well older then US isn´t hard, when was it founded? Like late 18th century? lol Germany has 20k castles, reaching back to 9th century, just saying. The oldest building in my town is dated to 1040 cause nobody knows exactly lol - and 99% was destroyed by the Allies in ww2 (when the war was literally already over btw)
Yea uhm, here's the thing the pranged colour you'll get will look watered down and sometimes you get a bright orange but it doesn't look like that fanta (some Europeans like to make their own orange juice) so both fantastic are dyed

The metal guard placed around trees in cities is used to protect young trees from damage. It prevents people from accidentally kicking or breaking the trunk, protects the tree from bicycles, cars, and vandalism, and helps shield it from maintenance equipment like snowplows. It also discourages people from stepping on the soil around the tree, which protects the roots and allows them to receive enough air and water. In many cases, these guards are temporary and are removed once the tree becomes strong enough to support and protect itself.
Within country you have differences. I'm from Southern Poland there are differences between us and those barbarians from North or people from capital with no culture
Not just that, but protection for the trees in general. When the trees being planted they are pretty thin and these cages help the trees from tipping over or snapping.
Rodents? How big are these rodents? And i don't think it's so much idiots on bikes as just to prevent people locking their bike to the tree, using the case instead (you can even see a bike on the floor in the video)
@TheCountess666 Although if you can, there is no reason to do so, there are bicycle parking spaces everywhere, and in better places, but I have seen drivers and cyclists crash into those.
Fanta is a drink originally made from apple leftovers, developed by the Nazis during World War II because Germany's Coca-Cola could not get the ingredients to make Coca-Cola from America.
Yes, the big buttons are almost as big as a whole hand. But: you should prefer to use the big button. The smaller water usage is not good for two major reasons: 1. The city will have to flush the sewer system regularly to flush all the dirt (which is not just poop) out of the system. This uses even more water then using the big flush all the time. 2. Is a byproduct of the first problem. As the amount of water is not capable of flushing everything away, the acidic residue is breaking the concrete in the bigger sewer system, causing blockages and/or collapsed sewers. Which have to be reconstructed - so block the entire road. Of course, things get broken, pipes get blocked. That's life. But with the falsely interpretation of "saving" water, this invention probably costs us more then it really saves water. Of topic: you should save water. But - as it's called in Germany - you should save "digital" water (no joke, it's called this way over here) - so you should consider buying things, that don't used too much water in production - like disposable plastic cups for a coffee to go (which where more then 10 litres of water, if I remember correctly.)
@mortonuk94 Also eigentlich ist das wie im Video schon richtig, wenn man nur Urinieren muss, ist es sinnvoll den kleinen Knopf zu benutzen. Der Große ist dazu gedacht wenn man Stuhlgang hat, da muss ja auch mehr weggespült werden. Also ich sehe kein Sinn darin den großen zu drücken wenn ich nur Uriniert habe
yeah but also it's probably smaller than American showers because the EU has bans on most american foods because they are packed with chemicals and unhealthy stuff so we are just healthier and we have more fresh foods
And because here in Europe we don't have bathrooms in which we can play baseball in. My bathroom is 2.5x2m. And it fits washing machine, toilet, shower similar to one in the video, mirror/sink combo and small closet for bathroom stuff.
Those showers have been super trending in Germany for years. They're so common in single family houses and in hotel bathrooms, that having a shower with a tub in one seems old-fashioned to me now. XD Yes, there's a silicon lip at the bottom, yes, the tiles in the shower are slanted ever so slightly, no, water does not spill out, no, I don't understand how someone can see that and be so confused. That person is unironically looking like a cave(wo)man discovering technology to me!
The reason our fridges are so small isn't because we eat out all the time. Quite the opposite. We cook all the time with FRESH ingredients that aren't full of chemicals so won't last for 3 or 4 weeks, so the fridge needs to be restocked every few days or maybe a week. There's no point storing a months worth of food in there.
Indeed. And WE dont Shop only once a week. In Germany you Go ti the grocery Store 2 or 3 Times a week. But you buy less but fresh. So WE dont need Hügel fridges.
we also dont need to drive for as long to get to the stores so shopping more often isnt as annoying here. Imagine having to drive for half an hour to the nearest store, i would also start doing bigger shopping sprees.
Seasons don't work like that around the world. The closer towards the equator you get, the shorter the sunset/sunrises will be and the more the time will be the same around the year. I was in Oman for a business trip during Summer, and the sun would set at 19:00 sharp every evening. And not the slow transition I am used to either. It got a bit dusky at 19:00 and went completely dark at 19:10. If she is from a really Southern area in the US, sunsets might just be as dynamic across the seasons as it is for people living in more Northern parts. Remember that Florida is basically as far South as Iraq.
@paulobotas3597 Yeah, I thought it would be in the more Northern parts of Norway. There's a fair bit of tourism up there to see the fjords and the Northern lights, so it's not completely out of the question
@paulobotas3597 I will give you example from Poland. Summer: Sun from 4am till 10pm (eg longest dayin the year), Winter: sun form 8AM till 3PM(shortes day in the year). So middle of spring or ottom we hawe 12h day 12h night. Starting form shoteest day of the year, every next day will be little longer till to the longest day of the year, and aftert that every day will be little bit shorter till to the shortest day. Thaaat is mean seasons. Works almost the same in whole europe. Just sun time is changing but all of us have this longgest/shorest days.
In Italy, the water from fountains comes from the aqueduct and is drinkable. However, signs always indicate whether it is drinkable or not. The water from ornamental fountains, however, is never drinkable.
Yeah, i live in Luxembourg and we are the only country in europe to have full public transportation for free. Taxis you pay, but buses, trains, trams are free
Some municipalities in Sweden have free public transport (within the municipality) for senior citizens. And usually you can ride a bus/train to a hospital in another city for a discounted price if you show the appointment. OT, didn't know that about Luxembourg. Think others could follow, it's about what you spend taxpayers money on, that decides whether you can have it that way or not
Trees in cages? those are trees protected from car crashes, bike crashes, vandalism, It's basically a way to keep the trees safe in high traffic areas.
Nah, we actually cage the trees because they occasionally wander around. Last week one of our uncaged trees showed up on my doorstep last week, really annoying because the roots messed with my driveway
All the comments are right, but the most mundane reason is for saplings not to wander around at night, so we keep them in cages. When they are old enough and have massive roots, it is hard for the trees to run away, but we still keep the baby cages on them to make sure that they remember their place, at least here in Poland. We had too many problems with idiots trying to plant leshen saplings because they were unable to difference them from normal trees. And we wasted so many taxpayer monies for Witchers to deal with them...
There is no way those flimsy cages protect against even a slight car crash. But otherwise generally this is it, wear and tear over time from people just leaning their bikes against the tree, or locking them with a chain around it, will damage the bark.
I remember that for about ten years on TV electrolyte tests have been performed on water from the tap and water from natural sources (SPA, Sourcy, Gerolsteiner amongst others). It turned out natural waters contain MUCH more minerals and they differ a lot because of their origin.
I think that's for most countries, sure, most of the time we get water from the well but I believe in most countries in Europe tap water is safe to drink.
Same in Italy. By law tap water must be drinkable and is highly controlled. The are some expeditions for isolated houses, very rare. Even then water is always purified and everywhere you can find fountains
The printed code on the egg identifies the type; organic, free range etc; the farm that produced it and the best before date. We're big on food traceability in Europe.
No, it`s chicken morse code and a cry for help _OR_ (stay with me) it`s code for what the mother planned to name her child if one of them would magically deliver offspring after a lifetime of missing the mark
Procces improvement Engineer here. We are infact so big on traceability in Europe and have gotten so good at it that when all the procceses are executed as intended we can narrow any production error or danger down to around 10 minutes in when it was produced and then trace back every single ingredient/material to when it was harvested and have that data available in less then on average 16 hours.
9:00 the water coming out of fountains is usually labelled if you can drink them or not, in europe. I mean, in France, that's the case, I dunno abt other countries (tell if it's like that in other countries too)
@JSmellerM Don't forget US people are shitting their pants when it comes to nature. They hate nature, they are battling with it. They'd rather find a technology to maintain their way of leaving against the nature rather than learning to live with it.
9:30 In Italy, if you see a fountain, water flowing from a wall, or from anywhere else, it’s drinkable. If it’s not, there will be a big sign saying “non potabile” (not drinkable). Italy has 700 sources of drinking water, and in the city of Rome alone (where you can drink water everywhere), there are 23 of them! most of the fountain still receive water from Roman aqueducts built 2,000 years ago.
Oh, good to know! As far as I know, you shouldn't drink water from a fountain in Germany if there isn't a sign! And if there is, you have to understand it bc it could say "Trinkwasser" (safe to drink) or "kein Trinkwasser" (not safe to drink)
Some things are very similar, but not exactly the same. North France is similar to South Belgium for example, North-East France to South-West Germany, etc. It's because the buildings are often old and kept their look during the invasions decades/centuries ago. The cities that were destroyed in WW1 and WW2 were rebuilt with the same architecture than before to preserve the cultural places.
Some Americans think we do not have electricity, telephone, internet, because there are no wires hanging above our streets... Public transportation is free in Luxembourg, but nowhere else.
"Public transportation is free in Luxembourg, but nowhere else." You're generally right, but I know of an example were such is arguably incorrect. There are 6 Bacs (ferries) that cross the Seine west of Rouen, which are free for pedestrians and cyclist. They are not considered 'public transport' by the Normandie Tourisme, but as a tourist cyclist crossing at one, I certainly considered it 'free public transport'.
@sunnyjim1355 All ferries (pedestrians and cyclists) across the IJ in Amsterdam are free of charge as well. Like many other. But free bus, tram, train and metro over an entire city or country, only the Grand Duchy.
In Madrid the subway is so cheap it's almost free... if you work, your company will probably give you 20-50 euros per month so you can pay for it monthly (50 is for people who live more than 1 hour away), some people just reject the benefit and walk/bike to the office if they live close by. If you bike to the office you might also get 30 euros in places where parking is scarce (because you're not using the parking lot).
Why can't "European" Fanta be like "Normal American Fanta"? Eh, Fanta IS European 🤦♂️. Squeeze an Orange and look at what coloUr the juice is. Now decide if American Fanta is normal 🤷♂️
@Nordlys-Incognito However, real sugar is even healthier than corn syrup. For the same amount of sweetening, more syrup is needed than would be the case with sugar. Fructose also has the property of being stored particularly quickly in fat cells. The only advantage of syrup is that it is cheaper than sugar.
@sylviarohge4204 I know. In EU countrys we HFCS isn't really a thing. But no Coca Cola is not working on changing US Cola because of Trump. Trump is delusional as always and so is his cultists
Fanta.... 1. Fanta IS EUROPEAN! 2. Our Fanta contains natural food coloring, while Americans contains artificial food coloring that are forbidden in UE.
@papaVT it has been completely free nationwide (bus, tram and train service) since 2020, except for international high speed trains like the TGV or ICE. So not exactly recent.
@papaVT He was actually there in 2020 when it was free. He would show up every morning at the same platform where he would hand the "conductor" 4 Euros. I would watch the "conductor" go buy a cup of coffee while the American boarded the train.
In Italy we use the 24 hours system, but in the spoken language, when asked what time is it, it's pretty common to say "it's eight in the evening" meaning "it's 20:00"
The fact that "still water" is called "still" makes it even funier to watch how some Americans don't know which one is which. I mean the bottles even have different colors...
The "tree cages" are called tree guards or tree shelters. They're basically there to protect the tree and make sure it gets to grow up mostly undisturbed.
@justineczarnobyl9987 And to protect pedestrians from car crashes, or these days sometimes terrorist attacks. But yeah, usually they are just to protect a young tree, but those are cast iron that last for ages
And in fall they are used by city workers to store the fallen leaves until the tree is done shedding... when all tge leaves have shed they come with a big vacuum to suck the leaves out off the cage
Here in Belgium we have to pay for public transport, Outlets are even different in different parts of Europe, and in winter the sun does set at like 16:00 (4pm) only in summer you have days where the sun is still out till 22:00 (10pm).
Yes. A second door is a fairly common setup in Europe. Though usually only when they have a single toilet, not multiple stales like here. At the mens there might be a urinal in the first room.
Easy to spot. From door to door, there are a whole lot of space, but the stall with the sink part are very small, aka there are a "hidden" room beyond with the actual toilet.
To be fair the door handle is kinda hidden inside the second door. So if you’re not expecting that or used to it then it’s easy to miss. Especially with the infinity mirror. In my opinion the fancy design got in the way of discoverability here - see Vox video on Norman Doors.
The shower doors have a plastic lip on the bottom. Loose enough to not stop the doors from moving, but tight enough to keep water in. There’s a magnetic strip that keeps the doors together when closed as well. Plus it seems to be a hotel room shower hence the smaller size.
Dutch guy here. The 'narrow houses' aren't houses. They are just hallways with staircases for the buildings they are part of. The reason you see multiple doors next to each other is that one door is for the ground floor apartment, while the staircases with separate doors lead to the other floors.
@wolololer not every houses in amsterdam are like in the city centre. most of our houses are eithers flats or houses which were built between now and 30 years ago
Yeah, that’s a bad design. I totally understand her not seeing this whilst being in a hurry to pee. I just hope she didn’t wash her hands in the pissoir down the hallway
8:49 Italian here, in Rome it's completely normal to drink water from random fountains found in the street, they were designed and made to be able to drink and let domesticated/wild animals find a safe drinkable source. PS : Lots of people drink sparkling water but: usually bottle designs and their caps are different to be recognisable by people without being forced to read if it's still, carbonated or sparkling.
And the small hole on top of the faucet : just shut the way out with one's thumb, and the fresh water jumps into your mouth; utterly simple and brilliant.
12:12 Nah that has to be satire, there's no way in hell she said "In Europe everyone is homeschooled on the fjords." and actually meant it. I refuse to believe that.
Public transportation is only free in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 and yes it's completely free. But then again, I guess most americans don't know where Luxembourg is or that it even exists.
in most offices converted from ancient factories and warehouses cheap arse developer put thin piping and crap mulchers. in those it actually IS for toilet paper
fun fact: the old houses in the Netherlands are that thin because in the old days you paid taxes on the width of your house, so to pay less they build really skinny houses but therefor they were very tall
These tree guards around the perimeter of a tree pit that provide a physical barrier between a tree and our sometimes harsh urban environment. These tree guards reduce soil compaction, shield the trunk from physical damage and prevent pet waste from entering the tree pit. Hello from Ireland 🌲🌳🌴😁👍🇮🇪🇺🇸
In German pedestrian areas, they also often serve as an easy grid to fasten your bike to, and make things way easier! Your chain doesn‘t have to go around the trunk, but only around one of the steel ‚thingies‘, sorry… So, you can fasten 4 more bikes on that cage, instead of one around a tree! It also saves the tree bark from getting damaged by the bicycles
In England, as often as not, they simply tarmac right up to the trunk 🤔 mind that is on mature trees I guess As to the tree guards the verticals may be called pickets, pales or (more probably) struts and are held in place by horizontal rails
My question would be: why do US citizens need huge ass fridges the size of a closet if most of their food is ultra processed crap which doesn't need to be refrigerated anyway and it's loaded with preservatives for maximum shelf-life? 🤔
Their fridge is full of 80% drink, 15% milk and 5% eggs... when you see their restock, they often have one or two shelves reserved for drinks, it's mind-boggling, they consume more soda than fresh fruits and vegetables
Certains américains cuisinent plus que d'autres. La vraie raison qui fait que leurs frigidaires sont si énormes c'est que la plupart des américains habitent loin de tout en réalité. Tout est grand aux USA et il faut prendre la voiture pour tout : le supermarché, l'école, le travail, aller boire un verre, etc... Donc ils ne vont pas au supermarché toutes les semaines, ils font des provisions pour 2 semaines au moins avant de retourner faire les courses. En Europe, à moins d'habiter à la campagne, on est au supermarché en maximum 5 ou 10 min, avec ou sans voiture, donc on peut y aller plus régulièrement. Aux USA ça n'a rien de choquant d'habiter à 25 ou 30 min de voiture du supermarché.
in US they need to drive to get anywhere, so getting to the store usually means they'll get food in great quantities and thinking about having as much storage as possible in order to not do another drive to the store soon. that's also why the sizes of the products there are insanely big, gigantic snack bags and enormous ham or salami pieces, because they don't eat it at once, they keep it longer than in Europe. here the closest store is like 5 mins away, if I want something I'll just go to the store in the opposite sidewalk and get smth for less than 5€
@emiliecollas6577 Oh,that explains a lot. I only put the sodas sometimes in the frige turing hot summer days beause I don't like to trink it icey cold.
just to let you know, Fanta was invented in Germany around World War 2, because the ingredients for Coca Cola weren't available. So the Cola factory in Germany had to come up with something different.
hiii at 20:00, the toilets are hidden by a door, you can barely see the handle but it's right in front of the entry ! it is because it is a sort of museum so they made the toilets respecting the aesthetic of the place ! great video as always !!
@Bjösk haha no you are right. not a thing in Germany. but there are countries in europe where this is done because the sewage treatment plants arent able to handle it. mostly in rural areas. So i wasnt confused by it because I experienced it several times. just plain wrong to tell that this is true for all of europe.
Basically all "public" restrooms have a space with the basin and then there is the actual room with the toilet. It looked like the door to it was right in front of her tbh 😅
18:50 they protect the trees from when they're first planted. When their trunks get thick enough to do more damage to whatever hit them than will be done to them, the fencing will probably get removed 😊
@robertvtveld "Back then" it was cloudy whiteish and had nothing to do with modern fanta. It still had real juice though. But coke had actual coke in it, so...maaaybe we're not focusing on "back then" too much? O.o
The reason why a lot of fridges are smaller is because we go shopping more because the food doesn't keep as long because they don't put loads of preservatives and chemicals in them. We basically buy less but more often. Although you can actually buy bigger fridges.
It’s mostly house/flat size Got a free yank fridge years back - ice, double doors - the biz, but we had to keep it in the hall of our council house. Wasn’t blowing £8k to accommodate a free fridge 😂
@MildlyInterested_ That's not really a "countries being smaller" thing though, at least for the vast majority of the population (which lives in or very close to settlements of a few thousand people on upwards both in Europe and the US). It's more that the idea to go to a giant mall once or twice a month and completely fill up your car instead of taking a short drive or even walk to a local small store once or twice a week never really caught on in Europe as much as it did in the US. Which means that those local shops were perfectly sustainable and we still have them basically everywhere. Whereas in the US, the majority of them died to the malls and you now often don't even have the choice any longer.
I'm Italian our fountain is always running and clean, there are some acquedot that take the water from the river of the Mountain and give it clean for free
In Finland it depends. Very young children, sure. May even bring one parent for free if young enough. (There's a place for trams in the middle of the bus) Also, I suppose the fact that most people have monthly transport cards may make it seem like free transport. Well not really, but it's a fixed payment for 30 days that gives a huge discount compared to single-trip paid in cash if you go for like five days a week both directions as people going to work or school do.
Not free in Croatia either but it's fairly cheap.... Especially if you have the app cuz it somewhat more expensive to buy it on kiosk or on the bus/tram/train
Most countries in Europe have random drinking fountains that are older than the US.
Every town in atleast 30 kilometers around my hometown in germany have atleast one building older than the us
well older then US isn´t hard, when was it founded? Like late 18th century? lol
Germany has 20k castles, reaching back to 9th century, just saying.
The oldest building in my town is dated to 1040 cause nobody knows exactly lol - and 99% was destroyed by the Allies in ww2 (when the war was literally already over btw)
@julianm6360 At least one? The cities that have not been bombed in war are mostly older than the US.
@hansdampf8491 What most people mean when they say, older than the US, is older than the colonialisation of north america, which started 1607.
As Brit. Best to drink from the Water Bottle.
Drinking Water from public fountain that goes way for a Thousand years. Mmm
Step 1: Buy orange.
Step 2: squeeze juice out of it.
Step 3: Observe colour.
Hmm...And what about Red Orange? 😂😂😂
@janakotfaldova8658 that one is really bitter and it’s actually more red-orange than the bright orange American Fanta has
Yea uhm, here's the thing the pranged colour you'll get will look watered down and sometimes you get a bright orange but it doesn't look like that fanta (some Europeans like to make their own orange juice) so both fantastic are dyed
@janakotfaldova8658 Did you ever squeezed red oranges my boy?
@janakotfaldova8658 janicko, ciste logicky - kdyz nekdo rekne pomeranc, tak urcite ma na mysli ten, ktery je zastoupeny v nasi kuchyni nejvic, ze. ...jako bejt za hnidopicha a zaroven postradat logiku, je docela ostuda, nemyslis? myslim, ze by te maminka nepochvalila.
Why do all Americans think that America is what everyone is copying, but actually a lot of things come from Europe.
Even a lot of Americans originated in Europe!!!
even the white americans come frome europe after america was colonized.
Americans are europeans.
Why? Because they have no clue about other countries. They need to be educated better.
They're programmed in school with American exceptionalism. They're indoctrinated with thinking US is the best and makes everything
The tree cages are to protect the young trees. They are removed when the tree is older
People use to lean their bycicles on the trees
the cars could hit them...
Dogs won't piss directly on the tree.
It makes sure, the young trees won't get eaten or get damaged by roadbuild or some mild crashes.
Also it's helps the tree grow straight up
The metal guard placed around trees in cities is used to protect young trees from damage. It prevents people from accidentally kicking or breaking the trunk, protects the tree from bicycles, cars, and vandalism, and helps shield it from maintenance equipment like snowplows. It also discourages people from stepping on the soil around the tree, which protects the roots and allows them to receive enough air and water. In many cases, these guards are temporary and are removed once the tree becomes strong enough to support and protect itself.
I did hear an american say, "they speak english really well in england"
Big brain on that one, eh!
OMG 🤣
😂🙈🤣🙈🤣🙈
because ingland adopted english from the US. before that they spoke norman french. aslo they have ther own english dialect
@Galaxy.Windows that's either a pretty good joke or you are literally proving the point made in the initial comment which one is it?
Ah yes. I remember back in 2015 when our Smartphones were powered by hamsterwheels and gears 😂.
wow wow wow smartphones? what is that? i only have phone with big ring to dial the number. :/
@petrgazo5184oh they are not called Smartphones? I'm sorry I mean these phones. They were like Super futuristic back in 2010 right?
@petrgazo5184 Same here :D
XD that American got me laughing for minutes,
I remember powering my Wii with my bycicle 😂 good times.
The first electric kettle was invented in 1891 in england. But remember, as the Lady said, we just got electricity in Europe like 10 years ago 😂
🤣😂🤣
She's so stupid I swear, and actually electricity was invented IN Europe by the Greeks
I mean it was a hard time to wait that long to finally use your great, great, great aunts invention. 2015, the final arrival of the lectric kettle.
I hope that video was a joke
and dont forget that the english people dont understand american cuz its british
Watching this feels like watching a friend says horribly incorrect stuff about a game and I can't even correct them.
6:33 every shower in europe is different even in 1 country
So true
even in every house or apartament in a same town and same country lol...
true though. Italy even more I think. Or I might be dumb too.
Even in same building you would have different showers
@realdragon true though XD
for clarification you need to state which country in Europe because everything is very different in each country
Absolutely yes! >20 countries and cultures.
Within country you have differences. I'm from Southern Poland there are differences between us and those barbarians from North or people from capital with no culture
@realdragonwe Germans see this about our within-country barbarian neighbours 😂. Bavarians 😱
@TheMeleasAmerican🥀🥀
@TheMeleasthere's at least 30 bro
“Who’s drinking this 🤮”? Have you ever peeled and squeezed a regular orange? The juice that comes out is NOT radioactively orange coloured.😂
i bet þey þink 3 bananas can ill em 😂
@yahyayazgi nice use of þe þorn
@yahyayazgi Do you like þorn?
@aliasDonaldDuck yes
They could be using mandarins (hypothetically), which would be more orange, but not fluorescent orange 🤣
The toilet thing. She does not know but there is a door right beside the sink😂😂
tbf I'd probably have to look for a bit too :p
I'm more concerned that she thinks the urinals are also sinks lol
The cages are there to protect the trees from idiots on bikes, terrible car drivers and rodents, that's it.
When I saw the cages, the first thing I thought of was the cyclists.
Not just that, but protection for the trees in general.
When the trees being planted they are pretty thin and these cages help the trees from tipping over or snapping.
Rodents? How big are these rodents?
And i don't think it's so much idiots on bikes as just to prevent people locking their bike to the tree, using the case instead (you can even see a bike on the floor in the video)
@TheCountess666 Although if you can, there is no reason to do so, there are bicycle parking spaces everywhere, and in better places, but I have seen drivers and cyclists crash into those.
Leginkább a kutyák miatt, ne pisiljék le!😀
People who complain about Fanta being too yellow have both never seen and drank actual orange juice.
Fanta is a drink originally made from apple leftovers, developed by the Nazis during World War II because Germany's Coca-Cola could not get the ingredients to make Coca-Cola from America.
@ADSC-k9v Ooooh I see, that explains perfectly why american loves to drink nuclear orange Fanta. Wait, no it doesn't.
Wasn't there a discussion about egg yolks too?😂
@ADSC-k9v interessting history fact there.
But what has that to do with the yellow or radioactive organge color of Fanta?
Drink, drank, drunk.
3:30 I have no words... (The only reason why there are more sparkling water than normal water is because we actually have drinkable tap water.)
also if you shake a bottle of water it will make bubbles whether is sparkling or not
I'll never understand people who don't drink sparkling water... i can only drink still water if i'm doing sports
Cause still water is the normal one
@Streifenpixel Well, in Sweden, tapped water is excellent and totally free. Way better.
@Fibonacci64 Our Tap Water in Germany is also pretty good but we have Sodastream to make it sparkling. We also drink normal tap as well tho.
THE TREE CAGE: IS SO WE DONT DESTROY THE TREE WHEN PLACING BIKES AGINST THEM
Just so we're clear, still water in Germany is called "still" 😁
*stilles wasser
@nikomax6840aber auf der flasche steht meistens "still"
And that’s such a culture shock you know!
The toilet "Buttons" are far bigger than light switches. And they are not disconnected from the toilet. They are directly above it.
Exactly, it's a toilet that's built in the wall.
Came here to see if someone else already commented that xD
Yes, the big buttons are almost as big as a whole hand.
But: you should prefer to use the big button. The smaller water usage is not good for two major reasons:
1. The city will have to flush the sewer system regularly to flush all the dirt (which is not just poop) out of the system. This uses even more water then using the big flush all the time.
2. Is a byproduct of the first problem. As the amount of water is not capable of flushing everything away, the acidic residue is breaking the concrete in the bigger sewer system, causing blockages and/or collapsed sewers. Which have to be reconstructed - so block the entire road.
Of course, things get broken, pipes get blocked. That's life. But with the falsely interpretation of "saving" water, this invention probably costs us more then it really saves water.
Of topic: you should save water. But - as it's called in Germany - you should save "digital" water (no joke, it's called this way over here) - so you should consider buying things, that don't used too much water in production - like disposable plastic cups for a coffee to go (which where more then 10 litres of water, if I remember correctly.)
@mortonuk94 Also eigentlich ist das wie im Video schon richtig, wenn man nur Urinieren muss, ist es sinnvoll den kleinen Knopf zu benutzen. Der Große ist dazu gedacht wenn man Stuhlgang hat, da muss ja auch mehr weggespült werden. Also ich sehe kein Sinn darin den großen zu drücken wenn ich nur Uriniert habe
The tank is inside the wall, exactly why its above it on the wall.
To be fair, that shower is less a "european shower" and more just a shower in europe, there is a wide variety of showers
yeah but also it's probably smaller than American showers because the EU has bans on most american foods because they are packed with chemicals and unhealthy stuff so we are just healthier and we have more fresh foods
also I think that is a wheelchair-accessible shower, or at least partly
And because here in Europe we don't have bathrooms in which we can play baseball in. My bathroom is 2.5x2m. And it fits washing machine, toilet, shower similar to one in the video, mirror/sink combo and small closet for bathroom stuff.
Those showers have been super trending in Germany for years. They're so common in single family houses and in hotel bathrooms, that having a shower with a tub in one seems old-fashioned to me now. XD
Yes, there's a silicon lip at the bottom, yes, the tiles in the shower are slanted ever so slightly, no, water does not spill out, no, I don't understand how someone can see that and be so confused. That person is unironically looking like a cave(wo)man discovering technology to me!
or bathtubs
Most of the places in Europe has sunrise at 5am and sunset at 10pm in summers. But in winter it's very shorter days.
The reason our fridges are so small isn't because we eat out all the time. Quite the opposite. We cook all the time with FRESH ingredients that aren't full of chemicals so won't last for 3 or 4 weeks, so the fridge needs to be restocked every few days or maybe a week. There's no point storing a months worth of food in there.
Indeed. And WE dont Shop only once a week. In Germany you Go ti the grocery Store 2 or 3 Times a week. But you buy less but fresh. So WE dont need Hügel fridges.
Kinda - freezer life went mental mid 1970s.
we also dont need to drive for as long to get to the stores so shopping more often isnt as annoying here. Imagine having to drive for half an hour to the nearest store, i would also start doing bigger shopping sprees.
@MildlyInterested_ I think I have TWELVE supermarkets in about 5 minutes drive from where I live lol.
@MildlyInterested_we dont drive to go to grocery, my nearest grocery is down my apartament building
The door to the actual toilet was directly straight ahead behind the fancy wall ;)
Yeah I saw that too. Hope she eventually found it
EXACTLY!! She didn't notice the handle...
Black handles on the green wall are entrance to toilets
"The sun doesnt set until 10pm!" Yeah that uh...thats called seasons..???
Seasons don't work like that around the world. The closer towards the equator you get, the shorter the sunset/sunrises will be and the more the time will be the same around the year. I was in Oman for a business trip during Summer, and the sun would set at 19:00 sharp every evening. And not the slow transition I am used to either. It got a bit dusky at 19:00 and went completely dark at 19:10. If she is from a really Southern area in the US, sunsets might just be as dynamic across the seasons as it is for people living in more Northern parts. Remember that Florida is basically as far South as Iraq.
@mridcwhere I live im canada it gets dark around 10pm and im not on Northwest territories. That girl must be in Norway or something
@paulobotas3597 Yeah, I thought it would be in the more Northern parts of Norway. There's a fair bit of tourism up there to see the fjords and the Northern lights, so it's not completely out of the question
@paulobotas3597 I will give you example from Poland. Summer: Sun from 4am till 10pm (eg longest dayin the year), Winter: sun form 8AM till 3PM(shortes day in the year). So middle of spring or ottom we hawe 12h day 12h night. Starting form shoteest day of the year, every next day will be little longer till to the longest day of the year, and aftert that every day will be little bit shorter till to the shortest day. Thaaat is mean seasons. Works almost the same in whole europe. Just sun time is changing but all of us have this longgest/shorest days.
@Boria-Dzidekwe have about the same where I live just get darker around 430 the earliest
In Italy, the water from fountains comes from the aqueduct and is drinkable. However, signs always indicate whether it is drinkable or not.
The water from ornamental fountains, however, is never drinkable.
Fanta was invented in Germany.
Heil to that
Only the name, the flavor is from Italy.
@Klaus-em3ix Pretty sure fanta was invented in Nazi Germany, as a subsitute to Coca Cola.
@Klaus-em3ixwrong
No
12:50 i am german living in germany, public transportation isn´t free everywhere in europe.
i believe only Luxembourg has free public transportation in EU
Yeah, i live in Luxembourg and we are the only country in europe to have full public transportation for free. Taxis you pay, but buses, trains, trams are free
In Estonia, only in capital(Tallinn) have free public transportation is free
Some municipalities in Sweden have free public transport (within the municipality) for senior citizens.
And usually you can ride a bus/train to a hospital in another city for a discounted price if you show the appointment.
OT, didn't know that about Luxembourg. Think others could follow, it's about what you spend taxpayers money on, that decides whether you can have it that way or not
In Hasselt (Belgium) certain groups of citizens (i.e.children between 6 an 20) can use the busses for free
This amazing invention we call MAGNETS. They use Harry Potter magic to hold the shower doors closed.
As a Dutch person i can confirm public transport is NOT free here.
Same in France except perhaps in some specific city and it is extremly seldom but certainly not in Paris
Trees in cages? those are trees protected from car crashes, bike crashes, vandalism, It's basically a way to keep the trees safe in high traffic areas.
Nah, we actually cage the trees because they occasionally wander around. Last week one of our uncaged trees showed up on my doorstep last week, really annoying because the roots messed with my driveway
@Rakkoon004Ah, yes that too, hate it when that happence 😂
Also these cages protect dogs from trees peeing on them
All the comments are right, but the most mundane reason is for saplings not to wander around at night, so we keep them in cages. When they are old enough and have massive roots, it is hard for the trees to run away, but we still keep the baby cages on them to make sure that they remember their place, at least here in Poland. We had too many problems with idiots trying to plant leshen saplings because they were unable to difference them from normal trees. And we wasted so many taxpayer monies for Witchers to deal with them...
There is no way those flimsy cages protect against even a slight car crash. But otherwise generally this is it, wear and tear over time from people just leaning their bikes against the tree, or locking them with a chain around it, will damage the bark.
In Germany, the requirements for tap water are significantly higher than for bottled water from supermarkets.
I remember that for about ten years on TV electrolyte tests have been performed on water from the tap and water from natural sources (SPA, Sourcy, Gerolsteiner amongst others).
It turned out natural waters contain MUCH more minerals and they differ a lot because of their origin.
what i found really fun is usaian people can't dring tap water but can't drink without a ton of ice cubes...made with tap water.
But still many Germans buy bottled water... 🤦
I think that's for most countries, sure, most of the time we get water from the well but I believe in most countries in Europe tap water is safe to drink.
Same in Italy. By law tap water must be drinkable and is highly controlled. The are some expeditions for isolated houses, very rare. Even then water is always purified and everywhere you can find fountains
The printed code on the egg identifies the type; organic, free range etc; the farm that produced it and the best before date. We're big on food traceability in Europe.
No, it`s chicken morse code and a cry for help _OR_ (stay with me) it`s code for what the mother planned to name her child if one of them would magically deliver offspring after a lifetime of missing the mark
@maJa-KANELAThey're called chicks, not children.
Procces improvement Engineer here. We are infact so big on traceability in Europe and have gotten so good at it that when all the procceses are executed as intended we can narrow any production error or danger down to around 10 minutes in when it was produced and then trace back every single ingredient/material to when it was harvested and have that data available in less then on average 16 hours.
That's way too much to average americans!!
UserName92149 Are you more drunk than I am right now??
9:00 the water coming out of fountains is usually labelled if you can drink them or not, in europe. I mean, in France, that's the case, I dunno abt other countries (tell if it's like that in other countries too)
20:09 bro seriously? There’s a door for toilets in front of her😂 she didnt even try😂
Yeah, that was wild.
I looked through the comments for someone else to point out the obvious before I made another rant comment. Lol
The water out of the wall comes straight fron a natural spring .
In Europe we don't need 17 days worth of refrigerated food to last us 3 days.
And supermarkets are only 10 minutes walk away, so we can buy really fresh food when as need it....
Additionally many food items are actually not refrigerated.
@JSmellerM Like eggs!
@JSmellerM Don't forget US people are shitting their pants when it comes to nature. They hate nature, they are battling with it. They'd rather find a technology to maintain their way of leaving against the nature rather than learning to live with it.
Someone told me that Americans routinely keep bread in the fridge. But the bread will taste absolutely horrible from the fridge. 🤷🏻♂️
the old buildings one reminded me that my old workplace is older than the US 🤣
9:30 In Italy, if you see a fountain, water flowing from a wall, or from anywhere else, it’s drinkable. If it’s not, there will be a big sign saying “non potabile” (not drinkable). Italy has 700 sources of drinking water, and in the city of Rome alone (where you can drink water everywhere), there are 23 of them! most of the fountain still receive water from Roman aqueducts built 2,000 years ago.
Don't they call Rome the city of the thousand fountains?
That's false advertising
@nekane6168there are actually about 2500 drinkable water fountains in rome, which is estimated to be the city with the most fountains in the world
Not in Spain..just don't drink it..even if you cant read the sign water is not for drinking 😂😂
Oh, good to know! As far as I know, you shouldn't drink water from a fountain in Germany if there isn't a sign! And if there is, you have to understand it bc it could say "Trinkwasser" (safe to drink) or "kein Trinkwasser" (not safe to drink)
@janamuller8711 i know we are unique!! we have water clean and pure everywhere!! BEL PAESE (rome was called Regina Aquarum!)
A lot of the things the US citizens mention as "European" differ per European country. It mostly applies to the specific country the are at.
Like the townhouses in Amsterdam, nowhere else in the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam can you find this type of houses.
@Mike-LitorisSoBig Or the free public transport. I don't get no free fucking public transport ANYWHERE in the Czech republic.
It's because they didn't understand that Europe is not a country.
and some things are similar, but not everything
Some things are very similar, but not exactly the same. North France is similar to South Belgium for example, North-East France to South-West Germany, etc. It's because the buildings are often old and kept their look during the invasions decades/centuries ago.
The cities that were destroyed in WW1 and WW2 were rebuilt with the same architecture than before to preserve the cultural places.
8:11 this is already a big fridge
To be fair, we usually don't drive 1h to the store though. We walk 10 minutes. 😅
They're checking the water to see if it's still or moving lol
Some Americans think we do not have electricity, telephone, internet, because there are no wires hanging above our streets...
Public transportation is free in Luxembourg, but nowhere else.
A lot of areas of the UK have all the telephone wires running underground
"Public transportation is free in Luxembourg, but nowhere else." You're generally right, but I know of an example were such is arguably incorrect. There are 6 Bacs (ferries) that cross the Seine west of Rouen, which are free for pedestrians and cyclist.
They are not considered 'public transport' by the Normandie Tourisme, but as a tourist cyclist crossing at one, I certainly considered it 'free public transport'.
@sunnyjim1355 All ferries (pedestrians and cyclists) across the IJ in Amsterdam are free of charge as well. Like many other.
But free bus, tram, train and metro over an entire city or country, only the Grand Duchy.
In Madrid the subway is so cheap it's almost free... if you work, your company will probably give you 20-50 euros per month so you can pay for it monthly (50 is for people who live more than 1 hour away), some people just reject the benefit and walk/bike to the office if they live close by. If you bike to the office you might also get 30 euros in places where parking is scarce (because you're not using the parking lot).
Is that really the case? They think it isn't there because our infrastructure is better?
Thats not tha bakery thats the supermarket
Why can't "European" Fanta be like "Normal American Fanta"? Eh, Fanta IS European 🤦♂️. Squeeze an Orange and look at what coloUr the juice is. Now decide if American Fanta is normal 🤷♂️
High-fructose Corn syrup is used in the US but Trump is looking to change that so that the US will use cane sugar instead.
@chrisw5654 You really think they gonna change it because Orange Man says so? No way sir!
@chrisw5654 HAHAHAHA OMG sorry. But you MAGA is just so funny sometimes
@Nordlys-Incognito
However, real sugar is even healthier than corn syrup.
For the same amount of sweetening, more syrup is needed than would be the case with sugar.
Fructose also has the property of being stored particularly quickly in fat cells.
The only advantage of syrup is that it is cheaper than sugar.
@sylviarohge4204 I know. In EU countrys we HFCS isn't really a thing. But no Coca Cola is not working on changing US Cola because of Trump. Trump is delusional as always and so is his cultists
I'm sorry, but at 11:35 I felt like 5 million Brain Cells had died all at once.The worst part is, this person believes what they say.
In most parts of Europe still water comes straight out of the tap. It's that good.
And it's cold, even in summer. Not refrigerator-cold, but still cold. Still and cold… 😁👍
Green bottle - sparkling
Clear bottle - still
@Mighty2107 varies by brand and country
I can instantly name the oppsite...
In Germany, most brands use blue for sparkling, green is more of a middleground @Mighty2107
Fanta....
1. Fanta IS EUROPEAN!
2. Our Fanta contains natural food coloring, while Americans contains artificial food coloring that are forbidden in UE.
@FeWi-YTBro op left this for the delusional americans
Only the name is
like red 40 and other stuff that would count as attempted murder in germany
And European Fanta contains like 8% of orange juice.
@davidbb2081
Exactly that's the color of actual Orange juice
3:57 this is how Fanta looks when it isn’t full of chemicals 😂
When it has way less chemicals*** our shit still has some chemicals
Fr 🙏
They cannot STANDDDD when it doesn't have 40% of chemicals and 60% of actual ingredients
When we actually use a bit of orange juice
Fr never saw a orange fanta in my life if i saw an orange one i will think its poisend
@MrEdit_Channelorange means poison in Fanta I would prefer yellow Fanta over orange all the time
the fact that u put that disclaimer there to not swallow the cap it crazy
"Free public transportation" NO, NUH UH. IT AIN'T FREE. She straight up just didn't buy a ticket 😂
It is free in Luxembourg, where she filmed her video
@Kachkeis97 Wasn't free last time i went there, is that a recent change or just a few specific lines?
@papaVT it has been completely free nationwide (bus, tram and train service) since 2020, except for international high speed trains like the TGV or ICE.
So not exactly recent.
@Kachkeis97 Recent enough though when you count in the covid years.
Last time i went was in 2018
@papaVT He was actually there in 2020 when it was free. He would show up every morning at the same platform where he would hand the "conductor" 4 Euros. I would watch the "conductor" go buy a cup of coffee while the American boarded the train.
Once you start using the 24 hour clock regularly you don't need to do any math, you just remember that 1600 is 4pm etc. It's an instant recognition.
Yeah just take the number and do -2 than ur left with the correct time. 16:00 is 4pm 19:00 is 7pm etc.
In Italy we use the 24 hours system, but in the spoken language, when asked what time is it, it's pretty common to say "it's eight in the evening" meaning "it's 20:00"
@WhyAnimalsDoThingsnowhere where they use the 24 hours system they say is 17 hour or its or its 23hour😂
@Fr-ron @Fr-ron In here, I only heard it from TV or people setting appointments for work :D
@Fr-ron we do in germany. we dont say 17 hour. we say 17 o´clock.
but we use both 5 o´clock and 17 o´clock are both legit here (for the same time)
Pushing the shopping cart is literally how 90% of european kids are first exposed to drifting lmao
I love it being called military time… it’s just the time, when it’s 1700, we don’t say it’s ’seventeen hundred (hours)’, it’s just five.
The fact that "still water" is called "still" makes it even funier to watch how some Americans don't know which one is which. I mean the bottles even have different colors...
USA has the lowest literacy rate of the OECD countries - by far.
They can't read.
20:21 There were doors in the wall
Fr that was infuriating to watch 😮💨 It's literally right in front of her
Literally xd
Even I caught that with 0 knowledge. Lmao
The "tree cages" are called tree guards or tree shelters. They're basically there to protect the tree and make sure it gets to grow up mostly undisturbed.
And to protect trees from bumping cars.
@justineczarnobyl9987 And to protect pedestrians from car crashes, or these days sometimes terrorist attacks. But yeah, usually they are just to protect a young tree, but those are cast iron that last for ages
And in fall they are used by city workers to store the fallen leaves until the tree is done shedding... when all tge leaves have shed they come with a big vacuum to suck the leaves out off the cage
@justineczarnobyl9987 Mostly bicycles and dogs, really.
And If they die or get weak and are about to Fall, they dont Just Fall on the sidewalk
What do dogs do when they see a tree ???
Here in Belgium we have to pay for public transport, Outlets are even different in different parts of Europe, and in winter the sun does set at like 16:00 (4pm) only in summer you have days where the sun is still out till 22:00 (10pm).
in those prada restrooms there is another door inside, leading to toilet, you can clearly see the handle next to a sink
Yes. A second door is a fairly common setup in Europe. Though usually only when they have a single toilet, not multiple stales like here.
At the mens there might be a urinal in the first room.
Easy to spot.
From door to door, there are a whole lot of space, but the stall with the sink part are very small, aka there are a "hidden" room beyond with the actual toilet.
I think she doesn't expect a proper door as in it has to have big gaps around it for it to make sense to her.
To be fair the door handle is kinda hidden inside the second door.
So if you’re not expecting that or used to it then it’s easy to miss. Especially with the infinity mirror.
In my opinion the fancy design got in the way of discoverability here - see Vox video on Norman Doors.
11:07 When she came straight out the gate with "Europe is a big country"… 🤦♂️😱🙄🤣
In that moment, she either admitted that she is stupid or that she thinks her viewers are stupid. I would bet on the first option.
@FahrsklaveThe way he walks off in shame/disgust! 🤣🤣
this is just insane
It was ragebait i'm sure
That piece was kind of satirical. Noone is that dumb
"normal american Fanta" killed me
The shower doors have a plastic lip on the bottom. Loose enough to not stop the doors from moving, but tight enough to keep water in. There’s a magnetic strip that keeps the doors together when closed as well. Plus it seems to be a hotel room shower hence the smaller size.
My shower doors just fit together.
The pavement has an inclination(or a tilt i'm not sure how to say it) that makes water converge on the drain.
I'm polish and live in Poland and I travel quite a lot around europe. I've seen a shower like that like twice in my life
@robertmikicki6126I had a shower like that 😂 in Poland xD
If the water out of fountains is'nt drinkable there's a lable but most are drinkable
24 hour time is the best way to go, no confusion, our fanta has real juice in it.
plus with the 24hr clock just learn both, then there's no confusion where ever you go.
@TectonicBAT83 Yep but most American's the confusion, it could almost be an IQ. test.
Actually military and airport have 28 hour system. It's for the night shift and for when summer and winter hour shifts.
I'm European and I REALLY REALLY prefer am/pm
@tpilot_error40428hr? Or do you mean UTC?
The writing on the eggs is the best before date
Dutch guy here. The 'narrow houses' aren't houses. They are just hallways with staircases for the buildings they are part of. The reason you see multiple doors next to each other is that one door is for the ground floor apartment, while the staircases with separate doors lead to the other floors.
Also, houses in Amsterdam were taxed by the number of windows, so it probably gets a lot wider behind the facade.
@robertvtveldthat's Belgium. In Amsterdam they were taxed by the plot surface area of the grond level.
@wolololer not every houses in amsterdam are like in the city centre. most of our houses are eithers flats or houses which were built between now and 30 years ago
I'm dutch too and never seen that before. I don't live in Amsterdam
It's was to circumvent taxes. Back then the wider the building the more tax. The house in the video is probably way wider at the back
The american fanta is actually way worse for your health
Which is crazy because we already consider our fanta to be unhealthy
European fanta is like normal orange juice compared to the US fanta. Which would be a bottle of chemical toxic waste by european standart.
I.e it's not dangerous to drink, but excessive consumption of soft drinks are not recommended.
the rezervoir of the toilet is hidden in the wall and those buttons are on the rezervoir but u cant see it because it s in the wall 😂
Yeah, that’s a bad design. I totally understand her not seeing this whilst being in a hurry to pee. I just hope she didn’t wash her hands in the pissoir down the hallway
360° Shopping cart, its made for fathers and kids to have fun during shopping 😁
There are cages around threes to protect the threes from animals that eats the bark and also to protect them from snow-plows in the winter.
And sometimes from parking cars.
And if the tree is decaying the cage will stop the tree from falling on the roads or a poor individual on the path
2000 years old roman drinking water system fountain
And yet, she plays French themed music in the background 🤯🤣 it's like 'really, but ... really'!
8:49 Italian here, in Rome it's completely normal to drink water from random fountains found in the street, they were designed and made to be able to drink and let domesticated/wild animals find a safe drinkable source.
PS : Lots of people drink sparkling water but: usually bottle designs and their caps are different to be recognisable by people without being forced to read if it's still, carbonated or sparkling.
And the small hole on top of the faucet : just shut the way out with one's thumb, and the fresh water jumps into your mouth; utterly simple and brilliant.
😂😂😂😂 only Germans drink sparkling water 😭😭😭 as a Spanish I can't!!
In germany you can’t drink out of most fountains but one some it says that they are drinkable
Switzerland also has these fountains
how do i see a square arm
me just walking by mozarts house everyday without lookin…
12:12 Nah that has to be satire, there's no way in hell she said "In Europe everyone is homeschooled on the fjords." and actually meant it. I refuse to believe that.
I'm asking myself how she even managed to arrive somewhere in Europe.
She was rage baiting
Me too bro… me too…
She probably drank too much American 'Fanta' 🤪
She's not American but Norwegian or Finnish. She's ragebaiting.
Public transportation is only free in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 and yes it's completely free.
But then again, I guess most americans don't know where Luxembourg is or that it even exists.
There is also free public transport in Belgrade.
@zagreb1 might be some cities that have it, but the whole country of Luxembourg has free public transportation
its not free, you pay it every month with your taxes
@MrBlueSky1987 "the whole country of Luxembourg" can fit into some european cities.
@yassy05ar you would pay taxes anyway, so it counts as free
You flush toilet paper. The bin in the bathroom is for ladies hygiene products. Unreal he thought we didn't flush soiled toilet paper.
in most offices converted from ancient factories and warehouses cheap arse developer put thin piping and crap mulchers. in those it actually IS for toilet paper
@NihoniumLabs literally the case in half the europe
@NihoniumLabs it does happen in small towns in Italy and in Greece.
@NihoniumLabs -anywhere- generally in Europe
Not everywhere. You can't flush toilet paper in Greece for example.
3:10 " it might be in a different language "stil" hahahah
fun fact: the old houses in the Netherlands are that thin because in the old days you paid taxes on the width of your house, so to pay less they build really skinny houses but therefor they were very tall
The same in Belgium. (we had a long period being under the Holland reign.. and spanish netherlands)
@guyvandurme
and German HRE, and French , and Austrian ...
So it's the same nonsense as in England. The window tax. But in the Netherlands it gave it a charm
These tree guards around the perimeter of a tree pit that provide a physical barrier between a tree and our sometimes harsh urban environment. These tree guards reduce soil compaction, shield the trunk from physical damage and prevent pet waste from entering the tree pit. Hello from Ireland 🌲🌳🌴😁👍🇮🇪🇺🇸
In German pedestrian areas, they also often serve as an easy grid to fasten your bike to, and make things way easier!
Your chain doesn‘t have to go around the trunk, but only around one of the steel ‚thingies‘, sorry…
So, you can fasten 4 more bikes on that cage, instead of one around a tree!
It also saves the tree bark from getting damaged by the bicycles
In England, as often as not, they simply tarmac right up to the trunk 🤔 mind that is on mature trees I guess
As to the tree guards the verticals may be called pickets, pales or (more probably) struts and are held in place by horizontal rails
Belgian here, some models have a feature to prevent cats and others from climbing and killing birds
Dogs
Stop lying to the American dude. Just admit that European trees are just agressive as hell and need to be restrained 😜
My question would be: why do US citizens need huge ass fridges the size of a closet if most of their food is ultra processed crap which doesn't need to be refrigerated anyway and it's loaded with preservatives for maximum shelf-life?
🤔
Their fridge is full of 80% drink, 15% milk and 5% eggs... when you see their restock, they often have one or two shelves reserved for drinks, it's mind-boggling, they consume more soda than fresh fruits and vegetables
Certains américains cuisinent plus que d'autres. La vraie raison qui fait que leurs frigidaires sont si énormes c'est que la plupart des américains habitent loin de tout en réalité. Tout est grand aux USA et il faut prendre la voiture pour tout : le supermarché, l'école, le travail, aller boire un verre, etc... Donc ils ne vont pas au supermarché toutes les semaines, ils font des provisions pour 2 semaines au moins avant de retourner faire les courses. En Europe, à moins d'habiter à la campagne, on est au supermarché en maximum 5 ou 10 min, avec ou sans voiture, donc on peut y aller plus régulièrement. Aux USA ça n'a rien de choquant d'habiter à 25 ou 30 min de voiture du supermarché.
in US they need to drive to get anywhere, so getting to the store usually means they'll get food in great quantities and thinking about having as much storage as possible in order to not do another drive to the store soon. that's also why the sizes of the products there are insanely big, gigantic snack bags and enormous ham or salami pieces, because they don't eat it at once, they keep it longer than in Europe. here the closest store is like 5 mins away, if I want something I'll just go to the store in the opposite sidewalk and get smth for less than 5€
@emiliecollas6577 Oh,that explains a lot. I only put the sodas sometimes in the frige turing hot summer days beause I don't like to trink it icey cold.
You can always shock an American, when you show him our perfectly sized refrigerator!
23:15 In Norway sun never sets during the summer
Ik lol
just to let you know, Fanta was invented in Germany around World War 2, because the ingredients for Coca Cola weren't available. So the Cola factory in Germany had to come up with something different.
Looking at you being amazed by those basic things make me laugh so much
the shower doors sometimes have magnets in them so they stick together by the doors
and the floor is tilted
hiii at 20:00, the toilets are hidden by a door, you can barely see the handle but it's right in front of the entry ! it is because it is a sort of museum so they made the toilets respecting the aesthetic of the place ! great video as always !!
As an european myself that was the only thing which confused me as well, besides all the americans of course.
@plissk3n1337 wait so you trow your toiletspapper in the carbage? and if you do plz don't come to sweden
@Bjösk haha no you are right. not a thing in Germany. but there are countries in europe where this is done because the sewage treatment plants arent able to handle it. mostly in rural areas. So i wasnt confused by it because I experienced it several times. just plain wrong to tell that this is true for all of europe.
@plissk3n1337 thank god you are not doing it then you are welcome back here
Basically all "public" restrooms have a space with the basin and then there is the actual room with the toilet. It looked like the door to it was right in front of her tbh 😅
18:50 they protect the trees from when they're first planted. When their trunks get thick enough to do more damage to whatever hit them than will be done to them, the fencing will probably get removed 😊
I was looking for that comment 😂 dogs can still pee against them, but they can’t dig it up too
die farbe der eier hängt vom futter ab der stempel zeigt das datum an wann das ei gelegt wurde
In this fridge I see place for week food with veggies for two people xD
4:13 imagine she diacovering that Fanta is origanally European
Will probably send her into a coma cos it seems to happen a lot there judging by this compilation video 🤪

And that it contains actual orange juice (depending on country between 3-15%).
Still, back then there wasn't any orange in it, so it probably was another color.
@robertvtveld "Back then" it was cloudy whiteish and had nothing to do with modern fanta. It still had real juice though. But coke had actual coke in it, so...maaaybe we're not focusing on "back then" too much? O.o
Fanta: we also don't use corn syrup but sugar. So our soda is actually refreshing and not coating our throats in syrup
sugar and/or glucose-fructose syrup where i live.
in sweden, in summer the sun dosent go down untill 12pm
The reason why a lot of fridges are smaller is because we go shopping more because the food doesn't keep as long because they don't put loads of preservatives and chemicals in them. We basically buy less but more often.
Although you can actually buy bigger fridges.
We also go shopping more, because we can get there easier and get fresher food.
It’s mostly house/flat size
Got a free yank fridge years back - ice, double doors - the biz, but we had to keep it in the hall of our council house. Wasn’t blowing £8k to accommodate a free fridge 😂
@houghi3826 also because our countries are smaller so we dont have to drive for like half an hour or longer to get to the nearest store.
@MildlyInterested_ That's not really a "countries being smaller" thing though, at least for the vast majority of the population (which lives in or very close to settlements of a few thousand people on upwards both in Europe and the US). It's more that the idea to go to a giant mall once or twice a month and completely fill up your car instead of taking a short drive or even walk to a local small store once or twice a week never really caught on in Europe as much as it did in the US. Which means that those local shops were perfectly sustainable and we still have them basically everywhere. Whereas in the US, the majority of them died to the malls and you now often don't even have the choice any longer.
Bigger fridge, bigger electricity bill's 😂
The 'cages' around the trees are both decorative and to protect them from damage.
Protect from Damage fron cars bumping, from bikes leaning on and get locked, from dog pee....
I'm Italian our fountain is always running and clean, there are some acquedot that take the water from the river of the Mountain and give it clean for free
Aqueduct that is most likely built during Ancient Rome times I bet XD
Tree cage: protection from cars and snow plows.
As a french person, I can confirm that public transports are DEFINITELY not free (at least in France)
It depends on the city, Montpellier is and also Chatelreau
It is free in Luxembourg
In Finland it depends. Very young children, sure. May even bring one parent for free if young enough. (There's a place for trams in the middle of the bus) Also, I suppose the fact that most people have monthly transport cards may make it seem like free transport. Well not really, but it's a fixed payment for 30 days that gives a huge discount compared to single-trip paid in cash if you go for like five days a week both directions as people going to work or school do.
yes it depends on the city, from what i saw in Montpellier, Châteauroux and Vitré, it was free when i was there
Not free in Croatia either but it's fairly cheap.... Especially if you have the app cuz it somewhat more expensive to buy it on kiosk or on the bus/tram/train
European toilets out here making Americans feel like it’s Demolition Man and the seashells 😂.
I once have seen a toilet with seashell shaped buttons....only two though. Missed opportunity....
😂😂😂
Our UK fanta doesn't have 600 chemicals in it
And actual oranges in it
American Fanta looks more like irn bru
@helenbarnett83 irn bru is actually nice coming from a scots man. Still less chemicals than anything the us has
@helenbarnett83 US Fanta Orange doesn't even have orange juice in it.
It's filmed in the Albert Heijn THe Netherlands but we have the same Fanta
19:30 They’re urinals she’s in the gents 💀💀
