  • Tbh, it’s not a fairy tale but an illustrated children’s book written in 1845 by Heinrich Hoffman for his three year old kid. It was one of the first illustrated books, so it is considered to be one of the first comic books. Each story has a morale but is way over the top.

    Interestingly a lot of the descibed behavior is known to be with ADHD or anorexia, today.

    Growing up in Germany I always find Struwelpeter a quite horrible book (yes, I too had it a kid).

    The footrest is still there in a manual car. The brake pedal is smaller, the clutch in between.

    When you brake you hit the clutch with the left foot and brake with the right one on the brake pedal. Unintentionally smashing the wider brake pedal can happen if you switch from a smaller car to one with a very wide brake pedal. (Mercedes have quite wide brake pedals, for example)

    It also happened a few times to me over my. life until I got used to put my left foot very close to the seat when driving automatic, so I don’t subconsciously use it. (Just “away” from where I’d have it in a manual car)

    It typically happens if you need to do emergency braking anyways and just all the reflexes kick in. In normal situations it never happened to me.






  • Exactly this thought made made me understand “god is irrelevant” a long time ago and I became an agnosticist.

    I really can not understand people who are only “good” because they fear an ultimate judgment, and not be good just because they want to out of their own volition.

    In case there are gods, I’ll be judged for who I am, anyways. It doesn’t matter if I play “good child”. If there are no gods, I’m still happier if I’m not an asshole.
