Bad Münstereifel, a small town near where I live. The western part of Germany and some areas in the Benelux states have been spontaneously flooded after heavy rainfalls all das yesterday (14th July 2021). At least a handful of people died, others are missing. Several villages and districts are still being evacuated. Dam walls are spilling over and even threatening to collapse. A lot streets aren't passable, there's a huge amount of damage. We were without power most of the night, some people still are. I still haven't heard from my grandparents, probably just because mobiles aren't working properly, but I'm a bit worried. What fucking chaos.

this is what the rest of germany thinks extreme rightism or extreme leftism sounds like
3. hannover
genuinely cant understand a word they say <3
4. berlin
being loud and rude and arrogant isnt a contest but apparently it is
5. swabian
oh look, its the funny dialect used for comedy and being hilarioso because all it knows are diminutives and funny vowels
6. platt
is this its own language or are danish and dutch just german dialects?
7. swissgerman
this is what inexplicable selfconfidence and ego and privilege sound like
8. hessian
also a funny dialect but certainly not the go to comedy accent within german comedy
