Since URLs normally cannot contain non-ASCII characters, companies with names such as Fränk, Ölfarbe, and Spülwelt would have URLs like fraenk.de, oelfarbe.de, and spuelwelt.de

However, a couple of days ago, I saw a sign for a company with a name like Weißenwalder with a web site name of weiszenwalder.de

This is the first time I have seen ß changed to the s-z version (un-ligatured?) rather than a double s, which is what I expected. Is this normally the case?

#AltText Menu for „Tomato Week“. AI version shows tomatoes with weird-looking seeds on left and right and at bottom. Menu text is in the middle.

Found this at a local restaurant. I first attempted to use an image editing program, but the results were terribly unsatisfying. I decided to call the whole thing off and start again from scratch using LibreOffice Draw. The tomato photos are free photos from Pexels and Pixabay. Photographers are Unal Aslan, Autun Zenith, Alexas Fotos, and Budget Bizar. [edit for wording]

I found this tiny bit of art embedded in the wall of the stairway to the Uhrturm. I never noticed it before yesterday, and I sort of wonder how long it has been there. I would guess it’s about 10 cm in diameter.

Melted chocolate and pistachio over banana and strawberry. (German text says „100% fresh ingredients“ at left and „made with love“ at right.) I have started to refer to any restaurant using AI for their menus/adverts as a slop-eteria.

#AltText Gold sign with black text for a notary public (öffentlicher Notar) with too much space between the N and the O.

#AltText: Sign on window of a vending machine storefront: S naks Drinks and More

I have seen this sticker in several places in Graz. I am guessing it has something to do with sports teams, but I do not have the cultural cues to understand it. Could someone please explain the humor in this?

#AltText: Stick-figure drawing of a man in striped referee shirt pointing at an athlete and saying HA HA. The athlete is wearing a red jersey with the number 2 on it. He is sad and a tear is falling from his eyes.
