  1. Since when was "made in the USA" ever about quality?
    151
  2. Dear Ian, one thing I have learned is that ... AMERICANS DONT LIKE TO LEARN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES ... which is part of the "we are the greatest nation in the world" ARROGANCE!
    131
  3. Most of these people BELIEVE in "our Lord Jesus Christ" ... and daily post citations from a book that was written 1600 years ago and translated several times.
    87
  4. It's not straw ... it's cardboard ... still weak enough for a wolf to blow it over after a bit of huffing and puffing. Americans dont take children's stories AND PAST HURRICANE EXPERIENCES seriously and thus NEVER LEARN and build better houses.
    82
  5. That's a sign of DIABETES ... "needing to drink LOADS" ...
    69
  6. Dear Ian, there are americans that believe "Jesus spoke english" ... [candidates for the "should not be allowed to vote" list if you ask me].

  7. Apart from a very short "business venture" by a king of Brandenburg (all he did was provide some money to some dutch merchants making the proposal) ... Germany didnt have slavery, so never needed to ban it. Oh and the USA hasnt banned slavery yet ... it transformed it from "ownership slavery" to "wage slavery" (because it is fully acceptable to exploit a fellow citizen by paying them a crappy wage / forcing them to do overtime for no pay and so on.

  8. High fructose corn sirup ...
    56
  9. €20 is worth more than $100 ...
    53
  10. 10:00 That "in Berlin" is in front of the Brandenburg Gate / US Embassy ... thus you will find a large number of "freakish stuff".

  11. Schnitzel is great because of the crust ... but far too many restaurants pour the sauce you get directly onto the Schnitzel, which kinda makes it soggy and thus defeats the point of the crisp crust. Separating Schnitzel from sauce is a good idea, but I've got no idea why you would want to hang it.

  12. ... but they have 40% of the global population of lawyers.
    42
  13. You HAVE TO be awake BEFORE taking such a drive.

  14. #3 ISNT a tight spot ... but it is "made tight" by the fact that someone doesnt want to scratch their Ferrari. The numberplate is "Göttingen", which is an old university town in middle-northern Germany. Quite nice and they have a great café with awesome cakes there in the pedestrian zone.
    28
  15. Vollmilch is the usual "basic version descriptor" for most brands.
    25
  16. #3 - We dont TYPICALLY have HOAs in Germany ... except when a bunch of multi-storey houses were built at the same time and then sold as flats ... there MIGHT BE a "council of owners" (EVERYONE has a vote) which decides about changes in management that affect everyone. It's not an HOA, because there is no boss". - The same applies to "Kleingartenanlagen", which are often enough a "Verein" with a chairman and so on. - HISTORIC CITIES are the only ones "meddling" in your decisions of what you can build/change, because they are preserving the character of the city AND they have requirements/restrictions for fire safety for example (because if your house burns down due to being badly protected, the other half-timbered houses next door are in danger.

  17. As a german I'd say ... DONT INSULT CAKES by comparing them to american pizza!
    22
  18. 8:30 Reminder: in 1936 Jesse Owens - a black american - won a record number of olympic gold medals ... and that "mean dude" Adolf Hitler ... shook his hand. That "good dude" Roosevelt ... didnt.

  19. Is there any chance of you ... a) drinking from a glass? b) eating with knife and fork? Americans have this trend to turn everything into finger food / not bothering with table manners / culture anymore.

  20.  @timmy7201  Seats on trains are much bigger than on a plane ... so even if there is a sweaty person around ... it is much farther away AND you might even be able to open the window (on a slower train).
    16
  21. I was tempted to "pretend to be from California" [not allowed to ask for an ID] and vote in the US election in the US embassy here in Berlin.

  22. Not until he has been here ... in every part of the continent ... from skiing in the alps ... to driving a car on a test track in Sweden in winter ... to the sandy forest tracks of Poland/Brandenburg ... to the "perfect driving roads" in Switzerland ... and so on.

  23. #1 is the time for JUST THE SURFACE LAYER ... before you can do this you have to prepare the underbed with gravel, possibly put in stones on the side to curb the flow of water, add drainage points, ... you know ... DOING IT PROPERLY. The biggest amount of time is probably spent on removing the old road surface, so constructions do take more than "just a few days".

  24.  @optimusmaximus9646  An important difference is that the USA has never suffered the destruction and humiliation from a war on its soil and the whole "greatest country in the world" PROPAGANDA basically eliminates any self-criticism ... which also prevents any positive change from being implemented.
    12
  25. 15:10 "If english was good enough for Jesus it is good enough for me." - something I remember from a video like this a while back.
    12
  26. If you ever get the chance ... the road from Clausthal-Zellerfeld to Goslar is quite "exciting", because you are driving on the side of "the abyss" ... and it goes down at a quite steep angle, so "accelerating" is a thing that gravity does for you and you need to be sure not to cook your brakes. There are also added "lottery win" [in a bad way] dangers of having some wild animal barge into you ...

  27. a) noise regulations b) general speed limits >>> going on "country roads"
    10
  28. The clip from Germany "isnt that impressive", because ... a) it is the Autobahn and b) it is the LAW to MAKE A RESCUE LANE whenever there is a traffic jam ... before any emergency vehicles even arrive. You cant compare this with "general city jams" ... but having a bus lane that is reserved for such kind of traffic (and buses) might be a start.

  29. Do you mean the roundabout in Swindon ... with the 7 roundabout circles ... which I would be confused by as a german who likes roundabouts?
    8
  30.  @clintonburr852  No ... because the big selling point of metric is that you can SHIFT THE COMMA EASILY! 1 cubic meter = 1000 litres ... that is SIMPLE!

  31. How about "cooked up by a german" on all the proudly displayed rockets that went to space?

  32. *gulf

  33. Please react to the "Fire Departments kill people" video from Not Just Bikes.

  34. In the EU we didnt get to vote about "joining the EU" ... in general ... and those few countries, which allowed their population to decide, had to vote repeatedly until the result matched the desires of the politicians.

  35. There isnt really a "tap water culture" in Germany ... because we have MINERAL WATER (which is filled straight from the well). This obviously costs money.

  36. You might want to try playing "Snow Runner" ... which is a "simulation" where you play a trucker/transporter (there are LOADS of different trucks of different size, but you can have really long heavy load trailers.
    7
  37. On the "road marking on foot" ... americans are not used to walking a few kilometers ...
    7
  38. The divider / "cage" in the back is possibly for A DOG.
    7
  39. There is an american trucker (IIRC the channel name is "Bruce Wilson") who makes "massive" propaganda for SCANIA trucks ... importing one for himself and then showing it to other truckers ... and they are amazed at how much comfort / technology that thing has. Maybe Ian can drive around and make the same kind of "propaganda" ... I mean taste tests are easy to do.

  40. Addendum to "first TV": The first "live TV broadcast" was done in 1936 for the olympic games in Berlin, where they had big cars with a film camera on top ... and the film was spooled down into the truck, where it was developed in a continuous process to have the pictures scanned just a short while after it actually happened. It was time-delayed "live", but the "live" images from the moon landing were on an 8(?) minute delay as well. A bunch of events have their films from 1936 on YT ... and the 1500m men's final has even some in the audience shouting "USA USA USA" ...

  41. I have a VW Passat from '87 ... and will keep it until it absolutely falls apart. It is PEAK PRACTICALITY ... while being bigger AND LIGHTER than our VW Golf from 2007.

  42.  @thomasfranz6467  People with a brain knew that right from the start ... by looking at the example Britain gave. Their train service is terrbile now.

  43. 10 cars honking might block the sound of the emergency vehicle though ... "confusing" the blocker. Sadly people are wearing big headphones or earpods and listen to music "everywhere" these days ... and thus arent listening to their surroundings anymore.

  44. "One of the coolest cars of all time" ... until the next Ferrari.

  45. If he had the time ... he could hand out tickets for that behaviour ...

  46. Have americans invented anything ... without the help of other countries?
    6
  47. In Germany ... even if you are in the "amateur" third league ... you get paid by sponsors, so the incentive to "get gud" starts a few leagues before the "TV leagues".
    6
  48.  @Titan.TheWolf  Finland has "everyday normal people" driving in rallye races ... with a special provision: you have to sell your car for a very low fixed amount ... if someone asks you to, so nobody is adding lots of extras to it and it is all "equal cars" with the skill of the driver becoming the important factor.
    6
  49. It's enough for a car too ... because you creep over them anyways due to the "hill". It's not like there is a lot of traffic.

  50. Actually ... "cars" [taxis] were the reason why the german army couldnt break through the french defenses in 1914 ... because the taxis of Paris brought loads of soldiers to the front line. The first tanks were a danger to their crew, because nobody really thought about the effects of sharp edges, exhaust gas from the engine and noise inside of a tank.
