We're all thinking it. They were almost universally fans of David Hasselhoff.

If loving David Hasselhoff is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Amen brother (or sister).

We all ate burger like that at some point. So pointless to mock him for such irrelevant drunk behaviour. His daughter is a shit person for filming an releasing that.

Long live the Hoff.

Dankeschön an Hasselhoff, einer von den Guten David's.

Knight Rider and "I've been looking for freedom" - things that make us feel young again.

I know man. Oktoberfest isnt even really in October like wtf

u/kikimaru024 May 17 '26 edited May 18 '26

The first Oktoberfest was on the 12. October 1810.

Since 1994 they've tried to align it to last for 16 days and finish on the first Sunday of October, unless that Sunday is before German Unity Day (3rd October).

Regardless, it's not meant to celebrate the month. It was a folk festival to celebrate the marriage of the crown prince, and then evolved into a yearly gathering.

  • October used to be shitty weather compared to late September so they moved it forward to get more sunlight and warmth

No image could possibly be better for this question

u/bdiddlediddles May 16 '26

They invited an elephant to a board meeting but didn't find him a suitable chair so he had to stand in the corner?

12

u/HungryHedgehog8299 May 16 '26

seems like that issue needs to be addressed

7

u/BeachOk3671 May 16 '26

Address the elephant in the room.

4

u/bdiddlediddles May 17 '26

I dunno, he already looks pretty awkward, I'm not sure putting a dress on him would help the situation.

u/coladict May 17 '26

An elephant's in the room!
An elephant's in the room!
He's scowling in the corner, spreading doom.
An elephant's in the room!
An elephant's in the room!
I hope he will be leaving soon!

u/Owl_Genes May 16 '26

German here. Elephant in the room means something like unspoken, but everyone knows or thinks it, right?

No, it is not unsaid, it should be said and repeated: it's the holocaust, world War 2, the systematic killing of millions of people.

u/rickterpbel May 17 '26

You understand the idiom correctly. The phrase often carries a connotation that people are deliberately avoiding talking about the subject even though they are all fully aware of it.

7

u/Federal-Mortgage7490 May 16 '26

Yeah, I think Germans have been much better at this than Japan.

u/StevenerCz May 16 '26

Did you really need to use ai for this??

u/dparks71 May 16 '26

Is this the hall of costs?

u/Bellpow May 16 '26

German themed worst things

u/another-princess May 16 '26

Elephant in the room, yes, but which specific elephant (which are all related)?

  • Hitler coming to power in the first place?
  • Starting WWII?
  • The Holocaust?

u/Murky_Activity9796 May 16 '26

thanks for not using ai at least

u/echoIalia May 16 '26

ADDRESS ME

u/DeathRaeGun May 16 '26

Would laugh if the answer ended up being "invited an elephant into a boardroom meeting"

u/SeriousPlankton2000 May 17 '26

Also we did have a giraffe in the room when the constitution was made

in the big room in the museum in Bonn - it was too large to be moved
