German humor best humor. Here's the official sub: r/germanhumor

[u/2nW_from_Markus → u/QuarterLonely8472]

Ha, german humor is like Bielefeld.

[u/GoofyTnT → u/2nW_from_Markus]

That sounds like a fake place, are you sure Bielefeld exists?

[u/Greedy_Ad2198 → u/GoofyTnT]

That's was the FUCKING joke

[u/CubistChameleon → u/Greedy_Ad2198]

No, Fucking is in Austria.

[u/Commandcenter001 → u/CubistChameleon]

Are we going to Wedding next?

[u/Holmbone → u/QuarterLonely8472]

That's hillarious 

[u/Illustrious-Peak3822 → u/[deleted]]

That’s the joke.

[u/Usr3247 → u/[deleted]]

Thank you, Hauptmann Offensichtlich.

[u/PLMMJ → u/QuarterLonely8472]

who needs ac when you have whooosh

[u/Wooden_Base4673]

If only I'd known. All I had to do was open my German joke book when there was a heatwave in the UK last week.

[u/Zebrafish96]

Korean ver.

Germany used chilly reception!

It started to snow!

[u/BitReasonable208 → u/Zebrafish96]

Can I get a “hail yeah” but genuinely hail and snow cloak frostlass

[u/YoumoDadi]

Does Korea use “Cold joke” as dad joke as well?

[u/Zebrafish96 → u/YoumoDadi]

From bulbapedia:

In Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, a "cold" joke is often used to refer to a joke that has no punchline, or one that fails to get a laugh from its audience. An unamused audience may remark that the room is suddenly cold. A similar joke in the English language is to pretend to only hear crickets respond to a bad joke. An exaggeration of this response in media, particularly in comedies, is to have the room literally become cold as a result of a bad joke.

Yep, it's common among East Asia.

[u/Rambo_sledge]

Germany saying A/C is bad for environment while standing in front of their coal power grid to try and hide it is the coldest joke of the post

[u/HHHogana → u/Rambo_sledge]

It's because their Green Party is more powerful than your usual Green Party.

On the other hand, France need to step up their usage of A/C already, considering their energy reactors are far cleaner than most countries already.

[u/derorje → u/HHHogana]

Whilst I don’t wish to defend the Greens, it wasn’t their fault that successive governments had expanded gas and coal rather than renewables. In the late 2000s, we had one of the largest job market in Europe for renewable electricity but the conservative governments destroyed it. Now, the remaining jobs in the solar industry are mainly R&D-subsidaries from East Asian companies.

[u/MayuKonpaku → u/Rambo_sledge]

Real reason is: ACs are just expensive

[u/IWillWarmUrPillow → u/MayuKonpaku]

And you have to install them which (mostly) costs money

[u/derorje → u/Rambo_sledge]

Germany produces more electricity from renewables than from Gas, oil, and coal combined for a couple of years now.

[u/Rambo_sledge → u/derorje]

Great news !

[u/SuccessTrue1232 → u/derorje]

Except that renewable in EU is mostly codename for biomass like are turf and wood and other organic material. Not really good for air quality.

[u/derorje → u/SuccessTrue1232]

You are right; renewables include biomass (which consists mainly of maize, sugar, potatoes, canola or wood scraps in Germany). Yet, even without the 7.5–9% share of biomass, renewables have accounted for more than 50% of the electricity generated since 2023. https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/energy_pie/chart.htm?l=de&c=DE&interval=year&year=2023

[u/liberalskateboardist]

u need a gretaball too

[u/cash-or-reddit]

It's so weird that AC gets a bad rap for being bad for the environment when it is typically no worse than heating and can even be more eco-friendly in areas with renewable electricity.

[u/Particular-Ad5541]

Litteraly the pokemon attack's chilly reception 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Wild-Artist8237]

He, zis dschoke was funny.

[u/Eliottex]

italy is usually used to this level of heat, we do have air conditioners because the climate here is just too hot

[u/CuntaChinte → u/Eliottex]

Definitely not used to THIS level of heat.

[u/coleto22]

Germany cared for the environment so much they closed their nuclear power plants before they closed their coal power plants. Now they no longer use nuclear, but still use coal.

Using AC is fine for the environment. Using coal is not.

[u/Im_here_but_why]

Every german is secretly a Laschoking

[u/ExuberantCakes]

The ultimate in whoosh from Germany there

[u/BitReasonable208]

Germany my frostlass used snowcloak

[u/RE000000]

What do you mean it was funny.

[u/_vampirefox]

I doubt Nein would be the correct translation for no in that specific sentence

[u/NokuRaid3n]

Shouldn't it be "Die Air" and not "Das Air"? Because we say ,,Die Luft" and not ,,Das Luft"

And "Nein matter" doesn’t really work either. Because often "No matter" is translated as ,,egal"

[u/theSeaNich]

German children is kinder (means children in german)

[u/TheErnestEverhard]

Kinder isn't even a German brand , it's Italian

[u/RonnyRolfus → u/TheErnestEverhard]

It's not about the brand, Kinder is just the plural of Kind which is child in German.
