"Woah!It is really slippery today!"
We say:
"Oh, it is really warm outside today!Just -30°C!"
You guys say suka blyat rush B
Exactly what I and my neighbors did this morning in Romania. I think (I'm not sure about this) that you are liable for injuries that happen in front of your house if you don't clean the snow. It might apply only to companies and institutions, though. We do it because it's the normal thing to do, not because of any legal obligation.
In Poland we don't say:
"Woah! It is really slippery today"
We say:
"Kurwa, ja pierdole!"
Love ur channel btw ❤️
Masz rację 😂😂
Prawda
Fr
There is no country in which a normal person won't say a F-word in that occasion 😂
@@user-hx4mv7qv5d but fr in poland f-word is using LITERALLY IN EVERY occasion
when you are happy
when you are angry
hungry, sad, broken etc.
I'm not joking seriously in every occasion
@@geraltzrivii1268 yeah in ukraine the same
As German myself i can confirm that we do this!
Respect to him, actions speak louder than words.
He even did the salt bae thing at the end 😂
"Snow bae" 😆
And he had "the Hoff" on the phone display like every German.
Cringe bae
i have fond memories of being 5 and trying to clear the garden during christmas. man i love germany
Do other countries not clear their driveways too? We do it all the time in America...
@@senseishu937 yeah but i live in britain now and it hardly ever snows. there was a LOT of snow that one christmas.
Update in Germany: Away with the snow
love this !!! my granpa was born in germany.... i grew up loving being so germanic like that... early to bed , early to rise, 3 balanced healthy meals a day. even at sleepovers id try to go to bed at a reasonable time. i enjoyed living like that and having a germanic mentality of efficiency and functionality and expecting optimal performance of myself ... i was an excellent student and ballerina and violin player and figure skater.... never felt stressed....got many academic awards... then i broke and got some pretty severe psychological problems... a type of ocd....
lol..... but i think i may turn my life around finally ... i think ive found a way to stop obsessing over concepts i dont agree with...i used to be confident...then the world beat it out of me.... im working on my body and my mind.... trying to get my confidence back that i can overcome any negativity i hear .... my identity is more powerful and exudes love and power....and this is all i need.. this is where my life comes from...not all these external accomplishments
As a Canadian, we just skate everywhere
He literally had to go to a field of some kind to find proper snowy ground xD
True! We've got a colder winter only all 4-ish years. At least in the flat parts of Germany. A very different story in the mountains, though they, too, start to experience more lack of snow now!
"Räum-und Streupflicht" 😂
I like how he woke up like he wasn't asleep the whole time 😅
Holy shit i didnt know Germans had perfected the technique of waking up from a silenced alarm.
Lemme guess, his alarm clock must sound something like... :
One wintry morning some 20 mins ago, I had clearing obligation.
I had everything to season the road, but salt, there was none.
I've been looking for Salt Bae,
I've been looking for so long...
Noob, why do you play Drow Ranger?
Preußens Gloria !
I've been looking for freedom
_checking_ ah, this' what you meant 🙄

...
I've been looking for Salt Bae,
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for Salt Bae
Since I left my home bed
I've been looking for Salt Bae
Still he can't be found
I headed down the track,
Snow shovel on my back
I left the city far behind
Slipping down that road,
With my heavy load,
Trying to find some peace of mind
Wifey said: "You'll be frozen, Liam,
If you leave our home this way
And when you realize,
The Salt Bae money buys,
He'll come running here someday"
I've been looking for Salt Bae,
I've been looking for so long
I've been looking for Salt Bae,
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for Salt Bae
Since I left my home bed
I've been looking for Salt Bae
Still he can't be found
I met a lot of dews,
From the nose to ooze,
Travelling across the land
Worked on a path,
Got some muscle in my arms
But still I am not a salty man
I feel the run for many hours to come
I'll be searching door to door
And given some time
Some day I'm gonna find
The Salt Bae
I've been searching for
I've been looking for Salt Bae,
I've been looking for so long
I've been looking for Salt Bae,
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for Salt Bae
Since I left my home bed
I've been looking for Salt Bae

I think I nailed the song that unites Germany in the winter. :D
In Germany we say: “Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt
Erika
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
Wird umschwärmt
Erika
Denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit
Zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt
Erika
In der Heimat wohnt ein blondes Mägdelein
Und das heißt
Erika
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
Und mein Glück
Erika
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht
Singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
Und das heißt
Erika
In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
Und das heißt
Erika
Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein
Schaut's mich an
Erika
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut
"Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?"
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
Und das heißt
Erika”
Kultur ❤
I’m from Germany 🇩🇪 And he is being the most German he can be 👍
Ja Du bist ein perfekter German💯👍♥️
We say:
"Vorsicht ist die Mutter der Weisheit."
Vorsicht ist die Mutter der Porzellankiste.
Nein!
We say: vorsichtig ist die Mutter der Porzellankiste!
This is basically my entire childhood.
Απίστευτο!Το αγαπημενο μου για τη φετινη γιουροβιζιον για να μην πω για ολες!Ο,τι πιο ομορφο κ ποιοτικο εχει δωσει ποτε χωρα στο διαγωνισμο!12 points from Greece 🇬🇷 for ❤ this piece or ART!! Grand!!!
German beauties are made of tough, virtuous stuff. It must be a national trait.
Bro really just did the salt bae 💀👍
If you look closely at his left arm when he was about to slip in the beginning, you can see that he also did the H*tler
Omg. That sound. Not living at my parents house anymore, but whenever I hear that sound in winter I'm instantly wide awake 🤣.
Having lived in Germany. You won't find a stranger work ethic anywhere else.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Kazakhstan: Hooray, ice! Oh, did I slip and fall? let's take another ride on the slippery ice! (even the sidewalks are covered with ice - you can skate anywhere). 😅
We don't say anything, we just act and let our work speak for us.
So ist es. Fängt einer an zu schippen haben alle anderen ein schlechtes Gewissen und kommen auch nach und nach raus 🙈
Remember the 2 world wars your grandpa's started and the holocaust? We Remember
Solang es funktioniert @@Lau_rii
As a German I didn’t understand what he said in the end 😂
In Germany doctors don't say "your medicine is $54" we say "Uber ready"
"Ready to charge!"
That joyous feeling when you wake up to the sound of snowplough scraping on tarmac & know you get a free work out in the fresh air today...
In England, we say: It's not even that cold, just run the 16000 miles, you'll be fine!
And Australians say… Wait! It dOseN’T SnOw HeRe
In Germany we don't say: Nice video!
We say:
ERSTER!11!!!!1
hahaha, so true
Du kriegst n Pokal 😂👌🏻
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
I am honestly shocked that people don't care to salt(?) the streets in England. Als deutsche will ich alle anzeigen 😩
I couldn't agree more. I think the culture here is to not think it's their problem
Granulat würde ebenso funktionieren, aber nur geräumt reicht auch.
Salz ist Mist...
Well, it's not ideal for the environment to salt the whole country.
@@tarananajaika you obv don't salt the entire country, just roads and pathways, and this contributes to avoiding traffic accidents and people getting hurt.
@@mariolucht If you want to read up on it, there is way too much salt, literally tons of it, that get put on the street and then washed into the ground. It's actually such a problem, so some towns don't allow to put salt on the pavement.
"A capivara aqui tem CPF e paga imposto" KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Ja, Schnee und Eis muss um 7 Uhr geräumt sein 😂❄️🫶
We say:SONNTAGS IST LKW FAHRVERBOT!
How to wake up a whole street in Germany: Get up at 5 a.m. and walk on the pavement with your snow shovel. This sound wakes up everyone, believe me. I did this for fun in summer and after two minutes, the light was switched on in almost every house. :D
schlecht isolierte Fenster :-)
@@helenebach3440 Nene - dieser Sound funktioniert auf einem anderen Level. Der kratzt direkt an deiner Seele ohne den Umweg über die Ohren zu machen.
So gut kannst du deine Fenster gar nicht isolieren...
Meine Nachbarn stehen einfach mit mir auf, und wir schieben alle zusammen den Schnee 😅!
und zwar schön pünktlich um 5:00Uhr und keine Minute früher oder gar später!!
In Germany also don’t talk about ‘WW2 guy’
OMG I am laughing my butt off.. its SO TRUE! The crrrrkkk.. every freaking morning in a snowy winter x'D I cant.. ♥
If i ever have a roommate that instantly gets up after 1 alarm and opens his eyes with a thousand mile Vietnam stare i'd move countries
I live in America but have lots of German in me, these are making me laugh so much, and I so see where I get many characteristics. Now let me slide on my Birkenstocks to take my dogs out in the snow.
Where in America, there lots of countries around here?
You are getting to it mate 🇩🇪 Junge ich bin so stolz auf Dich
Bro got the Jesus Sandals and socks on like a real Eskimo
When you move to Germany you have pay a weekly tax of a portion of your soul until you are unable to find joy in anything but beer.
Love Germany.
