Both my bathrooms have hand held shower heads. She just needs to take a trip to Home Depot or Lowes. They are cheap and usually easy to install.
at a time it used to be expensive, but its still not cheap for everyone. also your more likely to see that in a good hotel than at home, i don't have that luxury at home.
I think I got one from Amazon for $12.
@@u140550 Yes they used to be expensive, but now they are $18 dollars at Walmart. Even cheaper online. Not free, but its still a very reasonable price.
@@CyberKeith well still most won’t do it, and also for my situation currently we can only bath or use another method to “shower” that isn’t what it is for most people.
@@u140550 I've never lived in or been to a house in the US that didn't have a hand-held shower head and I'm in my 50's.
She's SO WRONG or 1/2 informed on SO many things She's said..
Can you be more specific?
@@willsofer3679 For example many houses in the USA do have detachable showerheads. Many states do have a deposit system, California for example. Blue states tend to have less gun violence. America invented bank wire transfers and it is quite possible to pay your rent that way. Etc.
@@neutrino78x As I indicated in another reply to you, a lot of the things she's talking about are regionally specific, and to some extent, even specific to southern Ohio. Only ten states have a deposit system. I wouldn't exactly call 1/5th "many".
@@willsofer3679 maybe the video should be titled about Ohio instead of the USA
@@PomelloRBLX Or just Cincinnati.
Making a judgement about an entire country based on her experience in one city. Sounds fair 🙄
Many things she brings up are not facts. As others have said ,hand held shower heads are available in the US. It's 3,000 miles from East coast to west coast and thousands of cities in-between. Many places in the US have very low crime rate
Exactly, it seems like her experience here is extremely limited.
She never said they werent available, just that nobody she met/nowhere she stayed had one. She mentioned seeing them in stores
We also have fantastic cheese and front loading washing machines. 😊
Actually, they're anecdotal facts, just saying.
After 5 years she obviously does not understand the US. I live in lower mid-michigan, here's my take.
1) Fixed shower heads are less expensive and easier to maintain. I have a detachable and have had to replace the hose, not great for rentals or hotels.
2) Mozzarella cheese is available in many different textures including rubber, try a different store. The rubbery kind works great for a stringy cheesey pizza.
3) My phone comes with a texting app that works just fine. I don't live through texting so why waste memory on a separate app. It's a choice.
4) I might agree on the air conditioning comment, however, it is more comfortable sleeping in a cooler room.
5) A front-loading washing machine is more efficient but also more expensive to purchase and maintain, I own one. Btw Top loaders clean clothes just fine.
6) Gun violence and/or crime is all about where you live. At my previous house I didn't lock the doors and people regularly took walks at night. They would also say hello as they were passing me having a cocktail out front and enjoying the night air. It's a big country, you can find what you want.
7) Banking, well get used to it, cash apps work fine.
8) Climate-change, yes, climate crisis, maybe not so much. Man-made and to what degree, very debatable. If you earnestly study the subject you would know this. Many lies have been told, the models are consistently wrong and the predictions have not come to pass. Despite what you hear, there are many very intelligent people that refute the "science". If you've paid attention during our latest biological crisis, you'd understand that the experts or majority may not have your interests in mind. PS Many scientists are moving away from evolution because the more we learn, the less it makes sense. It's even kind of ridiculous. Step outside your bubble and know your subject if you're going to make comments about peoples ignorance. Maybe Independent thinking isn't allowed in Germany.
9) In Michigan we have bottle return and recycling, more or less depending on where you live. We have stores that supply bags and others that require you to bring one. Freedom of choice doesn't always result in the best solution for the environment.
10) I can easily feed my family for $10, that's way cheaper than fast food but, you have to learn how to cook.
11) I have 1 and 2 handle Faucet's. Two handle faucets are generally less expensive, more reliable an easier to maintain, great for any commercial application like a rental/apartment or hotel.
12) In Michigan you can buy beer at most stores and some gas stations. A liquor licence Insures any random fool isn't selling out of the back room. The state does charge a little much for the license though.
It's a very diverse and varied country with the freedom to make choices for your community, she should experience more of it. She kinda sounded a bit condescending, like we aren't up to Germany's level of sophistication. Cincinnati might not be the best representative of the average US neighborhood. I have seen her videos before, seems a bit snooty, not a huge fan.
So that's my rant, I had some time to kill.
Her problem is that she thinks that her experiences in one single city during a five year span are the same throughout the ENTIRE country when that couldn't be further from the truth.
That's true. But since she didn't see different cities or different states like Pennsylvania past five years cause she spent five years in one city and experienced what she knows in Cincinnati she doesn't know better. I could never fault her for her little experience happened.
I live in California, and you can definitely find high quality fresh mozzarella and good cheeses and bread here.
As a Wisconsin native, thank you Millie for defending our cheese.
I've never had Wisconsin cheese, but the way everyone talks about it makes me want some!😋
Thank you magic cheese person
American cheese was much better before they added soy to it. My childhood cheeses did NOT string when you bit into it and were so buttery tasting ❤😊
This Wisconsinite agrees. :)
Facts. Our custard is top tier too
In the old days, before drinks came in plastic bottles, supermarkets routinely used a deposit system for the glass bottles. Kids in the '50s and '60s often made their spending money by collecting bottles and returning them to the store.
Still do that with the local milk that comes in glass bottles around here
And in some states like Michigan they still have deposits on cans, not sure about the plastic bottles.
Yes Most states with deposits have them for both cans and plastic bottles.
I gather that some stores refund deposits as gift cards because California specifies that stores must refund in cash.
There are still many states that have empty soda returns for plastic, cans, and glass. In Michigan it's 10 cents a piece. Most stores now have the automatic machines that count them and give you your money. Back in my day the employees would count them out by hand.
Yes we sure did! There was a time I went to my mother and said I wanted a pair of Go-Go boot’s (remember them lol) she said to me “ well you can always get out there with the Radio flyer wagon and collect bottles and return them back in and get money back on them That way you can buy your boots yourself” . Those were the good old days indeed!! Parents teaching kids that when they go out and work what they can do good with the money they earn! 🥰✌️👍
So is she trying to say that Germany doesn't have bad neighborhoods??? Give me a break.....
If you want to feel safe walking around at night maybe you shouldn't live in Cincinnati ....omg this chick!!!
She’s a whiny one
You really need to actually listen to the video. She’s not whining at all.
@@jimmers123 she does have a lot of videos that are critical of us and not kidding about it. But she's hot so I tolerate. lol.
@@neutrino78x she’s really not that critical at all, she’s comparing.
Based on her experiences with showerheads, separate hot/cold taps, top load washers, and general safety, it is clear that she has only ever lived in cheap rental apartments in sketchy parts of town.
EXACTLY what I was thinking
100% she is paying bargain rates and it shows.
I laughed when I read this, but it’s true
This girl is crazy, I live in the hot ass Louisiana heat. I ALWAYS have my central air on, always. I have two units and they stay on almost 24/7. Louisiana can easily reach 100 degrees in the summertime, you would get a heat stroke without air conditioning.
@@liber7773 well, that’s why no one wants to live in Louisiana.
The faucet she uses is always due to not owning her own home, a landlord will buy the cheapest faucet for a tenant. The mixed taps always cost more at Home Depot.
Shes lived in Cincinnati for 5 years and has clearly never left. 😂 You are right Millie, I feel like shes painting the US with a broad brush, based solely off her experiences having lived in one place.
Wow. I live in Mississippi (which is often listed as the WORST state in many categories), but we have hand held showers, it’s easy to find great produce, dairy, bread, etc for very reasonable prices (your neighbors will GIVE you more vegetables and eggs than you can eat), and we can easily pay bills and transfer money. At our house we mostly use real plates and silverware and I tend to take reusable bags shopping because they’re sturdier. But, my neighbors are free to eat mostly carry out, use plastic bags, paper plates, etc. That’s called choice. As for not believing in “facts” - we tend to believe everyone has a right to their own opinion and it’s very American to question things and maybe educate yourself instead of just following others. As for the safety thing, we are an “open carry” state and I feel pretty safe almost everywhere. We’ve never had a problem having a drink at the beach, river, on a picnic, etc. Of course, we don’t walk around with it. You simply take it in a cooler, and only get it out once you’re settled. Recycling is recycling. Doesn’t matter how. Maybe give us kudos for not having to be paid to do it. This is the first time I’ve ever disagreed with almost everything said on one of these videos.
Best comment on here
The bread and cheese thing is largely due to her being from Bavaria, Germany. The quality of German bread is considered some of the best in the world, and it's widely available. Artisanal breads are everywhere. They don't really do processed bread like we do here. Bavaria is also one of the cheese making capitals of the world, though they also have ready access to French and Italian cheese as well. In other words, it's just her being spoiled on the really good stuff. It is possible to find stuff that good here, but you have to go out of your way to get it. It's available on nearly every corner in Munich.
@@willsofer3679 also some traditional European cheeses cant be made or sold in the us because they use unpasteurized milk
@@willsofer3679
"he quality of German bread is considered some of the best in the world"
So is the bread in San Francisco. San Francisco sourdough is great. Next time you're here check out Boudin Bakery, they've been there since the 1800s and it's great sourdough. Just like any other country, you can get generic bread or you can artisan bread.
"Bavaria is also one of the cheese making capitals of the world"
So are Napa Valley, California, the city of Monterey, California (where "Monterey Jack" was invented by Franciscan Monks in the 1800s) and pretty much the whole state of Wisconsin in the USA.
" It is possible to find stuff that good here, but you have to go out of your way to get it."
Going down the street to a bakery is going out of your way? Ok.
@@neutrino78x By "here", I mean Ohio. I live in the same area as her. Like me, she has to go thirty minutes away to get high quality domestic and imported products. I was saying that this is not the case in nearly any country in western or central Europe. I'm well aware this doesn't hold true for every area in the United States, or even the Midwest. And for the record, I love San Francisco sourdough. It's not anywhere local to me.
Here in the US, commercial bread isn't curtsy, at all. You need to go to a local bakery for that type of bread. The same is true for cheese, there are usually local artisan shops with fresh buffalo mozzarella that is to die for.
We were built to be a fast paced society. If you want anything done right, you can find anything you need and I live in Wisconsin. It's not that difficult to take the time to be as tact
She rents cheap but wonders why her apartment is cheap, she clearly goes to cheap grocery stores so her cheese is shit too. 😂 Cincinnati has so many great bakeries and cheese / wine selections. She’s just too cheap to go to them.
Even the in-supermarket bakeries make fresh bread with plenty of crust and are pretty good. Idk who is showing her around her area and where to find things and how to shop, but they're definitely failing pretty hard.
Or go to Whole Foods or Central Market (HEB) for those breads and cheeses. What are the best cheese and breads that Germany is known for?
I actually hate crust on my bread. 😂
Sorry. But considering she is from Germany, I find it quite ludicrous that she seriously doesn't think that government leaders don't lie to us little people.
As far as laundry goes, top loading washers are generally considered the average in my experience. Newer washers tend to be front loaders. It's mostly about water usage. Newer front loaders are more "green" they use less water. A lot of people prefer top loaders even though they use more water because they feel more water can do more clothes in one load and dilute the detergent better. It doesn't help that U.S. detergent bottle measuring caps are very excessive compared to the rest of the world, and they encourage overuse of detergent to increase sales.
Both fixed and handheld shower heads are pretty common. In fact the shower in my master bathroom has both a fixed showerhead and a handheld in it. Here's to multpile head showers! Also the Android and iOS default messenger apps both work with wifi. There really is no reason to have a second messaging app.
There are 11,000 breweries in the USA. If you are drinking a beer you don't like, then that's your own fault.
Top loading machines don't leak all over the floor when the door seal goes bad. And they cost a lot less.
I have plenty of German friends that are mistrustful of science when it's sponsored by politics. And questioning science isn't denying it, it's actually science itself.
Every US bank as online banking where you can direct pay your bills. I have no idea what she's talking about since it very clearly exists.
Seriously lol
being using online banking for teh last 15 years. direct paying ur mortgage, phone bill or ultility bill with ur bank acct is easier but when paying a total stranger 3rd party, it best to put that middle man between them and ur bank acct info. that where paypal and cashapp come in.
Let alone the fact that most companies require direct deposit of your paycheck.
@@yia01 yeah dude . Learn about a country before you move . That's human nature
I also don’t know anyone who still writes checks. Even my elderly mom doesn’t.
Millie I love how you defend America. Thank you
I agree that Woman always has something bad to say about America great job Millie
I don't see any reason why the best country in the world needs 'defending' from statements vomited by an immigrant.
@@annfrost3323………..
@@williamlanning3193 I don't think she's saying anything "bad" about the United States. She makes it clear that she's just stating her own observations and preferences, and that it is isn't based on anything but her own personal experiences (while also acknowledging there are regional differences). If you watch her videos, she actually goes way out of her way to be nice and polite, about nearly everything. A lot of these comments I'm seeing make a lot of [blatantly incorrect] assumptions about Felicia based on stereotypes, veering sometimes into xenophobic anti-immigrant territory, and/or take issue with any video that always doesn't talk fawningly about how star-spangled awesome America is.
@@williamlanning3193 Well, there's one way to get away from the things she doesn't like...isn't there.
I’ve watched a ton of your videos, so I know you guys understand the size of our country. Cincinnati is not “near” Wisconsin. It’s about a 7 hour drive away and you’d have to drive through 2 other states to get there. The two places may look right next to each other on a map, but they really aren’t.
To be fair, it takes five hours to go from one end of Ohio to the other. So keeping that in mind, it's (semi-subjectively) not that far.
@@willsofer3679 In Cincinnati you can be in Kentucky or Indiana in about 20 minutes...lol
"Near" is a very relative term, even In the US. It can take 4 hours just to get to the other side of a metropolitan area like LA, Chicago or Philly.
@@philmccabe9547 Yes? But driving from Cincinnati to Cleveland, or to Athens, is another thing entirely.
Yes, it's at least 400 miles from Cincinnati to Wisconsin
I live in America and have a hand held shower fixture. In America we do sell shower heads to switch out shower heads so we do have hand held ones you can swap out
The US used to do returns on coke or Pepsi glass bottles but it got to be a pain in the butt having bottles around the house until u could return them. That was 35+ years ago. Top load washers will always be my choice. If u find a stray sock or shirt and u want to add it to the load already in the washer, u can. With front loaders, u obviously cant.
I've had two front loaders over the years (different brands) and both had a pause feature that will stop and unlock the door after a few seconds. Put in the item and then hit start. It doesn't restart, but starts from the point you stopped it.
America definitely have hand held showers in numerous homes even mine
Restaurants are known for keeping the temperature very cold for a couple of reasons. The people serving are moving around a lot and generate their own heat, and cold patrons leave earlier making way for more patrons!
Just having a full restaurant can make the temperature warmer.
James, the money you get back for returning a bottle or can is the amount you were overcharged in the first place. You just seemed a little to excited by that news. 😂
I’ve heard of WhatsApp but it true that it’s relatively unheard of in the US. However we do not pay for text messaging. Whether it’s through SMS or Facebook messenger. Either way it’s free
You can indeed do bank to bank transfers. And if you want to send money to a person that banks with the same institution as you, you can very easily transfer money to them. And as far as bills go, you just pay your bills online or over the phone with either a credit card or bank debit card. She makes it sound so terrifyingly difficult
Well, because it's still more complicated than in Germany. When you're used to the way it's done in Germany, the American way is difficult lol
How has she lived in the US for as long as she had and not understand how anything works? It's really weird.
That is because she is 20 or so years old and she thinks that she is smart but isn't smart enough to know that at her age she is stupid.
She says it several times in the video. Five years, at that point. In what way did she not understand "how anything works"? I'm curious.
@@willsofer3679 She literally begins with asking how people clean their showers.
@@controlZchannel And I think that's a bit tongue-in-cheek. Or did you really not think she's ever cleaned a shower in the United States? She's facetiously saying that it's easier to do so with an hand-held one, so Americans are unnecessarily making it harder on themselves. I get being sardonic isn't for everyone, but I thought it was pretty obvious she was half-joking.
@@willsofer3679 Will, I can see you're one of those people who thinks life is better in Europe. I take it you're from a red state? Because blue states are quite similar to Europe, especially the cities.
Not many people I know have fixed shower heads. She needed to get around a bit more😂😂
I think Europe moved to WhatsApp fast because their texting fees were a lot higher. (back when you paid per text and had low character limits). Texting was cheaper in the States, so moving to internet based messaging wasn't a necessity. That's my guess at the reason.
Also it sounds like she's in the wrong part of the country. If she wants to be somewhere more like Germany, there is definitely a state she'd like more than where she is. The US is huge, with many different regions. And while we are are way more similar to each other than other countries, there are 100% distinct regions with different cultures.
Apple is not so a big thing in Germany Europe
@@arnodobler1096 What does that have to do with his comment?
@@timothyreel716 Because other companies use different operating systems and software
I've left a comment on her channel that some states do have a deposit system on bottles, and cans, and it is called a bottle bill. It works the same way, and is in MI,MA,CT,VT,ME, and CA. It ranges from 5-10 cents per bottle, or can.
If she thought it was bad, the U.S. has experienced significant increases in food prices since the pandemic. I feel like 2019 was the pinnacle of affordability in my experience. I'm 26. I never had to worry about grocery costs as much as I do now. I'm talking like 10-20% difference in the bill from then.
I think she couldn't afford us and went back to Germany at the beginning of 2022
She was off on soooo many things. She is compairing a country of over 300 million with all different cultures to one that is smaller in population and mostly still German. She needs to get away from Cincinnati, I have been there several times and still pass through at least twice a year. And you two were right on about there are different people in all countries and she is compairing all of the US to one or two spots. She can come to my house and find hand held showers, single taps on the Kitchen sink and doubles in the bath sinks. I can take her to get really good yogurt ( but tast is different for all people ) and James was right, some of the mozzarella from Wisconsin and a few others is some really good cheese. She needes to stop buying that string cheese. 😉
It's not so much Cincinnati, as the area of Cincinnati she's in. The metro area is completely different than the inner city. Likewise, even in Cincy proper, she's not in an affluent or highly developed area. Half of Clifton, the Cincinnati neighborhood she's in, is essentially just housing for university status. So they skimp on the better stuff.
I think she needs to get a new bank if she can’t pay via transfer.directly from the bank. All of my bills are paid by automatic transfer from my bank account. The only time I may use a third party is if I’m sending money to a family member or friend.
I do direct debit from my bank to service providers, not sure what she is talking about. Alittle exaggeration
Yes it's easy to allow vendors cable gas electric Etc to PULL money from our accounts, but I think Feli is talking about is the ability to PUSH money from our account to someone at a different bank.
She probably used Fifth Third Bank since she's in Cincinnati. They have it now. I don't believe they did when she made this video, though.
I think that's what she was referring to, transferring from person to person, not bill pay.
@@conradkalb4464 That’s an EFT (electronic funds transfer) I did one using the small, private, credit union at the company I worked for in 2008. I sent money to a woman in Texas for a horse she was selling. As for direct deposits and automatic drafts, most banks in the USA have been doing them since the 80s. But then she could be just talking about using online banking through her phone. 🤔
She should change the A/C filter. She might not get sick. Hospitals keep the temp down in the 60's germs, don't like the cold.
Exactly 😂
This!
She stated that she hasn't gotten sick in years, and that it was just when she first came here. People that have never had AC before in their lives react really strangely to it. I don't really get it.
Or she just got sick because she was living in a new environment being exposed to different germs. The only way I could understand an A/C causing any sort of sickness is by not changing the filter or by it dropping the humidity to the point that you are drying out your nose and sinuses. I don’t think it has anything to do with it being cooler inside than outside.
We used to do the deposit system when glass bottles were in vending machines. The thing is, you paid the deposit when you bought the drink, and got it back when you returned the bottle, so unfortunately, it wasn't actually a moneymaker unless you collected bottles for return, which kids were more likely to do the further back in time you go, like 1930-1960.
The bottle return thing is very common in America, depending on the state. Some states just don't really do recycling. I'm from Oregon and when I went to Montana some of the locals I asked were kinda confused when I asked them where I could recycle bottles and cans and they all told me that wasn't really a thing there.
It's actually not common at all. Only ten states have recycling deposit systems, and they're nearly all on the West Coast, or New England. 10% is not "very common".
@@willsofer3679 suppose I could've said pretty common instead but that's still a solid chunk. I mean if I heard there was a 10% chance I'd win the lottery I'd definitely get a ticket and if I heard my plane had a 10% chance of crashing I'd rather walk. It is a shame more places don't have it though. Also a shame they use machines instead of having kids sort the bottles, used to be a great first job.
@@josefstalin9678 Agreed. I'd prefer it to be more common here. I've thought about turning in my recycling for cash, but the closest place in southern Ohio that does it is over a half an hour away. Doesn't really seem worth it.
As a fellow Cincinnatian, I feel the need for a Rebuttal…lol
I live in Cincinnati and while a fixed showerhead is seen in hotels and older homes as a default option, most people that would want a hose showerhead have them as they are an easy refit and our hardware stores have plenty in stock as that is what most people buy. Even if she is renting in an older part of Cincinnati, she can go down to Home Depot and get a 40.00 refit kit and have it put on in 5 min…
As for group messaging I would say most Americans use Facebook message app but also regular text as most message and data plans are unlimited here on Cell phones also you have generation choices as well. As for the iPhone, just in 2022 got over a 50% market share so we have been mostly Android here in the US until just recently.
Glass bottle deposits went away in the USA in the 1980s, now “some” people recycle or even collect Aluminum cans for money at a metal recycling company for cash. Funny note, the highest spot in the Cincinnati area is actually a landfill now called Mount Rumpke.
As for the food, is she shopping only at Walmart?.... lol I can get fresh mozzarella in about 5 min if I walk out my door… and there are a large number of places to get fresh bread. Variety is always and option here, guess she has never been to the local Jungle Jim’s locations here in Cincinnati where there are thousands of square feet of foods from all over the world..
As for AC we love it… Southern Ohio gets very humid and hot… AC is a must. She also showed an older top loader washer, most do not have the middle post anymore, that said Home Depot and Lowes sell plenty of front loader washing machines too.
As for safety, yeah if you’re in the inner city there are parts of town you need to be careful in at night, overall, the Cincinnati Metro area is really safe and most violent crime is drug related. Cincinnati has a Metro population of about 2.2 million people, as for the inner city this was their stat from 2022. Seventy-eight people were murdered in Cincinnati last year, down from 94 each in 2020 and 2021. Eighty-two percent of victims last year were Black men, and most victims were between age 20 and 49. Keep in mind the crime statistics for Cincinnati are based on the “City” population of 300,000 people, not the surrounding 2.2 million where crime is much rarer. Also 40% of the population lives in Kentucky and that isn’t even included on any of these crime stats. Based on her experiences she must live in the inner city somewhere, definitely not out in the suburbs.
As for facts, well there are a lot of stupid people out there everywhere, that is not a US thing for sure.
As for food, Kroger’s literally has Blueberries and Raspberries, 2 pints for $3.00 as I type, and strawberries are almost always on sale.
Faucets are a mix depending on what people like. There is a mix in my house.
I know Germans love alcohol, one day at work we had a bunch of German colleagues in from out of the country and they brought in cases of beer to work here and were drinking at work… and us Americans were all like wtf?...lol That said Cincinnati was settled by a lot of German immigrants in the past so we have a lot of Breweries here.
That said there are many new “entertainment districts” now in the Cincinnati are where you can carry a drink with you.
Cincinnati is an awesome town, which is why she might still be here after 5 years. But like all places we have our issues too.
In New England some of the regional farms use glass bottles and we get a refund if we return them to the grocery store. Don't know how common that is.
@@ruthsaunders9507 Yes, you will run into that on a rare exception, but when I was a kid, every soda bottle was worth money. You could walk along the side of the road and find a few bottles people threw out on the side of the road and trade them in for some candy money in the 70's. :)
Yeah represent! 😂
Here in Washington State we don't have AC as a standard but in Nevada I do get sinus infection due to the refrigerant.
@@philmccabe9547 That’s because bottlers (soft drink companies) no longer wash and refill glass bottles like they once did. What they use today is recycled, ground down, sanitized and remade into new bottles and cans. We have one local dairy that uses and recycles the old fashioned style glass milk bottles.
She's in Cincinnati- says it all 😂
We have a front loading washer and dryer that are on pedestals that have a drawer in them to store things. The pedestals lift the washer and dryer higher up so you don't have to bed so far over.
It's funny about the differences lol because reg texting isn't dead in America it's next to calling the normal and most popular method of communicating it the US ...you can send pics and attachments it's easy and just right there as an option on your phone. Plus unlimited talk and txt these days is standard with your cell phone plan. 😊
High efficiency washers are the way to go. Honestly small agitator and you get much more out of it with less water.
She doesn't get out much in those five years if she's never seen a handheld shower head in the USA. There are about 125 million households in the USA, most with multiple showers and she thinks we don't have that type of convenience.
i liked how she said we must believe in science then said science can change on a dime or depending on how the wind blows . lmao .
She apparently also believes that cold air makes you sick?
Not defending her but of course science changes. Science is what we know to be true and what we know changes as you learn new things. This is why things like tuberculosis and polio and even the bubonic plague aren't killing millions of people, we learned how to beat them. Its definitely good to question science and investigate for yourself because often times you have people like cigarette companies in the 50s saying that smoking is perfectly healthy but that doesn't mean you should just assume that every scientist is lying or out to get you.
@@josefstalin9678 Thank you. People like the OP who don't understand how the scientific method works, or the concept of empirical data really grate on me, sometimes. Adding the "lmao" at the end, like he figured something out really clever, and "showed her up", is the icing on the cake. Hobb Green just doesn't understand how science works. It's not static. There are no "truths". Just what can be backed up by data, and can't be falsified.

@@Good_Hot_Chocolate her rant about hand held shower heads just to acknowledge that they could be purchased and installed also she lives in one of the most dangerous citys in america and is fearful.
If she's mentioned #1 to her boyfriend, he's at least told her that yes we have handheld sprayers. If he's smart, he bought her one as a gift.
Besides that most modern homes have at least one bathroom with a removable hand held shower, if not all of them. It's pretty standard nowadays, at least where I'm at in S.W. Florida. I'm pretty sure they're in most places from what I see on so many videos.

You don't get sick from A/C, you do NOT get colds from the cold. Old wives tale
You get sick when your body is not accustomed to hot or cold weather. It affects your immune system and your blood. You also get sick more from having bad duct work in a home because of the recycled air being contaminated.
Also in the winter our windows are closed and germs fester.
@Jwb52z the only thing you catch from cold weather is frostbite and hypothermia. To catch a cold, flu whatever the virus has to present it doesn't miraculously show up when it gets cold.
@Pamela Robinson I would love to see you open your windows in the spring where I live. Everything will be covered in pollen in a couple hours.
See, you all just said it. It's not the cold that gives you a cold. It's germs or viruses.
Both my bathrooms have hand held shower heads too....cheap and easy to install. I can see hotels and rental properties not having them.
Handheld shower heads don't come standard because they are more expensive. Handhelds can be easily purchased and easily installed to replace the originals. I have 3 in my house that I installed myself, easy peasy.
We have both kinds of taps in the US. When the bathroom is designed, the designer just chooses what they think matches the aesthetic most. And if you're buying one yourself, you pick whatever you want of course.
Her biggest problem? She lives in Cincinnati! Just sayin'
Hey! Cincinnati has some awesome areas. The arts and culture scene here is actually just as good as the major cities, like Chicago. But yes, there are some really bad parts of Cincinnati. It's improving though, overall. I used to go to school in Over-the-Rhine, which was considered the most unsafe part of Cincinnati; you wanted to be out of there by nightfall. It's now considered one of the safest, most happening places in Cincinnati. Especially the nightlife. She lived in Clifton, which is an area where there are actually some really nice neighborhoods, as well as some really bad neighborhoods, almost right next to each other. That's sort of her issue. She lived in the nicer areas closer to the university, but they're also right next to the ghetto.
Lmfao Cincinnati is nothing like Chicago
@@AlejoJuares I didn't say we were "like" Chicago, n any way, or anything remotely like that. Re-read. I was referring specifically to the "arts and culture scene". I said we had good museums, symphonies, ballet companies, academic institutions, etc. Things of educational and cultural value, that are sometimes on par with those found n Chicago.. It's quite literally one of the few things Cincinnati has going for it.

We have a house that was built 2 years ago and it has the fixed showerhead in both bathrooms. We recently added a handheld one to the guest bath. Our bathrooms have the 2 handles to adjust the temp, but the kitchen has the single handle.
You can buy them and add them to a stationary shower head. It's a simple solution if it bothers her that much.

I don't know if this video is pre-covid or not, but since the covid lock downs, almost every restraunt in downtown (at least in my city) has curbside dining due to socal distancing. My city actually gave grants to local restaurants so they can build large gazebos on the street parking spaces in front of the business.
In CT, we have the can system. We bring plastic bottles and cans too, well for me a stop and shop (idk where anyplace else would have it. Stop and the shop is just closer) and just place it in. It scans a barcode on the bottle/can and we get a receipt after depositing all the bottles/cans and bringing it to a cashier and they give us the amount that's on the receipt. In ct and some other states, it's 5 cents, in some states it's 10 cents.

"he did say that some state do it, just not very many of them."
I think what we're taking exception to is the idea that Americans don't know what recycling is, we don't recycle, somehow the Europeans are enlightened in that regard, etc.
All 50 states have some kind of recycling program, ok. Blue and red. Even in the ones that have the tax per bottle, most people don't take it to a machine to do it one by one...most will just put the bottles in the recycle box.
I used to work for Goodwill and one of the things I did was take recycling, and stupidly (from the worker's perspective) it wasn't weighed, it was counted. If someone drove up with a truckload, I literally had to count each bottle. (most companies accomplish this by using a machine....but Goodwill was doing the recycling so they could donation stations at those locations...and they're a charity so they can't afford to buy the bottle counting machines.) I'm so glad I don't work there anymore....but my point is, a very small percentage of people in the suburb came to my trailer to have bottles counted. I would get maybe 10 people a day for that. The vast majority were leaving their bottles in containers to be picked up by the city. Which, there's nothing wrong with that, it's still getting recycled.
A European can't say "oh you guys are terrible for collecting the recycling in a truck instead of taxing the bottles and redeeming it bottle by bottle" huh? It's way faster to just collect it in bulk.
Plus -- and this applies to both Europe and the USA -- for the first several decades, a lot of recycling was sold to China, and China was NOT recycling it. They were just dumping it in their landfill. And it's China and India who dump most of the plastic that ends up in the Pacific Garbage Patch. I would link an article but we can't do that in TH-cam comments anymore. But they did a study and most of the plastic there came from certain rivers, all of which are in either China or India.
Now that China is no longer accepting our "recycling", all the G7 are trying to figure out how to get that stuff actually recycled, here on our own soil. Pepsi, Coke etc. have been helping out in that regard. They would have to participate, it can't be done without their help (since they are the companies that would buy the recycled plastic anyway).
But it's definitely offensive when Europeans make these videos saying we're stupid. Recycling is just one example. They love to make videos about "oh you guys are so stupid for not using HSR"....uh.....low population density? Far distance between population centers? Hello? It's a little different. And they don't dump on Canada or Australia, who also don't use HSR, for the same reasons (low population density, high distance between population centers).
That's what is good about the Beesleys, their videos are a positive voice! A lot of us, even the moderate liberals like myself, are glad to hear people talking about our country and not speaking ill of it for once. 🙂
We have 50 states. Pick another one.
IDK where she stays lol. But normally most houses anymore have showers that are like walking into a carwash. You have a fixed head, plus the detachable head for shaving legs or perhaps children. But also, there are several different jet like heads that shoot out at you. Perhaps she needs to make a visit to one of the home improvement stores, and buy an adapter to add the detachable head. Inexpensive and something she could easily do by herself.
I don't think this is actually true, though. Fixed heads were standard in the US for a long time (they still are in most new-builds). I don't personally know anybody with a hand held shower hose. Maybe it's different in high-class households, but I know plenty of people in California/Arizona that have fixed heads.
The places in the USA she has lived in were probably built before the hand held shower heads that easily replace the screw on head shown were invented. Most people have replaced the standard heads with the movable ones, or like me, added a movable one and kept the original for dual action. Newer houses now many times have shower heads in the ceiling and others built into both walls for a full body spa affect and don't include a tub. Hotel/motels didn't change over because of unnecessary expense.
Everyone I know has hand held pulsating shower heads. Very common here in the U.S. what she talking about Willis.
The standard here in us is free messaging and call
Different states have deposit systems. Michigan (where I live) has the highest deposit of 10¢ per can.
In CT it's only 5 per can😂
One of my neighbors collects aluminum cans, he, he sold enough one year to but a new truck
The showers!?!? We must have 100 different types of showers in USA! shower heads, fixed and hand held, shower heads above on ceiling, shower heads on side along with in front, 100 different types of shower stalls. 🤣 Can’t believe she is an expert on American showers and bathtubs😆
Americans can be opinionated, and think for themselves. We don't necessarily believe everything we are told by the media or government. I actually kind of like that. There is nothing wrong with questioning things, and " thinking for yourself". Even doctors and government has been proven to be wrong on occasion. We can be independent thinkers, and I think that can be a good thing.
Wait! What? Your mean the government can be wrong? C'mon! You must be joking.
For states that have a deposit, you pay it when you buy the can/bottle. So you're just getting your money back when you return it.
That's how it works in Germany too.
@gotham61 Right, perhaps how they said it, but sounded like the Beasley's didn't grasp that you're getting your deposit back.
@@paulboniol796 But if someone is too lazy to return it for the refund, someone else can “make money” by picking up the can and returning it themselves.
This part of the systems works remarkably well, in places where there is a deposit system you almost never see bottles or cans littering the streets.
Hand-held showerheads are very common in the USA. Maybe she just lived in old housing or had bad luck.
Apps are your generations nit-pick. Not mine.
Recycling is a psychological program. Only 10% of plastics are actually recycled because of the cost. Metal, paper and glass are 100% recycled.
Go to a real bakery, not a grocery store. Want real cheese, go to an ethnic store. Supermarkets are not specialty stores; they generalize and have many products at reasonable prices.
Ran out of interest in what she is saying.
She has gone to real bakeries and whatnot. She has a few videos on this. She's from one of the areas of Europe that is widely regarded as having some of the best bread and cheese in the world, and it's widely available on nearly every street corner. While there are some decent places to buy quality products like that here, they're few and far between. It's not like over there. That's more an issue with being from Bavaria, as I said. She'd have the same complaints if she lived in Cardiff, or Buenos Aires.
What I'm getting is that she can't get used to 13 things she doesn't understand or is selectively ignorant about the USA because it's not Germany. I started typing out a common sense rebuttal to each point she makes then I realize no one probably cares. We can all agree she's just ignorant about everything she complains about. It's like she looked up a list of obscure stereotypes and made a list out of it.
No, she is being genuine and, yes, possibly a little ignorant. But, some things that suck about the U.S. she was spot on about like people not listening to facts and there being gun violence and crime where she lives. Just a word of advice - you can be patriotic *and* criticize your country at the same time. It is all about making a better society here, after all.
@@fuzzhead76 I agree that one can be ignorant and genuine. Text lacks tone, so to clarify let me say I wasn't patriotic ranting just expressing my opinion that she is making content based off expected stereotypes or just willful ignorance. I base that on conversations with my international friends. She is not speaking to her experience, she's declaring things like "most places showers are like this" then proceeds to redress all of America and tell them why they're not doing it right. The many replies here have indicated that her number 1 complaint that has grieved her for 5 years is easily solved in 5 minutes at the local hardware store. That is what I mean by willful ignorance. To me that makes it not a genuine complaint, just a weak attempt to create content. She's not just conveying what she doesn't like, she's taking it further to berate an opposing opinion that she assigns to Americans rather than just explaining her own preference. I believe Americans are quite frequently called out (rightfully so) for doing this same kind of thing when they visit other countries. I get it's supposed to be light and fun, but it comes off as arrogance. I'm not speaking of all her videos, just this one was a bad in my opinion.
To add to this, I've even given her the benefit of the doubt and checked the article she linked about A/Cs and the podcast. The first paragraph of that article straight up says "Air conditioners do not cause sickness, but they can interact with our environment in ways that make us sick." So again, she makes a broad statement that is false with a hint of truth and running with it as if it is total fact. The article she chose is from a commercial HVAC company that is also providing the maintenance services that prevent said health issues. In the podcast she just goes with anecdotal evidence being scientific proof, so I have even less regard to her talking about science deniers when she's is sort of in the same boat to an extent. Again, not saying she's totally wrong, just that she may be the wrong person to be airing this in the format that she chose.
The fluffy mozzarella she is talking about is probably because we call it "Buffalo Mozzarella" and not just Mozzarella. So maybe that's why she's having trouble with cheese because she really isn't looking in the correct place or the names we use? Just a guess.
I live in Ohio and visit Cincinnati often. Her complaint about cheese is odd because there is a store called Jungle Jim’s not to far from where she lives that would have a huge selection of cheeses and breads. Also we have Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s here. Also there are parts of Cincinnati you should avoid but I enjoy the city as a whole.
She says Montzerella cheese is soft and fluffy not who knows how true that is. Pfft
I was literally just there yesterday! Lots of stinky cheeses from all over lol.
Geez she needs to travel the country more, there are many cities that require you to buy your grocery plastic and use your own reusable bags, and there are many cities that do allow you to walk around with a glass of wine. Also there are many areas in the same cities that have one and two faucet systems. And I’ve lived in the mid-west, not all follow what apparently is the norm in Minneapolis, and Chicago. It’s the young that don’t go grocery shopping, and depend on all these delivery food places. Many families know where to go to get the best prices for groceries, also prices all over the country are based on cost of living, which is largely dependent on truck prices, which is dependent on fuel prices. She needs to start checking her facts before generalizing her statements. Highly offended by opinions based on apparently very small experience level, sad after 5 years.
I need to go live in Madrid for 5 years and claim I know everything about Europe!
She never claimed what you said! Sheesh, lighten up people...it is not a serious video - just a list of things she can't get used to based on her local knowledge or maybe hearsay.
@@fuzzhead76 She claimed that these were things about "America," when really they're about Cincinnati--and a limited experience of Cincinnati at that.
AC Temps can differ greatly among structures. Lot of people like their AC set in the 60 to 70° range, which is quite cool. But it's usually in buildings where a lot of people are going to be in, and the more bodies, the more body heat you're gonna generate. I kinda like our AC set to around 74 to 76° during the Summer. I get chilled when it gets down to 71° or below.
My wife and I sleep in winter under the bed covers with a standup fan blowing on us with the thermostat set at 65 F ( 18.33 C ). Summer we have the thermostat set at 68 F ( 20 C) with the standup fan blowing on us, under a bed sheet.
@Robert Wilson need to get you a temp adjustable mattress
@@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay Also cooling gel pillows. Got one for Black Friday and OMG what a game changer!
The other thing is that temperature is relative. When its 30° out side, 60° feels hot but when it's 90°, 68° feels cold.
Liquor laws are different from state to state, from county to county, and on Sunday and not on Sunday. I don't know what the rules are in Ohio. But in Texas, they sell beer and wine in grocery stores, but you have to go to a store that sells "spirits" for hard liquor. In Wisconsin, beer and liquor are sold in grocery stores, and a bartender can sell you a bottle or a six pack to go. This gal needs to see more of the US than just Cincinnati.
I don't think anyone should be bothered by some random person's opinion. I'm American and there are things about America I don't like and I am sure there are things about Germany I wouldn't like. I am just not enough of a narcissist to make a video about it.
I watch Feli on regular basis, this was the only video where I felt she was mostly wrong. Top loaders clean better and they let you soak your clothes. Also, side loaders ruined my jeans by folds constant rubbing in one place leaving a permanent faded lines. We have single handle water faucets too, most of the time they are in the showers and kitchen, where our bathroom sinks have the 2 handle faucet. Most showers in my area have the handheld shower heads that attach to the shower head. Granted, they are not provided in new houses or in hotels, but people have the option buying them with their own money if they choose to at the hardware stores and a lot people do. I am not going to get into the gun issue but there's crime everywhere but it has nothing to do with guns, people will just use something else like a car to mow people down or knives. The problem lies into the culture, not into an object, since they do find something else to use. As for bags and straws that depends where too. In CA, it is illegal to give out free plastic bags in certain type of stores (like grocery stores), they have to charge you by per bag. So a lot people have switched over using stronger re-usable bags that they bring with them...yes, you sometimes forget or can't plan out to bring bags, but we are in the mindset to bring our own bags now. For straws, the law is you have to ask for them, but no one (restaurants) follows that over reaching law. They tried to use a picture of a turtle with a straw up it's nose, we were like "Really? How often does that happen?" Also, USA is nowhere near the top when it comes to polluting our oceans with trash...studies have shown by far amount that the real solid waste ocean polluters are the Asian countries. USA is pretty good at keeping its trash buried in landfills.
I strongly disagree with the suggestion that tooload washers are better. They definitely don't clean better. Plus they use less water, are more efficient and clean faster. I've never had an issue with creasing. And they break down far less than topload.
Me too. I watch her all the time. I don't recall seeing this one but she was off the mark a lot. She's usually pretty... ok.
I've seen a couple of her videos and I don't recall ever having an issue with any of them but this one, ooof 😬
If you are concerned about pollution in America you need to visit one of the Third World Countries to see what real pollution is like!!
@@olli-lfe I felt like she was just being nit-picky in this video and it has rubbed many Americans the wrong way. But, she truly is not dissing the U.S. I mean, I agree with a lot of what she said but I love my country.
Can/bottle deposit - you pay the deposit ahead and get it BACK when it's returned. It's an incentive to return it 😊
Probably the reason the shower head are fixed instead of handheld is because its cheaper.
Especially in hotels. Plus they'ed get wrecked or worse.
A/C in public buildings, restaurants and stores can be quite cold. In these building the windows usually do not open, therefore A/C will be used until the heat is needed. In restaurants you can ask to be seated away from the A/C vents.
I live in the US and I agree when it comes to stores and restaurants. I think many of them have the A/C on too cold. Theaters are big on being too cold in the summer! I often take a sweater with me.
For the crime thing, she happened to live in a crappy state and city lol. So her views are slightly skewed to be fair. She was in ohio, which is a pretty crappy state.
oh lol. oh lol. do you have ton practice being stupid and spending your mommies food stamps? oh lol. yes or no you moron? oh lol. oh lol.
Seriously? Cincinnati is not anywhere near as bad as new York or Chicago or Tampa or Miami or ....
As someone from Ohio. WHAT!!!
Not perfect but no where near as bad as people say Ohio is like.

Front loading machines can 10 to be twice as expensive in the states as top-loading machines. I have never found top-loaders to not clean the clothes well.
You can set your thermometer to what you want. If you want it super cold you can, if you want it just cool, you can do that too. I don’t like it cold either!!
I clean houses and half the showers have hand held with normal head as well in same shower
Not only is she whiny, she’s often very wrong about America. I’ve watched several of her videos and she hasn’t a clue
Can you give examples of where she's wrong? She always states her opinions and experiences with the caveat that it's quite subjective, but she does bring experts facts and figures as well. They sources she uses are always located in the description box. Personally, I've never found her whiny. Like, at all. This video is a bit different, but I think it's actually more down to presentation. Most of what she says seems correct to me, at least regionally.
@@willsofer3679 "Americans don't pay attention to facts". That's certainly wrong - a massive generalization with none of those "experts" to back it up.

I live in the south where summers maybe very warm temperatures of 38C are not unusually, so I keep my AC on 26C.
A/C is a necessity in the south not only because of the heat but because the humidity is absolutely suffocating.
@@applelover98 Believe it or not, it's actually pretty similar here in the Ohio River Valley. Our summers are as bad as yours. But we also get "frozen north" conditions in the Winter, like in North Dakota. People in Ohio, especially southern Ohio, complain about the weather constantly. For good reason.
Both of the taps Feli showed are mixer taps. The one on the right is better because it is easier to adjust the temperature. The hot or cold water comes into the faucet under each handle and mixes in the space just under the nozzle. Some homes built built before WWII have a separate faucet on each side of a sink where all a person can do is mix the hot and cold water in the sink basin.
America isn't Europe - generally nobody cares about enforcing our culture here. The fact that Feli, a German, is making a video about "getting used to" certain American things is evidence that she is accustomed to people adapting to her ways. America is multi-cultural, not mono-cultural. That is a European mindset.
I live in Texas and literally everybody I know has a hand held shower head and half of them also have the stationary one and half of those have rain shower
Her experiences must be unique to Ohio. I have enjoyed more than a couple of beers at beaches. Usually, the only restriction is on glass bottles. People take coolers full of beer. There are bars on many beaches with additional tiki bars outside where you can buy a beer or other drink. She needs to visit Florida.
It's not unique to Ohio, necessarily. She's traveled around quite a bit, but not lived elsewhere. Chances are she went to typical beaches on the west coast, where that's probably not generally permitted, except on certain beaches. It is a thing in Ohio though, as we spent decades cleaning up our coastline, and Lake Erie, from a ridiculous amount of pollution. So Ohioans are kind of protective of the ecology there now.
I’ve never been to a grocery store that doesn’t have alcohol either.
@@twinkstar7738 In Pennsylvania you have to go to a state run liquor store. Definitely not the case in most states though.
@@Berts-pets I found out a couple years ago that here in Texas you can’t buy alcohol before noon on Sunday. I thought that was kind of weird.
Yea... Florida beaches have bars where you can buy the beer and go back to enjoying the beach. Also, there is little trash on the beach at PCB and garbage cans everywhere. Watching the trash collection at the end of the day is neat. They have a tractor pulling a long trailer with guys on the back that empty and exchange them. The tractor never stops.
So I don't know where she was but all my shower heads are detachable. Only the really old ones don't move
I think it's all an opinion on her part and all of this is a "you" problem .
I live just north of Cincinnati and summers here are often in the 90s and the humidity is always around 80% AC is a must here

I hate to sound rude...but I'd happily drive her to the airport to go home
19:03 well, the first problem with this is she’s in Ohio, though yes generally cities here have a lot more dangerous and bad areas than other developed nations.
More than a few of those "developed" nations now have 'no-go' zones, actually specified by the police there. If you do not look like one of it's inhabitants, and stroll through, you just might find out why it's called a 'no-go' zone. The police themselves do not go into such areas. Sections of Sweden (of all places!), England, France etc have their own 'hostile' areas.
@@rightlyso8507 I'm sorry, but this isn't true at all. I've seen some right-wing pundits say this on and off again over the years, but it's not based in reality at all. There are absolutely no "no-go zones' in Europe. At all. Yes, some people avoid certain neighborhoods in places like Malmo, but that's just personal preference.
@@willsofer3679 Thank you for your input! However, I'm not sorry in telling you that you're, most certainly, not correct in your assertion that there are no "no-go" zones in Europe. I have no idea how just stating a fact would make a person a "right-wing pundit". That's certainly an extraordinarily odd correlation. Anyhow, there are more than a few videographers, here on TH-cam, from Sweden, for instance. I'm not aware of their political orientation, though. They detail their concerns with these areas and how they are basically off-limits to those that do not share the same demographics as these areas' inhabitants. Rotherham, in the UK, is another one of those "no-go" zones. Hopefully, as clear-minded folks vote in governments to finally represent them adequately, this blight in their countries can be cleared up.
On the faucet thing mixer taps are commonly in the kitchen and the separate hot and cold handles are in the bathrooms.
I take a sweatshirt to my local sports bar here in Phoenix. Even thought it's 115° outside the AC is so cold especially if you get a seat right below it
America has great bread and cheese. You just have to buy from local businesses. Don’t expect to get it from Walmart or another national chain.
Facts. That's like comparing local burgers or doughnuts to fastfoods
We still have the deposit system in Maine for bottles. You don't have to go to your nearest recycling center, you can typically exchange at your local supermarket. There's no money to be made, unless you're willing to dig though public waste bins for bottles and cans. When I buy a canned or bottled beverage, I pay an additional 5 cents for each can/bottle at the register. I get my 5 cents back IF I take the container to a designated bottle return location.
She's correct about the bar code thing. We can't destroy the barcode because that's how the computer tells if the can was sold in state and is eligible for the 5 cent redemption. Meaning, you can't save up all of your bottles and cans from a state where you didn't pay the extra fee at the register, to turn them in at a state that does have such a program.
First thing I did when I moved into my new house was to install hand held shower heads. sigh
I wear light sweaters at work during the summer because the AC is so cold. I even have a personal mini heater that I use at times.
What's app is more popular in other countries because of cellular plans that don't include free texts or free international texting but almost every plan in the US comes with free texts and a lot of them have free international calls to Europe/Canada/Mexico/Carribean (probably more).
