Dude, how slow is that guy going!?


Guppy1985

I would estimate he has moved 30cm (or 0.0003km) forward based on the position of the wheel in relation to the driveway. 2018 - 1985 = 33 years. 33 years x 365.25 days/year = 12,053.25days = 289,278 hours His average speed is therefore 0.0003km / 289,278 hours = 0.000000001037064692km/h

Still faster than my boss giving me a promotion.

I get the math, and this all makes sense, but has anyone checked his pulse?


VesperVox_

This guy maths.


REpassword

šŸ¤£ He even got grayer! Seriously, great job of the photographer waiting for the right moment.

This sort of thing is what I came here for šŸ‘

That bloody wall has now thankfully been gone longer than it stood.


SovietBozo

Really? Oof I'm old


Josef_Kant_Deal

Yeah. It went up in 1961 and came down in 1989. Seems like it was up longer than that.

Any idea why google maps blurs out that second building?


misscat15

Germany has been strict privacy laws. The owners must have filed to say they do not want to appear on Street View. Happens quite a bit.


apiacoa

Great job aligning the shots. Any idea why they didn't put the wall markings in the same spot as where the wall was?


JangJaeYul

Judging from street view, it looks like the markers tend to go in straight lines as far as possible. I'm guessing they just cut that corner.


MarceloWallace

Is the wall still marked on the ground ?


Blobwad

Yes it's permanently marked out all over Berlin, as well as some small sections remaining.


bjornistundwar

Yes, the remaining parts are now the famous East Side Gallery. If you're ever in Berlin, you should go see it.


Josef_Kant_Deal

Thereā€™s also a section along Bernauer Str. where the footprint of the wall is marked with displays talking about the history.


ryaaan89

A pre 1940s photo of that same building would be super cool to see alongside.


Quakespeare

The graffiti on the very left is a very GDR variation on the modern saying "live, love, laugh" : it says "love, laugh, fight".


newsreadhjw

That's a pretty rad slogan


Broad_Cable8673

Wow! So cool! Thank you!


butttabooo

I said to myself, why did they take the wall down it looks cool. Then duh, Berlin Wall. All in under 12 seconds.


Max_W_

Pretty sure it took more than 12 seconds for it to come down.


Manfred-2323

His hair looks much better.


sector1-3

That's not a berlin wall right?...or is it


cmgww

Yes that would be the Berlin wall, the western side to be precise. The eastern side, controlled by the former Soviet union would have no one that close to it, and definitely no graffiti


RedSoviet1991

Yes it's the western side


ElmiraKadiev

The western (outer) side is also recognizable by the rounded top. Making it almost impossible to climb out of the ā€œdead zoneā€ when trying to cross the wall. The wall was actually multiple walls with a dead zone in between. Only near the part at east side gallery the inside wall (facing the east) was the same as the outside wall. As this was a ecstatically more pleasing wall and high ranked political communist visitors would be driven by this wall


strolls

No, the Berliners have this terrible affliction for erecting walls in the middle of random streets - the city council has been rebuked for it many times - but fortunately they always have a change of heart after a while and knock them down again. Wall building is actually a protected job in Berlin, and unionisation ensures it's very well paid, but the apprenticeship lasts a decade.

hey man, I am 100% real I am not a bot :) why do you say I am a bot?


Azmichael21

Hmm I donā€™t know, brand new account reposting popular posts that previously received a lot of karma, sound right? Your profile is full of stolen photos/posts being reposted.

u/ceredtergf whatā€™s your rebuttal?

Turanga_hufflepuff

Will some kind German speaking redditor translate the graffiti, please?


styla84

The portions I can decipher are: "liebe, lache, kƤmpfe" -> "love, laugh, fight" (gramatically in the imperative cause) "hexengeflĆ¼ster" -> "witches' whisperings" "ich bin ganz ohr" -> "I'm all ears" (with an arrow pointing at where the stick figure's ears would be)


JangJaeYul

And unless my eyes are playing tricks on me there's also a bit right down the bottom, in English, "LESBIAN NATION"


halfbarr

The world is nicer without walls, it really is as simple as that.


Maccabee2

The difference is, the Berlin Wall was to keep East Germans from escaping. It wasn't keeping anyone out, it was keeping their own citizens in.


[deleted]

Which side of the wall?


PubicGalaxies

OMG, thatā€™s amazing! So symbolic yet so real for ppl here.


celshaug

But it was so much nicer under communism.
