Tampons don't have an extra tax, that is just the normal 19% sales tax on all goods except for some certain stuff like books which are taxed 7% only. So the idea to sell tampons "disguised" as a book is a move to raise attention that such basic needs should not be taxed.

15:40 Yes some people over here have the same concerns, but I always say: "If a dude wants to do bad stuff in women's restrooms, he will not pretend to be a woman to go inside. He will just go and do it."
well, german woman here, these parking spots are always right at the entrance/exit of the parking garage and have good lighting at night, so you (hopefully, its still not 100% save obv.) can leave fast and save without pooping your pants while walking to your vehicle. Men can park there, but then they are assholes. same with parent-child spots for people withput children. you can park there. but the people will look at you and probably even talk to you.
I visited TU Munich für a 3 day course and used those slides a lot. There are slide mats at the top you should use which help protect your trousers. You swing yourself into a black hole. The first moment feels nearly like falling straight down before it transitions into a more normal sliding. Great fun! And if you talk into the slide you can speak with a person at the other end without shouting.
The parking spots for women are usually better-lit, with security cameras, near an exit/entrance to the building, and often wider - not because women can't park but because taking kids or a baby out of a car can be difficult in a narrow parking space.
22:35 No you don't have to build a beer tab to become a carpenter. You have to create something with the material, the job is working with. So a metal worker has to weld something. A baker, my cousin is one, has to bake something. He made a statue of an owl from long-lasting dough. That thing was not eatable. It became a kind of plaster. However, the job education here lasts 3 years of practical work and schooling. And craftman jobs have those as final test of your skills.

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed by the UN in 1948. It is really short but comprehensive. The U.S. signed it as well, and nevertheless, does not adhere to it (such as in keeping the death penalty or torture and degrading treatment or punishment (Guantanamo), equality before the law (when the Supreme Court just pardoned Trump for his crimes), arbitrary arrest, detention or exile (as also proposed by the incoming administration, etc. etc. etc.), which the declaration ALL mentions as going against human rights….

The 'castle' at 18.28 is one of the old city gates in Frankfurt, the Eschenheimer Turm, built in 1410. It's where you'd have entered the city coming from the north. There used to be a moat, these days, however, there's a bar at ground level. A 'Geselle' (translated 'fellow') is someone who finished an aprenticeship in crafting, like woodworking or carpentry. You need a Meister (master, someone who 'masterd' the trade, yes there are certifications for both) to teach you, and when you near the end of your aprenticeship you have to deliver a 'Gesellenstück' to prove what you've learned.
5:40 Yes, we have to create that emergency lane BEFORE police or ambulance etc. are coming. Usually when traffic jam is clogging up. BUT some BMW and Audi drivers think, they are better, and use the emergency lane.
everything that is considered an essential product, like water, bread or toilet paper is taxed with 7%, anything that is considered a luxury product, like caviar, wine and lepstick (cosmetics) is taxted with 19% since i'm a guy, i didn't know that tampons were taxed with 19% but that is, in my opinion, incredibly stupid. those should be seen as an essential item like toilet paper...
The Kunsthofpassage is NOT a building, the Kunsthofpassage is a passage/a court between several houses and most of them have different decorative and arcitectural features, including this house, and on the ground floors are several artisanal boutiques and fair trade shops. It's one my favourite places in Dresden. Also, you do NOT walk on the brigde in Kromlau, it's purely decorational.
26:08 only been to a couple of graveyards, but they usually have a rack for watering cans at the entrance that you can take and are supposed to hang back up when leaving. i suppose some people will leave their private ones, especially when seeing the ones of the graveyard are dwindling, because some people have no honor.
I worked in a couple of hotels in Germany and they had Gideon bibles in there specifically. Not even my boss could tell who put them there and if they were orders or if they were put there unsolicited. I also remember a guy from the Gideons handing out pocket bibles in front of my school when it ended. That’s also why the name „Gideon“ rings a bell
When I was a child, there was a Bible in the drawer of the bedside table in almost every hotel room. My mother would always collect them and take them to reception - that was her friendly form of protest. To be honest, I haven't looked in the drawers of the bedside tables when I stayed in hotels for ages, but I don't think it's that common these days. On a school trip, a classmate of mine swapped the Bible for the Kama Sutra for fun. The hotel then complained to our school, which made the whole school talk about it and my classmate was celebrated as a hero and a rebel against the establishment. Good old times…!
The paddle-through in Hamburg gets used a lot. You would be surprised, at how many people kayak or stand-up paddle here. I once submitted a video to you "Ärger auf der Alster", which is about exactly this strange phenomenon. Hamburg has a lot of canals and more bridges than Amsterdam and Venice combined. Löwenzahn (the kids show) - By the way, we should rename our cities to whatever you say they're called. Wei-snsns-baden and Gie-schschsch-en, instead of Wiesbaden and Gießen.
The replica of a stadium with beer crates reminds me and probably many Germans of the legendary angry speech of a famous football coach in which he said his players played like “bottle empty”. It was an Italian coach who only spoke broken German.😁
Someone got creative when he designed one of the parking garages in my city. The women parking spots are in the darkest corner as far away from the elevator as possible.
19:25 That Aquarium broke a couple years ago. The TH-cam Channel "fern" (english version of the German channel "Simplicismuss") has a video about it. 27:40 Those are real Strawberrys 😀. It's called "Spaghetti Ice" and usually gets served with Vanilla Ice.
5:00 I think the main thing about the female gymnast's suits is not the cleavage, but rather the fact that they have legs ... while, for example, female gymnasts from the USA were forced to show their legs completely and had to be happy if their suit at least covered their underwear.
3th Flor !!! (let me be a smartass) in Germany first floor is always after climbing up some stairs - In an elevator, the ground floor is always indicated with zero and the 1 stands for the first floor above the ground floor
the women parking spots arent by law, so as a men you could just use those. That beeing said, not only with it beeing a sad move. You could face conseuquences by whoever is in charge of the parking lot as its still their house rules.
so, it's not illegal/ no violation of German traffic laws to park there as a man - just rude. This is in contrast to pushing spots for handicapped persons, which is an official traffic rule, so that it's illegal to wrongly use a marked parking spot for handicapped people. But also, as the previous commenter said, parking there as a man can be violating the Terms of Use of the parking facility
Spaghetti Eis/ spaghetti ice cream is actually so freaking good. It is made from two bowls of ice cream take it for a machine, but do it like spaghetti and then they put it on a plate and under the spaghetti ice cream it’s whipped cream and some toppings on it. You can decide which flavor of ice cream you want. 🍨🍦
The cemetery thing was weird. In Finland the church provides the watering cans and they are usually located in several locations around the cemetery with water outlets etc. depending on its size. Nobody brings their own.
12:47 the suspended trains here in Wuppertal had to be build "flying" over Our river (the Wupper) due to the landscape beeing unflat with Lots of mountains and due to a Lack of space for a traditionelle railway
You don’t have to built a beer dispenser. You can built basically what ever you want but you have to built something and you have to agree with your employer because he has to pay for it!
26:30 i have no idea what this is supposed to be but its not guacamole, when something here is labeled guacamole youre actually getting guacamole, this company has messed up their product name. Its not even the ingridients for guacamole
You've already counted the floors correctly! Germans don't count the ground floor as a number - maybe as exception with a 0 - , but only the floors above and they start with 1. So your answer third floor was absolutely correct. Edit: The Schwebebahn is located in my Hometown, This is the old one, but the carts are new, they get replaced from time to time. They also have historic Carts called Kaiserwagen and you can book them for private Events for a ride through Wuppertal.
24:32 was not an actual house moved :-) It was an art installation (therefore the roots ...) in Karlsruhe celebrating the cities 300th anniversary, which btw is extraordinarily young for european standards.

Lol, Gideon's Bible... I love this song. In the UK, they have Bibles, too. I guess it's more common in traditionally non-Catholic countries, because I've never seen one in those "very Catholic" countries like France, Italy or Spain.
16.12 if you come from the tram or "U Bahn" and stop at cologne central station and take a specific exit the view is even better because you see cologne cathredral from the front not the back
... and because most people will go there on foot or by bike, in my little town about 99% of all cemetery visitors. It would be a nuisance to bring your own can from home. Plus you have to know that German graves are planted with flowers, there is not just a bit spread of lawn with tombstones.
No, few, very few Europeans are interested in the debate over transgender issues. Only about 0.02 percent of Germans consider themselves transgender. So, to us it's a marginal issue. We have far more important matters over which we choose to argue. 😅
3:20 ive never seen a bible in a hotel in germany, its also worth to note that around 50% of germany are atheist / not religious and that statistic does not include those that were born into the christian church but arent really faithull and just didnt bother leaving the church.
The aquarium with the elevator inside was part of Seaworld Berlin. It was in a hotel lobby and was built by a company from America. Unfortunately, it collapsed some time ago. The hotel is still closed today. A few fish survived. It will not be rebuilt.
@spannung_laden fair enough, I've seen earlier news it was already reopen. But with berlin's history of finishing anything on time, this shouldn't surprise me...
6:50 = VAT is Value addex Tax. A Tax that is added to the total price. If a product gets sold for $10 7%/19% are added on top for a total of $11,90 you pay as the customer. The store you bought the product from has to pay the 19% to the ministry of finance for you. That rule applies to "Business To Customer" or "Business to Business" but not for "private to private" trade.
2:35 always remember, the human rights charta has never been signed/ratified by the US. Never. Technically speaking people in the US do not have basic human rights. That would at least explain your low minimum wages, worker exploitation and so on
The first one is not a Zoo, it's a Circus. They normally are travelling with all sorts of animals, the more exotic the bigger attraction. There are high regulations on how to keep, treat and transport such animals, so it's either high efforts and costs and still only minimum conditions for the animals, or less animals and less show,... Cool solution!
The pong crosswalk is not real. The very funny video presenting the thing was a student project for special effect work. The aquarium doesn't exist anymore. It catastrophically collapsed some years ago.
VAT means value added tax. It only adds value to the salary of politicians. So basically a tax for nothing. In German it is called "Mehrwertsteuer" but is often referred to "Märchensteuer" which translates to "Fairytale tax."
I cannot say for sure but leaving that fantasy book at the hotel rooms is very much US thing as I've never seen it anywhere around Europe... not even Italy, Spain or Poland where you might expect it 😅
Reading the bible is not a catholic thing. Catholics were historically never encouraged the read the script themselves. Also family bibles are a purely Lutheran (protestant) thing.
VAT = value added tax. Germany has two VAT rates: one at 7% for staple foods and items everybody needs regularly for survival (base wares), and 19% for anything else. Tampons until then were charged with the higher 19% VAT rate, instead of 7%. When this advertisement hit the public it very quickly turned into a legislative proposal that hit the Bundestag quickly. Instead of taking its usual multi-year approach on such initiatives the Bundestag/parliament (similar to congress) voted on it very quickly, and almost unanimously decided, yepp, tampons and other female hygiene products have to be taxed at the lower 7% rate instead of the higher 19% rate.
It is "Kunst" (arts) and "Hof" (yard/court) that are linked together. There is no "Kuns -thof" in German, we do not have "th" as in "this" or "th" as in "thousand" in German.
ZOO is totally different than Circus. Zoo provides natural envirorment (as close as possible) and the animals are maintained by professional zoologists that help to conserve the endangered animals that could face extinction if left in their original place. Przewalski's horse was saved by zoos and was reintroduced to it's natural habitat of mongolia years later. Circus is stressful, unnatural, loud envirorment. Animals are forced to perform unnatural feats and often maintained by people with limited animal care education with strong profit motive...
Also, a circus cage where animals are housed between shows is very different from an enclosure that mimics the natural habitat of an animal. To be fair, you can argue about the size of the zoo enclosures, but as you said, a zoo does much more than showcase animals for visitors, which is ultimately a good thing.
Your opinion about zoos is just complete bullshit. I know it's nice for humans to tell themselves these points you mention... but sorry, just not true. Zoos, at least in its current way, should be forbidden!
3:20 During my time in the US every room had a bible in it. Maybe the aren´t BOUGHT by the hotel but they are considered inventory and i am pretty sure they replaced all the bibles with my "corrections" in it... It is bizzar, I mean you are in Vegas, drunk, gambling and strip shows advertised all over the strip but your hotel room has a bible.
the holos are easy: You need Wire mesh fence, glass and 2 beamer. Put the Wire mesh fence between 2 big plates of glass and beam the movie on it from the 2 beamer on the glass. The Japanese invented it. You can see Hatsune Miku concerts with this technology. For e.g. Lady Gaga and Hatsune Miku in the US :) And no, they don´t have an extra tax. The normal VAT here is 19% but books and education thinks, food.. have only 7%
doesn't HAVE to be a beer tap, but yeah, making some kind of project in your final year to show you can is how you get licensed, and it's not just for carpenters, but most labor and service jobs. to get my IT Sysadmin license i digitalized a computer classroom. popular choices for workmen are sinks and tubs, clocks, one graduating class built a whole playground. getting graded individually of course but still.
2:00 Circus, not zoo. Germany still has zoos with real animals 6:05 not gifted by Japan, this is a common internet lie. They were planted by the city of Bonn 6:50 VAT is similar to sales tax. In Germany most goods have a 19% VAT while food, transport, and cultural events only have 7% VAT. 18:45 This is the JW Marriott Hotel in Frankfurt (formerly Jumeirah Hotel) 24:00 115 Euros without insurance. Still barely more than a taxi.
They were, but not in 1990 and not because of the reunification. It was in the 1980's a gift from Japan at a official visit between the Prime Minister of Japan and the Federal Chancellor. The trees were given to Bonn which used them during a current district renovation.
Tampons shouldn't have 19% (normal) but 7%, because girls cannot not chose to buy sanitary products. They have to, and they are usually _very_ expensive products. When you're 12, it's a nightmare, believe me 😂
The "Woman" or Mother and Child parking only" its made cuz this its for PPl with childs. that not even the door can crush into an other car or something if you want to get you kids in/out of the car. You can find this moste of time in near to Mainentrance of Supermarkets near to disabled parking
Your face is so funny, when you check the emergency ambulance ride bill. For us Germans it is nothing special, because we all pay for it each month with a little part of our monthly salary. No one is allowed not to have a health insurance. And because all have it, it is really cheap in case some of us need health care. Your american "Obamacare" is going a little bit in this direction. 😉 I just hope for you, that Ronald McTrump will not cancel it next time, because it is such a great advantage for all people.

Not even my boss could tell who put them there and if they were orders or if they were put there unsolicited. I also remember a guy from the Gideons handing out pocket bibles in front of my school when it ended. That’s also why the name „Gideon“ rings a bell
Jo Rhyan!
Thats the thrid floor over here -the ground doesn't count (and if it counts -it would be 0 or E for Erdgeschoss {Earthfloor}) 😂👌🏽
20:53 Das Schlüsselloch wird leicht vermisst, wenn man es sucht, wo es nicht ist.
😂😂
23:28 my city has a 24/7 canoe vending machine. Just swipe your card and grab one. It’s a rental tho, you have to return it after 48h
When I was a child, there was a Bible in the drawer of the bedside table in almost every hotel room. My mother would always collect them and take them to reception - that was her friendly form of protest.
To be honest, I haven't looked in the drawers of the bedside tables when I stayed in hotels for ages, but I don't think it's that common these days.
On a school trip, a classmate of mine swapped the Bible for the Kama Sutra for fun. The hotel then complained to our school, which made the whole school talk about it and my classmate was celebrated as a hero and a rebel against the establishment. Good old times…!
RIP elevator aquarium
Fun fact: Those tampon "books" were significantly more expensive than just normally packaged tampons. They shot their own tacos with that.
It was just virtue signalling at the cost of women, like always.
Fun fact: it was just a campaign and it was successful. Menstrual cycle products aren't taxed with 19% anymore since many years. It's 7%.
The paddle-through in Hamburg gets used a lot. You would be surprised, at how many people kayak or stand-up paddle here. I once submitted a video to you "Ärger auf der Alster", which is about exactly this strange phenomenon. Hamburg has a lot of canals and more bridges than Amsterdam and Venice combined.
Löwenzahn (the kids show) - By the way, we should rename our cities to whatever you say they're called.
Wei-snsns-baden and Gie-schschsch-en, instead of Wiesbaden and Gießen.
The replica of a stadium with beer crates reminds me and probably many Germans of the legendary angry speech of a famous football coach in which he said his players played like “bottle empty”. It was an Italian coach who only spoke broken German.😁
In Germany we take ambulances instead of taxis. It’s quicker during traffic jams on the motorway and cheaper also! 😂🙌🏼
Someone got creative when he designed one of the parking garages in my city. The women parking spots are in the darkest corner as far away from the elevator as possible.
👀
19:25 That Aquarium broke a couple years ago. The TH-cam Channel "fern" (english version of the German channel "Simplicismuss") has a video about it.
27:40 Those are real Strawberrys 😀. It's called "Spaghetti Ice" and usually gets served with Vanilla Ice.
5:00 I think the main thing about the female gymnast's suits is not the cleavage, but rather the fact that they have legs ... while, for example, female gymnasts from the USA were forced to show their legs completely and had to be happy if their suit at least covered their underwear.
3th Flor !!! (let me be a smartass)
in Germany first floor is always after climbing up some stairs
- In an elevator, the ground floor is always indicated with zero and the 1 stands for the first floor above the ground floor
the women parking spots arent by law, so as a men you could just use those.
That beeing said, not only with it beeing a sad move. You could face conseuquences by whoever is in charge of the parking lot as its still their house rules.
so, it's not illegal/ no violation of German traffic laws to park there as a man - just rude. This is in contrast to pushing spots for handicapped persons, which is an official traffic rule, so that it's illegal to wrongly use a marked parking spot for handicapped people.
But also, as the previous commenter said, parking there as a man can be violating the Terms of Use of the parking facility
Spaghetti Eis/ spaghetti ice cream is actually so freaking good. It is made from two bowls of ice cream take it for a machine, but do it like spaghetti and then they put it on a plate and under the spaghetti ice cream it’s whipped cream and some toppings on it. You can decide which flavor of ice cream you want. 🍨🍦
18:00 i never had that on a plane id love that! its always just movies
the aquarium no longer exists. (Berlin) it exploded 2022
A spiral suitcase would rwally be something else 😂
The aquarium with an elevator inside exploded 2 years ago.
I loved this episode. You are perfect for this channel 😊
When I studied physics in 1980 we worked in optics with holograms.
The cemetery thing was weird. In Finland the church provides the watering cans and they are usually located in several locations around the cemetery with water outlets etc. depending on its size. Nobody brings their own.
I've been to the elevator inside the aquarium. It was absolutely amazing.
Unfortunately it bursted two years ago. :(
23:50 This was discontinnued because the bureaucracy was too much, its free again.
12:47 the suspended trains here in Wuppertal had to be build "flying" over Our river (the Wupper) due to the landscape beeing unflat with Lots of mountains and due to a Lack of space for a traditionelle railway
Most of these things mentioned are exceptional for german standards too.
You don’t have to built a beer dispenser. You can built basically what ever you want but you have to built something and you have to agree with your employer because he has to pay for it!
26:30 i have no idea what this is supposed to be but its not guacamole, when something here is labeled guacamole youre actually getting guacamole, this company has messed up their product name. Its not even the ingridients for guacamole
You've already counted the floors correctly! Germans don't count the ground floor as a number - maybe as exception with a 0 - , but only the floors above and they start with 1. So your answer third floor was absolutely correct.
Edit: The Schwebebahn is located in my Hometown, This is the old one, but the carts are new, they get replaced from time to time. They also have historic Carts called Kaiserwagen and you can book them for private Events for a ride through Wuppertal.
not the spiral suitcase 💀💀
Not building an emergency lane during a traffic jam on the highway will be charged with a fine of 200€, in Austria it's 1700€
24:32 was not an actual house moved :-) It was an art installation (therefore the roots ...) in Karlsruhe celebrating the cities 300th anniversary, which btw is extraordinarily young for european standards.
just adding more Information:
Title: "Pulled by the Roots at City is the Start"
Artist: "Leandro Erlich"
Placed: 19 june 2015 - 27 september 2015
Venue: Marktplatz 75015 Bretten Germany (Karlsruhe)
Lol, Gideon's Bible... I love this song. In the UK, they have Bibles, too. I guess it's more common in traditionally non-Catholic countries, because I've never seen one in those "very Catholic" countries like France, Italy or Spain.
16.12 if you come from the tram or "U Bahn" and stop at cologne central station and take a specific exit the view is even better because you see cologne cathredral from the front not the back
The aquarium at 19:15 no longer exists. It broke in 2022.
The sad reason for the watering can rack is, that public watering cans owned by the graveyard get stolen.
... and because most people will go there on foot or by bike, in my little town about 99% of all cemetery visitors. It would be a nuisance to bring your own can from home. Plus you have to know that German graves are planted with flowers, there is not just a bit spread of lawn with tombstones.
No, few, very few Europeans are interested in the debate over transgender issues. Only about 0.02 percent of Germans consider themselves transgender. So, to us it's a marginal issue. We have far more important matters over which we choose to argue. 😅
19% is the regular tax in Germany, but food, books and cultural events have a lower tax of 7%
including tampons....
Living my whole life in Germany but never have seen a trafficlight with "Pong".
3:20 ive never seen a bible in a hotel in germany, its also worth to note that around 50% of germany are atheist / not religious and that statistic does not include those that were born into the christian church but arent really faithull and just didnt bother leaving the church.
I've seen it many times! It's a thing or at least, was.
„I love human rights!“ who doesn’t Ryan, who doesn’t 😁😉
Me, cause they are BS.
@ wow, we got an intelligent one right here!
@@vince4712 At least as intelligent as your 90-IQ-take "We all love human rights".
The aquarium with the elevator inside was part of Seaworld Berlin. It was in a hotel lobby and was built by a company from America. Unfortunately, it collapsed some time ago. The hotel is still closed today. A few fish survived. It will not be rebuilt.
The hotel is very much opened, the aquarium incident happened 2 years ago...
@pavelmacek282 the hotel will not reopen until January 2025...
@spannung_laden fair enough, I've seen earlier news it was already reopen. But with berlin's history of finishing anything on time, this shouldn't surprise me...
6:50 = VAT is Value addex Tax. A Tax that is added to the total price. If a product gets sold for $10 7%/19% are added on top for a total of $11,90 you pay as the customer.
The store you bought the product from has to pay the 19% to the ministry of finance for you.
That rule applies to "Business To Customer" or "Business to Business" but not for "private to private" trade.
Known as sales tax in the US.
🙂 einiges davon hast Du bereits in früheren Videos (von reddit?) gehabt. Davon mal abgesehen ist Deutschland wirklich erstaunlich 🙂
2:35 always remember, the human rights charta has never been signed/ratified by the US. Never.
Technically speaking people in the US do not have basic human rights.
That would at least explain your low minimum wages, worker exploitation and so on
The first one is not a Zoo, it's a Circus. They normally are travelling with all sorts of animals, the more exotic the bigger attraction. There are high regulations on how to keep, treat and transport such animals, so it's either high efforts and costs and still only minimum conditions for the animals, or less animals and less show,...
Cool solution!
24:39 That was an Art project, and not a house being moved. "Argentine artist Leandro Erlich has created “Pulled by the Roots” "
22:50 no. every carpenter can decide what he wanna build. everything is possible if the level of difficulty is high enough
The pong crosswalk is not real. The very funny video presenting the thing was a student project for special effect work.
The aquarium doesn't exist anymore. It catastrophically collapsed some years ago.
And tampons have a 7% tax since 2021.
VAT means value added tax. It only adds value to the salary of politicians. So basically a tax for nothing. In German it is called "Mehrwertsteuer" but is often referred to "Märchensteuer" which translates to "Fairytale tax."
I cannot say for sure but leaving that fantasy book at the hotel rooms is very much US thing as I've never seen it anywhere around Europe... not even Italy, Spain or Poland where you might expect it 😅
Reading the bible is not a catholic thing. Catholics were historically never encouraged the read the script themselves. Also family bibles are a purely Lutheran (protestant) thing.
10:20 that picture is frequently in the Windows 10 start screen.
VAT = value added tax.
Germany has two VAT rates: one at 7% for staple foods and items everybody needs regularly for survival (base wares), and 19% for anything else. Tampons until then were charged with the higher 19% VAT rate, instead of 7%. When this advertisement hit the public it very quickly turned into a legislative proposal that hit the Bundestag quickly. Instead of taking its usual multi-year approach on such initiatives the Bundestag/parliament (similar to congress) voted on it very quickly, and almost unanimously decided, yepp, tampons and other female hygiene products have to be taxed at the lower 7% rate instead of the higher 19% rate.
It is "Kunst" (arts) and "Hof" (yard/court) that are linked together. There is no "Kuns -thof" in German, we do not have "th" as in "this" or "th" as in "thousand" in German.
8:25 xD He has to mean *Peter Lustig* xD
is this a reupload?
ZOO is totally different than Circus. Zoo provides natural envirorment (as close as possible) and the animals are maintained by professional zoologists that help to conserve the endangered animals that could face extinction if left in their original place. Przewalski's horse was saved by zoos and was reintroduced to it's natural habitat of mongolia years later.
Circus is stressful, unnatural, loud envirorment. Animals are forced to perform unnatural feats and often maintained by people with limited animal care education with strong profit motive...
Fuck Zoos, fuck circusses
Also, a circus cage where animals are housed between shows is very different from an enclosure that mimics the natural habitat of an animal. To be fair, you can argue about the size of the zoo enclosures, but as you said, a zoo does much more than showcase animals for visitors, which is ultimately a good thing.
Your opinion about zoos is just complete bullshit. I know it's nice for humans to tell themselves these points you mention... but sorry, just not true. Zoos, at least in its current way, should be forbidden!
Afaik the aquarium Was in Berlin and broke a few years ago.
the aquarium was made in America and it broke ... 😂
The first pictures were of a circus, not a zoo.
A common trick for doing holograms is projecting an image onto glass.
The fish tank exploded btw.
The Aquarium is exploded last year
3:20 During my time in the US every room had a bible in it.
Maybe the aren´t BOUGHT by the hotel but they are considered inventory and i am pretty sure they replaced all the bibles with my "corrections" in it...
It is bizzar, I mean you are in Vegas, drunk, gambling and strip shows advertised all over the strip but your hotel room has a bible.
You reacted to Tropical Islands before ☺️
the holos are easy: You need Wire mesh fence, glass and 2 beamer. Put the Wire mesh fence between 2 big plates of glass and beam the movie on it from the 2 beamer on the glass.
The Japanese invented it. You can see Hatsune Miku concerts with this technology. For e.g. Lady Gaga and Hatsune Miku in the US :) And no, they don´t have an extra tax. The normal VAT here is 19% but books and education thinks, food.. have only 7%
doesn't HAVE to be a beer tap, but yeah, making some kind of project in your final year to show you can is how you get licensed, and it's not just for carpenters, but most labor and service jobs.
to get my IT Sysadmin license i digitalized a computer classroom.
popular choices for workmen are sinks and tubs, clocks,
one graduating class built a whole playground. getting graded individually of course but still.
16:17 Weissbäden Germany😂😂😂😂
1:35 Germany has the most Zoos in the world. Greets from Germany. They are a huge part in keeping animals from dying out.
They're not. They're lying. It's a minor part of Zoos.
@@LETMino85 What did you smoke?
2:00 Circus, not zoo. Germany still has zoos with real animals
6:05 not gifted by Japan, this is a common internet lie. They were planted by the city of Bonn
6:50 VAT is similar to sales tax. In Germany most goods have a 19% VAT while food, transport, and cultural events only have 7% VAT.
18:45 This is the JW Marriott Hotel in Frankfurt (formerly Jumeirah Hotel)
24:00 115 Euros without insurance. Still barely more than a taxi.
The cherry blossoms were not gifted by Japan by the way …
They were, but not in 1990 and not because of the reunification. It was in the 1980's a gift from Japan at a official visit between the Prime Minister of Japan and the Federal Chancellor. The trees were given to Bonn which used them during a current district renovation.
Tampons shouldn't have 19% (normal) but 7%, because girls cannot not chose to buy sanitary products. They have to, and they are usually _very_ expensive products. When you're 12, it's a nightmare, believe me 😂
27:10 Ich bin in einer Eisdiele in Münster und bestelle gerade Spaghetti Eis. I just order Spaghetti ice in Münster.
The "Woman" or Mother and Child parking only" its made cuz this its for PPl with childs. that not even the door can crush into an other car or something if you want to get you kids in/out of the car. You can find this moste of time in near to Mainentrance of Supermarkets near to disabled parking
Hello There 👋
Your face is so funny, when you check the emergency ambulance ride bill. For us Germans it is nothing special, because we all pay for it each month with a little part of our monthly salary. No one is allowed not to have a health insurance. And because all have it, it is really cheap in case some of us need health care. Your american "Obamacare" is going a little bit in this direction. 😉
I just hope for you, that Ronald McTrump will not cancel it next time, because it is such a great advantage for all people.
