It's illegal because it endangers other people. People on bicycles, motorcycles or on foot are particularly vulnerable. People don't expect literal whisks to stick out from the wheels of a car.

Without even knowing which law regulating vehicle specifications is violated, I am positive that the German §1 (2) StVO is already violated:

Anyone participating in traffic must conduct themselves in such a way that no other person is harmed, endangered, or hindered or inconvenienced more than is unavoidable under the circumstances.

  • Yes, but if you read further it says:

    The tan that is created by increased melanogenesis typically lasts for a few weeks or months, much longer than the tan that is caused by oxidation of existing melanin

    People usually don't claim to have a tan if they go back to their default skin color three days after their vacation ended, do they?

    Fun fact: The only way to get a tan is through increasing your risk of skin cancer:

    In the second process, triggered primarily by UVB, there is an increase in production of melanin (melanogenesis),[10] which is the body's reaction to direct DNA photodamage (formation of pyrimidine dimers) from UV radiation.

    (The first process is generally not what people refer to by tanning)

    Remember to always use sun screen folks!

    Please read further. I can't be bothered to quote them all but (almost?) none of what follows after the actually seems genuine. Here's the full Texas one for example:

    Actually, Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I’m from Texas. I once witnessed a guy who took a lady cyclist right of way, nothing much you may say, but I got my gun out and shot a hole in the car’s motor the size of a bowling ball. An eye for an eye, thought him a lesson I tell you. Alas, this altercation was witnessed by the police, and I was arrested for aggravated assault. Seems the female cyclist didn’t have the right of way after all. I write these lines from prison, but I would still vote for Trump in the next election.

  • You are aware systems are more than the sums of their parts...?

    A book is more than the sum of its words.

    A painting is more than the sum of its pigments

    Music is more than the sum of its sine waves.

    This is called emergence and is a very basic principle of - well anything, really. The same building blocks arranged in different ways will result in entirely different new objects.

    If you're interested in philosophy, feel free to read a few Wikipedia articles. You're not the first one to ask about the nature of feelings and I am not qualified to have deeper discussions about this topic.

    Kontext:

    Der Hitzerekord in Deutschland wurde erneut gebrochen: Laut den vorläufigen Daten des Deutschen Wetterdiensts (DWD) wurden in Saarbrücken-Burbach um 15 Uhr 41,4 Grad gemessen. An der Wetterstation war bereits am Freitag die bisherige Allzeit-Höchstmarke von 41,2 Grad eingestellt worden.

    Nach den vorläufigen Daten des DWD hielt der Hitzerekord aus Saarbrücken nur kurz. Wie ein Sprecher des Wetterdiensts der Nachrichtenagentur AFP sagte, wurde an der Messstation in Drewitz im Jerichower Land in Sachsen-Anhalt gegen 16.30 Uhr eine Temperatur von 41,5 Grad verzeichnet.

    Eine Person steht in der Mitte des Bildes und schaut nach vorne mit Schrift "Saarbrücken, 15:00 Uhr". Wenige Centimeter dahinter, ohne dass es die vordere Person ahnt, steht eine größere Person mit Schrift "Drewitz, 16:30".
     

    Vielen Dank an Daniel Born, der der AfD einen Bärendienst erwiesen hat.

    Wie kommt ein Politiker überhaupt auf so eine blöde Idee? Leidet die SPD auch noch unter chronischer Kurzsichtigkeit neben den Magenbeschwerden?

    Ohne Verschwörungstheorien zu verbreiten würde ich mir mal wünschen, dass sein Konto kontrolliert wird. Sein Verhalten ist ja beinahe eine zu perfekte Ausrede für sämtliches Naziverhalten von AfDlern.
