The culture clash is pretty interesting here. There are so many things that are connected. There isn't even a connection made between being on time and respecting the other, people are flabbergasted when you tell them that. But after a while, it does take off some pressure at least. I always let everyone know when I'm running late, even if I still might be there on time, but just for the possibility - but I don't hurry as much anymore. I don't stress myself. It's like "Okay, this will take longer than expected, I'll let X know that I will arrive at 2.30pm instead of 2pm, and all good." And when X reads the message while stepping out of the shower at 2.15pm, they will be like "Such a German." and arrive at 2.45pm.

I'll just put the bread in the oven for 2 hours... fourteen hours later... "Who wants to buy some charcoal? Artist deal!
Did you know that Pumpernickel has a baking time of around 18h? At lower temperature, of course - but time is only one factor!
In case you hadn't noticed, I don't know how to make bread. I might pick your brains on discord about one of my story ideas, when I get closer to starting to write about it. Bread is a protagonist, in a way.
As it should be. Will you include horrible buns?
It's certainly a paradigm shift when you accept it being what it is.
