That's all that is left of the Berlin Wall

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It would be funny if the wall would have been just a very long fence with kein Durchgang signs all over it and the people just obeyed the signs.

Video game logic. Those sparse shin-high rocks will totally block their path if they try to go around.

The conversation probably went something like this:

Dude 1: Yo, I'm like, sky-high, man!

Dude 2: No way, bro! Where'd ya cop this fire?

Dude 1: Beats me, man. I was already blitzed when I scored it.

Dude 2: Duuuude, that's wicked!

Dude 1: Ayo, listen up, I just had this like, mind-blowing epiphany. Check it, bro. This is gonna flip the script, man. Let's slap up a fence right at the entrance to the parking lot.

Dude 2: Totally, let's make it happen. It'll be like, the ultimate vibe killer for the fuzz, man. They'll never see it comin'. Plus, think about the street cred we'll get. We'll be legends, man. Legends!

Boys went and slapped up a fence right there, and stopped thinking about it any further. Who needs brains when you’re total legend.

I don't know how it works in Germany but in some places you can't accuse someone of trespassing if there's no signage. Maybe that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I don't think its about trespassing because its public parking. I think it is because the sidewalk ends directly on one parking spot. Maybe it would have been required to remove the parking spot to create a opening. There is also a Bus stop beside the sidewalk so maybe they just wanted to have less foot traffic on the parking area. But they must have known that the fence is not big enough...

Oh my god, this is fantastic. What.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Not even Germans obeyed the sign.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

They were probably thinking “the fence will go up next week” and then “oh dang, we don’t have the money for the fence now.”

Probably a super natural reason. Like there were ghost sightings then a psychic told them to do it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh noo! I have ghosts in my neighbourhood? Who should I call?

Geisterjäger!

Oh yea I can relate...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am glad that they put the sign on this fence. If they had not done this, all of the people who tried, would still be there. In front of the fence, trying to get through.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

The sign is so you know you're doing something verboten. So you feel guilty when you step around the fence.

It worked. The sidewalk couldn't get past the fence.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Oh shit you're right. The sidewalk seems to Respekt the sign.

No one likes durchgang bro

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes you can clearly see that. People seem to prefer vorbei gehen over durch gehen.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Vorbei vs Durch

I just hate this Gang warfare.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait until the drüber gang appears with a ladder.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

let's leave before untergang arrives, however..

That should be written on the fence!
