TIL: @nickfarr doesn't know "Sendung mit der Maus". 🤯

A while ago I said "the guy with the funny helmet carrying my DNS request must have tripped", when diagnosing some issue and I got the weirdest blank looks from my colleagues.

Turns out none of my colleagues grew up with German television, so nobody knew how the internet actually works.

Die Seite mit der Maus - Internet

Armin erklärt, wie das Internet funktioniert. Er zeigt, was passiert, wenn man eine Seite aufruft und die Daten in den Kabeln unterwegs sind.

I know that feeling. Referring to TV shows of your childhood. Then your colleagues are either too old to have seen them, as they didn't watch kids TV back then, or they were not born yet 😅

@hikhvar In my case it's a very international team. The intersection set of shows we watched as children is rather small.

Oh that as well. I took a bit of time to adopt to international memes only. Stuff like "Anzeige ist raus" or "Küchenblechmafia" doesnt work in international teams 😅 @flowfx @nickfarr
