Yes, there’s a stop of exhalation between the s and the K. If there wasn’t, it would sound more like the sk of the English word sky instead.
EDIT: He does not, however, stop between Kindern and werden and not between werden and Leute, which does sound weird to me. Less like standard German and more like a dialect.
I would be interested to know still if you hear the glottal stops you’re talking about in the example above, though?
In the voice changed output for “Das Kind”? It’s not perfect, but yes. If you’re interested in the “biomechanics”: It’s the difference between a miniscule stopping of the continuous exhalation from your mouth for the s before starting a new burst exhalation for the k vs doing both as part of the same single exhalation that directly changes from continuous to burst.
If you provide storage to upload four audio .wav files (each about 400 KiB), I can send you samples generated by me speaking, then cloned with w-okada using a generic voice I believe is freely usable. It’s far from perfect, but it’s good enough for me to clearly tell which is which just by listening.
“Das Kind” is /daskınt/ not /dasʔkınt/.
It absolutely is /dasʔkınt/ in the standard German I’ve grown up with. I’ve never heard anyone any native speaker pronounce it as /daskınt/.
In German, just the same: there is not generally a pause between words written separately: there’s no gap that you can find on a spectrogram of a recording of someone saying, say, “brauner Sack” between the two words.
At the cost of appealing to authority: As a native German speaker, I can absolutely hear the glottal stop a stop between two separate words. It exists. It can also often be found between consecutive vowels within a word, but not necessarily between consecutive consonants like in your example. There’s a reason why it’s in the IPA. It’s also e.g. the basis for the “gender not-really-neutral” dialect of German, which injects an additional glottal stop into a word (like Bürger:innen, which is pronounced like Bürger innen, not like Bürgerinnen).
Mostly true, but in standard German one would normally vocalize “Schlafsack” without any audible pause between the f and the s.
If you were to pronounce “Schlaf sack”, there would generally be an expectation of a glottal stop an audible stop between the f and the s (dialects excluded).
So while, yes, compound words in German are written without spaces, that’s not just a writing difference.

In the USA (which was the focus of OP) I would argue there is virtually no left in the first place. Outliers excluded even their left-most people are still centrists, at best. Note that nowhere I said people should stop voting, it’s kind of crazy how that’s always a knee-jerk assumption. Obviously you still ought to choose the lesser evil - but that must come with doing the other parts. Otherwise, again, you’re just choosing evil.
That being said: If you live in the USA and you want that to happen, you need to step up. Not say “nobody else is doing it”. You need to do it. If you already are: Congrats! Next you need to accept that you can do everything right and still lose. That’s just life.
My point is the nay-sayers here say “don’t vote”, but offer no alternatives.
I’m a nay-sayer (to doing no more than perpetually voting for the lesser of two evils), and I’ve offered alternatives. I’m also not alone in this, I’ve seen about as many people, proportionally speaking, advocate for the same things in past posts about this here on Lemmy as there are on Reddit. Might this be a bubble issue on your end?
You say join a union? I say hell yeah, sign me up! Can I join yours?
Feel free to come to Germany and join one of our unions. The one primarily responsible for negotiating the collective agreement currently determining my salary is ver.di.
False dichotomy. There are many things to do between “do nothing but vote for evil” and “revolution”.
I don’t want to write the whole thing again, so I’ll just leave this here.
To add: I’ve never tasted an alcoholic drink that didn’t improve by removing the alcohol.
Shhhh! We keep up that reputation deliberately so not even more people come here and worsen the housing crisis ;)
To anwer what I consider your deeper question, there are generally only two paths to financial security:
Working more hours, which “passive income” strategies almost always equate to, just robs you of what little free time you have on this planet. Almost nobody thinks on their deathbed “I wish I had spent more hours of my life working”.
school pretty much failed to teach me the right way of life.
The education system’s job is giving you the opportunity to maximize your human capital. It may have failed you there, but that doesn’t mean you need to abandon that pursuit.
Is it possible to make some form of passive income from sidehustles?
In the binary way you worded this: No. You must always leverage something to generate income. Different methods require different levels of activity, though.
Now do the same for generic/vacuous travelling pictures in a majority of womens’ dating profiles ;)
My parents grew up in the ruins of post WWII Germany, so that has certainly impacted their raising of me.
But even setting that aside, deliberately wasting food is a disrespect to all the life that needed to end for you to have it. Be it flora, fauna, or fungi.
With gnupg, git, and a hardware security token. Also known as “pass”.
Wasting it, if it can at all be avoided.
What’s there to lay out, other than what anyone can read from the Wikipedia entries?
The Internet is a specific global network of computer nodes that use some version of the Internet Protocol to communicate with each other. There are many different services over on it. The WWW is simply one such service.
I’ve corrected my previous comments w.r.t. the terminology, thank you.
That being said, assuming those two spectrograms are using a comparable frequency scale, they show quite a bit of a difference: The upper spectrogram shows a near complete “black” stop across all but the lowest frequencies, while the lower spectrogram does not: The 2nd-lowest frequencies continue virtually unchanged, the mid frequencies are only reduced to a dark purple, not completely dark, and only the upper frequencies are truly dark. Those are not the same sound.
