If you happen to speak a little German, !ich_iel@feddit.org had quite a few lasagna recipes recently
There is a theory that intelligent developed thro mushrooms. But it isn’t widely accepted because that’s not how evolution works.
It’s taking a song to an unintended implication. “All I want for Christmas is you” implies how important you are, not that you aren’t much. And the German lullaby implies that God will wake you up, not that he might decide not to. Another commenter pointed out that “if” could also be “when” so God will wake you when he sees fit.
Since the song is quite old and “when” is the older meaning, there is a point to make about the intended meaning. What I took issue with was calling it a mistranslation and at least by now I think we agree it’s not
I honestly never thought about it that way. It wasn’t sung to me when I was little and I only know it from people who misunderstood it. But it’s not closer to “when”. It’s the default for both. You can disambiguate it to “falls” or “sobald” but “wenn” is in both contexts the most common word.
This is even darker! The one I quoted is arguably just a filler to get enough syllables for the line. Depending on your image of God, it’s just “of cause he does”. Your version elaborates on the idea much more
There is a German lullaby with the line “tomorrow morning, if God wants, you will wake up again” and quite a number of kids worried “what if He doesn’t?”
Reminds me of when I said in school “some people put even things like 6x7 into their calculate” which was intended as an indirect 42 joke and someone said “it’s 42” as a joke, not realizing it really is


I used the inbuilt alarm on Wednesdays. I have a deep sleep so I need more aggressive alarms to wake up early. I think it made you solve a puzzle to turn it off.


I unironically had an alarm clock app during uni that didn’t work on Wednesdays. For a few semesters I had only late lectures on Wednesdays so it worked for me
I’m almost positive I’m missing indications but I’m not sure how old the tweet is

The German word for C sounds like the German word for toe even tho the latter isn’t written with a C. Now you know.
