People’s average age is about 44 in Italy, while a generation in the second half of the 20th century lasted about 29 years there.
So for two generations:
44+2*29=102
So the grandma of the average Italian would have been 17 years old in 1940 and thus was not born in 1918, but in 1923.
No “gugu gaga”, but still quite young.
On average.
Reminds me:
I have to rewatch Scrubs! :-)
described the $599 device (it also requires a subscription that starts at $7 per month) as a toilet bowl attachment that uses “optical sensors and validated machine-learning algorithms” to deliver “valuable insights into your health and wellness.”
Do they take their product ideas from the Onion?
This can’t be real, can it??
Home Bargains is British, isn’t it?
So maybe region-dependent custom.
Here in Germany I would judge it to be equally uncommon both in cities and the more rural areas.
That’s one of the exceptions I was thinking about. Looking at someone and deciding to do something beneficial specifically for that person.
Which is totally ok!
Although I would either be slighty confused by it or more likely wouldn’t even register it at all, as not expecting thanks to be directed at me.
After all, placing the divider is somewhat of a selfish action on my part, omitting later stress…
No, Heinrich Hoffmann, a German psychiatrist in the mid 19th century.
Loved the Struwelpeter as a child btw. :-)
Practically never in my whole live, standing in thousands of checkout lines, have l heard anyone say “Thank you” to another person placing a divider.
Maybe under very special circumstances that primarily had nothing to do with the divider itself.
It is in both person’s interest to place it, so the the one who has the opportunity to do it just does.
Had I encountered the woman from the post, I just would have classified her as mentally not entirely stable and kept my distance…
Not this time, though.
Picture is out of the “Struwelpeter”, which is not part of Grimm’s collections.
so…you don’t bathe.
That is correct.
I shower.
No, but took me only 20s or so to walk to the bath and take one.
Also 30 additional steps and a reset of the get-up-counter on my fitness watch, so was a welcome reason to leave the couch ;-)
The one before was 5+ years old when its hose broke.
Did not look great but still ok in the end.
Might just be limescale?
I now had to check…
Shower head is appr. half a year old.
Gunk-free so far! :-)
Should they?
I would expect them to be somewhat self-cleaning when in regular use.
Also: Bonus point because Iiteral shower thought.
Dir ist die fortgeschrittene deutsche Kulturtechnik “Stoßlüften” bekannt?
Also: Kiwi fruits
I just did some Wikipedia surfing on the topic.
Made clear to me again that the best way to classify Christian lore is as “High Fantasy”.
The whole discussions happening in the years 400 AD sound like some classic nerd turf war.
Perhaps in 500 years there will be some religion based on Warhammer or so…
Some Dutch person also mentioned that it is part of the story the kids get told.
ls that also some theologial schism topic? Damn, it sure is complicated… :-)
My grandmas were bom in 1914 and 1908.
So together with your value, 1923 sounds somewhat realistic.
I am not Italian, tlough. :-)
