It’s odd that people outside the US care about gaps in the bathroom stalls because they tend to be the first ones to stand next to you at a urinal or sit next to you while you’re in a stall.
The tax thing isn’t exactly right: taxes can vary widely even within the same state. You may have a city, county, and state tax all combined that can affect the total price you pay for something.
American toilets were reduced by law to 1.6 gallons per flush in 1992, and since then they have been notorious for not flushing effectively and having to be plunged often.
Hi from California!! I've enjoyed your channel for awhile now. Thank you for your reaction ☺️. I post comments often, but am unaware if you read them. You researching things gives me joy 🤣❤. I'm a fan of looking up anything I don't have knowledge of. Thank you!!
Even in the winter we’ll drink cold drinks with ice, if you’re inside and the heat is on it doesn’t really matter. If you’re outside, then for sure a hot beverage is preferable.
WTAF are people doing in a bathroom stall that they are ashamed / embarrassed of? The door side gaps are only ~10mm. We are the only creatures on the planet that have to go hide when we urinate/defecate. There is little to zero 'splash-back' (so little that one could almost claim it never, ever happens.) Period. Are your droppings gas-powered or something? It isn't as if your sitting several feet above the water and propelling them in there. Also, you don't have to scrub down the smears every time you use it either. Tipping of workers that earn good wages is also done when exceptional help or quality has been performed. It isn't done by a percentage but as a 'Thank You, your good work is greatly appreciated'. Example: This morning a truck driver delivered a 100+ pound item to my home. He was only expected to drop it at my front doorstep but was happy to walk it around back to my garage. As a sign of appreciation I gave him $20 for lunch. Sales tax, included or not, is not a big deal. Plan on adding 10% and when you get change back you're ahead. If you can't swing that little bit maybe you don't need to be spending your money... C° or F° - BFD. It's hot or it's cold. If you're cooking, you have a point but it's not that difficult to convert on your phone, etc. And chances are pretty good that whatever products you're cooking are printed with instructions 'in the coin of the realm', so to speak. Beyond that there are simple conversions - 1 inch roughly equals 25 mm. 100kmh = 61 mph , 50kmh = 30 mph, etc. Ice or no ice, the paper cup costs more than the product inside so the 'that's how they cheat you' conspiracy theory is baseless.
The gaps in public restrooms stalls vary widely. You may go to a public restroom and there’s not much of a gap and others there’s over a foot of gap. Restrooms in gas (petrol) stations also vary widely if there is even one. Thurston, you may want to give a bidet a chance. No, we really don’t have that much space in our bathrooms - it really depends on the size of the bathroom. Older homes typically have smaller bathrooms than newer ones.
The reason for the updated flag is because each star represents a state and Alaska & Hawaii were just added. Also the more ice you put in a drink the colder your drink gets and the ice doesn't melt and water down your drink.
thanks lav...sales tax varies state to state...most 5-8%...so buy something for 100 dollars with 7% tax = 107 dollars...it's an overblown point...keep up the good work.
Will say here in the desert (Arizona) ice water is necessary all year round. Even if it’s cold in the winter it’s so dry out that ice water feels amazing on your dry throat
I hope Trump put tariffs on people who make videos like the one you just reviewed. The AI implied we make flags Willy nilly, that we raise sales tax nationally, that sidewalks don’t exist, and god knows what else.
That other flag at 0:57 is the city flag of Chicago. The bigger cities have it's own city flags. From time to time, you'll see Lawrance at Lost In The Pond wear a Chicago hat with the city flag.
Also, bidets are an added expense that most Americans can't afford. If you're looking at a new unit. Along with the added expense of water, if you're looking at getting a separate unit.
Personally, I think it's weird to have a hot drink outside of winter and fall. Say what you want but a ice cold drink is refreshing especially in the summer. Not sure why that's confusing or weird.

That depends on the state. Here in Tennessee it's 10% for everything except unprepared food which is 5%. Upside? We don't have a state income tax and our property tax is extremely low
I live in Texas where every town adjusts a sales tax for the town or city even within the same county of the state... The sales tax is NOT a national tax, each of the local governments set and collect sales taxes... However the VAT, value added tax, is a national tax set by the national government... Huge difference...
Fahrenheit is super easy, because it’s based on how humans feel temperature. 0 degrees is the coldest humans can generally live in, and 100 degrees is generally the hottest you can comfortably live in. If it’s anything in between, you can easily judge how it feels. For example, 70 is very comfortable, 105 is extremely hot, 35 is pretty cold, and -5 is bitter cold. With Celsius, that same temperature range is from -17 C to 38 C. Not a very intuitive way to measure temperature. Celsius is definitely useful for science, since it’s based on how water at sea level reacts to temperature, but it’s not really convenient for human temperatures.
The main convenience is a degree Fahrenheit is about half a degree Celsius, so you don’t need a decimal point to delineate between comfortable and a little too hot or too cold.
It was based on lowest temperature recorded at the time,0°, and reproduced with a brine. The upper temp was base on his measurement of body heat, 96°, and segmented into 12 sections of 8. Fahrenheit is more precise than Celsius, it’s only useful in science because it’s relation to other metric factors. Kelvin would be the best to use for science.

This is why I keep watching you: you take the time to look up things you want to know more about. Other reactors almost never do this.
I also like that he does that 😊
In the US; if someone catches you peeking into a bathroom stall, you will get your ass kicked.

And still be less than the typical VAT.
@@JustMe-dc6ks In some states the sales tax is less than a third of a VAT...

When you grow up in the US, you don't pay attention to the gaps in a public bathroom. We don't peek on anyone. Never had a splash back situation 😂

Unlike Europe. We have water readily available. Everywhere!
The ice isn't really a problem here in most cases because we get free refills for most drinks.
Even in the winter we’ll drink cold drinks with ice, if you’re inside and the heat is on it doesn’t really matter. If you’re outside, then for sure a hot beverage is preferable.
We drink ice cold drinks all year round, not just when it’s hot.
Actually most of the US has four seasons it’s just the timing, length, what kind of weather, and how hot or cold they get that varies.
Like in Canada its nine months of winter, one day spring and autumn, and three months of summer...

As an American I can see more flags more water in toilets than in Europe
there's no splashing whatsoever.. my toilette turns down twice actually
The reason for the updated flag is because each star represents a state and Alaska & Hawaii were just added. Also the more ice you put in a drink the colder your drink gets and the ice doesn't melt and water down your drink.
I have a forty-eight star flag, a forty-nine star flag, and a fifty star flag...

The reason why the American Flag design was changed in 1960 is because in 1959 both Hawaii and Alaska became States.
Americans don't like doing something because Europeans do it. That goes back generations I think.
I'm an ice freak. It's not a cold drink (to me) unless I first fill the glass with ice, then pour the liquid in.
I find the subject of bathroom doors hilarious. What are people doing that in there anyway?
I hope Trump put tariffs on people who make videos like the one you just reviewed. The AI implied we make flags Willy nilly, that we raise sales tax nationally, that sidewalks don’t exist, and god knows what else.
I get so sick of these types of videos.
I have had a bidet for a few years now and I’ll never go back!

I could NEVER imagine drinking a warm Coke!
No splash back in US. When standing up you can't see anything under the door. You've have to bend down to see under.
ice was packed in sawdust in the old days.
Looks like a Veterans cemetery
The US does NOT use the Imperial System. We use the System of Customary Weights and Balances, which is based on the older English System.
never have gotten' slash back
That other flag was the City of Chicago flag.
Personally, I think it's weird to have a hot drink outside of winter and fall. Say what you want but a ice cold drink is refreshing especially in the summer. Not sure why that's confusing or weird.
They dont include sales tax because it varies on a state and local level. Oregon and New Hampshire for example dont even have sales tax
That other flag was the Chicago city flag.
Splashback is not a thing in the US, unlike the toliets which use less water and leave skid marks on the side of toliet Ugh!
0:57 That's the Chicago flag
Tornadotrx did a new video, this one is one the moore tornado of 2013
that flag is the Chicago flag

Yet still the most patriotic in the world🇺🇸
@@Topher86 I 've found four studies that examine patriotism by country. In only one does the US come out on top.
@TyOneWorld66230-y ok, cool, but me personally wouldnt have much confidence in those sources 🤔 come on teen vogue😄 but hey to each their own.
Patriotism became associated with MAGA so liberals hate it
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv The survey has been conducted yearly by Gallup since early 2000.
Yes we do and we’re proud of it!
The tax is 8%
The tax is 8%, food isn't taxed unless it's prepaired.
It’s not 8% everywhere.
Not always true, I live in Vermont, there are 14 counties and every county has a different tax rate, ranging from 6% to 14%
That depends on the state. Here in Tennessee it's 10% for everything except unprepared food which is 5%. Upside? We don't have a state income tax and our property tax is extremely low

Fahrenheit scale is based with brime freezing at Zero degrees. Celsius scale is based with water freezing at Zero degrees... There is a difference....
