Was Bretzeln mit Sandwiches zu tun haben weiss ich allerdings nicht. 😅
"Bretzel" scheint eine Mischung aus dem deutschen 'Brezel' und dem englischen 'Pretzel' zu sein.
'uber' heisst so viel wie 'mega' oder 'total'. (Beispiel: 'He's uber jealous.') Kenne ich eigentlich nur als Adverb. Der Umlaut soll's vielleicht exotischer aussehen lassen.
Apparently these are made specifically for sleeping: quieton.com/shop/ref/14/
They're tiny in comparison and look really promising. But last time I checked they shipped them from Finland which adds regulatory burdens (customs).

I just learned the word 'truancy' and the first sentence on Wikipedia makes me want to puke:
"Truancy is any intentional, unjustified, unauthorised, or illegal absence from compulsory education."
Is it the civilized world's obligation to help Afghanis?
"It should go without saying that this is batshit crazy."

So I've been hovering between 510 and 520 followers for about a year now, I think.
Observation: A bigger account retweets me and I get 10 to 20 new followers in a day. Over time, the new followers notice I tweet anti-covid-tyranny, anti-woke, anti-climate-change things etc (generally more right-wing tweets) and they unfollow me.

It's about how covid regulations have basically turned citizens who are abroad into conditional citizens who must prove they're healthy to get back home. Affects several countries.

Einen Einfall hatte ich noch: Man koennte ja einfach eine statistisch signifikante Umfrage durchfuehren, ob die Teilnehmer beim Wort 'Fluechtling' negative Empfindungen haben, und das mit dem Wort 'Gefluechteter' vergleichen.
Ich hatte bereits erklaert, dass ich mich dem Thema nicht verschliesse. Ich stimme Ihnen nur nicht zu. Das bedeutet nicht, dass ich es nicht verstehen will. Aber ok tschuess
Sie sprechen Dinge an, die ich nicht bemaengelt habe. Auch die implizite Unterstellung, ich sei eigentlich nicht interessiert (als ob mangelnde Zustimmung Desinteresse bedeute). Wieso spreche ich dann mit Ihnen?
...Problemen der Fluechtlinge zu befassen.
Fluechtlinge sprechen oft kein Deutsch, koennen also unmoeglich irgendetwas Falsches am Wort 'Fluechtling' erkennen. Es ist vielleicht typisch fuer woke 'Sprachwissenschaftler', sich mit Scheinproblemen zu befassen und Sprache regulieren zu wollen, anstatt sich mit echten...
Ich hab den ersten Link ueberflogen und er scheint mehr oder weniger das Gleiche zu sagen wie Sie. Dann schlaegt er vor, vielleicht sogar "Zufluchtsuchende/r" zu sagen – geht's noch komplizierter? –, meint aber gleichzeitig, "Sprachverhunzung" sei kein Thema.
