@CryptidBnnuy @alc_anthro @Dawalarus Though people did get old, the statistics are pulled down drastically by the high infant mortality rate in many cases.

@Startheskeleto1 Except they're trying to eliminate a disease-carrying invasive species of mosquitoes, not all of them. Criticism where it's due, but this is not one of those things.

@shinylink777 Weil der zucker in süßen Getränken das Gefühl von Kohlensäure beim Trinken beeinflusst. Für mich ist Sprudelwasser einfach unangenehm zu trinken, es fühlt sich richtig stechend an im Hals. Mit Cola oder ähnlichen Getränken habe ich dieses Gefühl nicht.

@gdholtby @coryfromphilly Germans specifically believe that a draught of air makes you sick. Which I've always found amusing, given how obsessed with opening windows we are.

@pepsimaxl0ver @McDonaldsRamon @urlilisa And even when it did get as hot, the heat usually didn't last several weeks in a row, but a few hot days here and there, interrupted by cooler days and rain. But that's been slowly changing.

@bialygarnuch @McDonaldsRamon @urlilisa Germans don't like permanently installing things that they rarely use, it's the same reason why ceiling fans aren't common here. That, and the fact that many Germans are renters, so they often aren't even allowed to install one themselves.

@lemonfoxi @urlilisa People from the areas that don't have AC talk about it, that's why. The mediterranean regions have had AC for ages, they're not the ones complaining about not having AC.

@egalbraith_ @Yxng_Stevie @JBickertonUK Good luck retrofitting that into a brick house that doesn't have hollow walls and ceilings. That's the reason why most homes in Germany don't have central AC, either

@TylerSeabury @ChristinaTasty Not every country has American-style sliding windows. You can't fit a window unit to a tilt-and-turn window, which is what you'll find in most of central Europe.

[leDespicable @leDespicable]

@CSlo87 @Vidan2817 @ChristinaTasty Not when you live in a country where tilt-and-turn windows are the norm, there's no window units for those. Only thing you can do with those is put in a fabric seal with velcro and stick the AC's exhaust pipe through there. Which isn't great.

@BenTh3B3ar @616IMPULSE @lesbian_syrax Wait till you learn about when summer break starts in some parts of Germany. The summer holidays in Bavaria start in early August and end mid-September. Which was historically done so that kids would be home during the late summer and early autumn to help on the fields.

@SysC0mp @fryingpn I mean, when someone born and raised in Germany has never heard anyone say or use a word, not even Germans from other regions with different dialects, it's safe to assume that it's not a common German word. I have literally never heard or seen anyone use "Drachenfutter"

@mottenbengel @MrMoregame Babylon 5 hat meiner Meinung nach schon ein gutes Ende. Man merkt nur, dass man Staffel 4 schon final enden lassen musste, weil man nicht wusste, ob es mit Staffel 5 noch etwas wird. Und ursprünglich hätte es danach ja noch weitergehen sollen, aber das Spinoff wurde ja abgesetzt

@OKMS8989 @DapperSteve Why is it laziness? If you live somewhere where a car isn't needed, not owning one isn't lazy, it's a smart financial decision. I have a drivers license, but I currently don't own a car because I don't need one where I live. So I'm not paying any vehicle tax, upkeep or gas.

[leDespicable @leDespicable]

@ToujoursADroite @reaverxai @isa2001m Unpopular opinion, but I found it to be so much more pleasant and relaxed to drive 100 km/h on the dutch highways. In Germany, you have to constantly pay attention if someone slow pulls out in front of you while driving in the fast lane. Much more stressful.

@smo841603557184 @korbazinho @Cernovich Nope. Germany's still building new Autobahn routes. Culturally, Germany is one of the most car-centric places in Europe. We have several big car manufacturers after all, so the car lobby is strong lol

@AndreaAnCas @AndreasN80 @suesskatzi Scheint dann aber eher ein Problem bei euch in der Region zu sein. Bei uns hat kein einziger McDonald's in den letzten zehn Jahren geschlossen, und die Terminals haben sich überhaupt nicht auf das Geschäft ausgewirkt.

[leDespicable @leDespicable]

@CNeufert @suesskatzi an die Kasse, scanne nur noch den Code vom Handscanner, bezahle, und bin draußen. Das ist mir allemal lieber, als hinter vier anderen Leuten mit Großeinkauf warten zu müssen.

[leDespicable @leDespicable]

@CNeufert @suesskatzi Es ist mir ehrlich gesagt egal, ob ich die Arbeit des Kassierers übernehme, wenn es heißt, dass ich mit meinem vollen Einkaufswagen in ner Minute draußen bin. Bei unserem Rewe gibt es Handscanner, da komme ich dann mit meinem bereits komplett eingescannten Einkauf
