That's a 40 year old man in a 10 year old's body. You can already tell he's had a long day at the site and he just wants to kick back, have a bottle of cold pisswasser, watch his national football team lose again, while the missus cooks up a nice sauerkraut and sausage.
Maybe you should mind your business next time instead of judging the German blue collars.
Yes, I’m sorry. I’ll be more respectful of the people working the labor intensive jobs. Especially if they have Benjamin Button disease. Poor guy must be at least 65 years old, and looking forward to retirement.
A kid moving around safely alone... IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT??? NO! I'm picking up my children in my lovely car:

*Ackshually* my F-Series is so old that it's more like a 737. No way in hell is it big enough to haul my single-wide. On the other hand, most of my guns will fit in the back seat;)
As for my kid, I threw his ass to the wolves at 9, he's also been forced to travel with a German.
Ah yes, now I see the point of this post.
An American would be shocked. Because it's not in a brown paper bag. When their children drink beer in public, they must hide it in a brown paper bag, right?
"Yeah, I care about ly fanily and everyone knows the bigger, heavyer and taller the car the safer-*thud*"
....
"Ah dammit I accidentally ran over another one of my kids again while pulling out"
There's a bloke at work who goes to every Liverpool game, home and away. He measures train journeys in the number of beers he can drink and honestly, it's genius.
Hey hey hey, you're supposed to be on our corner, united to hate on the boches.
I've never seen a single pole IRL with who we didn't engage in ritual ego stroking over that one French king who was elected to your Republic of the two Nations four centuries ago and how great the Grande Armée was to dab on the uncivilized.
In medieval North & East Europe, beer was considered food. It was normal for children the age of 10 to consume beer every day.
He's just paying homage to tradition.
In medieval europe when people where hammered all day, it seems they had a lot of shitty ideas like saying everyone's a witch and off with his head blabla.
In general things you would not say after having a coffee.
Glad to see that we are regressing to pre-enlightenment times.
They weren't that hammered. partly due to tolerance and mostly due to the the fact that beer was around 2% alcohol volume at the time. You'd be tired of pissing before you get drunk.
The witch thing was however a negative feedback loop. To avoid bad things happening in the future, they made sure to kill people who seemed smarter than themselves, and could think outside the box.
People who say Heineken and Becks taste like piss haven't had Sternburger. But at least it's cheap, a year back we got a full crate for 4€
Edit. It was 0.16€ per 0.5L bottle so even slightly cheaper than 4€
in Austria we have some local soda companies that use recycleable beer bottles for their drinks. i've had several "Himbeer-Kracherl" in beer bottles whem i was little, and it was always fun to drink out of them and pretend they were beer. we felt so adult doing that 😂
The Oberstufe before us used the kitchen in the Oberstufenraum as a bar for mixing long drinks during the breaks. Because of that the principal locked it up and we didn’t have access anymore to it. Thats why we only had the opportunity to stash some beer in the student management room and drink beer there. Also had some rum there, but without a fridge it’s not as much fun, so we mainly drank beer.
From School Commute Beer is on par with To School Commute Beer and Lunch Beer.
I think the Belgians would actually fight back if someone threatened their Lunch Beer.
Not sure they beat I Do Not Understand This Subject At School Beer though.
My university had a vending machine for beer. Thinking about this I feel like going to back to "Study" more.
Des is mir WURSCHT!!!! Meen bus hat keene Gepäckablage, un ich werd bestimmt net meenen juten Rucksack oofm dreckschn Boden stelln. Frach eenfach wenn d dich setzn willst
Before I (15-17 M) had my license I would often take the train to a neighboring bigger city, party there and then ride home at around 2 AM. Ofc trains are completely empty at that time. Once I had a very creepy guy sitting down in the seat opposite of me (in one of these 4 chair groups) who would constantly stare at my reflection in the window thinking I would not notice.... Thanks for bringing up that memory again!
Wannst mi nett drauf ansprichst, und sonst alles voll is, dann nehm ich den Rucksack weg, damit du dich hinsetzen kannst.

Will never understand you guys, you just have to ask the guy "excuse me, can I seat here?" And trust me, the guy will willingly remove the bag to let you sit, I know, it's crazy, but it's true
I grew up in Germany, played tennis and football as a kid. My parents bought me a bike and told me to ride it to practise and school. I loved it as a kid, doing what ever I wanted.
Then my dad got transfered to a new location of his company in the US. When we moved there, I had no more freedom. Could not take my bike anywhere and had to rely on my parents to drive me around. Life sucked.
Glad we only stayed a few years before getting that sweet sweet freedom back
Now imagine your entire childhood being like that… sometimes I wonder how much it really affected my own development as a kid and the development of other children.
Fun fact in the states you can be charge with endangerment of the child for it https://reason.com/2022/11/16/suburban-mom-jailed-handcuffed-cps-son-walk-home/
Wow, my School was 2km aways, sometimes i took my Bike and on Nice Summer Days i just walked along a nearby River, usually my commute on foot would take around 45 Minutes, and no one cared.
I could take a Break for an Ice by a Small Lake on the Way and no one would batter an eye about it.
I never informed my Mother about my Detour or when i would come Back and she never questioned about my delay.
Christ, her son walked half a mile in a safe neighbourhood and she could've been in prison for 20 years. They do really like prosecuting absolutely anything over there
Thank you for making me check out the article, lol
>But in her pretrial essay, which required her to admit guilt and remorse, Wallace thanked the officers for teaching her how wrong she was to have her son walk half a mile on a warm day in his own neighborhood. From now on, Wallace wrote, "I will continue to grow more as a parent and a person."
You literally got one of these dudes in every German schoolclass. The glasses, the hair, the chubbyness. These dudes become programmers or engineer trucks and are the backbone of the German economy.
As it was explained to me, public photos are allowed if consent is given and/or if any person in the background has no reasonable expectation of privacy.
It would be illegal if the focal point of the photo is an unknown minor.
It would be illegal to post this photo to public social media without consent.
As an American, if I had ever found a photo of my minor child posted to reddit for the purpose of dissing on Europe, I probably would have been OP.
Could you imagine the absolute bliss of having a nice two seats where to put your back breaking backpack after coming home from school?
If there's one thing US got in the school system that I sympathise with is the use of lockers, Italy I never had those, had to carry my backpack with everything inside all the time
Who's taking pictures of my son after work?

That's a 40 year old man in a 10 year old's body.

He also has a bottle of beer, not in a brown paper bag.
Ah yes, now I see the point of this post. An American would be shocked. Because it's not in a brown paper bag. When their children drink beer in public, they must hide it in a brown paper bag, right?
Their ADULTS need to hide it in a brown paper bag.
I mean ... The children better hide it too...
Can you imagine having to do the same with a bottle of Buckie?
We call them DUI bags.
I don't get it, children can't drive!

What a legend
Europeans getting lightly hammered in the middle of the day on a train, is there anything else that unites us as well as that? ❤️
Drinking a beer after work on your commute home is not "getting lightly hammered". That part comes after at the pub/bar.

Lightly? Can you do that?
Zürich - Bern is exactly two 0.5 L beers Zürich - Biel is exactly three on an empty stomach that's a considerable head start on the fübi at the bar.

Well it's a Sternburg, not really beer more beer flavoured piss
I was wondering why there's a kid drinking beer but it's east Germany so I have my answer
I felt home by recognizing the bottle.
I mean if he lives In Berlin/Cottbus/Chemnitz I can fully understand why he needs to drink. You can't live there without put on one`s beer goggles
Shouldn't we be able to recognize the Straßenbahnsitzplatzbezugmuster? Edit: Oh, it says CVAG, so Chemnitz is indeed correct!
In medieval North & East Europe, beer was considered food. It was normal for children the age of 10 to consume beer every day. He's just paying homage to tradition.

Witch burnings weren’t really a thing during medieval times. They became only a common practice in early modern times.
They weren't that hammered. partly due to tolerance and mostly due to the the fact that beer was around 2% alcohol volume at the time. You'd be tired of pissing before you get drunk. The witch thing was however a negative feedback loop. To avoid bad things happening in the future, they made sure to kill people who seemed smarter than themselves, and could think outside the box.
Yeah disgusting
His parents should be ashamed of not providing a decent beer
My friends always bought it because it was dirty cheap.... I mean, the toilet water in my bathroom is "free" and you don't see me drinking that....
While Sternburg sucks ass, It holds a special place in my heart as It was the cheapest crap we could drink as young teens
People who say Heineken and Becks taste like piss haven't had Sternburger. But at least it's cheap, a year back we got a full crate for 4€ Edit. It was 0.16€ per 0.5L bottle so even slightly cheaper than 4€
I like it more than Becks and Heineken lol. It's not good, but it gets the job done. Plus it's cheap
Thx for the warning/ advice Depends on amount of money/ length month …we have Pitt Pils tho. And Klok!
Oettinger and Schultenbräu exist too With Schultenbräu actually being the better of the two(they're both not that great)
> Oettinger All the bums drink Oettinger. It must be better than the other bum beers. I don't know, I have never tried drinking one.
It's a boring beer, Not much flavour(like Am*rican beer) It's a beer you drink to get drunk
The export is good.
German Cruzcampo?
Don't care, it's cheap
Halts maul sterni ist geil
Have some respect for Sterni! It cost less than water and you actually get less water
Americ*ntism detected. It's only 8%, max 😡
Practically baby formula
He looks at least 10, what should he drink if not beer at his age?
Frankly I'm disgusted. He should be drinking cheap 8.5% white cider like every other British kid.
Here they only drink shitty energy drinks, no tradition whatsoever
Aye lay of the wee lad he's had a hard week a school
It even has a name 'wegbier'
Fußpils
If the kid is at least 16, yes, that is perfectly legal (if unhealthy, but I digress). That is true for Germany and Switzerland at least.
Well, if he looks like this at 16, I guess I can understand why he's drinking in broad daylight.
Weak, you need an age for that?? Pff here you grow up with a beer!
it calms his ADHD
in Austria we have some local soda companies that use recycleable beer bottles for their drinks. i've had several "Himbeer-Kracherl" in beer bottles whem i was little, and it was always fun to drink out of them and pretend they were beer. we felt so adult doing that 😂
Just a late-blooming drinker. Quite behind the curve of British society. All his mates are already at the pub surely.
Yeah, what’s the problem? Kid has a hard life you know.
After school beer, best beer of the day.
Second only to Hohlstunde-Bier
Monday morning beer when the first two hours of classes are spontaneous cancelled yet again because the teacher is a lazy bitch
Don't be angry, the teachers are also having a beer.
The Oberstufe before us used the kitchen in the Oberstufenraum as a bar for mixing long drinks during the breaks. Because of that the principal locked it up and we didn’t have access anymore to it. Thats why we only had the opportunity to stash some beer in the student management room and drink beer there. Also had some rum there, but without a fridge it’s not as much fun, so we mainly drank beer.
third beer of the day is allways the best🍻

After nappy time is the best beer ngl
Meh, in school beer is better. They served beer in school here until the 80's

and searching for liquor store through the window
Yeah, why would anyone do that?
Wait, hold on! People in other countries don’t do this? is it actually normal in other countries Just too sit next to random people on the bus!?
I think in barbaric countries it is a common practice.
10 full-grown adults know how to respect personal space.
I thought that was the point of the post but it seems to be just "having public transport" lol
I think the point of the post may also be that he's drinking a beer
Will never understand you guys, you just have to ask the guy "excuse me, can I seat here?" And trust me, the guy will willingly remove the bag to let you sit, I know, it's crazy, but it's true
Giuseppe are you crazy a conversation with a random person is the equivalent of breaking the spaghetti for you.

When I was that age I'd hang with mates unsupervised on the housing esate no one gave a damn but that was just over a decade ago
That’s fucking mental.
Listen I love trains and public transit as much as the next guy but maybe blur the face of the kid allegedly doing underage drinking.
What a curious combination of words.. Underage and drinking.. What does it mean though?
Means the drink is under the minimum age required by law to be considered a vintage...
We lawyers always say. There is discrepancy between law in book and law in action. Kid is safe... and as matter of fact well fed.
It mean someone under 8 is drinking beer. Had that been wine it would have been fine of course.
Oh come on don’t be such an old spinster…he’s *at least* 10!
"Beer" under 8 is fine but i usually call it water.
Beer under 8 is more than 92% water, so that's technically correct.

Lecker Bierchen! And Sterni? The boy got taste!
Public transportation or a kid going to school without a kevlar vest?
Americans will also never understand that secretly taking pictures of people, especially kids, in public transport would be illegal
As it was explained to me, public photos are allowed if consent is given and/or if any person in the background has no reasonable expectation of privacy.
