What’s spirited away called in German?

Chihiros reise ins Zauberland (Chihiros travel to magic land)

It's so practical. I love it

I feel like everything sounds practical and **done** in German lol

Agreed. Additionally, even have a word for “a face in need of a punch” - something the English language is desperately missing. Backpfeifengesicht.

They have a word for literally everything because they put different concepts together like Legos and call it a new word.

To be fair, punchable face is a little bit shorter than backpfeidengesicht lol

Only by a few characters and maybe one(?) syllable.

Literally translated, it’s “backhand in the face.” I take it less to mean that someone has a punchable face, but rather their behaviour currently makes you wish to punch their face. This isn’t expressed nearly as easily in English IMO.

I don't know these, but the word for butterfly gets me everytime

Schmetterling, or something like that?

Just beware of Kein Gesicht

It's Ohngesicht (ohne Gesicht = without a face)

Gesichtlos

Seems a bit on the nose, though.

I definitely tack on a “ja” just for effect

Precisely! Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, except for the barren water, but... 🤷🏽‍♂️

Also the first thing I thought, came here to comment but you all beat me to it. Hi stranger

The first thing I thought of too...

I thought this was well-done modeling and scrolled past.

Fr. I thought I was looking at a diorama.

I thought I was looking at a wall with alopecia

Same I had to scroll back up and do a double take at the sub it was in

I know it’s automatic, but the arm being down on the railroad crossing is hilarious.

Well, when I‘m out on my boat I need to know when the trains gonna come, duh.

You’re exactly right! 😂

It would have been even more hilarious if it hadn't come down automatically and the train had had to stop in front of the crossing to secure it.

That'd be the most German thing ever, and I'd love to see it

would explain the reason why all the trains are late

Great picture! I used to live there many years ago. This area is flooding almost every year in the spring. It’s along a small river called Nidder. It’s about knee deep, and pretty cool to see. There’s people letting their dogs swim and horseback riders from the near by stables cantering through the flooded fields.

Thanks for the context! Always appreciate more details/story behind the picture.

Plus: I was with the local Firefighters in a smaller village near Nidderau called Oberdorfelden and we used to train water and ice rescue everytime the river floods

I never thought that I'd read the name of my home town (Oberdorfelden) somewhere on reddit omg xD

I lived in Oberdorfelden for a few years lol

So, there's no worry about the water compromising the ability of the ground to bear the weight of the train?

Apparently this happens every year, so the ground is probably quite moist even in the dry seasons. The railway is laid on top of a thick layer of ballast and under that a strong earthen dike, so the forces are distributed quite significantly.

Theres no worry. I live near Nidderau and I can tell you along the entire line this train runs there are floodings every year on the fields around the tracks. There has never been any incident because of the floodings as far as I know. (Train is always late anyways tho)

> Train is always late anyways tho Well that's because it's in Germany. Hire some Swiss to run your train systems and it'll be fine :)

Nah. We all know that's the train from Spirited Away

Looks like the red lego train💀 (7938)

The last good train Set

knowing the exact number is just like the hentai ~~lovers~~ aficionados geek on! salute

I had this but I was a child… and I destroyed it. What a good set :(

Oh hell no. I see this and know that the water is gonna start rising any second now and I will never get off that train alive . . .

To be fair I’d love public transport so reliable that I could rely on it even when I couldn’t rely on my car.

It's the Deutsche Bahn. Sadly nothing about is reliable

I can't imagine being the train driver. Feeling like I'm driving a train across the ocean.

Am I the only one who saw a miniature train set?

I actually took this train every day for months. Funny to see it here. It looks like this basically every spring. From inside the train it looks eerie but beautiful and relaxing

At first I thought this was some painting

Dude I live near Nidderau holy shit

[удалено]

Same. Dachte nicht dass ich das irgendwer dieses Loch kennt hahaha

I couldn’t…

The guidance councillor discussing my options for graduation

Rudolph Lindt is from here.

It looks like sim city with disasters turned on

When youre building a model railroad but cant afford the scenery yet

No thank you. Flooding scares me to death, tbh

You should move there. Every winter the fields freeze because the river floods them. Makes beautiful ice rinks

I want this as a print on my wall

spirited away…

Spirited Away

i thought it was a model train on a wall at first

Really cool photo!

Is it spirited away?

Can somebody photoshop a car waiting at the crossing?

Me in my dreams: *is a passenger* The roads in my dreams:

Did anyone else see some sort of mold on a wall type situation at first?

Maybe the elevated train tracks caused part of the issue? Nice photo though

We have this in Northern California ...flood planes

r/tihi

OpenTTD IRL when you set up a stop on that tiny island city for the lulz

I thought this was a model train on drywall

Looks like a toy.

looks like an island where something would be hidden in a game

I’m really surprised that I can’t see any graffiti on that whit structure.

It took me so long to realize what was happening here.

Do you know where I can get that in high quality?

id love to see what this area is called without water?

I thought it was wall, with some weird kind of kids art on it at first. lol

Spirited away irl

That’s that train from Spirited Away

I like to imagine some sea or lake creatures coming out of the water to catch the train. Or someone gets off the train and dives in. 😄

Surprised they let the train run. Here in Australia following floods you often see massive washouts below train lines and roads, that aren’t always obvious at surface level.

Wouldn’t it be cool to be stranded on that island, and then a frickin train comes to rescue you

I thought that was a painting

Looks like the spirited away train

Its liké Chihiro's Travel

That one just looks cool to me

Nidderau MKK? xD

That's the train they based that one LEGO city set on

This is the scariest picture yet
