Nice. I would opt for "scheiße kalt" just to make it extra German.

I get what you mean; ml and g can make cooking and baking more precise (although I like using both methods now that I live here). However, Europeans have teaspoons and tablespoons as measurements, too, and we typically don't use ml for teeny amounts. The confusing part is that European and American teaspoons and tablespoons are not actually the same size. Took me a while to figure that out.

It actually wouldn't. The lid just pops on and off.

Sounds fine to me. Not like he or his children will be ruling anyway. I was expecting something actually, well, bad.
And I agree. They should pay for their own expenses, just like everyone else. God knows they have the money.

And how many of those men were cut out of their children's lives against their will? Cause that's upsettingly common as well.

This whole thing made me curious and I looked up what the "-schaft" part actually means. Apparently it comes from the old high-German word "scaf(t)" or "skaf(t)" which meant the "state"/"character", "order" or "rank" of something. Like many words ending in "-schaft", the compound word for science developed in medieval times.
If we take this into account, Wissenschaft really means "the state or order of knowledge". I guess you could describe it as our "system of knowledge", in a way, which makes a lot of sense.

Or cursing! I miss Germany's casual attitude when it comes to swearing, too. Nobody looks at you funny because you're letting off some steam.

That's not quite what "Wissenschaft" means. It sounds neat, but "Wissen" really means knowledge, not wisdom (that would be "Weisheit"). And the "-schaft" part at the end of it... hm... that's more like the "-tion" part in lots of English words, like in "anticipation" or what have you. Unless there is a linguistic root for it that I'm unaware of.

No, that's Dutch or Swiss German, not actual German. Unlike French, Dutch sounds super endearing, though (to a German, anyway). So it's got that going for it.

Why is there (a) straw on the floor? (The "a" or "ein" is a mistake, perhaps an intentional one. Anyway, think straw like hay, not like straws you drink with).

Turns out it was actually the other way around. But that didn't stop the internet from demonizing him before any guilt could ever be established...

We have almost the same thing in German, too: "Das sitzt wie angegossen".

Exactly. It frustrates me to no end that there *are* lions with slightly darker fur and almost black manes in the wild. Why make them all look the same then?

Apart from the fact that it has no reason to exist (except for Disney to make money without having to come up with new ideas), it really shoots itself in the foot with how realistic everyone looks. The Lion King is a very emotional story (no wonder, with it being based on Hamlet), but the photorealism doesn't give them a chance to emote. That's detrimental to the story. I know that this is how actual lions look and that they can't emote, but MAYBE it was a bad idea to make them look real if they can't express themselves without literally saying how they feel. The original's stylized and colorful look was the perfect vehicle for this story.
I admire what the visual effects team has achieved here - they should be proud of themselves. But that doesn't change that this was a stupid idea in the first place.
The original has stood the test of time, but I doubt anyone will remember this remake in 25 years.
Call me whatever you want, but you're not changing minds with that attitude, buddy.

The only thing in its trailer that had me excited was that split second you could see a tiny African grey parrot sitting on an elephant's tusk. But that's because I have one. Everything else about it looked entirely inferior to the original, especially in regards to facial expressions. What are they feeling in any of these shots? Fuck if I know. Their oh-so-important realism is making it impossible to tell.

Looks like Long Feng to me.

I call bullshit. My little brother got injured during their games all the time and after many years he eventually quit soccer for this very reason. One of his thigh injuries never healed right and it still troubles him today (a player buried his cleats in his leg and injured the tissue almost all the way to the bone). So yeah, I'd argue that soccer is a pretty rough sport for both genders.

Most pet birds that aren't practiced flyers can fly up no problem. It's getting down that they don't know how to do. Apparently, flying downwards at an angle is actually pretty hard, so it's something they have to practice a lot to get good at.
