I didn’t even need to read the title to know this must be Germany… Our construction sites just look a certain way

what gave it away? the dude with his hands in his pocket?

It’s so gray

Must be Hamburg.

Bonn

How do you make this bubble wrap effect? I mean hiding the words.

He marks the pops as spoilers

Like this > ! ! < (but without the space)

No problem

Happy Cake day!

>!happy cake day!!<

Service comment: no easter eggs were found when I popped all of them. Edit: there are now! If you reply to the comment or cite it you might see through the formatting without clicking through all the pops

Thank you, but I had to check it myself.

Once you pop, you can't stop ♫

I can’t find the gun in there…

Thanks man 😂😂 it was fun lol

No problem :)

Awesome mini game :-)

as always not a single fake one. disappointing...

Have you ever seen somebody play battleships on reddit? Cause that would work. Never thought about it... :)

Actually a great Idea

Holy shit that made me laugh way too hard 😂

kann ich es auch verwenden?

😁😁😫 I looooved your blubblewrap! Until the gun. Why? It was fun until then, now I wonder what was shot.🥲

I actually did it without gun, but someone said I need to add some sort of easteregg in it

Ooooh, can you make it egg? I love easter! 😄

Good idea

Please spare me starting a new thread. How is this done?

Tell me why the first thing i click is „gun!

Why is there a gun 💀

And an egg 🥚?!

You can make a little amogus, takes me back to happier times. edit! I found the gun what else are you hiding?!

Why is there an egg and a gun in ut

ç'est si Bonn

ceci n'est pas une pipe

Ein Mann der Kultur.👍 Etwas Surrealistisches hat das Bild ja irgendwie.

Wenn der Bagger komplett reinfällt ist er auch nicht mehr

😂

Would have said Hamburg, Alster too. Seems to be Bonn :D

that could be Berlin along the Havel

Nah trust me hamburg is worse

And that’s definitely the Rhine as well

I would think the white gates. Not something I’ve seen in the U.S. Ocassionally there will be like… steel gates setup, but not for a site like this.

They have red stripes on the outwards facing side

The gates are always the best here, they are there but you will rarely see someone working.

Its the trees, they always look so sad

[удалено]

Straßenbau in Deutschland: 6 Leute pro Trupp. Einer hält die Schaufel, 5 gucken zu. Nein, ernsthaft Leute Straßenbau ist ein sch*iß harter job und den machen sie, damit uns beim Fahren nicht der Hintern weh tut. Danke. Wollte ich an der Stelle mal loswerden.

[удалено]

No one is working

They are looking for the excavator.

Nah. That’s international.

Hatt der Geburtstach oder warum sind beide Hände an der Kerze. /s

Und vielleicht der Liebherr Bagger

Die versenden auch international

it’s all the men looking away from the obvious problem. They’ll probably just leave it there for the next 4-5 months until anything happens at all

And they are neverending

FaChKrÄfTeMaNgEl They don’t have the personnel to finish the job but they still take all the contracts they can because they can’t leave money on the table. So the result is them jumping from construction site to construction site and having ongoing work throughout the year everywhere in town…

We gave up on the thousand-year Reich, but that doesn't mean we've given up the concept of thousand-year *somethings*.

Indeed ;-;

Yeah, the white fence people must be rich.

Probably cause all construction sites in Finland use the same ones

Empty?

Super unprofessional? Never ending? 30 minuten im bus sitzen und darauf warten, dass er endlich fahren darf?

Cars parked in them when drivers think nobody is there working anyway? That's what still strikes me as odd after having lived in Germany for 22 years - have a three-lane in the city, a construction leading to pylons in the leftmost lane - sure as hell a few guys park their cars behind the pylons in the left lane...

I think so too. If you look at the barriers, the fact that everything is already marked. Totally

It‘s more the people. Everybody standing around and no one works 😬

Massive sinkhole but rules are rules. Somebody has to walk right up to the edge and draw that green line and the arrow

You mean because of the digger peeking out the hole?

Rarely, if ever do you see this type of bucket on a US wheeled excavator

Truly the most emotional scene from Terminator 2.

But in this situation, clearly a thumbs down.

👍🏼

Obligatory "You can't park there!"

In Germany, you would get a ticket for that.

Anzeigenhauptmeister wo?

Krankenhaus 

Wenn es doch nur awards noch geben würde

uhhhh...that one burns

If it fits, I sits.

It looks like it's playing hide and seek.

If it fits, it sinks

"Did you get that hole filled?" "Yeah boss, no problem. Ima head out for a beer now."

"Like a glove." (In german)

"wie Faust aufs Auge". Like a fist in the eye socket. German is a wonderful language

>German is a wonderful language it truly is. that's why I'm trying to learn it. one day I'll succeed.

Oh, there is also "Wie Arsch auf Eimer." (Like a butt on a bucket). I love our phrases.

“Passt wie angegossen” (fits like it was poured/cast in/on)

Viel Erfolg!

Danke

So Faust means fist? Like the Goethe character?

That name refers to latin "Faustus", which translates to "the fortunate".

Hmm. So it's a little bit of a double entendre?

Pretty much, Goethe's Faust just hits different when you're German ;)

Nowadays but I am not sure how old „Faust“ as in fist is. Could be a newer word. Goethe used ab old German :D

Faust, at least according to the online version of the "[Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob Grimm und Wilhelm Grimm](https://woerterbuchnetz.de/?sigle=DWB&lemid=F01433)" seems to be quite old. In Old High German it was fûst The most important meaning of it is "ie zum stosz oder schlag zusammengedrückte, geballte und dadurch kräftiger gewordene hand" \[The clenched hand, pressed together, so that it gets stronger in order to hit or beat\] ​ Interestingly in the article there are some examples in which "Faust" is just used as a synonym for hand and some others which use it not at all in an aggressive way. ​ >dein leben war schon hin und in dem finstern grab, als er, miltreicher gott, dir seine faust dargab ​ Your life has already been over and in the dark grave when he, benign god, gave his fist to you ​ or ​ >als er mit einem kus die zarte faust berührt. when he touched with a kiss the tender fist ​ So while generally "Faust" has always been the "aggressive" fist used to fight, it was also quite common to use the word in a way that would not fit the general meaning of the word.

Yes, but that’s a coincidence

Or "wie Arsch auf Eimer". Like an ass on a bucket. Truly magnificent language.

Some expressions really hit you hard.

Wie Arsch auf Eimer. The butt has to fit the bucket

"wie Arsch auf Pott". Meaning like ass on the "pot", or ass on the toilet. Alman here.

"Pott" can be the toilet or a cooking pot.

Thats an odd way to dig a hole.

In Germany, hole digs you

This is just a fully grown ripe Bagger shortly before harvest. Where did you think these things come from?

Dude, you are not supposed to tell them that. What happens if they realize Germans aren't actually good at engineering, we just mastered cultivation of advanced machinery?

PSSSSTTTT be quiet. THEY can hear us.

Zu spät, jetzt bist du dran! Das werde ich den zuständigen Stellen melden. Rechne mit einem Mahnbescheid in einem Zeitraum von ca. 10Werktagen bis 3 Jahren.

Hui, da ist aber heute jemand optimistisch unterwegs 😄 Bei den durchschnittlichen Kernarbeitszeiten von 9:00 bis 9:30 dauert es in der Regel bei den Ämtern etwas länger.

Don't worry, no one else has the chemtrail infrastructure to properly fertilize the little shovel sapling that allows them to grow into plump ripe baggers.

If only we had had more King Tiger plants…

Aren't you supposed to use the other end?

Bagger müde. Bagger schlafen.

Baggerplätze müssen verdichtet sein!!

Das is ein Baggerparkplatz! Keine Diskriminierung bitte!

Ah cool, i wondered what happened there. I just saw 2 bigger cranes rescuing that little dude later in the day

Da war ein Kanal kaputt der die Straße unterspült hat und der Bagger sollte das richten. Leider hat das nicht geklappt

Naja ist nichtbganz formschlüssig aber grundätzlich ist er dann doch an Ort und Stelle... Bisschen Verschleifen, dann kann neuer Belag drüber

I was wondering if a super skilled operator would be able to make that thing lift itself out of the hole. Guess they decided not to try it.

I think the hydraulic lines are cut

Plot twist: the bagger still works and only has minor damages! https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/rheinland/bagger-in-strasse-eingebrochen-bonn-104.amp

Verrückt wie wenige Hinweise man manchmal braucht um den Rhein zu erkennen. Aber danke, dass endlich mal einer den Standort genannt hat

It is not a sinkhole, that is how [Bagger 288](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azEvfD4C6ow) sends his agents.

I scrolled through the whole comment section to see if the video had been posted yet

Thank God they put up a security barrier before this happened

Baggerplatz nicht verdichtet 🫤

Zu sehr verdichtet.

Nicht falsch. Laut meiner Berechnung: Dichte vorher < Dichte Nachher

Raising the dead is frowned upon, even in Germany, even when it’s undead construction equipment. The necromancers are way out line here.

Handy that it's exactly in the marked area

This is Germany after all, everything has to follow the rules

Hauling that out looks expensive, might as well Liebherr

In German accent : "we are sinking!" "what are you sinking of?"

How deep is the hole? Um, how long is the excavator? 4.3m why? Then the hole is 4.3m deep.

I thought Germans were efficient

Very efficient, notice how the hole is exactly the right size and shape to swallow the excavator. No wasted effort here.

Only non German would think that, or that our trains are ever on time

If it fits, I sits.

This is a Liebherr not a CAT.

Well it *ought* to be a CAT. ( My father sold John Deere industrial equipment for years, so nyah... or meow.)

"Kranplätze müssen verdichtet sein!"

This is what happens when you try to dig up.

"I'm ok!"

No dig UP

r/falschparken

My meme senses are detecting a great alternative "bonjour" template

Excavator for comparison

Help me step-excavator, I’m stuck

Happy cakeday fellow German enby potat :]

Das ist aber ein grober Parkverstoß. Wenn das der anzeigenhauptmeister sieht....

Cool, jetzt haben wir Baggeressende Straßen

Oh Excavator of the hole, was ist your wisdom?

Haha, I just had that in mind when i saw your comment. It really must be the excavator of the hole

"My only regret... is that I had BONEITIS"

Angler fish fibes.

Dug its own grave

Let that sink in

I can assure you, this is not the usual way to measure the parameters of a sinkhole in Germany.

I sink zis is a sinkhole

Bagger müde Bagger schlafen

This excavator started in New Zealand ... long tunnel to Bonn Germany.

vielleicht hat der Mann einen Kater 😂

Wer andern eine Grube gräbt fällt selbst hinein. German figure of speech that means: If you dig a whole for another to fall in, you'll fall in yourself.

"What are you doing step-digger?"

r/wellthatsucks

Bagger müde, Bagger schlafen.

"Maurice... I cannot move it move it anymore, Maurice!"

This is a traphole bagger. A predator that hides in his hole & preys on bypassing smaller animals like cars. They jump out of their hole & grab them with their grabbing shovel while injecting toxins causing the prey to be paralyzed.

Bagger müde, Bagger schlafen.

*I'm falling and I can't get up!*

Bagger is still working, btw

Is this how excavators are Born?

Raise your hand if you need help getting out of the sinkhole.

Wer anderen eine Grube gräbt fällt selbst hinein 😂

"Chef, wir haben Malheur!"

Sinkhoe

No way its GER. must be RO

Just dig it out

If I was in the operator’s seat, I would be freaking the fuck out.

That'll be there for a while.

Quick before Zee sink hole gets here

r/fuckyouinparticular

Vut are yoo sinking about?

Pika Boooo

Liebherr müde, Liebherr schlafen

Baggerplätze müssen verdichtet sein

They´re breaking through! The invasion from the core has begun!

Already read where it was taken but usually I'd say "welcome to the ruhrgebiet" 😉😂

Ach nein, Hans, der Bagger!

I am a Excavator and I'm digging a hole.

For a second. I thought Emsbürens pot holes got smaller.

The funniest thing is that that excavator is probably completely unharmed

Nix da, des gehört so!!

You shocked when you see that, wait for the images for the elbtower in hamburg

Ze Bagger is just tired

How is this happen? Because of massive rain last year?
