Not true everywhere, actually never heard of it here (Germany and Austria).

But if you walk into a place and ask for a paper cup of tap water, a lot of workers are willing to give it to you, regardless of the laws.

Vienna has tap water straight from the mountains btw and it tastes amazing. Recommended.

The first time I heard about sex from a friend, I was around 5 or 6 and went to my mom if that’s true. My mom went to the library, got some sex-ed books for kids and talked me through it. It ended up being not one single talk, but multiple, age appropriate ones spread over the years.

She didn’t do a perfect job, I’d say. There were many things left unknown and she was awkward with the topic (not an issue as a kid, certain issue as a teen).Though, considering that she got all her sex ed from magazines back in the day, definite progress on a generational scale.

I’m confident that I could do a better job than her, because she did a better job than her parents. That’s how it all works, no?

As god intended.

The “regular” ist key here. I checked my local breads, saw no added sugar, saw some sweet breads with sugar, concluded that regular bread usually doesn’t contain sugar. Asked you to disprove the claim with examples, because I got curious. That’s not claiming all breads contain no sugar. That’s your interpretation, not my intended meaning.

I can also tell you why I concluded that: because I didnt count Gerstenmalz-extrakt as sugar (and didn’t know what “malted barley” translates to). I didn’t even know it was sweet. I searched for sugar in the ingredients and couldn’t find any. So now I learned something new, which is that this stuff is sweet, even if it isn’t pure sugar. Also that our breads, even if they usually taste less sweet than in other countries I’ve been to, have added sweet stuff. Good to know.

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.

This is what I browse this sub for, thank you.

It’s a joke man.

Don’t do this to your kids if you think that was wrong, lol. I know people who grew up like this, complained to me and then started to behave the exact same way with their kids later on.

I know parents who don’t own PCs. Just phones. A bunch of working class kids are without access to a PC. Of course they’re going to be worse at it than we were. How are they supposed to learn?

It’s not like we did it because we wanted to show off our useful skills on the job market, lol.

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).

Nobody “dresscoded” me at home. As soon as I was old enough to pick my own clothing, I could. What skirts or jeans or dresses I wore was my choice completely. My school also didn’t care much.

Blew my mind when I realized how many other girls had to sneak out with their clothes because the parents had a rule against tight jeans or whatever.

I still think my parents were right with this one. The kids with the strictest rules were always those with the craziest outfits. Can’t blame them, I’d have done the same.

When I first read this one, I thought it sounded crazy. Then I realized I know what you mean and am able to do it.

Maybe it’s normal and it’s just the description that doesnt click with people? Anyone in the comments who thinks they can’t do it?

I think point three is pretty “normal”. A lot of People eat cake, pudding and ice cream with smaller cutlery.
