RE: Reverse Culture Shock - Back in Berlin

Right, now I have to know why you are called @stortebeker! I never thought about it before - just thought it was a last name, but I know your name, so that's a stupid brain cell thing on my part!

Those sidewalks are bloody massive compared to some countries, especially when they'd be occupied with markets and so on.

Lol I had to laugh at that Berlin snout - that very acerbic, forthright thing that could be construed as fucking rude. The Dutch do it too and it takes you aback somewhat!

What are you doing home?

Hahahaha, I KNEW this would happen at some point! If you scroll back on my profile to some 900 posts ago, there is one that I wrote explaining who Störtebeker was and why I'm using his name as my Hive identifier. Okay, who's gonna do that, right? Exactly!

So I did it! I even timed myself, knowing that it would take forever, and indeed it was just under five minutes before I found it. Here it is, please take a look! What's interesting about it is how it was my eleventh post, that it earned me a good hard quarter, and that it got two upvotes in total (one being my own) and three comments (essentially one comment thread). And I remember how psyched I was about it back then! The only thing I felt sorry about, is that this relatively decent post (okay, I know, I wrote it, but I happen to like it still) ended up going largely unseen... that is until now, thanks to you!

Hey, can you help me with an experiment? I'm going to make a couple of changes to it, mostly just fixing some typos and putting the pics in the center. But I believe that would make the whole thing appear in your feed. Could you check for me please? I appreciate it!

How would it make it appear in my feed!? I don't get it. Off to read now...

... Could you have used Hive Searcher? I guess you have to remember the title or something to get an instant result...

Oh, don't ask me about the HOW, I don't know anything about that. However, as you can see in my Störtebeker post, it must have appeared in someone else's feed too, as it got commented on just after being updated.

As for Hive Searcher, honestly, I haven't had the best results with it in the past (they may have improved it since I last tried, I don't know). I think scrolling back all the way to my beginning was still easier.

Did it take you 0.037 seconds? 🤣🤣🤣

Learning, learning, learning... Thank you, dear @riverflows for your highly effective teaching method. Hive searcher has gotten a neat new place among my Hive tools bookmarks. Now I only need to do something about that burning sensation in my face.

Hahahahah oh darling, sorry xx I appreciate you doing six years of scrolling to find your post though :P xxx

😝 It's okay. Occasionally it's quite nice to roll back a long stream of memories.
