Congrats on the success. Glad to be a part of that and wishing you and your loved ones a happy holiday season.

Being British I was cringing, but that's tik tok for you. As for the Oz idiot, there's only 1 jaguar in the state's. 🤷🤦

Here in Italy we also unlocked the perk "knocking" to check if the toilet is busy or not, I bet you forgot that you also have that. Apparently in USA it's still a mistery 😂

Epic burn!

I think that's pretty much the same for the rest of the developed world except for the US.

Yeah. We have then in Europe everywhere as well. Pretty easy;)

Those stalls in the US also go high up, so you can easily see underneath if theres any feet. Here they go slightly up so if you are unsure, usually you see if its locked or not, but if not you just bend down slightly to see if you see any feet. Its not a huge gap below so still privacy

Same for Germany

Yes same here in Denmark 🇩🇰

Thank you!! I really appreciate the support

The switch from a beautiful word like Autumn to an ugly word like Fall still makes me sad...

Long gone the days we went to the ‘flicks’.

@@RisaPlays me too, me too..

Exactly, and that is because VAT is always paid by the final consumer, so the tax is part of the price, not added to the price. Only the businesses need to keep track of it because they need to return it to the tax authorities, but it part of the price the consumer needs to pay, not a separate item like they do in the US. And different products have different VAT rates.

In the UK you pay the advertised price exactly. Even if they made a mistake and the price said 5£ when it's actually 7£ on the system. When you tell them thats not the price you saw, they go to check and give it to you for the price you saw.

It's just a turn of phrase, in the same way a lot of British people say, "Alright?" as a greeting. If I had to guess, I'd say it probably comes from an older expression British people used to use when greeting others, "how do you do?". I'm sure it comes off as very shallow because it's a stupid, ham-fisted turn of phrase. But it essentially just means hello, and is sort of an awkward gateway to either continue conversing, or to carry on your way. No offense need be taken.

Nah, it's very common here in Europe to answer that you're fine. It's close friends/family that you MIGHT tell something, if it's somewhat important. If you're overall fine enough, you're fine. If it's no one close, you're fine. If you want to know what's new in someone's life, or how it's going overall, you can ask specifically this, but a "how are you" gets an "alright", if it's alright enough.

How is a grade level confusing? We have kindergarten through 12th grade for general education.

@@jamiemoss3633 When an American refers to an 8th grader I have no idea what age that is because we don't refer to school classes like that.

@@annedunne4526 kindergarten starts at age 5 for some kids and 6 for other children depending on their birthday and when the state's cut off date is for birthdays. In my state its sometime in September. 8th graders are 13 & 14 years old. To figure out the average age of students in a specific level you would take the current grade level the child is in and add it to 5 &6. For example 5th graders are 10 & 11 years old. The schools also kind of vary by state. In my state K-5 is elementary, 6th-8th grade is middle school and 9th-12th is high school. The super bowl is the championship game of the season for American football. NFL is the national football league(American football). A corn dog(is a hot dog on a stick that is a coated in cornbread). A sloppy Joe is chopped up hamburger that is browned; cooked in a tomato based sauce and served on a hamburger bun. It's called a sloppy Joe because it's messy and it's finger food. A frat house or sorority is basically like a club registered with a university that provides some sort of housing for its members. They're generally for people who enjoy partying; a lot of partying. I don't know if there is any actually academic purpose for them. I went to community College and we didn't have them. You would find them at four years universities. A community college is where many people get their two year degrees because it's cheaper then taking those basic required classes at at a four year college. Americans aren't the only people who make assumptions.

@@jamiemoss3633 I think you misunderstand what I was saying. I know now what all those things are from various media. My point is that often Americans seem to think their way of seeing things is the only way. We don't use these terms and are sometimes confused by them. Maybe it's true what Oscar Wilde said about Britain and America being two countries divided by the same language.

@@jamiemoss3633 That depends, here is Queensland Kindergarten or kindy as its called is for 3 raising 4 year olds while prep is 4 raising 5's. Our prep is your K.

Not necessarily, most of the paranoia about trans people is pure hatred of trans people, the toilets thing is just an excuse for them to express it.

Biological women want biological women only spaces, end of.

@@joandsarah77 . You know them so well you are speaking for all 170 million of them in the US?. Ever heard of unisex toilets, they are not exactly uncommon?

@@joandsarah77 Biological woman here, I have no issues with other people of any gender using the same public toilet block as myself, so long as I can't see them and they can't see me because the toilet door is properly fitted without stupidly huge gaps. I live in Australia and very regularly have to use unisex toilets because I have a disabled son who needs me to go into the toilet with him to assist. Can't do that if no unisex toilets exist. I'm just glad I'm living in Australia where we accept realities like that, where almost every public toilet has a male room, a female room, and a unisex room, because we don't harp on with petty paranoid excuses to exclude people that are different to us from something as simple and necessary as using a toilet. And yet we still have the female only and male only toilet rooms, because we do understand that SOME women and SOME men do want a gender exclusive room to use. It's not hard to wrap one's head around so long as one is willing to let go of some cognitive bias and be open to changing one's mind and allowing a unisex toilet to exist alongside the male and female ones, and have properly fitting doors!

@@grahvis Unisex toilets are nowhere near as common in the USA as they are in most other countries. You can almost play pick the USAmerican when it comes to the topic of unisex public toilets, they'll be the ones sitting alongside a few extreme Islamic nations peoples in thinking it's not a completely normal and acceptable thing.

German here agreeing

@@klamin_original only southern Germany though, the other germans hate us for that strange time thing :D

@@nats1602 huh? we also say "halb 4" here in western germany (NRW)

Hahaha I was looking for this comment. Over here in the Netherlands we also say it like this. Half 4 is 3:30.

@@nats1602 Halb vier wird doch überall in D gesagt (habe in NRW und Nordhessen gelebt und man hört es auch im dt. TV)??? Witzig daran ist eher, dass keiner halb sechzehn sagt, aber fünfzehndreissig sehr wohl.

Nah man. It really depends. If somebody says they are the best in everything and think of other countries as backwards shitholes, then it’s totally okay to set them straight. I’m not saying all Americans are this way, but there are a lot of arrogant Americans and I think it’s completely fair to make fun of them

I've noticed that too. Ryan always remains positive toward other countries, even if he's reacting to some awfully disrespectful stuff about Americans.

It seems to be a trend to be okay to hate on Americans, but now for Americans to hate on anyone else. Not all Americans (like me) are dumb, uncultured, and fat.

For some Americans this is probably because we're such a mix of people that we don't want to insult other countries... you know, cause we'll be called racist and hateful. I think it's funny when other places make fun of America, but sometimes it goes too far.

​@@braedynhoward3644 I don't know. It's like they're just getting treated like they treat others. Sure, just blind rudeness isn't necessary (or desirable), but being quiet harsh is them reaping what they sow.

What’s a Limey? I like the sound of it!

I understand the tipping of service workers is not very prevalent in most other countries. I could write a whole book on how complicated it is here to know who to tip and the general acceptable rate.

​@@piperjaycie A 'Limey' is a sometimes slightly derogatory term used most specifically for an English man. It apparently originates from the use of limes and lime juice by the Royal Navy as a source of Vitamin C in order to prevent scurvy.

we say the same way in hungarian. half4 is 3.30.

Way the same in Belgium; half 4 is 3.30.

you don't even need to push the door. unless they're different in the uk, the outside of the lock should change to show that the door is actually closed, they have like a little dial that moves when you lock it, so it'll go from one color to the other on the outside. usually it's green and turns to red when you lock it. no need for huge gaps and no need to push the door, just looking at that will tell you if the door is locked or not, and if it is, then it's either occupied or maintenance closed it

Your right but I was thinking further back than that before the green and red were a thing I think I'm a lot older than you so tend to go back in time more often yes it's got much easier with the green and red my mistake.

That depends on the kind of tea and how long you leave the leafs in the water. You don't want to make green tea with boiling water, 70°c is hot enough for that and black tea shouldn't be brewed hotter than 90°c. Well, if you like bitter tea you can of course use boiling water.

Water should never be boiled in a microwave as it can explode when moved. It has exploded in people's faces causing severe burns

This is also the case in germany. 🙂

Yeah, I like that. Although nobody knows how many football fields equal one Saarland. Feels like the imperial measurement system

In the UK, we sometimes use Wales.

@@grahvis Guess it is a human thing and not only some weird national thing. Btw. one Wales are eight Saarland.

It is a bathroom door for crying out loud, it is not the door to a vault. If the EMT needs to break it they will. There is no need to have only a half door installed because of that.

@@mikatu Hey there's no argument from me. I think its stupid to be honest, but I won't be going back there again, so I don't really care either lol. As long as the bathrooms in Aus remain private I'm all good here thanks lol

i don't really mind if people have to get down on their knees or climb up to look in. If they're going to those sorta lengths then they're clearly committed to being a perv. But a casual gap between door and frame is unacceptable.

When did the USA have an epidemic of heroines?

I don't think it's about knowing whether a stall is vacant. It's about discouraging homosexual activity and drug use. It is intentionally non-private. It's never openly addressed over here, and at this point we're just used to it.

I think the Canadian was referring to the war of 1812 during which the original White House was burned down

The no switches on plugs is because of the high currents that the US sockets use due to low voltage the switches need to be too chunky relative to rest of socket so someone decided it could be omitted (even tho UK plugs are similar current)

IDs are demanded if a restaurant serves alcohol, because they can lose their license if they serve alcohol to underage people. They are just protecting themselves. Everyone here understands that.

Well, we (Germany) don't have those switches and reading your explanation i ask myself "Why has the DIN never bothered if that's such an issue?" but then i realised: It's because we use the Type F sockets which are by themselves safer then UKs Type G or the USs Type A or B...

One thing is for sure; they don't pick Geography! ;-)

Depends, some Americans go to community college during high school as duel enrollment, I'm pretty sure they can pick a few classes. Some also take AP classes.

The UK wasn't formed until 1922

I have never been to North America, but I lived in Japan during six months, and I can tell the Japanese do it too.

In Germany "half four" (halb vier) always means 03:30 (or 15:30, to stir up that 24h system thing …) Some regions also use "three-quarter four" (dreiviertel vier) for 03:45, or even "quarter four" (viertel vier) for 03:15 - which confuses even other Germans who use "quarter to/past", but is still consistent as it means that a quarter, a half or three quarters of the fourth hour has passed… (the 4th hour *ends* at 4 o'clock)

@@Cau_No I think @miniveedub just ment that if you have friends in both Germany and England it gets confusing because in Germany 'half 4' means 3:30 while in England it means 4:30.

I had no clue switches existed on power outlets XD

@@braedynhoward3644 I have found that even in my seventies there is always something new to be learned. 🙂

Authentic spelling? Get real. One thing about England is it really is INSULAR. I was in Italy, and heard an English tourist say, "Well, they really can't make a proper scone here, can they?"

isnt it Burschenschaft?

@@denzelpanther240 You are right. "Burschenschaft" is the correct team for that type of "Bruderschaft".

In America Fraternities and Sororities are actual homes students live in.

@@LythaWausW Sure, but there are also places for students to stay where they are not subject to weird rituals, hazing and what else is going on in these places.

Every country has it's own student culture but institutionalizing rich kids being arrogant seems universal. Here in the Netherlands they are not racist at all though. They are very classist by Dutch standards, and the POC there were usually adopted by rich white parents.

In English it's an abbreviated term for "half an hour past 4 o'clock'. So 'half past 4' meaning 4:30 makes logical sense to us too. And 'half 4' is just an even shortened term for that. We just hold different meanings to the same phrase. Both are logical.

As an Australian who was studying German in school when I met my British boyfriend (eventually husband) I found “half 4” confusing. I know you both find your own version logical but why be so economical with words, why not half to 4 or half past 4, it’s not that tiring to say one extra word?

When on vacation in Ireland a diner was closed until half 1. Then I learned what this means -- I never had problems in neither Ireland nor Great Britain after that.

Well, in French, Spanish and Italian, it is done the exact same way as in English - the half is always past the hour, not before it.

@@miniveedub We don’t have a term for “half past something” in German since you only need the “half something” part to define time. 3:30 is always half 4, 2:30 is always half 3. I think the reason why that is the way we say it is that we get taught that the clock is like a cake when we learn to read the clock at a young age. You have “quarter”, “half” and “three quarters” to divide an hour into four equal parts as you would divide a cake. Quarter 2 = 1:15 Half 2 = 1:30 Three quarters 2 = 1:45 (although three quarters is mainly a southern German term, but since I am from the south that’s how I learned it. People from other parts of Germany say “quarter to” while we in the south never say “quarter to”) And the full hour obviously being 2 then. But as I said that’s just pure logic to me, there is no half past full cake, there’s just half a cake and that’s always 50% of the cake.

Don't you mean "Green" is free?

@@cyberfux yes also, but in the Netherlands its mostly white.

Universal health care, 12€ laughable minimum wage, tipping as you like but no switches because superior Type F sockets ;-)

@@cyberfux the fact you think type f are superior shows how clueless you are haha. type g are the safest in the world for a reason.

The point is that in Europe & the UK the price already includes the tax. America is an outlier in this case.

@@philipmccarthy6175 Thats what i said…

That's a reason that suits the business, not the consumer. That's the choice, where does government lie the bureaucratic burden of the taxes, at the consumer or at the business. Not suprisingly it's the USA that favours the businesses over the consumers.

@@DenUitvreter That might be, but do they ever stop and think about why they're the only ones? And why use the imperial system? Both decisions are bad for everyone

@@driver288 Because business in charge there, not the citizens. Imperial system is a different matter.
