being a German subreddit.
    So, if you wanna know what these people are talking about, just pick these words apart and enter them into the translator seperately.
    A few examples:
    Winzigweich --> Winzig+weich = tiny+soft --> Microsoft
    Du-Röhre --> Du+Röhre = You+Tube --> CZcams
    Wildschweinwarzen --> Wildschwein+Warzen = Boar + Warts --> Hogwarts (You figured this one out on your own, in a previous video.)
    If this doesn't work, then they're probably using a regional dialect. In this case there's not much you can do.

For people who lost a loved one back than it must have been traumatising. My first thought with Ryans reaction was "oh no, he didn't lose someone there right?"

    14:13 this meme refers to a moroccan song for children called "A ram sam sam", which for some reason, is really popular in Germany.
    The most memorable line in the refrain goes "guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam." Since German children tend not to understand, that guli is arabic for "tell me", they just associate it with the closest German word: "Gulli", which translates to "manhole cover".

      I noticed it similar with time cards.
      We have single ride (or rather 2 hr) tickets, day passes, week passes, and month passes. After 3 rides a day ticket becomes cheaper, after 3 days a week ticket becomes cheaper than buying day tickets, and after 3 weeks a monthly ticket becomes cheaper than buying week tickets.
      And there are obviously bulk discounts, 4 and 10 ticket bulk save about 7% compared to a single ticket. And a subscription for monthly cards saves about 12% compared to individual monthly tickets.
      Which means if you take 20 rides per month, a monthly subscription is cheaper than buying individual tickets.

      Ein Faktor für die schlechte Qualität ist die Tatsache das neue Schienen oder Schienen zu ersetzen von Staat übernommen werden, Wartung aber von der Bahn gezahlt werden muss. Und da man möglichst viel Profit machen will werden die Strecken absichtlich kaputt gefahren ohne Wartung damit man selber nichts zahlen muss.
      Wäre die Bahn ein reiner Staatsbetrieb wäre sie deutlich besser dran.

    Feuer & Flamme starts this year with its 8th season (now in Duisburg). Season 1-2 were in Gelsenkirchen and 3-7 were in Bochum. All three cities are in the Ruhr metropolitan area (Ruhrgebiet). WDR (West German Broadcasting - public-broadcasting institution for North-Rhine-Westphalia) is the producing institution of the series.
    And it hit its expectations so well, that it will have its spin-off next year. So yes, I think it's worth a try. It shows the work (and social life on the fire departments) of firefighters without any narrator or off-voice. Only firefighters are commenting it.
    The joke here is its popularity and the changing fire departments. Also the Ruhr-Area has many many fire departments ^^

    10:41 A "Verein" isn't just a club in the sense that people meet to follow common interests. Many are "eingetragene Vereine" (abbreviation "e.V.") which are "registered clubs", many of which are organized in large "Verbände" (unions/associations). The largest "Verbände" are for football, turnen (roughly translatable as sports or athletics) tennis, alpine (alpine sports, climbing, etc) and shooting.
    Yes, the german shooting association is the fifth biggest sports union in germany, ahead of handballo, golf, horseriding, lifeguarding, swimming and table tennis.

    The power sockets become even more impressive if you see the plugs.
    The same plug that (CEE 7/7) goes into the german/korean socket (CEE 7/3) also has a hole to take the french ground pin (and is thus compatible to french CEE 7/5 sockets),
    fits into the danish socket (top right, buh without connecting earth)
    It also y takes the ungrounded european Type C / CEE 7/16 europlug, and is compatible to a wide vareity of russian sockets ( one shown in themiddle right)
    And the pin distance is the same as on the swiss/brazilian ICE 60906-1 / Type N socket (bottom right) and the italian 1A Type L socket (bottom left) so the socket accepts those plugs if they are ungrounded.
    Extra bonus: the plug is reversible. So if the cable goes the wrong way, you can just unplug it, turn it around, and route the cable on the other side.

A lot of commercials in Germany are designed to be unobtrusive under the assumption that pleasant sounds and voices would allow them to bombard you without picking them out as a target of ire.
    Seitenbacher Müsli is going the opposite direction. They advertise their overpriced pedestrian oats with grating repetition and abrasive vocal performance. And the worst thing is that it works.

    Many of the texts written there seem to me not to be written by native speakers.
    As a first example today: "geistLiche Einschränkungen" instead of "GEISTige Einschränkungen".
    The first means spiritual restrictions (as you have translated it correctly for yourself)
    What is meant ("geistige") means restrictions in thinking.
    In this case: stupidly made sockets.

    5:40 indeed that would be illegal, because the landlord blocks the emergency exit.
    It's one thing if you live alone in your own house and have to take responsibility for yourself. But the landlord would have responsibility for the safety of the house. They even took care of fire alarms here.
    It is a different thing when the house rules (and renting contract) mandate that the house door is to be locked at night. Usually to prevent burglers and general strangers from hanging around in the house.
    But even then you get a key. You get a key to the house, a key to your apartment, a key to your mailbox, and keys to all other places that might be attached, like a basement room, a backdoor to the bicycle room, a shared garbage bin, a shared laundry room, the gate to the backyard parking area, etc.

And thr pictures are from the german series “Sendung mit der Maus” which is a classic in most german families where they explain things children have questions about (for example how a train is constructed) with some sketches of the “Maus” in between

    Oh, E-Bikes are real bikes. And for the most part they assist the rider, not do all the work for you. But they're especially useful when driving fast and/or over hilly terrain. But the assist is also helpful for less athletic people. (like seniors, overweight, injured, disabled, etc) You can get around, you can use your body, but you have some help.

    On that day, many people don't do anything and just laze around, some party and drink. And a lot of people are dancing into May. Big parties start on April 30th from 8/9 p.m. and last until the next day, May 1st.
    Sometimes you plan to do something useful on your day off, like doing housework, but then you don't do it and you're just lazy.
    Germans know how to work hard. But we also know how to party hard and lounge hard. but everything is always strictly separated.

    Brushes (not hairbrushes) work well on rugs and carpets. Before vacuums, rugs would be hung up and beaten with an object that looked a little like a tennis racket. The first of May is a holiday, here, people don't work and stores are closed (bars and restaurants are open).
    The verb "umstellen" can have two meanings: "to change" (e.g. the diet) but also "to put on different spots" (therefore, chocolate now on the right hand side and chips on the left, the contrary of how it was before).
    For the "cheap apartment", I guess he only has found a girlfriend with a place where he can stay, not an actual apartment for himself. Not to give him keys and lock him in would obviously be illegal.
    "Moin" means "good morning" (short for "guten Morgen"), but in more northern parts of Germany, it's used as a greeting all day long, whether it's morning, afternoon or evening. "Servus" is a greeting used in Bavaria, mostly, and in Austria.
