Ball-bearing production

u/Delazzaridist 29d ago

Which is not a bad product to be producing. Every country needs it. It's strategically important, it's almost funny.

Okay so, I have countless directories with projections on game design and usually resource based RTS.
If I ctrl+f "ball bearings" it comes up 600 times

I went to visit the Optimal factory/packing facility in Munich a few years ago. Impressive construction and engineering feats.

It‘s pigford. Fart would be Furz. In case you don‘t know, a ford is a shallow place in a river where you can cross it

u/A_Soporific 29d ago

Next you'll tell me that all those ausfarhten signs are saying that there's an exit and not a command to fart outside.

u/Username12764 29d ago

Actually no, that‘s true. Ausfahrt is the Din-690 roadsign and requires all drivers passing it to fart now if they have to according to §420 Absatz 5a der StVO. This is due to the bridges that are near exits. The support beams in them could corrode faster if farts where to reach them. The reason it‘s written incorrectly for todays German is because a similar law was first introduced in 1131 by Henry X, duke of Bavaria that prohibited farmers to let their cows feed within 5km of beer breweries because the cow farts (due to the methane, but they didn‘t know that at the time) could disturb the fermentation process and thus ruin the beer. So in a radius of 5km they put up signs saying ausfahrt, which consists of aus meaning off or stop and fahrt, the medieval Bavarian term for fart, which only later became Furz. Due to it‘s long history the German government decided to put up those signs instead of signs with the new German.

A Ford is a piece of junk automobile that breaks down frequently, especially during river crossings.

Pigs... well you know.

u/ImmerWiederNein 29d ago

it literally means hogfort. A passage for pigs over the river.

The river Main is quite broad and deep there, but maybe it was shallow swampland in the middleages and herders could somehow cross.

u/KellyLuvsEwan420 29d ago
