One of the major reasons that no one seems to mention is that renter’s are well protected by right’s and are nearly impossible to kick out. Rental contracts are usually signed without any expiry on the lease and agents are only allowed to raise rental prices every few years. People are expected to live in their rental for decades, to the point where rentals come without kitchens because people are expected to buy their own and use it for 20 years
No one relies on meat. The poorest countries in the world rely on rice and beans for protein
You’re a victim of successful brainwashing. My condolences
You think other countries don’t subsidize their industries for competition? Lol
Welcome to the real world kiddo
It always irks me when people think using foot as measurement was invented in England when they were used all over the world since the beginning of time. And different countries had different sized standard feet
If the foot measurement is supposedly based on King Henry I, who’s dick is this? 👀
It’s not though because it’s all 2FA.
And it’s not like you’re forced to use it either, if you prefer to opt out you can still walk into a Govt service centre and be served in person without needing an appointment. Just walk in
Und nebenbei: Tausendmal besser als die ganzen Horrorgeschichten von Immigranten die monatelang auf einen Termin beim Einwohnermeldeamt warten weil alles zigmal länger dauert 🫢 Hier ginge das einfach online und während man auf das Visum wartet hat man ohnehin eine vorübergehende Aufenthaltsgenehmigung mit Arbeitsrecht usw. Deutschland ist dahingehend einfach ein Albtraum und überhaupt nicht der gegenwärtigen Situation angewachsen. Also laber mir nix. Lächerlich einfach
As a German who has been living and working overseas (mainly Australia) for over 5 years, coming back to Germany to visit is such a huge culture shock now. It’s so much less developed compared to 20 or 30 years ago (or at the very least it stagnated), everything is slow and the economy depressing.
Even things that are meant to be easily done online like tax returns are a huge pain. You need to verify yourself by scanning your ID or getting a physical letter with a code sent to you. It’s ridiculous. In Australia you simply log in into your myGov account and handle everything from visa applications, tax returns, health records, welfare payments, child support etc all on one website. It’s super quick and easy.
And unlike Germany, government lingo is easy to understand and accessible. I feel like Germany is purposely trying to keep things as complex as possible to the point where many people have to hire an accountant for tax purposes
Tbh the less sugar I eat, the less I crave it. Even certain fruits can be almost unbearably sweet sometimes
Fatal crashes have actually gone up in recent years. Likely due to an uptick in SUVs and pick up trucks with their huge blind spots
There are less crashes now overall but they are far more deadly.

As a German living in Australia I can ensure you, smoking is still just as prevalent, it’s just people here being addicted to vapes instead of traditional cigarettes.
Disposable vapes are also dangerously cheap (2000 puff vapes are equivalent to about 10 packs of cigarettes, while only costing about $20) and despite efforts to ban them, easily available at any TSG/Ezymart without age verification.
It’s still dumb. When we’re at a point where we have to butcher our language with asterisks and colons to please Karens we’ve gotta admit that the language itself is heavily flawed.
Turns out English and Asian languages without gendered pronouns are simply superior
Einige Regionen in Bayern. In Teilen Österreichs auch gerne feminin die Joghurt
My favourite is some words having different pronouns in different regions. Like der/die/das Nutella, der Butter, das Joghurt 😳
You’re right but tbh I think it’s so silly that using* stars has become the defacto politically correct way to address gendering in the first place. It’s such an eyesore
Healthcare is still free in most of continental Europe
In Australia you’re paying hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for specialist appointments and radiology scans out of pocket
Also 95% of the country is uninhabited
It’s become America’s little bi ch.
Healthcare is slowly becoming unobtainable, and the housing crisis is worse than most other countries because the majority of the population lives in only 2 cities
Le wrong generation
You just don’t know how to look for good modern music that hasn’t been filtered by time yet
