Yes, it happens a lot. Maybe it is to generate more profit, but I also know, that books translated in German need 15-20% more space and pages than in English for example. The first book of "A Song of Ice and Fire" would have more than thousand pages in a paperback, so I understand, why they split each book in two parts.

I was hoping for a time machine or something... :<

The first thing that came into my mind was an incident that happened a few years back.

And friend and I walked down a quite street that had many apartment buildings. Suddenly in one building, just at the entrance, there was a weird fight happening. One man stole the luggage from another man. They did not yell at each other, they did not hurt each other. They were only fighting for that black luggage. As soon as the thief was successful, he fled with the suitcase into a car and drove away. We asked the other man if he needs our help as witnesses and if we should call the police. But he kept weirdly calm about it. He said he knows the thief.

I still wonder, what was in that suitcase and how this weird situation played out from the beginning.

Dazu möchte ich noch mal diesen nützlichen Link dalassen, den ich hier mal gefunden habe.

Massive Talent - I loved it!

Was hätte man denn von der "Klimapanik"? Also, was glauben denn die Skeptiker des Klimawandels, was man damit bewirken möchte? Ich verstehe nicht, wie man da eine Verschwörung sehen kann.

It makes me sad to see what happens on Reddit, but actions like this keep my hopes up. Not for Reddit itself, but for the community and its people, wherever it will be. :)

Ja! Ich schätze es sehr, in Europa zu sein, ich liebe die Unterschiede ebenso wie die Gemeinsamkeiten. Und trotz einiger Schwierigkeiten gefällt es mir auch, Teil der EU zu sein.

A great history lesson! :D

To add something to your wonderful story: In Germany many toilets had (maybe still have?) a poop shelf, for similar reasons, as far as I know. I haven't seen them in ages, but I remember them when I was little.

I found this in a small town in Germany, it was the public toilet of an event location, I think it was an old building. When the owner saw my irritated face he said: "Yeah, I know, we need to do something about this..."

I really appreciate the work and contribution of everyone here, to make this a great place. :)
