Always makes me giggle a bit like an idiot when I see OS/2’s equivalent of the “trash” or “recycle bin”. The English original calls it “shredder” (which is appropriate – it deletes files, there is no delay like in Windows 95’s “recycle bin”) …

… but the German word for it is “Reißwolf”. That used to be a more or less common term, but nowadays it’s quite archaic. And it sounds needlessly violent. 😂🐺

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aktenvernichter is almost as violent as Reißwolf, yeah. 😅 I just call these things Schredder. (Very useful, btw. I love mine and use it quite often. 😅)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Heh, that’s a good idea. 😂 I just use it to dispose of any kind of “sensitive” document. I don’t want the crazy people to rummage through my garbage. 😏😆
