As far as I can tell, even blocking the uploading channel doesn't actually prevent the videos showing up. Youtube has no good way of preventing things showing up.

Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

Vegemite, Marmite and co. are just inferior to the gloriousness of German Vitam-R Paste.

Yeast extract, by and large. I'm not sure what Vegemite tastes like, but Marmit and co. taste kinda like very salty beef. They're a sort of viscous liquid you can put on toast, or crackers, or pretty much anything if you try hard enough.

That's... well, I don't know if we have that over here.

Then again, one of my favorite desserts is condensed milk, so I won't judge.

Does anyone know why english uses "1st" instead of "1rd"?
I know that's how the word sounds, but why "first" rather than "word" or something?

"First" "second" and "third" all don't fit the -th pattern of "fourth" and later.  Probably because they're easy concepts which existed before proper math, and were used by people who couldn't count to 10.  "First" is more related to "last" than "fourteenth".

Of course I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm not a linguist.  I'm barely even cunning.

"Fird" or "Furd", would be my guess.
