Because it’s gridlocked you stupid German.
Seen this happen in European countries too, eventhough I despise american fascist pigs
Nobody more annoying than a German tourist bitching about everything
I’d say waiting for an ambulance while a loved one dies in front of you just because assholes wouldn’t get out of the way is more annoying. No doubt followed by some health insurance bullshit that makes zero sense in any other country. But no, it’s the tourist who’s wrong.
There might be somebody… ☝🏼
Yeah, but do you know what their mum says about them?
Oh look a cyclist bitching about shit
i lol’d
What’s German for “trying too hard?”
In the video right after he says nobody moves out of the way there is someone moving out of the way but he edited the video to remove it.
Disingenuous bullshit.
I’m amazed you could see that since he edited it out of the video so you couldn’t see it.
It’s literally the thumbnail, fella
Someone moving out of the way still doesn’t equal everyone moving out of the way. He’s way ahead of them at the end of the video. The point still stands.
Ok then why is the ambulance not passing on the left?
To be fair, with the congestion that severe, the ambulance should use helicopters. Like they do here in London.
Not sure you want that with no faa
I’m sure you DON’T want that with no FAA
Good luck finding a spot to land somewhere close within Manhattan. Unless you happen to have the heart attack next to a car park (or the central park) that also happens to not be heavily used right now there’s hardly any spot to safely land.
in London and other cities it’s less of a problem given we don’t build that many high rise buildings and got more big old market places and small parks.
A chopper can land safely on any road cross. And NY has shit loads of them. Then it’s a 1 minute walk.
We need them to rappel from the helicopter and swing right into your appartment through the window. This is how we save lives.
I didn’t think you could make the job of a paramedic even more exciting than it already is, but here we are.
Trauma team is on the job
“This Berk had Platinum coverage?”
its a whole movie trope that this is an issue in europe because their infrastrucutre doesnt support cars
I’m not an American but I’ve lived in Washington for years. Every time an Ambulance is moving with its siren on, people move to the side of the road to let it pass. This guy is just inaccurate.
But surely this one example is enough to judge an entire country by!
He clipped the video as someone was moving out of the way
Manhattan has gridlock that prevents this. There’s no space to move into.
yup, I was on a street so narrow just a couple months ago that I couldn’t pull over far enough to let a firetruck go by. I had pulled over as far as I could. The truck got behind me and I couldn’t move over. SO I just said “fuck it” - and zoomed into the road as fast as was safe and turned off the road the first place I could find.
Eh, feels like he’s playing up the stereotype of the eternal German.
"…WE DON’T DO ZIS IN GERMANY! YOU BUILD HOUSES WITH WOOD? WE DON’T DO ZIS IN GERMANY. YOU DON’T SEPARATE GLASS FROM RECYCLING? BUT WE DO ZIS IN GERMANY!!!
I’m allowed to say that, I’m Germany myself. We are obnoxious and tone-deaf fuckers.
Could just be they talk so damn loud they can’t hear anyone else.
Agreed
There’s tone deaf and there’s common sense, life saving practices.
This. I absolutely prefer to be a tone-deaf fucker among tone-deaf fuckers if that means my ambulance arrives timely after someone tried car buttsex at 260 kmh. (162 mph)
What, speed limits? Don’t you dare touch my freedom.
It’s Manhattan you’re not getting above 26 let alone 260. 2.6 is a good day.
I saw this exact same thing yesterday in Cologne Germany but not with one, but two ambulances.
As a city dweller I never seen this happen in Germany ever in my life. So not too common at least.
Germany is better than most places, but it happens here too. It could be one of those things you only notice when you’re looking for it.
I’ve never seen someone open carry a gun in the US but when you listen to people it sounds like everyone does.
I was a my friends WG (group apartment) and her roommate just got back from the US. She was shocked that the Americans even put sugar in their bread. Something something it’s why they are all fat and unhealthy. I was curious, so got all of the german bread there… And you know what? It all had a higher sugar content than the American bread example.
What bread are you eating? Another example I can’t relate to at all. I usually bake my own bread, sometimes I buy. Never had sugar in it. Maybe you were looking at Brioche or something? I consider that more of a sweet like cake or muffins.
Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though? I just looked it up for the supermarkets in my area, so I’m sure I’m not spouting bullshit.
Genuine question, what bread did you look at?
There are varieties with sugar, but it’s not the norm. This is definitely much more typical for other countries (not just the US).
But serious question @taxiiiii. Do I need to go on? “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though” - so you say - or does it? Which is exactly the point I was making about the ambulance. Ambulances never get blocked in Germany, just as german bread does not have added sugar. Both are of course wrong.
Really. I can give you 1,000 other examples of where it has added sugar. I can also give you examples of german bread that have double or tripple higher added sugar then other countries typical bread.
You are correct that many counties like Japan, or Sweden, or the US add sugar to their bread, but you would also be wrong to assume that it doesn’t happen in your country. Cause it happens in every country. Want to know how I know? I’ve professionally baked bread in Germany and the US.
Dude, I never said no bread in Germany contains sugar. Regular supermarket bread in my area mostly doesn’t, so I was wondering. I’m not sure what got you annoyed enough about an innocent question to downvote me and turn this into a three comment answer? I really wasn’t trying to be snarky.
That’s the thing with stereotypes, it’s not about saying all people or all things are like this, it’s about tendencies. Some people play those up for humor. Anyone who then seriously claims that “everyone/everything from country x is like that” is an idiot of course. I didn’t do that though.
Thanks for giving me examples, it’s good to know that the sugar content of storebought bread is that different depending on the region. That’s all I wanted to know.
Buuuttt… You more or less did say that. This is what you said - “Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though”
And Haha no worries my man, I simply had the time. The thing is… regular supermarket bread in your area does have added sugar. That is the point. It is not region dependant. It does in northern Germany, it does in southern Germany, east and west. It does in your bio-markt, it does in Aldi, it does at netto, it does at rewe. The common default is added sugar in one variety or another. It is rare, so rare it is much harder to find an exception to that rule. Grocery stores almost all have mass produced bread - mass produced bread has added sugar for a lot of good reasons.
Which one did I look at? No idea. That was 4 years ago at someone’s house. But here are some examples. Merzenich are the most common bakeries around me.
Their bauernhandbrötchen have 2,6g sugar per 100g. Their main sugar that they are adding is malted barely. But they also add beet sugar and grape sugar. Malted barley is sugar syurp. https://baeckerei-merzenich.de/ WEIZENMEHL 43 %, Wasser, ROGGEN MEHL 7 %, ROGGENMALZFLOCKEN 4 %, GERSTENMALZEXTRAKT, Zucker, Traubenzucker, Malzmehl (GERSTE, WEIZEN), WEIZENGRIESS, Rapsöl, Salz, BUTTERMILCHPULVER, Hefe
Here is another kamps village bread 1.6g sugar https://kamps.de/produkte/brot-kamps-dorfbrot
Or another at 2.6g sugar https://kamps.de/produkte/brot-kamps-eck
Here is a sliced bread variety at 1.5 G that I see at rewe https://www.harry-brot.de/produkte/detail/show/sammy-s-super-sandwich-das-original
I’m not trying to cherry pick out examples. Literally the first thing I find that is bread
Backwerk kaiserbrötchen 2.6g sugar, their pretzel 3.4g sugar https://www.back-werk.de/de/sortiment/kaiserbrotchen-622?lang=de
It doesn’t get more typical for me than german pumpernickel, with a whopping 6.7g sugar coming from sugar beets and malted barley syurp https://www.knuspr.de/6236-alnatura-bio-pumpernickel?gad_source=1
Bread from rewe. 2.8g sugar. Coming from caramelized sugar and a inverted sugar syurp. https://shop.rewe.de/p/gab-weltmeisterbrot-mehrkorn-750g/2306462
Farmers crust 2,6g sugar http://sortiment.heberer.de/de/home/i/50001178 Roggenbrot 2.6g sugar http://sortiment.heberer.de/de/home/i/50001154
Do I need to go on?
Absolutely every second for an ambulance matters. Every. Second.
People blocking an ambulance should be punished and made examples of.
Nobody is blocking the ambulance here, there’s literally nowhere to go. Have you never been to a real city before?
I live in Atlanta. One of the slowest most congested city’s in America. We hold record to the slowest intersection in the country. In the smallest worst parts of the city we get out of the way for emergency vehicles.
Have you ever been to a real city?
There are cities that use medics on motor bikes for this exact reason. They can’t evac someone but getting there quickly to use a defibrillator or control bleeding could make a difference.
You should see major cities in latin america if you think that’s bad. In many countries it’s like they don’t even care.
The US has no excuse though, we should be way, way better.
Why would cities in latin america have excuses?
Education quality is a tip of the iceberg.
Talk to someone who went to a public school in say the dominican republic. I’ve heard stories of years of kids just waiting around with next to no actual teaching involved from someone who was physically there in their childhood. If you don’t go to a private school odds are you aren’t going to get any real education or structure beyond what you pick up at home… and odds are your parents were in the same boat.
The US education system has been nothing like that, it is going to get like that in the south though. In remote low population areas it’s very possible to get bad - and clearly some teenage pregnancies disrupt things in the US, but in the DR it’s a lot worse.
I’m from Chile and whenever you’re in a jam and an ambulance needs to get through, cars move out of their way to let it through. In Santiago, at least. We also stop at zebra crossings to let pedestrians cross.
Ja.
