So, why no German language version?
I am convinced that the majority of Germans are on the spectrum. What other country builds viewing platforms for construction sites?

#222The test doesn't follow the correct procedures for diagnosing autism and after a thorough reading of the DSM-5-TR I could find no mention of German a mental illness being and I challenge anyone to me wrong prove.
For Germans you would use the ICD-11, not the DSM-5-TR.

#223I'm Australian, I didn't finish the stupid test.
You might be Aussietistic?

In Switzerland, when you pass by a building site that has opaque boards up around the perimeter, they often have a little hand-sized cutout at eye level so you can have a peek inside. It's strange, and I assume it is for the curious to have a look, not sure.

Some fence holes are to allow wind through and reduce the sail effect. Not sure if that applies to your reference.

#226Earlier quoted context omitted.
The Deutsche Bahn rather cancel trains completely instead of them being late - which also says something.
People love to parrot this, but it's not true and makes no sense for them to try and game the system this way. The mandatory compensation and bad press from cancelled trains is way more costly on them than having poor punctuality statistics. The reason that a late train can sometimes be cancelled is to try and stop a cascade of delays from happening. Tracks only have so much capacity, and if train gets delayed into a…
You are absolutely correct and the context is also right. My comment was a little bit out of frustration (happend several times). I only heard about it from an amazing ccc talk (https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10652-bahnmining_-_punktlichkeit...).

#227Question 9 imho is the most German one ("When someone says 'we should get coffee sometime,' you understand this to mean:"). It depends on context a bit obviously, but most Germans are sincere about it. You either propose coffee or you don't. However, there's a subset of Germans who seem to propose coffee and then don't follow up themselves, but it's not just a phrase. If you are the one to follow up, they'd join you.…

#229Regarding punctuality I miss the option: “A moral obligation from my side, but I don’t care if others arrive late to an appointment with me”
It depends. If I invite you to my house, I don't really care unless you're too early or _very_ late. If we are to meet in public - like restaurant - I don't want to awkwardly wait 15 minutes or more. At the very least, early notice is an obligation.
