All jokes a slide

We're kidnapping the werewolf crew for a different kind of event this time! Berlin's finest, edgiest comedians are coming together to tell us what crazy world we’d live in if they ruled it. And because a mic alone wasn't enough, they are presenting their new world order with laser pointers and a slideshow. This is an absolute premiere, and the lineup is pure gold! Our host: Brendan Hickey has basically shaped the Berlin comedy scene through his Epic Comedy club. There’s nobody better suited to host "All Jokes A Slide." The comedians: Maxim Kremer doesn't just entertain his massive Instagram following with his stoic, hilarious persona. His slides will crack us up too. Žana Fejzić is the lady of the bunch, but don't be deceived. She'll lure you in with her charm, then go for the kill, one slide at a time. Dayne Brasher brings his Australian charm alongside a vibe that might remind you of The Dude, or at the very least, make you laugh like a little girl. Come join us for a hilarious night. With or without you, this is going to be one to remember. This event is free, kindly sponsored by AI presentation maker Gamma, but please grab your ticket on Eventbrite anyway: https://www.eventbrite.de/e/all-jokes-a-slide-tickets-2001883949783?aff=oddtdtcreator And get there early, doors open at 7pm and the first 30 visitors score some Gamma swag: stylish tote bags for free. Plus, you'll want a good spot before the room fills up, because once it's full, it's full. You'll be asked a werewolf question at signup, feel free to be creative and make the regular werewolf organizers laugh ;)

Curiosity Lab - The hidden life of water - An evening of experiments

A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!

The Java User Group Berlin-Brandenburg and our partner [codecentric](https://www.codecentric.de/) invite you to the talk **A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!** by Ronald Dehuysser on **October the 7th, 2026**. **A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!** (Ronald Dehuysser): Are you struggling with CPU-intensive tasks, high I/O work, or do you need to schedule background jobs without blocking the rest of your system? I often see teams building a scheduling solution themselves, severely underestimating the complexity of running jobs asynchronously. A costly endeavour, especially with a simple, free and open-source solution readily available. Find out more at https://jug-berlin-brandenburg.de/blog/2026/jobrunner/

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

Curiosity Lab - The Hidden Life Of Water - A Hands-On Evening

**Can you actually watch water leave a living cell?** This evening, you can. I’m a science teacher in Berlin, and I’d love to invite you into our science classroom for a relaxed, hands-on evening of microscopes, simple experiments, surprising discoveries and good conversation. Together, we’ll explore **osmosis** — one of those processes that quietly keeps life working. Every living cell has to manage the movement of water. Get that balance wrong, and cells can swell, shrink or stop functioning properly. And osmosis is not just something from a biology textbook. It helps explain why wilted lettuce becomes crisp again in water, why salt draws water out of food, why drinking seawater makes dehydration worse, and why the balance of water and salts in our bodies matters so much. You’ll prepare and observe living red onion cells under the microscope and actually see what happens when water moves in and out. We’ll connect what you observe with familiar examples from everyday life, so you leave not only having seen something usually invisible, but understanding **why it matters**. You don’t need to remember anything from school biology. The idea is simply to spend an enjoyable evening being curious together: trying things out, asking questions, discovering something new and meeting other people along the way. Come because you like science, because you haven’t looked through a microscope in years, because you enjoy learning — or simply because doing something a little different with a group of curious people sounds like a good evening. The event is in person and completely free of charge, offered as part of our school’s community activities. Expect microscopes, simple experiments, and a closer look at something that is happening inside living organisms all the time — usually completely invisible to us. Because this is a hands-on session in a classroom, places are limited to **20 participants**. Registration is therefore needed. If you sign up, please only do so if you genuinely intend to come, so that none of the limited places go unused. You are very welcome to come on your own or bring a friend. If you bring someone, please make sure they register separately as well so we can stay within the classroom capacity. **No science background needed — just curiosity.** Register [HERE](https://terminplaner.dfn.de/public/bookings/9f8cbab1-80f7-429a-8056-a6efa4d6f8d0) If you have any questions, just send me a message. I hope to welcome many of you at the event. Kindly, Maria
