Well I mean you really only use it for strangers (that are older than you mostly) and professors/teachers :)
You can basically say "du" to anyone your age or younger, acquaintances and colleages as well as everything closer than that ofc. Hope that helps.

I'm listening to Inferno by Dan Brown right now (german translation) and it really bugs me when they start calling each other by their first names but still use the formal "Sie" ugh

If you insist :D
I worked a voluntary year at a psychiatry and one of the patients had a heavy psychosis. He had some reoccurring stuff, like that he's friends with satan, that everyone on the ward broke their necks during the night but he healed them, that he could turn invisible (he liked to demonstrate that while standing in front of you in his undies) and that we were raping him. Well and one day he claimed he couldn't breathe properly because we stuffed his nose with noodles. And about the strip part: He used to vomit out his meds into his sink (on purpose) which would then often clog. So a colleague came into his room to unclog it, and he put on his latex gloves. The patient (in undies as usual) saw that, went "well if you insist", turned around, bent over and pulled down his undies :D

I agree. Our correct pronouns are deutsch/deutsche/deutscher/deutsches and Deutschland.

Pretty much everything about this is wrong. Pictured here is princess Fatemeh Khanum “’Esmat al-Dowleh” or "Ismat al-Dawlah", daughter of Nasir al-Din (1855/6-1905).
.
First, ‘Esmat was probably married when she was around nine or ten years old. Second, the marriage was very likely arranged while she was living among the women of her father’s harem. It seems highly unlikely that she had the opportunity to meet any man not her relative, never mind beguile and reject thirteen suicidal lovers. Later, as a married woman in patriarchal Persia, it’s equally unlikely that she was being courted by amorous suitors.
.
The only part of the meme that has a grain of truth to it is that there was indeed a period in Persian history when ‘Esmat’s appearance – namely, her “mustache” – was considered beautiful. But this concept of beauty was at its height in the 19th century. In other words, the 1800s, not the 1900s, as the meme claims.
