        You, errr, might want to google the birthday of a certain well known German leader of the 30s and 40s…

          This was a joke for 420. I know that this is also his birthday. Just don’t care in this context

            Years ago, a coworker greeted me with “Happy 420!”

            • Me: “Oh, I didn’t know you celebrated Hitler’s birthday.”
            • Him: "What?”
            • Me: “April 20th was Hitler’s birthday.”
            • Him: long pause and blank stare “I DIDN’T KNOW HITLER WAS A STONER DURHURHUR!”
            • And then I got a new job.

            Happy you’re celebrating, you’re clearly German and would know, but honestly, we don’t use the date format, don’t encourage them. And April 1st is even better.

    This article reads as if nobody wanted to legalize it which is wrong. The population was asking for legalization for many years now. Finally the new “traffic light coalition” made the change.
