I'm currently making my way to Berlin on the RE8 train, which I caught from Holthusen. Considering the positively diminutive community which this station serves, it is remarkably well-looked after, in my opinion. RE8 Holthusen b Schwerin Bahnhof -> […] [Original post on social.seabass.systems]

I managed to achieve a bucket list item of mine today: to make a journey on Berlin's newest S-Bahn line, S15! The train itself was just an ordinary BR 481, used on several lines in Berlin. Towards Hauptbahnhof, the S15 leaves Gesundbrunnen and […] [Original post on social.seabass.systems]

So the German word for "fluff" can be masculine, feminine and neuter simultaneously? This explains so much about the German-speaking furries here on the Fediverse! Not sure examining their appendixes is strictly necessary, though :neofox_think:

@smolrobots I just broke one of my case's wheels clean off whilst trying to drag it over a tram line :( I think there may be demand for a 'luggagebot' that lifts your cases over small obstructions like rails, kerbs and cobblestones!
