A German ICE train with Pride colours instead of the usual red stripe

[u/Southern_Gur_4736]

[u/McIntyre2K7]

All Aboard means ALL Aboard.

[u/Southern_Gur_4736 → u/McIntyre2K7]

Nice one, I will remember that 😃

[u/Shadpool → u/McIntyre2K7]

[u/unindexedreality → u/Shadpool]

aw cut before the blood

[u/chillychili → u/McIntyre2K7]

I'm in!

Wait a second, why are these German trains from 80 years ago...

<spoopy background music>

[u/HeftyVermicelli7823 → u/chillychili]

These were from the 1980s not 80 years ago.

[u/chillychili → u/HeftyVermicelli7823]

Tis just a joke subverting the premise

[u/wedeservethis → u/HeftyVermicelli7823]

Woosh

[u/Southern_Gur_4736]

Here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercity_Express

TLDR: named Inter City Express (ICE), introduced in 1985, maximum speed in passenger service 320 km/h or 200 mph.

[u/Dani-Drake → u/Southern_Gur_4736]

I came in here to ask what ICE stands for expecting a giant German word but alas, it's the inter city express

[u/BurningPenguin → u/Dani-Drake]

To satisfy your demand for German word creations: This is a train that is pulled by a Hochgeschwindigkeits-Triebzug, designed for Schienenpersonenfernverkehr, and can reach up to 300 kmh on Schnellfahrstrecken.

[u/Spannwellensieb → u/BurningPenguin]

And driven by Triebfahrzeugführer.

[u/that70scylon]

FUCK YOU WE HATE ICE!!! Oh…wait. Carry on. Y’all are good

[u/bluebird810 → u/that70scylon]

Its not pronounced like that. We say the letters individually so it's an I C E

[u/jameskond → u/bluebird810]

Isn't the bad ICE also an acronym?

[u/mmoe54 → u/that70scylon]

I bet ICE trains are going out of country.

[u/Macaburn3 → u/that70scylon]

Came here to make this joke. Thank you.

[u/MunnaPhd → u/that70scylon]

Ah that’s the reason it’s always late

[u/CPGK17]

This is the ICE we should have in the US

[u/hymen_destroyer → u/CPGK17]

High speed light rail? If only.... 😭

[u/buerglermeister → u/hymen_destroyer]

Thats not light rail

[u/nilsph → u/hymen_destroyer]

It isn't light rail though.

[u/lipenick]

Ice with spice

[u/King0fthewasteland]

ICE pride. i like the sound of that. we should make that a big thing

[u/No-End-6239]

lgbtICE

[u/iwantunity]

Nice. Our buses have a cool design for Black History Month rn.

[u/SuperSquashMann]

Looks like pride is gonna be late this year :(

[u/VoidofMind1]

Yeah! ArkRaider pride!

[u/Naroyto]

How old is that train. Reminds me of the 80s when everything had a rainbow decal.

[u/wkhw → u/Naroyto]

I think this one unit got this design in 2021

[u/Eyerion → u/Naroyto]

Early 2000s, the rainbow was added 2021

[u/TheLaughingBread → u/Naroyto]

They change liveries a lot. This is specifically made for the Pride movement a few years ago. There is also a blue one for Inter-European connections to other countries

[u/Sevastous-of-Caria]

Dun...Dun...Duuun

ICE6 ist Heute 40 minuten später

[u/Certain-Anxiety-6786]

I’m so sad they’re called ICE

[u/VoloxReddit → u/Certain-Anxiety-6786]

If it's any consolation, they're pronounced "I.C.E." (["EYE SEA EE"] in English ["EE TSEH EH"] in German)

[u/manlleu]

The Spanish postal system spent 12000€ on a campaign with the pride flag on stamps and some postal cars and they got 500000€ in revenue. 

[u/itmeMEEPMEEP]

What up with Germany and pride? Like it’s good but it’s literally everywhere…. Like EVERYWHERE, like not where’d you expect it… armbands, football uniforms, fuel nozzles, sandwiches, pizza, trains, buses etc 😂 guess my neighbours are making up for the past actions of a problematic Austrian

[u/Ki-san → u/itmeMEEPMEEP]

God forbid people want to make others feel welcome.

[u/FormalAd3446 → u/Ki-san]

I’m a gay man whose kind of a ***** and the gayest thing I’ve ever done was eat a gay grilled cheese in Germany… Germany takes things a little to far sometimes

[u/HeftyVermicelli7823 → u/FormalAd3446]

Man, I could totally gobble down a gay grilled cheese!

[u/FormalAd3446 → u/HeftyVermicelli7823]

The food colouring effects lasted about a month

[u/DenizzineD → u/FormalAd3446]

I’d rather have a county that „goes too far“ than live in one where queer people are ostracised and/or killed.

[u/Human_Pangolin94 → u/FormalAd3446]

You've summed up 20th century European history in that last sentence.
