Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Berlin.
Many people hate Berlin. I don't. It's got so much variety, there are neighbourhoods surrounded by lakes, neighbourhoods that are basically in the woods, beautiful neighbourhoods like Charlottenburg and very urban neighbourhoods. Want something good to eat? There'll be something amazing nearby. They have trams running through the forest. There are trains going to Amsterdam and Prague. You can get everywhere by public transport (outside town in Brandenburg too). It's surrounded by a beautiful state, where you can watch cranes migrate in huge flocks and where you can skate on natural ice in winter.
I live near Freiburg now. Everybody loves Freiburg and the Black Forest. But I miss Berlin.
Shhhh! We keep up that reputation deliberately so not even more people come here and worsen the housing crisis ;)
Berlin is a dirty shithole lol
?? never been?
My favorite city I've ever visited.
Its not a dirty shit hole, not more than any other metropole city. But it suffers from what many cities post ww2, especially german cities, supper from: ugly block architecture and car centered infrastructure
Affordable social architecture for people, not castles and churches built on slave labor.
West (not east) Berlin paid people to take the mouldings off their historic buildings. Nothing to do with affordable social architecture.
You can build affordable and beautiful. Prove, castle in berlin vs the national museum in stockholm which do you think cost more?
It's not just to do with WW2, both east and west Berlin loved tearing down and uglifying old buildings (seriously, west Berlin paid people to tear off decorations) for some reason.
