Did a bunch of posts just disappear out of existence?

Yup

Mod is making sure no BS is allowed

Salted butter wins for sure. The best ones are the ones with the veins of salt crystals.
Sweet and savoury. mmm

 

[Blackpuppy]

If LePen wins, I'm warming up the Epoch and will slam it into her.

 

[Engell]

Just heard about 74% expected participation

 

[Herb Alpert]

Yup

Yet this chocolatine nonsense remains

18 minutes

 

[Muffin1611]

This chocolatine stuff reminds me of Germans talking about Berliner vs. Pfannkuchen.

 

[Fistwell]

I was going to bring up galettes (which are not a thing) vs crêpes de blé noir (which are a thing) but I don't want to be instigating riots. Also, kig ha farz. If your white is sweet you're a monster.

 

[Jezbollah]

Just heard about 74% expected participation

That sounds good. Is that the kind of turnout that was expected?

EDIT: Just saw - lowest since 1969. Eww.

 

[SexyFish]

Got my baguette ready in celebration. Only 16 minutes left.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Bet365 just spoiled the winner

Macron or whatever his name is, is at 1.02

Sorry Le Pen fans

 

[FZZ]

So what are the expectations right now?

Can le pen win this?

In a world where the Brexit happened and Trump happened, everything is possible.

Galette is salted, crêpes are sweet.

Don't wake up the Dragon

It was expected but it's not good. 2nd round is usually 80-85%.

So what are the expectations right now?

No

 

[Stumpokapow]

I think if you read literally anything you would see the answer is no. Macron will win by at least 20 points.

In a world where the Brexit happened and Trump happened, everything is possible.

No, it isn't.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

What does that even mean?

Over 100% chance of winning based on their betting markets

 

[SDCowboy]

Over 100% chance of winning based on their bettinf markets

Ah, ok. Thanks.

 

[Chezzymann]

anyone on US tv covering this? CNN is talking about space right now....

false relativism

I was so relieved when I moved to find out that UK had their butter salted. Couldn't live without it honestly.

No no

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

I'm glad to see that most of GAF seems to be on the right side of the great salted butter controversy.

13 minutes left until The_d gets filled with conspiracy theories about rigged votes.

It was me, I did it. Sorry.

He has the same chance of winning as Canada has in hockey against France

 

[SDCowboy]

Why do people keep bringing up Brexit for these things? Brexit was winning in the polls almost the entire time until the last couple of days, where remain was barely leading.

 

[Red Arremer]

This chocolatine stuff reminds me of Germans talking about Berliner vs. Pfannkuchen.

Berliner and Pfannkuchen aren't even remotely the same though. o_o
Berliner (also known as Krapfen in Southern German areas) are buns filled with jam.
Pfannkuchen are pancakes, and in Germany particularly they're even closer to crepes than the thicker pancakes in the Anglosphere.

French election exit poll average:
- Emmanuel Macron 64%
- Marine Le Pen 36%

From the Telegraph.

.

Ist this supposed to be a good thing, though? If 40% of votes go to a far right candidate in a country which definitly should know better something's definitly wrong with it.

Who cares here what a bunch of anglosaxons are doing in their free time?

No, it isn't.

I read last two pages, the posts seemed unclear

This one confused me as well

"ich bin ein Berliner !"

fyuck this is killing me

That's what bothers me the most. The revisionism and ignorance to suit some kind of stupid narrative.

 

[jufonuk]

come on Macron!!

I still remember the election thread.

Never getting my hopes up until the end.

 

[CrocMother]

Hoping for a greater than expected margin of victory.

I know, I'm German. And that's how I see it too.

But people actually living in Berlin call Berliner Pfannkuchen and Pfannkuchen something else entirely.

They're cray-cray.

Edit: I think they call Pfannkuchen Eierkuchen instead.

 

[Red Arremer]

"ich bin ein Berliner !"

Yes, that's why that line is considered to be amusing to Germans.

I know, I'm German. And that's how I see it too.

Well I don't call either of them that. Berliner are Krapfen (as mentioned) or Sufganiyot to me, and I know pancakes as Palatschinken. But I'm also in Austria. To me all of you Germans are cray-cray, putting sauce on perfectly good Schnitzel or calling Spritzer "Schorle".

Except Bavarians. They're cool.

 

[Palette Swap]

It's been an honor, people. See you guys on the other side.

10 mn left until we see the same politicians going from tv channel to tv channel!

"Éléments de langage", the most annoying thing in modern media and communication.

 

[Fliesen]

Ah, ok. Thanks.

1.02 means for a wager of 1 dollar you'd receive 1 dollar and 2 cents.
(Your profit being 2 cents on a bet of one dollar)

That's roughly the equivalent of betting on a team to win, 5 minutes before the game ends, when they're 3 goals ahead.

just, fyi.

Chrono Trigger, man!

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

In less than 10 minutes, we celebrate​ France or we condemn it.

 

[Aurongel]

I'm seeing scattered word of lower turnout during the runoff. Does anyone have any sources to corroborate or refute that sentiment or is it still far too early to get a quantitative estimate?

Afaik people in Berlin call Berliner a Pfannkuchen.

 

[Eolz]

Le Louvre is such a beautiful place to do it.
Obviously nobody wanted to in a while due to the link to Napoleon, but still! Hope we'll see the Pyramid in some historic shot.
