![Often a person believes himself to be so wise
and believes to gain highest fame thereby,
when the juice of the grapes has affected him negatively.
The next one believes that he is so rich
that even the emperor might not be an equal to him.
The third appears like an extremely hungry horse,
so no one can push enough of fresh or rotten food into the ever open mouth.
The fourth one screams cries over his heavy sins,
and his heart is passionately in flames out of deep repentance
for strange reasons that no one can comprehend.
The fifth one desires to do unchaste actions,
to which he is dedicated day and night,
once he has become addicted to the power of wine.
The sixth has a miserable practice:
He condemns the soul through [false] oaths
so that she will be entirely exhausted when facing God.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o7cjkbvotxydby7uvvx32hkm/bafkreihj6mwjvb7agent37kz5vqtxnwlgknbejh4jzacfbpiqlzfcg6j3i@jpeg)

The seventh is ready to fight, he growls like a dog held by a chain and who barks all the time; its round head is ready for a fight. The eighth becomes so happy out of drunkenness that he is ready to sell his honor, property, wife, and children; the evilness of drunkenness shows in him. The ninth helplessly becomes crazy, everything that he knows, sees, or hears, he presents openly to everyone. The tenth fights against sleep. The eleventh sings wild songs and screams totally uninhibited both in the evening and in the morning. The twelfth becomes so drunk from heavy drinking that he feels the alcohol already at the top portion of his throat and voluntarily pays a tribute to the innkeeper.
15th century poem by Oswald von Wolkenstein listing the 12 types of drunkard

germans do NOT play around about their ancient grains !!
i looked online and cant find it anywhere!!
it says ‘amaranth: the power grain’ in rainbow letters with an illustration of a smiling grain 😭
a guy on the train in berlin is wearing a pin badge, of the sort one might wear in support of a band or political cause, but his is in support of the ancient grain amaranth
no brand or anything just Amaranth
or as they say in frankfurt, mit oder ohne musik!
hey, thats KOMISCHE MITTELALTERLICHE KUMPELN to you!!
it turns out being a decent german second language speaker is a lot like being a precocious 5 year old!
es hängt von bestimmten dingen ab. dingen in der erde.
the worst part was i kept laughing and the younger one was like ‘why do you laugh so much it’s weird’
my german knowledge really broke down when it came to their questions on the finer points of paleontology and geology. ‘manchmal, wenn ein Tier stirbt, werden die Knochen zur Stein. Aber manchmal auch nicht’
‘yes, you did approach a random person and talk in german with them. no, it doesnt always work like that’
young children r so cool, last year on the beach in whitby two random german kids came up and started talking to me. only after two hours of looking for fossils with them did one ask why my german was so bad at which point i had to explain that not everyone speaks german well, not least in yorkshire
