I'd previously mumbled about how growing up in post-WW2 Germany is a bit weird because construction work keeps turning up unexploded bombs and everyone just kind of goes "oh, okay, another one of those"
there was one found in Nuremberg again yesterday but when searching for news reports about it I'm just finding other articles about one found in February (also in Nuremberg)
here's a screenshot of the "related articles" bit from one of them
it's KIND OF WEIRD to think that Germans just grow up knowing that there's *literally tons* of explosives buried around the towns they live in that MIGHT blow up at any point especially if disturbed but they probably won't so it's just kind of taken as a fact of life
@theoutrider never even thought about it tbh
though in Aachen it's way more common to find some Roman or medieval remains when digging somewhere, which is the point where you take a six-month break from whatever you're building and let the archeologists do their thing. At least a bomb is usually dealt with quickly
