My account is named after the character from a series of movies about bankrobbers. It was the only western movie-series allowed in the GDR. The guy had a bit where he would go on long insulting rants against his comrades after they’d fucked up, calling them all sorts of names, typically finishing off with declaiming they were SOCIAL DEMOCRATS (this being the worst he could call them).
Here’s a compilation of him tearing into people, and also being torn into a little bit

Here’s a really famous scene where they rob a bank to Elverhøj

I DON’T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE! Year after year, it’s been the same. Everything has gone right until it’s gone wrong, and why? Because you’re surrounded by dog-headed, ignorant, stupid, cowardly, unimaginative, unimaginative, a couple of IMPOTENT PIGS, a couple of small impotent porridge farmers.

@Egon@hexbear.net avatar

Perfect translation 10/10 Maybe there’s a little bit lost in translation between the non focused way “Jeg vil ikke mere” goes than the focused way “I don’t want to do it anymore”, but that’s incredible nitpicking.

Some of those words hit much harder in english lmao. Gonna have to start calling people both impotent pig and “small porridge farmer”

A different version of the same rant can be translated to:

Asymptote ,

Åh gud jeg ville betale gode penge for at se noget moderne med Egon. Desværre er Ove død, og ingen kan fylde Oves små og Egons mindre sko - Balling, Bahs og Sprogøe fik virkeligt fanget en karakter af dimensioner, og samspillet med de øvrige karakterer var på samme tid plat og eminent, især Kirsten Walther. Åh altså.

Et moderne reboot af Olsenbanden ville have en masse materiale at arbejde med. Det moderne erhvervslivs opblæste disruption-hype og finansielle fiksfakserier vil sagtens kunne skabe en ny version af Hallandsen. Den moderne Jensen vil passe perfekt ind i new public management. Og så vil der kunne være meget sjov i at lade de moderne Kjeld og Yvonne have mellemøstlig baggrund. De skal i hvert fald ikke bo i Valby længere, for det er blevet for dyrt. Måske skal den røde kuffert indeholde en harddisk med bitcoins?

Asymptote ,

Jeg kan godt forstå din entusiasme, men jeg synes efterhånden vi har set så mange reboots af ting hvor det er håndteret så ringe at det trækker ned på originalerne.

Dem der laver det er også fanget i en sump af at skulle respektere det gamle for ikke at få på puklen for det, ikke være for trendjagende, ikke at være for meget eller for lidt woke, ikke at have samme “feel” osv. Bare se de “nye” Far til Fire.

Den var også lidt en tidskapsel for det Danmark og især det København der fandtes dengang, om end i et meget statisk perspektiv. (Selv om jeg har kendt mange fra det miljø og den tid… Det er en type karakterer jeg ikke ser meget længere med mindre jeg finder et overlevende brunt værtshus eller tager på Staden)

Jeg må indrømme at jeg ikke har turdet se noget af “det nye” og ikke kan huske noget som helst af “den sidste rigtige” med de gamle drenge.

Hvis nu ham der spillede Børge ikke havde kastet sit liv i rendestenen kunne der have været et Kim af en chance for et ærligt “generationsskifte” hvor man finder nye stereotyper han kan spille op imod, evt. “hans børn” der nu ville være lige så gamle som de oprindelige bandemedlemmer.

På den anden side kan jeg da godt høre at jeg nok tager det mere alvorligt end nogen som helst i de gamle film gjorde. Jeg er bare bange for at der er nogen der kommer og besudler mindet om en serie der egentligt toppede i 1eren fordi der var nøgne damer.

Nye film må godt have nye ideer og så lade sig inspirere af gamle film.

Another great quote is made by Jensen, the burnt-out detective tasked with catching Egon and his gang. His younger and more naive colleague remarks that “crime doesn’t pay” which prompts Jensen to give the following answer:

Oh God! My dear, dear young friend, you are terribly mistaken. Believe me, I’ve been on the force for more than 25 years, and I know what I’m talking about. Duty carries its own reward, but it’s modest. Integrity is beautiful, but meager. Justice is proud, but one-eyed. Love is sweet, but costly. Friendship and camaraderie, those are good to look back on in your old age. But the only thing that pays, that’s crime!

Jensen makes a lot of glasses-off remarks such as “when the really big criminals arrives the only thing the police can do is to offer them protection”.

Egon , (edited )
@Egon@hexbear.net avatar

Yeah it’s honestly a really good series. There’s a reason it got big in the GDR. It’s wild what they could deliver while still keeping it comical. Like that text reads as some really deep quote, but in the scene it’s probably played for jokes. It’s great.
My only gripe is how Yvonne ping-pongs between being more insightful than Egon, and being an immense dumbass, depending on what the plot demands

usernamesaredifficul ,

homeless people are tankies actually

Blackmist ,

Our heroin.

ThereRisesARedStar ,

This is classist. Most homeless people don’t suffer from addiction. Something like 40 percent are alcoholics and 25 percent use harder drugs.

Sprinklebump ,

A recent statewide study of homelessness in California, found that the majority of people had lost their living spaces due to rising rent.

ucsf.edu/…/california-statewide-study-investigate…

“The study found that for most of the participants, the cost of housing had simply become unsustainable. Participants reported a median monthly household income of $960 in the six months prior to their homelessness, and most believed that either rental subsidies or one-time financial help would have prevented their homelessness.”

regalia , to memes in Freedom units 💯

Why does the US live rent free in so many European’s heads all the time?

Honytawk ,

Because each time we look for some English content, they use some dumb fantasy metrics based on the size fo the feet of a king for some reason, and we need to look up a converter to change it to a metric used in 195 different countries.

Umbrias ,

It’s really not hard to convert.

Caitlynn ,
@Caitlynn@feddit.de avatar

Then why don’t you Just switch

Umbrias ,

Because it’s a massive waste of money for little to no benefit, and barely actually comes up because unit conversion is trivial and is done constantly regardless of overall unit system.

Armchair unit system fanatics make it out to be such a bigger deal than it is. Whether im working in metric or standard I’m doing several to several dozen dimensional analyses anyway, normally with industry specific units. Which again, exist in both standard and si.

bermuda ,

Money.

stingpie ,

1 yard is about a meter. 3 feet in a yard. Just divide by 3 and that’s good enough for 99% of cases.

lord_ryvan ,

I think you meant Americans can multiply metres by three, instead of 195 countries accommodating to just them

regalia , (edited )

I measure in freedom units brother!

Also how did feet/metric get brought up, that’s not even remotely relevant, tf lol.

CADmonkey ,

If you grow up in the US, you learn both systems and you’re able to convert between them. It’s easy.

2.2 pounds to the kg

1 inch is 25.4 mm

A gallon is 3.8 liters

But it’s fun watching supposedly intelligent people from other countries who reeeeeee when seeing imperial units.

isolatedscotch ,

? i don’t know about you, but multiplying 19" times 25.4 isnt something easy at all to do quickly in your head. Also, not to mention the best example: when i have to convert cm to m I move the comma

when I have to convert from cm to freedom units: -Divide the height in centimeters by 30.48 and write down the whole number as feet

-Multiply the decimal part of the above division by 12

-Round the result of the multiplication to the nearest whole number and write it down as inches

like, really? you have to use two different units added together for one thing? How is that easy?

CADmonkey ,

How is it hard? Aren’t people in the rest of the world much better educated than people in the US?

stalinblows ,

You’d think so until you listen to them talk

sfgifz ,

when i have to convert cm to m I move the comma

I feel the real war we need to fight over is whether the decimal point or the decimal comma is the one true decimal separator.

isolatedscotch ,

Yea confuses me every time

bastion ,

Freedom units… Oh, you mean imperial? As in, Britain? Yeah, we’re just using their old system and haven’t bothered to change unless there’s a practical necessity.

toastal , (edited )

The British still gladly mix both systems inconsistently. They measure themselves in stones & buy cars based on liter per mile fuel efficiency.

Holzkohlen ,

Which is exactly why we had to kick them out of the EU. This is obviously a joke. They went because their politicians are incompetent liars.

shanghaibebop ,

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

RoquetteQueen ,

I didn’t know Canada and Australia were in Europe

theragu40 ,

They aren’t, which makes this meme even funnier because in my experience Canadians and Aussies are pretty likely to understand both systems and wouldn’t have a problem identifying either.

I’d put money on this having been made by a European.

RoquetteQueen ,

As a Canadian myself, it really depends. Most of us only understand farenheit in certain contexts. Some of us can understand it for weather but I think that’s mostly older generations. I use farenheit for oven and pool temperature only. In every other context, it is meaningless to me.

theragu40 ,

The crossover is so fascinating to me.

Like you just nonchalantly use it for pools and ovens and nothing else. Kind of like we use liters randomly for certain soda bottles and basically nothing else.

RoquetteQueen ,

Oh I know! It’s so weird. Ovens are probably because we get ours from the US, but why we do pool temperature in farenheit is a mystery to me.

theragu40 ,

People are definitely strange creatures lol

zik ,

Australian here. Celsius is all we use here really. I’d have to convert to Celsius to understand Fahrenheit units.

qaz ,

That’s American geography

sentore ,

I love that the meme is about Canada, Australia, and the US(ish), yet it’s the Europeans that get called out by this guy. Who’s living rent free in whose head? ;)

I’d assume because the internet is 90% catered to american’s.

Okalaydokalay , to internetfuneral in wonder what happened here

A math teacher got fed up with his students always asking him when they’ll actually use math in the real world. So he created this sign and took them on a field trip to see it, forcing them to come to the realization that sometimes you’ll need to perform mathematic equations to do things like understand a posted sign.

But that’s just a guess. We may never know the real story.

I don’t care about the real story. I am now basing my reality around this one.

the fact that 20-30 points goes from freezing cold to death and destruction and fire is everything that’s wrong with Celsius for weather.

F for weather C for chemistry K for astronomy

FCK one unit of measure.

RobertOwnageJunior ,

Why is that a problem once you know it? I know 0 is kinda cold, 20 is kind warm and 30 is kinda hot.

buffalobuffalo ,

Loss of precision. Most digital thermostats only display two digits for cost savings. I’ve had experiences with mini-splits that are too cold at 27 and too hot at 28.

foo ,

45 is shit

Mate, it’s metric, if you need more units just go down an order and you have 200 to 300 units.

Sailor_jets ,

I got downvoted to hell for expressing this opinion on reddit. Like, I know metric and US customary. I use both everyday at work. But Celsius sucks for weather and I will die on this dumb hill.

Isn’t the downvkte button just another way of showing that you disagree?

w2tpmf ,

It’s not supposed to be.

It’s supposed to be for “not relevant or doesn’t add value to the discussion”.

kool_newt ,

You’d think after a decade or so somebody would figure out some system better than upvotes and downvotes that don’t mean what everyone assumes they mean. How about a tooltip to explain?

Even adding a separate 5-star agreement scale next to the up/down arrows would help so I could like upvote for a good contribution and give one star to say I disagree.

w2tpmf ,

It turns out we did find a solution. Leave reddit.

Sailor_jets ,
@Sailor_jets@sh.itjust.works avatar

Not originally, but nobody on reddit follows the intent and just use it as a dislike button even if the argument is well thought out.

ren ,
@ren@lemmy.world avatar

I enjoy rabble rousing C-freaks. I lived in a Celsius country for 3 years (Hong Kong), each degree is too much, decimals for weather is silly.

Farenheit is so simple, on a scale of 0-100, how fucking hold/cold is it?

Cypher ,

So what is 0F defined as and what is 100F?

Can these units be reproduced without variance?

Absolutely trash system.

ren ,
@ren@lemmy.world avatar

lol.

who needs units? call them percents. 0% hot 100% hot 110% HOT holy fuck! lolol

Honytawk ,

In Celsius we at least have some leeway to adapt to the rising temperature of the Climate.
