Where you intend to stay is part of the questioning when you enter and they can get quite suspicious if you don’t have a plan. Source: An Austrian, white friend of mine who went to the US. He also just wanted to travel around but was warned in advance (by other, mostly white europeans) that he shouldn’t state that when asked. It’s just not worth the risk.

While that’s not the same as having to show hotel bookings for the whole stay, it is a thing travelers have had to worry about for quite some time now. I’m sure it’s worse and more complicated for anyone of color.

Isn’t that a Jehovah’s witnesses thing or something?

This, anyone with strong glasses would be disabled in the stone age, lol. Needed some surgery before? You’d be dead. Ever broke a bone? Likely dead.

I went through my whole (living) family tree once and I’m pretty sure none of us would have survived, including me.

If you ever think you can fly: start from the ground.

Good advice for children and drunk people.

Not true everywhere, actually never heard of it here (Germany and Austria).

But if you walk into a place and ask for a paper cup of tap water, a lot of workers are willing to give it to you, regardless of the laws.

Vienna has tap water straight from the mountains btw and it tastes amazing. Recommended.

Found. The pacu fish

Better cloth dyes, probably?

I’m not from the US. Which words did y’all borrow?

I’m pretty sure the Italians would take the war criminal over you.

The first time I heard about sex from a friend, I was around 5 or 6 and went to my mom if that’s true. My mom went to the library, got some sex-ed books for kids and talked me through it. It ended up being not one single talk, but multiple, age appropriate ones spread over the years.

She didn’t do a perfect job, I’d say. There were many things left unknown and she was awkward with the topic (not an issue as a kid, certain issue as a teen).Though, considering that she got all her sex ed from magazines back in the day, definite progress on a generational scale.

I’m confident that I could do a better job than her, because she did a better job than her parents. That’s how it all works, no?

As god intended.

The “regular” ist key here. I checked my local breads, saw no added sugar, saw some sweet breads with sugar, concluded that regular bread usually doesn’t contain sugar. Asked you to disprove the claim with examples, because I got curious. That’s not claiming all breads contain no sugar. That’s your interpretation, not my intended meaning.

I can also tell you why I concluded that: because I didnt count Gerstenmalz-extrakt as sugar (and didn’t know what “malted barley” translates to). I didn’t even know it was sweet. I searched for sugar in the ingredients and couldn’t find any. So now I learned something new, which is that this stuff is sweet, even if it isn’t pure sugar. Also that our breads, even if they usually taste less sweet than in other countries I’ve been to, have added sweet stuff. Good to know.

Dude, I never said no bread in Germany contains sugar. Regular supermarket bread in my area mostly doesn’t, so I was wondering. I’m not sure what got you annoyed enough about an innocent question to downvote me and turn this into a three comment answer? I really wasn’t trying to be snarky.

That’s the thing with stereotypes, it’s not about saying all people or all things are like this, it’s about tendencies. Some people play those up for humor. Anyone who then seriously claims that “everyone/everything from country x is like that” is an idiot of course. I didn’t do that though.

Thanks for giving me examples, it’s good to know that the sugar content of storebought bread is that different depending on the region. That’s all I wanted to know.

This is what I browse this sub for, thank you.

It’s a joke man.

Don’t do this to your kids if you think that was wrong, lol. I know people who grew up like this, complained to me and then started to behave the exact same way with their kids later on.

I know parents who don’t own PCs. Just phones. A bunch of working class kids are without access to a PC. Of course they’re going to be worse at it than we were. How are they supposed to learn?

It’s not like we did it because we wanted to show off our useful skills on the job market, lol.

Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though? I just looked it up for the supermarkets in my area, so I’m sure I’m not spouting bullshit.

Genuine question, what bread did you look at?

There are varieties with sugar, but it’s not the norm. This is definitely much more typical for other countries (not just the US).

I didn’t think you could make the job of a paramedic even more exciting than it already is, but here we are.
