Germans don’t hate themselves, their government hates them.
Is this true for Germans?

Show me a country where this isn’t true.

Somalia. There isn’t really a functional government to speak of, so if the people even acknowledged the UN-backed central government exists, that would be something.

It’s not continously true for Germans tho. When the green party makes it into the ruling coalition it always feels they care and a few good things happen for the benefit of most.

Pretty sure Americans hate themselves

And Germans vote for those governments. (Technically they vote for the parties in the parliament and the resulting coalition can be a bit hard to predict, but y’know.)

Noo, the Bagger 288 is designed to fight off godzillas and doom robots from the future!
Any incidental global destruction is mere completely unintended collateral damage.

That’s German engineering for you.

Bagger 288 can never be defeated. Not even by time or entropy.

It eats from one side and shits to other (France) side. All is fine.

And iirc it’s something like 500m deep… absolutely awesome human achievement apart from the tiny little problems with it (it keeps eating up neighboring villages plus it produces brown coal which is the worst kind, environmentally speaking)

Don’t worry, they will fill it with water once they are done mining. It’ll take about 40 years to fill though, between ground water and extracting water from the Rhine river.

German Green Party abhors nuclear energy; after Fukushima the government closed all the nukes and coal filled the gap “but renewables will be ready soon”.
LazyGit@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
That was actually done during the CxU/FDP (Center right/Liberal) coalition period. Green party was not in power.
ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Totally BS what you talk. Es war Altmeier (CDU) der die Energiewende in die Scheiße gefahren hat. Now shut the fuck up.
Madison420@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Fukushima was such bullshit. It was never a good design in a reasonable place and they knew it when they built it. It’s like saying we shouldn’t wear shoes in snow because your neighbor wore Crocs in 3ft snow drifts while hiking and lost their feet.
Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
No, your example is wrong.
It’s like saying nobody should go into the snow because it can’t be 100% ensured that all shoes are snowready.

3rd quarter of 2025 Germany had 64.1 % renewables and rising and imported only 8.2% more than it exported. Source: www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/…/PD25_436_43312.html
Also, it’s building giant battery storage: heise.de/…/Energiewende-Europas-groesser-Batterie…
Unfortunately the CDU is currently ruling and they’ll try to slow it down.
kossa@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
And “imports” do not happen, because there isn’t enough domestic energy to be had, like right-wing fearmongers want you to believe.
They happen because the European grid is working as intended and it just is the economically viable option to import instead of firing up expensive plants.

You think that’s bad look up lithium and nickel mining. Since you want electric cars so much.
TBi@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You mean mining reusable lithium and nickel vs this single use coal?

No, this isn’t true, but it fits the British and US stereotyping (dating back to +/- 1946) quite well.

“mud wizard” is his English name. In the original sindarin his name is „der Mönch von Lützerath“

As a bonus if you watch this you don’t also really need to watch that new animals doing drugs special as this covers most of it.
