Americans really couldn't care less about the environment. Drive oversized trucks, demand ice with everything (and throw it away when they refill, think 24hr AC is non -negotiable, Also, we scrapped plastic straws, and cutlery (I miss plastic straws).
@@Phiyedough I genuinely wonder if the best thing that the USA could create to try and make it into a normal, civilised country is a constitutional Bill of Responsibilities to go with their Bill of Rights. I don't think it even matters too much what would be on that list, just having one would hopefully change their national mindset and be a reminder that responsilities are the unavoidable counterpart to rights, and are just as important!
Well, ya think ? Of course they don't the only thing they care about is money ,profits but that's only for the super rich everyone else lives in relative poverty in the US ! The US govt. only cares to catering for big tech., big corporates while leaving the rest of it's own citizens to rot in poverty. Great system of government ! I think Europe ,besides the UK, is much better at least Europe takes care of their own workers and citizens ! The only reason , ONLY reason the USA exists as a nation right now is because of the young men who fought and died in WWII. They were men of courage , honor , decency , selflessness back then they saved the US to still be able to exist right now. This is not the case today. But of course most young US citizens don't recognize or even care about that today ! Sad !
USA poluttion per capita is the 2nd in the world after China USA pollution per capita is higher than all the ocuntry from position 3 to 25 combined China and USA pollution per capita combined is higher than the rest of the countries on the planet combined Americans are so irresponsible and selfish
In private I only saw straw used with soda cans during the summer outside (to prevent injury from wasps) and if you have lipstick on and want to prevent leaving it on the glass.
Outside of America burgers are defined by the round burger buns, not the filling. Sandwiches are fillings between two slices of bread. Plastic straws are banned in most parts of the world. I'm in Auckland New Zealand and last summer I had my air set to 25 (77) to cool the house down! It was over 30 (86) outside!
im from Sweden, 25c is definetly hot here, ya plastic straws and single use plastics r banned here too.. ... Hamburgers, rminced meat(any meat) between two slices of bread, hamburgers with chicken, we call those chicken burgers .. Hamburgers likely originated from middle east, but got its common name (Ham)Burgh later Hamburger from a (Ham)-Burgh sause, as faar i know its was used in 1763 Hannah Glasse's Art of Cookery, Made Plain and Easy. ..but obviusly the use is faar older and wasent made with beef at all.. ..it likel more than a 1000 years old...
Meantime this happy band of Kiwis now living in Ireland are also busy complaining about the heat - we've actually had a couple of really hot, and more to the point dry, days this summer. Don't miss the weather one little bit - I'm from Waitemata, my hubby's from Mangere and the son-in-law from Wellington.
You are in fear because someone was surprised to hear a country he doesn't live in now uses paper straws even when at no point did he say he didn't understand why that happens? You must tremble at a lot of things in life.

Ryan, I have to break it to you, the rest of the world calls all kind of burgers burgers, everything that is in burger buns, also chicken burgers with burger buns I guess the US (maybe Canada, that I'm not sure about) calls it a chicken sandwich
Americans dont realize the reason why Europeans complain about everything beyond 25°C or 77 Freedom Units is because Europe having a far higher Humidity Level thus Heat hits you way harder than in dry areas like most of the US When I am in Turkey I casually live in 35-42°C but here in Germany I literally die once it gets to 28°C. Also it doesnt help that our Brick Homes become heating devices after 2 Days of only Sun if you live in a dense Area with many homes next to each other and the sun keeps heating the walls of the houses RIP to you once you go outside
Where I live in the UK there have been exactly 18 days in the last ten years when the temperature has gone above 25°C so I also complain when it is as high as that because it happens so rarely. I am just not used to it. The last time that happened was 19th July 2022
I don't drink thru straws.Period. I never use the cup holders in my car. I don't drink in a car. If I want to drink something, I stop, take a seat and order a drink, which will be served in a glass.
The original sandwich was a slice of meat between two slices of bread. Eventually, the term became a verb and an adjective, covering a situation where one substance was placed in between two pieces of another substance. So as a chicken burger is chicken between two parts of a burger bun, it can be called a chicken sandwich. In British English, an edible sandwich is a more precise term, where the outer layers are two pieces of bread.
here in finland, we call the bun burger buns and anything that has burger buns, is a burger (beef,chicken,fish etc). we dont refer patties as burgers, here its mincemeat steak( if beef or pork).
Mediterranean countries are used to constant heatwaves in Summer, when the wind blows from the South, that's coming from the Sahara desert so it's no joke.
As someone from a Mediterranean country I can relate. With a bad heatwave in my country, temperatures can go up to 45 degrees Celsius so it’s practically hell ;-;
When I visit the Mediterranean in summer and go home to the Netherlands a Dutch summer is cold or comfortably warm. I really notice I didn't go anywhere this summer, as the 30°C we've had last week was really awful. Today temperatures are lower, about 21°C but it's so humid.
In a town called Marble Bar, Australia the WORLD record heatwave is 100F or over for 160 consecutive days. Even in MID WINTER, brief bursts of heat can result in the temperature rising as high as 35 °C (95 °F) for a few days.
Not sure about the antisociality, but it's definetly one of the most dumb decision you can ever make. It's like shouting on others "hey I have small PP and it hurts me so much" 😂
Antisocial is not the word you were looking for, but you are overlooking the cases where trucks are necessary. I'm a woman, and needed a really big truck to haul my heavy cargo. A smaller truck did not cut it, as I learned the hard way, trying to brake down a mountain.
Plastic straws (as well as single use didsposable dishes made from plastic) are banned within the EU since 2021. There are many alternatives: Disposables made from paper, (real) straw, bamboo and other materials (including biodegradable polylactide), edibles from pasta or sweeties, washables from glass, bamboo, steel or silicone, ...
I'm Dutch, and our house is actually air-conditioned from top to bottom. During the winter, the same system heats the house very energy efficiently. We are 80% less gas dependent now. (100% next year). Both cars are better for the environment as well. One is fully electric, and the other is a Toyota Mirai, which is a hydrogen car. Unfortunately, hydrogen is still a bit exotic even here in the Netherlands. Plastic straws??? Are you kidding me 😮 America is still a third-world country except for its military. It's a matter of making the right choices. You can definitely have both. By the way, nothing is free. We pay our taxes, and we pay them for our common wealth, not our individual wealth and life.
I have an easy solution to the ''hate paper straws''' issue, we keep a small pack of reusable metal straws on us when we go out purely for using when we buy drinks. Easily cleaned, they don't dissolve in the liquid and they won't destroy the oceans. Choice is there so make the right one and it isn't single use plastic.
American Football should be called American Hand-Egg, because there is neither a foot kicking nor a ball to kick. Balls are normally round, not egg-shaped. The american phrasing simply doesn't make any sense.
I'd go with 'United Statesian Hand-Egg' as the rest of the Americas (barring Canada which is over-influenced by the US) seem to be on-board with association football.
Haha, Hand-Egg! 😂😂 But seriously, I think it should be called American Rugby instead. The game seems to have more in common with rugby than football. 🤔
We says Chicken burger too in France. Never knew that the rest of the world didn't. But it's not really like it's a question I ask myself often. But I don't really go for burger when I'm travelling. X)
@@ectophyllaalba6003 I think it's just the USA being different, as normal? (When French people sometimes talk about "le culture anglo-saxon" or "le monde des anglophones" or whatever, most of the time it is really just: "Some weird thing that only the USA does." 😂)
Regarding the temperature thing, when are people going to understand that what feels like a nice, pleasant day in one part of the world can feel absolutely unbearable in another part of the world, it all depends on the climate and yearly average temperature where you are at. Here in Finland, because we are so far north and the yearly average is quite low, it doesn't take that much before we think it's getting "too hot"... Some people will start complaining as soon as it get's above 70 fahrenheit. our bodies are not aclimated to higher temperatures... But in recent years with the rising temperatures in southern Europe, they have started vaccationing here in the summer to get away from the heat...
@@LythaWausWand there's hundreds of millions of people in the world who would love a coolcation, but will never be allowed into the countries or won't have the money. In many places around the equator life is becoming physically unbearable. 40 degrees Celsius with 98% humidity. The human body can't handle it.
wdym chicken sandwich? It's between 2 burger buns which makes it a burger. How can something be a sandwich, when there's literally no sandwich bread involved?
Burger = two small round brioche buns and served hot Sandwich (if not specified) = composed of real bread served cold (baguette, ciabatta, Tunnbröd...) Miscellaneous = hot dog, croque-monsieur, kebab, wrap... (can be called sandwich but always with their full name like kebab sandwich)
The problem with "high" temperatures in the UK is the humidity - we're sitting on a relatively small island, with prevailing winds blowing in from an ocean. The heat index (humidity/temperature/wind) can be brutal. I can honestly say from experience that 100F in Arizona can feel positively refreshing compared with 25C/95% RH in England!
@@MrLunarlander it also makes things feel colder. About 15 years ago, I visited my MIL in rural Yorkshire in late August /early September. I got rained on, and ended up feeling colder at 15C than I had ever felt, despite the fact that I once queued to get into a club for over an hour when it was over -30C outside 😂
Additional Context: Plastic Straws, Beer/food wrapping and plastic bags are the most common form of plastic waste in the environment. So in the UK and many various other Countries, plastic straws have been replaced with paper straws. Personally... i hate them (The paper)... when rough carboard touches my lips, mouth or teeth i get a instant repulsion/gag reaction.
@@da3daluz The turtle is just trying to Snorkel... 😶🌫 I hate using paper straws... but i don't disagree with banning plastic straws... i just cant use paper straws and wish there was a better alternative like compostable "plastic" alternatives that already exist... but companies are cheap.
@@babalonkie Straws made of straw do exist. They are just cut and cleaned wheat stalks. How expensive could they be to chain restaurants? I used to buy them by 50 pieces in nice little cardboard boxes in a Polish supermarket when my children were young enough to bother to use straws ;)
As a French guy, difference between a burger and a sandwich is easy: a burger is round, made of burger bread, a sandwich is long, made of baguette bread. But the English world know nothing about breads!
As an adult Brit, to me straws are only for children. Paper straws are much better than wasteful plastic ones. AC is a recent thing, you managed without it for centuries.
People look at me funny when I say that I don't have air-conditioning living in Melbourne Australia. Sometimes when I go to a friends house and their A/C is set at 25c(78f) it's just too cold. If it's 32c(90f) outside yes it's nice at first, but having the A/C set at that all day? No....

@@onerva0001 If your drink is full of ice some people don't like the feel of ice cubes hitting their teeth when they take a sip. I mean FULL of ice like in America. I'm grown up but cannot imagine drinking a slushie without a straw. It would be falling in your face half the time. But you're right that bendy straws are for parties or kids.
73F is NOT considered a heatwave in the UK... that's now considered a normal and pleasant day. 80F+ for 3+ days is considered a heatwave. It's currently 74F here... and that's the coldest day for a month... with the months average being 86F and peaking at 90F. Now In the UK, the past few years has seen temperatures hitting 105F.. What is being overlooked is the UK is just outside of the Artic Circle and is (was) classed as "Cool temperate"... Brits have lived and essentially evolved in that climate... Yet the heat and humidity has been climbing over the years... with weather resembling places in the Mediterranean and some Tropical places... some in those places would disagree but they forget that their weather has also been changing. Also... That not only is that Brit wrong... he said "USA weather"... USA is huge and has many varying climates... even the tiny of Island of UK has a average temperature difference of 10 degrees between the south and north.
@@esaedvik "It's almost a 1000 miles to the arctic circle from the UK..." What are you on about!? The UK is 248 miles from the artic circle and the closet land border that doesn't cross into it...
For my entire childhood, we only had paper straws. We even had chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavoured straws for our milk. Plastic is so prolific, it’s destroying the planet because there’s no way to get rid of it.
Dunno as a finnish person living in Finland I take off long sleeves when the temperature is 16 C (roughly 61 F). Yup that's like summer and it's time to wear a t-shirt and shorts. 75 F is very warm for me. But then I complain if sauna is heated under 80 C (176 F).
Most Brits wouldn't go in Chik Fil A because of their homophobia and far right views. We generally don't use straws at all. It's not a sandwich. It's in a bun. Sandwiches are between two normal slices of bread and they have butter on them.
I'm British and have no clue what you mean in your first sentence. Most of the UK is centralist in viewpoint, which is why the far left calls us all right-wing and we Brits have been far more accepting of people's partner preferences. than the US has, for the past 40-50 years.
@Thurgosh_OG Chik Fil-a opened a branch in the UK a while back. They closed down very quickly because everyone knew they are homophobic and didn't go there.
That burger looked grim. Did they dig it out of a bin before serving? Like all American food it's not fit to feed to pigs. And sauces in little plastic containers. Top quality, eh?
In Slovenia, straws are mainly used by children and McDonald's visitors. 25°C is a hot summer in England, if they reach continental temperatures (35°C) England stops.
To me a burger is anything that looks like 🍔 (has round burger buns and a patty made out ANY kind of meat, chicken included) and a sandwich looks like 🥪 (no patty and always has triangle or square shape)
It is cute how so many people think the plastic straw is about something as shallow as polluting the enviroment. It certainly is about that, but what people seem to have missed is that micro plastic are destroying humans from the inside. So next time you look at the sun shining in to your window and you see the dust in the air. That is not dust, that is microplastic that you, me, your family, kids, animals breathing in to their bodies an then stop for a short while and think about how much plastic you have in your home, and that everytime you touch any plastic you release micro plastic from it. THAT is scary and that is what we should think about rather then DUDE IT IS MY RIGHT!
I'm Spanish and I call hamburguer too the "sandwich" she was eating. We call sandwich the one made with the "English" sliced bread (pan de molde) and "bocadillo" the one with a baguette (barra de pan) kind of bread . If you use a kind of homemade loaf of bread (hogaza) we call it "tostada" or "tosta". 😅 We have different names of what you call sandwich depending of the bread used.
Since the hamburger was invented in Hamburg, a German city, I think we have the authority to say, that a burger bun with something in it, is a burger. Americans calling only the Burger patty a burger are wrong. Sorry! Plastic straws are nicer, but not worth suffering turtles. MacDonald's in Germany doesn't have any straws for sodas anymore, which sucks. What's wrong with paper straws?
Paper straws are also wasteful. Paper takes much water and energy to produce. I used to buy straws made of straw (plants). They certainly don't give you any paper taste. But my children don't use straws anymore, they grew out of it ;)
… and yet the first hamburgers were served on toasted sliced bread 🤔 The ‘Hamburg steak' which precedes the hamburger was brought over to the US by early German immigrants and is more akin to what Americans now call a Salisbury steak (a fake cutlet of the minced cheaper beef cuts, shaped to look like a solid cut of beef). The bread addition comes later, from early diner & tavern menus and recipe book evidence it seems it became common practice to serve it on a trencher (a slice of bread to absorb the fat and jus released in the cooking process) and this evolved into the hamburger we know today.
@@bognagruba7653 well, MacDonald/fast-food is always wasteful. I don't see, why the straws make it that much worse. I usually eat and drink in the car or outside. Without a lid that's a mess and drinking from the soggy paper lid is disgusting. Plus when I was a kid a friend of mine died from swallowing a wasp that was in her soda. I don't like to drink from a can or something with a lid and hole ever since. Straws are safer in the summer when being outside.
10:15 32° Celsius is an unusual high temperature for north-western Europe and qualifies as a 'heatwave'. people in the Mediterranean would kill for this assessment. however, due to climate change even the Scandinavians will have to get used to it while more and more regions in the world experience peak temperatures exceeding 50° Celsius every year. it's gonna get very scary.
In The Netherlands it is called a summer day when temperature reaches 25°C (77°F), a tropical day when it reaches 30°C (86°F) and an extreme hot day when it reaches 35°C (95°F). A heatwave needs three tropical days and 5 summer days in a row. We hardly ever have a heatwave. The last two weeks we had temperatures between 22 and 34°C, but no heatwave. I have an A/C in the bedroom, did use it one time for an hour before going to bed, because it was 24°C and very humid during the night. Normally I sleep with the windows open, so cool air can flow in the bedroom, but that sticky night I kept the windows closed. Americans always have the A/C set on arctic temperatures which is so bad, for your health, your wallet and the environment. When in Florida, I always use the A/C for only one hour before going to sleep, that’s all. But I always have to got back to the hotelroom during the day, because housekeeping always sets the A/C so low it gives you literally goosebumps from the cold. I hate that.
heatwave conditions are different between us and Europe because of the air humidity. In the US you have a higher temp but also a dry climate so you can sweat and the sweat can evaporate cooling you down. In the EU we generally have higher humidity so even when you sweat, your sweat does not evaporate you're just getting wet and overheated. For example in Poland temperature above 30'C ( 86'F ) during a day is considered a heatwave and when in the night id does not come below 20'C (68'F) then it's considered tropical heatwave. (overheating during the day and night)
in france heat wave is more than 30°c during the day and more than 23 °C during the night . no ac here but 3 feet thick stone wall . 20°c inside when it s 35 ° c outside
Yes.. We have 'Mini vans' assuming you're referring to MPV's like the Ford Tourneo connect or Ford C-max, VW Touran, Mercedes Vito or Mercedes B class and Fiat L500, not to mention brands you don't have in the US like Renault Espace or Renault Grand scenic, or Peugeot Partner or Citroën Berlingo plus many Japanese and Korean brands... you get the picture
In Germany we consider everything 90 and above a heat wave. 75 is perfect weather. If I lived in the US I would need to walk my dogs and would want to spend time outside. So even with AC 100 degrees would suck a lot. Not to talk about the people who work outside. But 80 degrees is also exhausting if you can't cool down inside and can't sleep at night because of the heat.
IDK about the UK, but the Netherlands classify a heat wave as "at least 5 consecutive days with a maximum temperature of at least 25°C [77°F], of which at least 3 days had a maximum t empersture of 30°C [86°F] (which are also known as 'tropical days')" So no, at least in The Netherlands, 75°F (24°C) is not a heatwave, but it is considered very warm if not hot.
everyone can complain about heat, because there is different types of heat. in Germany over 30C/86F is considered a heat wave but it can feel very different depending on the humidity. a dry heat with over 32C is sometimes more bearable than a humid heat at 28C.
when i went to france is was 40 degrees c and i was perfectly fine, i came back to england i was dying because england is so much more humid and sticky
10:40 OK this was important for me 'cause I see other EU countries not using AC during summer, I was starting to feel irresponsible because using it. BUT. I live in North Italy, temperatures these days are 25 to 40°C (77-104°F) and will be like this for these 8 weeks of July-August; using it only from 12.00 to 20.00 (12AM to 8PM) and setting it at 28°C (83°F)
Australian here..I set my AC to 23C (around 74F). Some have it colder but that's a good balance between coolness and being economical with power. And don't usually put it on until after midday. Same temp in winter but usually only put on after sun goes down.
In France, we just had a warning for a heat wave - temperatures reached between 35°C and 40°C - 85°F to 105°F. We are starting to look at installing AC to keep our homes under 27°C (80°F), knowing that most people will adjust heating to be between 15°C (60°F) and 25°C (77°F) depending on season. Brits live way up north, they can't stand the heat. Well a couple decades ago they barely saw the Sun, so...
The problem with AC is when the difference in temperature is too great. When it is very hot outside you get sweaty and humid. If you then go inside a space with cold AC you get too cold and start shivering. In the USA I have to remember to bring a sweater to wear inside, or I get a terrible cold after a couple of days.
At fastfood, we generally either use paper straws or no straws, and in 99.9% of other scenario's, no straws. And I agree, plastic straws drink better than paper straws, but what's even better is metal staws that you can put through the dishes (they are quite rare here but my dad has a few). Also here in the Netherlands it's also called a kipburger (which roughly translates to chicken burger) IDK what is considered a heatwave in UK but here in Limburg we recently had two days of yellow temperature warning (which means you should take precautions when it comes to cooling yourself down and drink a lot of water) and that was like 30 degrees, with peaks up to 35 degrees, which is actually quite close to lower Texas temps in summer, so I can complain about the heat in my country because we have heat waves that hot (I went to a coastal park that day, that was quite nice)
Buy stainless steel straw. No need to plastic. There is no reason to polute the planet just because you can't drink like an adult without sucking from teet.
I mean I was around the D.C. area some years ago and it was like 100 °F / 38 °C outside. We were obviously wearing shorts and a really lightweight T-shirt as you probably should in the summer. We entered the reception room of a motel and I kid you not, the guy there had his AC set to 60 °F / 15.5 °C. It literally kicked me in the face when I got in. The restaurants were largely the same, I gradually learnt to take a sweatshirt with me even though it was hot summer outside. I get it that those people usually stay inside the entire day but going inside and outside such rooms would kill me.
A 'heatwave' has a specific demarcation, three consecutive days of +5C above the 5 year average for the corresponding dates in that region. Making it a comparative and not definitive measure of the weather conditions.
@onerva0001 Wow, the heat wave is 25°c in Finland. Summer only begins when it is 25°c in Denmark, but okay, Finland is also higher up to the north than Denmark.
about half a second before ryan said "see how nice he is" i was thinking..ffs im not even there and that salesdude is anoing me to the point where i wouldnt care how good the chicken is im not comming back :P we really do have different definitions of nice :P
Sure, Brits can't survive heat but people in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc. are doing fine, even without AC and it's fucking hot there. They just know how to build and how to behave to cope with a hot climate.
Minute 5:02 - Plastic straws are completely banned from Italy since months. They use hard paperstraws now Someone should compensate for USA irresponsible pollution
The amount of pollutants from straws is negligible. It’s a ridiculous charade. You’re broke and don’t know how to bathe properly. Absolutely disgusting.
Hi Ryan. The major factor that has to be compared with truck size, is the size of our ancient streets - in historic centres, city streets are often wide enough just for one-way traffic, if indeed you're allowed to drive along them anyway. Many are "access only" for deliveries, while many others are being turned into pedestrian precincts. In Europe I've seen the navette driver (local circular town bus) pull in his wing mirrors on both sides while squeezing down some ancient precinct. These are just examples.
Agree, in more Nordic Europe countries starting from 86°F is classed as heat wave and it's really tough to function under such weather. As it seem hotter when humidity is high too.
In the small Norwegian village where I live, I talked to a guy from Philadelphia.😂 Asked if he was going back to the US now that his Norwegian wife has passed ...nope.😅
Yeah, EU banned plastic straws in favor of paper ones

For me a «hamburger» is minced meat (traditionally with persil and onion, also minced, salt and pepper), made in a ball, and then smashed flat and round. You cook it and you can eat it just as it is or more modernly, inside a round soft bread. In old times they were also called German steaks or Russian steaks. If left uncooked they are Tartar steaks.
I once looked up comparative sizes (by area) of EU member states and US states. I'm from Finland, which is the 5th largest EU member state by area (after France, Spain, Sweden and Germany) at 336,884 square kilometres or 130,072 square miles. In comparison, 4 US states (Alaska, Texas, California and Montana) are larger by area than Finland. Only Alaska and Texas are larger by area than any of the EU member states. ETA: In Finland, I think 77 degree Fahrenheit (25 degrees C) is the threshold for a heat warning from our weather service. But then again, it can get humid AF in summer where I live, because I live in a coastal region.
Yeah as an American, people need to understand an American heat wave is a horrendous thing... especially in Texas and the southern US... altho I'm currently in Belgrade Serbia and today was about 102 F (38.8 C)! Thank God for A/C, we need it. I hear that in Spain they don't turn on the A/C until it's over 100 F... dear Spain, you are INSANE... love, the rest of us 😂
Plastic straws and one-way plastic plates etc have been banned in the EU. So everyone used the paper ones that can be recycled or burnt or will at least break down if they end up in the envirnonment
10:57 Ryan in the Balkans(southeast europe), most of the people do not have AC and in the summer temperatures are like 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) for 40 days straight, sometimes with no rain. And people die, but those are old people with heart problems in 99% cases
What makes her the no.1 Blur fan? Did Blur have a song called Pick up the Beans or something? I don't get it. 75f is 23c, that's a hot day over here. Remember that our average temp is about 10-18c (50-65f) so when 23c comes along it's hot and we don't have AC
I've been to LA in July during a heat wave and drought in 2017. The beaches help you remember how fast you can run because if you don't, you'll cook all the skin off of your feet... or bring footwear, but I'd left mine in the car the first day. The temperatures were similar, maybe slightly hotter, than Mediterranean temperatures. Death Valley though, was in a class of its own. 55 celsius when I was there. Maybe heard the expression "it's a sauna in here"... nono, "it's a sauna out there" fits Death Valley better.
13:11 honestly i would class 24 degrees as a heatwave in the uk. anything above 20 and im roasting 😭. I googled 24 celcius heatwave uk and it came up w 'MET office forecasts 24 celcius scorcher'
What I am pissed off about, they never even ask whether I want a a straw or not. They always put it in the drink, and I throw it in the thrash immediately.
Many ways to raise your body temperature, zero to lower your body temperature. -25°C I can enjoy and still play hockey. But over 25°C it starts to go hard for me to be able enjoy it. After 30°C I want out unless it's Sauna.
30C ( which according to my ancient garden thermometer that still has a Fahrenheit scale is about 85 )is above my limit in the UK , anything more and it's head for the shade or the beach . In an entire summer you might get a week like that .
Dutch heatwave: 5 consecutive days over 25C/77F, at least 3 of those 5 days over 30C/86F. UK heatwave: 3 consecutive days over 25, 26 or 27 C, depending on the region of the UK.
I'd say the temperature has little to do with how hot it feels. 120F in dry heat is hot, but tolerable. 85F in humid heat is awful. Tho either can be deadly. Basically compare Cali to Florida.
I was about to die with a humid 33 C / 92 F inside our studio apartment the summer of 2021 here in Finland, I suffered several heat strokes. We had no AC and the sun was heating up the one foot thick wall all day and wouldn't cool off enough during the night. The temperature was even hotter outside in the sun. We had nowhere else to go and our pets were suffering too. It cost a pretty penny, but we got one of those cold air pumps where you put a tube out the window and the machine sucks in and cools down the air from outside before blowing it out into the apartment. We managed to get the temp down to 29 C / 85 F that way after a while, but it was still a pain in the ass living in a 100 year old apartment building that was built to withstand cold Finnish winters and warfare instead of global warming. Our electricity bill was through the roof because of that cold air pump, but we survived the summer
Nobody should complain about weather until they've experienced a 40 degrees Celsius /104 Fahrenheit 3 month heat waves with 98% humidity in Southeast Asia. The human body can't handle that. Many people died this year because of it.
Americans really couldn't care less about the environment.
Drive oversized trucks, demand ice with everything (and throw it away when they refill, think 24hr AC is non -negotiable,
Also, we scrapped plastic straws, and cutlery (I miss plastic straws).
Yes, as with most things it boils down to prioritising individual freedom above collective responsibility.
@@Phiyedough I genuinely wonder if the best thing that the USA could create to try and make it into a normal, civilised country is a constitutional Bill of Responsibilities to go with their Bill of Rights.
I don't think it even matters too much what would be on that list, just having one would hopefully change their national mindset and be a reminder that responsilities are the unavoidable counterpart to rights, and are just as important!
Well, ya think ?
Of course they don't the only thing they care about is money ,profits but that's only for the super rich everyone else lives in relative poverty in the US !
The US govt. only cares to catering for big tech., big corporates while leaving the rest of it's own citizens to rot in poverty.
Great system of government !
I think Europe ,besides the UK, is much better at least Europe takes care of their own workers and citizens !
The only reason , ONLY reason the USA exists as a nation right now is because of the young men who fought and died in WWII.
They were men of courage , honor , decency , selflessness back then they saved the US to still be able to exist right now.
This is not the case today.
But of course most young US citizens don't recognize or even care about that today !
Sad !

"You guys use paper straws? Even at fast food restaurants?"
When else do you use a straw?
In private I only saw straw used with soda cans during the summer outside (to prevent injury from wasps) and if you have lipstick on and want to prevent leaving it on the glass.
Outside of America burgers are defined by the round burger buns, not the filling. Sandwiches are fillings between two slices of bread.
Plastic straws are banned in most parts of the world.

Americans dont realize the reason why Europeans complain about everything beyond 25°C or 77 Freedom Units is because Europe having a far higher Humidity Level thus Heat hits you way harder than in dry areas like most of the US
When I am in Turkey I casually live in 35-42°C but here in Germany I literally die once it gets to 28°C.
Also it doesnt help that our Brick Homes become heating devices after 2 Days of only Sun if you live in a dense Area with many homes next to each other and the sun keeps heating the walls of the houses RIP to you once you go outside

Where I live in the UK there have been exactly 18 days in the last ten years when the temperature has gone above 25°C so I also complain when it is as high as that because it happens so rarely. I am just not used to it. The last time that happened was 19th July 2022

@ryanwuzer plastic straws are banned in Europe in an effort to reduce the environmental impact of plastics

We only use paper or reusable straws here. Plastic ones are banned to save the environment.
I don't drink thru straws.Period. I never use the cup holders in my car. I don't drink in a car. If I want to drink something, I stop, take a seat and order a drink, which will be served in a glass.

Only the US calls a chicken burger a chicken sandwich
then what do you call a sandwich? like with bread and everything?
Mc doof, kfc, burger king, they all call it chicken burger in there menus here in germany...
If it is based on a patty, it is a burger. A chicken sandwich is with real chicken.
@@sudazima The word sandwich isn't really used a lot where I live. I think it's mostly just when you use like toast?
The original sandwich was a slice of meat between two slices of bread. Eventually, the term became a verb and an adjective, covering a situation where one substance was placed in between two pieces of another substance. So as a chicken burger is chicken between two parts of a burger bun, it can be called a chicken sandwich. In British English, an edible sandwich is a more precise term, where the outer layers are two pieces of bread.
here in finland, we call the bun burger buns and anything that has burger buns, is a burger (beef,chicken,fish etc). we dont refer patties as burgers, here its mincemeat steak( if beef or pork).
Mediterranean countries are used to constant heatwaves in Summer, when the wind blows from the South, that's coming from the Sahara desert so it's no joke.
Yeps, wind from the Sahara is called scirocco
As someone from a Mediterranean country I can relate. With a bad heatwave in my country, temperatures can go up to 45 degrees Celsius so it’s practically hell ;-;
When I visit the Mediterranean in summer and go home to the Netherlands a Dutch summer is cold or comfortably warm. I really notice I didn't go anywhere this summer, as the 30°C we've had last week was really awful. Today temperatures are lower, about 21°C but it's so humid.
In a town called Marble Bar, Australia the WORLD record heatwave is 100F or over for 160 consecutive days. Even in MID WINTER, brief bursts of heat can result in the temperature rising as high as 35 °C (95 °F) for a few days.
Add to that the additional humidity because of, you know, the Mediterranean being there, and Americans just liquify
only Americans have no clue what a burger is and don't butter sandwiches, apparently.
I would just like to say Europe is made up of different countries who do not behave or think in the same way. Please don't lump us all together.
You would think the current ongoing war would give them a hint about this.
I've had Americans argue with me, saying the cultural differences between US states are greater than anywhere in Europe.
IN EUROPE THIOSE CARS ARE ANTISOCIAL ,TO BIG AND TOO MUCH FUEL !!

Plastic straws (as well as single use didsposable dishes made from plastic) are banned within the EU since 2021. There are many alternatives: Disposables made from paper, (real) straw, bamboo and other materials (including biodegradable polylactide), edibles from pasta or sweeties, washables from glass, bamboo, steel or silicone, ...
In Indonesia some places just used straight up hollow bamboo shoots.
I'm Dutch, and our house is actually air-conditioned from top to bottom. During the winter, the same system heats the house very energy efficiently. We are 80% less gas dependent now. (100% next year). Both cars are better for the environment as well. One is fully electric, and the other is a Toyota Mirai, which is a hydrogen car. Unfortunately, hydrogen is still a bit exotic even here in the Netherlands.
Plastic straws??? Are you kidding me 😮 America is still a third-world country except for its military. It's a matter of making the right choices. You can definitely have both. By the way, nothing is free. We pay our taxes, and we pay them for our common wealth, not our individual wealth and life.
Hoi, wat voor een huis verkoeling-verwarming systeem heb jij?
I have an easy solution to the ''hate paper straws''' issue, we keep a small pack of reusable metal straws on us when we go out purely for using when we buy drinks. Easily cleaned, they don't dissolve in the liquid and they won't destroy the oceans. Choice is there so make the right one and it isn't single use plastic.
American Football should be called American Hand-Egg, because there is neither a foot kicking nor a ball to kick. Balls are normally round, not egg-shaped. The american phrasing simply doesn't make any sense.
Both sports have the same ultimate origin though, so it's not like they adopted a name that didn't fit. They just kept it.
And they hold their own World Cup. 😂😂😂
I'd go with 'United Statesian Hand-Egg' as the rest of the Americas (barring Canada which is over-influenced by the US) seem to be on-board with association football.

In Sweden it is also called chicken burger
In the Netherlands it would also be a chicken burger.
Regarding the temperature thing, when are people going to understand that what feels like a nice, pleasant day in one part of the world can feel absolutely unbearable in another part of the world, it all depends on the climate and yearly average temperature where you are at.
Here in Finland, because we are so far north and the yearly average is quite low, it doesn't take that much before we think it's getting "too hot"... Some people will start complaining as soon as it get's above 70 fahrenheit. our bodies are not aclimated to higher temperatures... But in recent years with the rising temperatures in southern Europe, they have started vaccationing here in the summer to get away from the heat...
Yes, I saw that yesterday on the news, it's called a Cool-cation! I want one! It's the opposite of Snow Birds in Arizona.
@@LythaWausWand there's hundreds of millions of people in the world who would love a coolcation, but will never be allowed into the countries or won't have the money. In many places around the equator life is becoming physically unbearable. 40 degrees Celsius with 98% humidity. The human body can't handle it.
wdym chicken sandwich? It's between 2 burger buns which makes it a burger. How can something be a sandwich, when there's literally no sandwich bread involved?
Burger = two small round brioche buns and served hot
Sandwich (if not specified) = composed of real bread served cold (baguette, ciabatta, Tunnbröd...)
Miscellaneous = hot dog, croque-monsieur, kebab, wrap... (can be called sandwich but always with their full name like kebab sandwich)
The problem with "high" temperatures in the UK is the humidity - we're sitting on a relatively small island, with prevailing winds blowing in from an ocean. The heat index (humidity/temperature/wind) can be brutal. I can honestly say from experience that 100F in Arizona can feel positively refreshing compared with 25C/95% RH in England!
@@MrLunarlander it also makes things feel colder. About 15 years ago, I visited my MIL in rural Yorkshire in late August /early September. I got rained on, and ended up feeling colder at 15C than I had ever felt, despite the fact that I once queued to get into a club for over an hour when it was over -30C outside 😂

As a French guy, difference between a burger and a sandwich is easy: a burger is round, made of burger bread, a sandwich is long, made of baguette bread.

73F is NOT considered a heatwave in the UK... that's now considered a normal and pleasant day.
80F+ for 3+ days is considered a heatwave.

It is cute how so many people think the plastic straw is about something as shallow as polluting the enviroment. It certainly is about that, but what people seem to have missed is that micro plastic are destroying humans from the inside. So next time you look at the sun shining in to your window and you see the dust in the air. That is not dust, that is microplastic that you, me, your family, kids, animals breathing in to their bodies an then stop for a short while and think about how much plastic you have in your home, and that everytime you touch any plastic you release micro plastic from it. THAT is scary and that is what we should think about rather then DUDE IT IS MY RIGHT!

I'm Spanish and I call hamburguer too the "sandwich" she was eating.
We call sandwich the one made with the "English" sliced bread (pan de molde) and "bocadillo" the one with a baguette (barra de pan) kind of bread . If you use a kind of homemade loaf of bread (hogaza) we call it "tostada" or "tosta".
😅 We have different names of what you call sandwich depending of the bread used.
Since the hamburger was invented in Hamburg, a German city, I think we have the authority to say, that a burger bun with something in it, is a burger. Americans calling only the Burger patty a burger are wrong. Sorry!
Plastic straws are nicer, but not worth suffering turtles.
MacDonald's in Germany doesn't have any straws for sodas anymore, which sucks. What's wrong with paper straws?
Paper straws are also wasteful. Paper takes much water and energy to produce. I used to buy straws made of straw (plants). They certainly don't give you any paper taste. But my children don't use straws anymore, they grew out of it ;)
I prefer drinking without a straw anyway, so its a win-win for people like me 😅
I never used straws as an adult.
… and yet the first hamburgers were served on toasted sliced bread 🤔
The ‘Hamburg steak' which precedes the hamburger was brought over to the US by early German immigrants and is more akin to what Americans now call a Salisbury steak (a fake cutlet of the minced cheaper beef cuts, shaped to look like a solid cut of beef).
The bread addition comes later, from early diner & tavern menus and recipe book evidence it seems it became common practice to serve it on a trencher (a slice of bread to absorb the fat and jus released in the cooking process) and this evolved into the hamburger we know today.
@@bognagruba7653 well, MacDonald/fast-food is always wasteful. I don't see, why the straws make it that much worse. I usually eat and drink in the car or outside. Without a lid that's a mess and drinking from the soggy paper lid is disgusting. Plus when I was a kid a friend of mine died from swallowing a wasp that was in her soda. I don't like to drink from a can or something with a lid and hole ever since. Straws are safer in the summer when being outside.
How can that be a sandwich when there is a burger bun?
10:30 75 Fahrenheit is a heatwave in UK because the relative humidity is almost always 100%. You're welcome.
10:15 32° Celsius is an unusual high temperature for north-western Europe and qualifies as a 'heatwave'. people in the Mediterranean would kill for this assessment. however, due to climate change even the Scandinavians will have to get used to it while more and more regions in the world experience peak temperatures exceeding 50° Celsius every year. it's gonna get very scary.
A week ago it was actually hotter in Finland than in Barcelona.
In The Netherlands it is called a summer day when temperature reaches 25°C (77°F), a tropical day when it reaches 30°C (86°F) and an extreme hot day when it reaches 35°C (95°F). A heatwave needs three tropical days and 5 summer days in a row. We hardly ever have a heatwave. The last two weeks we had temperatures between 22 and 34°C, but no heatwave. I have an A/C in the bedroom, did use it one time for an hour before going to bed, because it was 24°C and very humid during the night. Normally I sleep with the windows open, so cool air can flow in the bedroom, but that sticky night I kept the windows closed. Americans always have the A/C set on arctic temperatures which is so bad, for your health, your wallet and the environment. When in Florida, I always use the A/C for only one hour before going to sleep, that’s all. But I always have to got back to the hotelroom during the day, because housekeeping always sets the A/C so low it gives you literally goosebumps from the cold. I hate that.
heatwave conditions are different between us and Europe because of the air humidity. In the US you have a higher temp but also a dry climate so you can sweat and the sweat can evaporate cooling you down. In the EU we generally have higher humidity so even when you sweat, your sweat does not evaporate you're just getting wet and overheated. For example in Poland temperature above 30'C ( 86'F ) during a day is considered a heatwave and when in the night id does not come below 20'C (68'F) then it's considered tropical heatwave. (overheating during the day and night)
Above 86 in UK is considered a heat wave not 75, and it has to be that for several days.
Finally an answer, I've been wondering for years why the sun in Scotland is more unbearable than the sun in africa
Yeah and in Finland the heat wave limit is 25C. The more north you go, the less we are accustomed to high temperatures.
@@1nikgalso Africa has many different climates. There's very humid tropical climates that are way worse than 30 degrees Celsius in the UK.
That's one sad looking chicken burger... Where is the lettuce?
in france heat wave is more than 30°c during the day and more than 23 °C during the night . no ac here but 3 feet thick stone wall . 20°c inside when it s 35 ° c outside
Yes.. We have 'Mini vans' assuming you're referring to MPV's like the Ford Tourneo connect or Ford C-max, VW Touran, Mercedes Vito or Mercedes B class and Fiat L500, not to mention brands you don't have in the US like Renault Espace or Renault Grand scenic, or Peugeot Partner or Citroën Berlingo plus many Japanese and Korean brands... you get the picture
In Germany we consider everything 90 and above a heat wave. 75 is perfect weather. If I lived in the US I would need to walk my dogs and would want to spend time outside. So even with AC 100 degrees would suck a lot. Not to talk about the people who work outside.
But 80 degrees is also exhausting if you can't cool down inside and can't sleep at night because of the heat.
IDK about the UK, but the Netherlands classify a heat wave as "at least 5 consecutive days with a maximum temperature of at least 25°C [77°F], of which at least 3 days had a maximum t empersture of 30°C [86°F] (which are also known as 'tropical days')"
So no, at least in The Netherlands, 75°F (24°C) is not a heatwave, but it is considered very warm if not hot.
A lot of places plastic straws are illegal now
Which is perfectly fine.
Very good policy. Plastic does not self-destruct, and always ends up at the bottom of the sea, and in the bellies of fish.
everyone can complain about heat, because there is different types of heat. in Germany over 30C/86F is considered a heat wave but it can feel very different depending on the humidity. a dry heat with over 32C is sometimes more bearable than a humid heat at 28C.
when i went to france is was 40 degrees c and i was perfectly fine, i came back to england i was dying because england is so much more humid and sticky
10:40 OK this was important for me 'cause I see other EU countries not using AC during summer, I was starting to feel irresponsible because using it. BUT. I live in North Italy, temperatures these days are 25 to 40°C (77-104°F) and will be like this for these 8 weeks of July-August; using it only from 12.00 to 20.00 (12AM to 8PM) and setting it at 28°C (83°F)
I hate paper straws, always throw that away and drink directly from the cup...😅 they're terrible.
Australian here..I set my AC to 23C (around 74F). Some have it colder but that's a good balance between coolness and being economical with power. And don't usually put it on until after midday. Same temp in winter but usually only put on after sun goes down.
In France, we just had a warning for a heat wave - temperatures reached between 35°C and 40°C - 85°F to 105°F. We are starting to look at installing AC to keep our homes under 27°C (80°F), knowing that most people will adjust heating to be between 15°C (60°F) and 25°C (77°F) depending on season.
Brits live way up north, they can't stand the heat. Well a couple decades ago they barely saw the Sun, so...
The problem with AC is when the difference in temperature is too great. When it is very hot outside you get sweaty and humid. If you then go inside a space with cold AC you get too cold and start shivering. In the USA I have to remember to bring a sweater to wear inside, or I get a terrible cold after a couple of days.
Man everyone watching short tic toks while taking a dump, and heres old school me still watching full YT videos 😅
About the plastic straws, I can't talk about the whole European continent but here in Northern Sweden we drink from the cup, so no straws needed.
At fastfood, we generally either use paper straws or no straws, and in 99.9% of other scenario's, no straws. And I agree, plastic straws drink better than paper straws, but what's even better is metal staws that you can put through the dishes (they are quite rare here but my dad has a few). Also here in the Netherlands it's also called a kipburger (which roughly translates to chicken burger)
IDK what is considered a heatwave in UK but here in Limburg we recently had two days of yellow temperature warning (which means you should take precautions when it comes to cooling yourself down and drink a lot of water) and that was like 30 degrees, with peaks up to 35 degrees, which is actually quite close to lower Texas temps in summer, so I can complain about the heat in my country because we have heat waves that hot (I went to a coastal park that day, that was quite nice)

Buy stainless steel straw. No need to plastic. There is no reason to polute the planet just because you can't drink like an adult without sucking from teet.
The straws in europe taste like toilet paper
@@nagodrelord9855 You are not supposed to eat them.
I'm from Spain and I put my AC at 27C (80F) when is over 40C (104F) outside.
You’re also broke.
I mean I was around the D.C. area some years ago and it was like 100 °F / 38 °C outside. We were obviously wearing shorts and a really lightweight T-shirt as you probably should in the summer. We entered the reception room of a motel and I kid you not, the guy there had his AC set to 60 °F / 15.5 °C. It literally kicked me in the face when I got in. The restaurants were largely the same, I gradually learnt to take a sweatshirt with me even though it was hot summer outside. I get it that those people usually stay inside the entire day but going inside and outside such rooms would kill me.
I live in Italy, we get weeks of over 35C and I don't have AC, we live with 32C inside the house
73 degrees F (24 degrees C) is not a heat wave... In Denmark it doesn't even qualify as Summer, let alone a heat wave!
🤣 Same here in Germany!
In Finland heat wave is 25C 😅
A 'heatwave' has a specific demarcation, three consecutive days of +5C above the 5 year average for the corresponding dates in that region.
Making it a comparative and not definitive measure of the weather conditions.
@@zapster252 Indeed.
@onerva0001
Wow, the heat wave is 25°c in Finland. Summer only begins when it is 25°c in Denmark, but okay, Finland is also higher up to the north than Denmark.
about half a second before ryan said "see how nice he is" i was thinking..ffs im not even there and that salesdude is anoing me to the point where i wouldnt care how good the chicken is im not comming back :P we really do have different definitions of nice :P
Australian here and we hit 40 multiple days last summer and I don't have AC in my house or car. That's 104 for the Americans.
In Sweden a heatwave is then it’s over 77 degrees Fahrenheit fore more then five days in a row.
Sure, Brits can't survive heat but people in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc. are doing fine, even without AC and it's fucking hot there. They just know how to build and how to behave to cope with a hot climate.
Minute 5:02 - Plastic straws are completely banned from Italy since months. They use hard paperstraws now
Someone should compensate for USA irresponsible pollution
The amount of pollutants from straws is negligible. It’s a ridiculous charade.
You’re broke and don’t know how to bathe properly. Absolutely disgusting.
Hi Ryan.
The major factor that has to be compared with truck size, is the size of our ancient streets -
in historic centres, city streets are often wide enough just for one-way traffic, if indeed you're allowed to drive along them anyway.
Many are "access only" for deliveries, while many others are being turned into pedestrian precincts.
In Europe I've seen the navette driver (local circular town bus) pull in his wing mirrors on both sides while squeezing down some ancient precinct.
These are just examples.
i set mine at 79 in france and tbh lower than that feel rly too cold for me (south of france ofc) some night temperature exceed 90 this summer
Agree, in more Nordic Europe countries starting from 86°F is classed as heat wave and it's really tough to function under such weather. As it seem hotter when humidity is high too.
In the small Norwegian village where I live, I talked to a guy from Philadelphia.😂 Asked if he was going back to the US now that his Norwegian wife has passed ...nope.😅
So if the ambulances are too expensive, why don’t independent private firms do it cheaper?
Yeah, EU banned plastic straws in favor of paper ones
For me a «hamburger» is minced meat (traditionally with persil and onion, also minced, salt and pepper), made in a ball, and then smashed flat and round. You cook it and you can eat it just as it is or more modernly, inside a round soft bread. In old times they were also called German steaks or Russian steaks. If left uncooked they are Tartar steaks.
I once looked up comparative sizes (by area) of EU member states and US states. I'm from Finland, which is the 5th largest EU member state by area (after France, Spain, Sweden and Germany) at 336,884 square kilometres or 130,072 square miles. In comparison, 4 US states (Alaska, Texas, California and Montana) are larger by area than Finland. Only Alaska and Texas are larger by area than any of the EU member states.
ETA: In Finland, I think 77 degree Fahrenheit (25 degrees C) is the threshold for a heat warning from our weather service. But then again, it can get humid AF in summer where I live, because I live in a coastal region.
Yeah as an American, people need to understand an American heat wave is a horrendous thing... especially in Texas and the southern US... altho I'm currently in Belgrade Serbia and today was about 102 F (38.8 C)! Thank God for A/C, we need it. I hear that in Spain they don't turn on the A/C until it's over 100 F... dear Spain, you are INSANE... love, the rest of us 😂
We finally reached 100.4F in the Southwest of Germany. No AC needed.
is scho kuschelig
@@bananenmusli2769 LOL hol mir mein Eiswurfeleimer fuer meinen Fussen, ich brauche kein AC!
10:21, no, we cannot handle 73°C. That's kill any human after prolonged exposure.
Plastic straws and one-way plastic plates etc have been banned in the EU. So everyone used the paper ones that can be recycled or burnt or will at least break down if they end up in the envirnonment
10:57 Ryan in the Balkans(southeast europe), most of the people do not have AC and in the summer temperatures are like 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) for 40 days straight, sometimes with no rain. And people die, but those are old people with heart problems in 99% cases
What makes her the no.1 Blur fan? Did Blur have a song called Pick up the Beans or something? I don't get it.
75f is 23c, that's a hot day over here. Remember that our average temp is about 10-18c (50-65f) so when 23c comes along it's hot and we don't have AC
I've been to LA in July during a heat wave and drought in 2017. The beaches help you remember how fast you can run because if you don't, you'll cook all the skin off of your feet... or bring footwear, but I'd left mine in the car the first day. The temperatures were similar, maybe slightly hotter, than Mediterranean temperatures. Death Valley though, was in a class of its own. 55 celsius when I was there. Maybe heard the expression "it's a sauna in here"... nono, "it's a sauna out there" fits Death Valley better.
4:50 the alternative is paper straws in plastic packaging .. and little fun fact ... paper straws can be reclycled harder than plastic straws ..
Crumbl Cookie girl, just effing order some. Jfc, they ship everywhere. Including the UK.
13:11 honestly i would class 24 degrees as a heatwave in the uk. anything above 20 and im roasting 😭. I googled 24 celcius heatwave uk and it came up w 'MET office forecasts 24 celcius scorcher'
In Germany, if it's 77°F at 10 am, the kids are sent home because they can't learn in that heat.
for me that's low lol, one time in romania it was 39°C at 9 am
What I am pissed off about, they never even ask whether I want a a straw or not. They always put it in the drink, and I throw it in the thrash immediately.
Yes, she is Australian.
Ryan needs to embarrass himself by guessing accents in his next video.
Many ways to raise your body temperature, zero to lower your body temperature. -25°C I can enjoy and still play hockey. But over 25°C it starts to go hard for me to be able enjoy it. After 30°C I want out unless it's Sauna.
Plastic straw are banned in europe à simple way to pollute less
Here in the UK, we get Lamb burgers, chicken burgers, pork burgers, beef burgers. Not to forget tuna burgers.
I'm a German in Germany, I have an AC, I'm living in an apartment in the roof of a house. Without ac I would die.
30C ( which according to my ancient garden thermometer that still has a Fahrenheit scale is about 85 )is above my limit in the UK , anything more and it's head for the shade or the beach . In an entire summer you might get a week like that .
Dutch heatwave: 5 consecutive days over 25C/77F, at least 3 of those 5 days over 30C/86F.
UK heatwave: 3 consecutive days over 25, 26 or 27 C, depending on the region of the UK.
He’s right. Even in Australia’s summer we set the air con to 21C (69.8F). I would set it at 23C in winter.
I'd say the temperature has little to do with how hot it feels. 120F in dry heat is hot, but tolerable. 85F in humid heat is awful. Tho either can be deadly. Basically compare Cali to Florida.
It's almost always 28-29 degrees C in my livingroom here in Canada. I don't turn on the A/C unless it goes above 30C.
Ryan! Plastic straws are so old fashioned 😂
I was about to die with a humid 33 C / 92 F inside our studio apartment the summer of 2021 here in Finland, I suffered several heat strokes. We had no AC and the sun was heating up the one foot thick wall all day and wouldn't cool off enough during the night. The temperature was even hotter outside in the sun. We had nowhere else to go and our pets were suffering too. It cost a pretty penny, but we got one of those cold air pumps where you put a tube out the window and the machine sucks in and cools down the air from outside before blowing it out into the apartment. We managed to get the temp down to 29 C / 85 F that way after a while, but it was still a pain in the ass living in a 100 year old apartment building that was built to withstand cold Finnish winters and warfare instead of global warming. Our electricity bill was through the roof because of that cold air pump, but we survived the summer
Nobody should complain about weather until they've experienced a 40 degrees Celsius /104 Fahrenheit 3 month heat waves with 98% humidity in Southeast Asia. The human body can't handle that. Many people died this year because of it.
