For anyone else who doesn’t know what elytra are, they are the “protective wing-cases for the hindwings underneath, which are used for flying. To fly, a beetle typically opens the elytra and then extends the hindwings.”
Multi story car parks have half floors in the UK too but you can’t get to both floors from one lift. You get off at a floor and have to walk up or down half a floor to get to the other half of the building.
Are you implying that 2 years ago, that was the only lemmy instance. Or was it only that lemmy instance (and maybe others that went down due to being hosted in the same location) that went down?
I wanted to say Brezel, but I feared that I have to explain myself. Yes. I don’t understand why english-speakers say “Pretzel” instead of how Germans say it: “Brezel”
I do love a good regular pretzel, but IMHO, American hard pretzels are a pretty awesome snack. But yeah, they’re more like an Italian breadstick.
And also, Americans took hard breadsticks and made a soft variant of them. Us Americans like to iterate on the foods our great grandparents brought over to the colonies.
I’ve been to the US. 2 times, in fact. While I really, really love american people… Your bread is pretty bad. I mean… Even our regular grocery store bread is better than what I had in the US. Which is sad. There are several articles and videos on the web that explain why that is.
It kind of depends on the state you go to. America is pretty damn big, and different regions are known for different things. Food varies a lot across the US, just as it varies across Europe.
I’m in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. And we’re bread snobs over here. I’m confident that California can throw down if brought into a bread fight.
Don’t want to offend you at all, but I’m still 100% sure that american bread isn’t as good as german bread. No matter where it comes from in america. Germans practically “live” their bread. German bread is also a UNESCO world heritage.
I’ve been to many places in the world and the world got some damn good food. Food is where Germany often lacks (in my opinion). But one single thing that I always miss when I go abroad: German bread.
I live at the border to Denmark. When I pass the border and head to the grocery store over there, the bread sucks. Like, really.
Germans are just very serious with bread and beer (I head someone call beer “liquid bread”).
Edit: Calling my american brother @Zengen. He’s been to Germany 3 times now. What do you think about our bread, bro? 😆
Unrelated note, I’m pretty happy to be off Reddit and chatting with you about bread on Lemmy. I’d offer to send you some local bread, but I know it just wouldn’t be the same after being in a plastic bag for a week on a plane. 😆
