Yeah, if someone wants to lear at me, while I'm in a public restroom, through a small gap then they better be prepared to defend themselves.

Its almost like the city was designed for humans

American here. I use 24 hour format at work.

We used to get a full cooked breakfast on British Airways domestic flights, even on flights on a tiny turboprop that were an hour long. Was soooo much better than the 4 hour drive.

Meh, this one's weak. I learned both the moronic imperial system AND the metric system in my 1990-2000s US education.

Europeans understand tipping. It is used to express gratitude for excellent service. What they can't understand is how employees are not paid a fair wage that is not dependant on the number of customers or their generosity.

Lol, to be fair I’m a Brit and I once ended up on this unexpectedly…I somehow almost reversed into a ride-on lawnmower. So I’ll forgive the Americans not getting this one either 😝

The Magic Roundabout in Swindon. I've used it and honestly it isn't as bad from the drivers seat as long as you give way to the right

Round about. That one is Clark Griswold complicated though

I'm German and I don't get it either.

Roundabouts are the spawn of Satan.

Sounds like some Europeans don't know about Carmel, Indiana. https://www.builderonline.com/land/this-city-has-more-roundabouts-than-any-other-in-the-u-s_o

The worst bit is when you remember you're in Swindon.

They are implementing roundabouts where I live in Texas. Definitely not as elaborate as this. And most US drivers can't figure them out.

IT only work in rural areas with very little traffic. You put it in a city, and it will jam evreywhere.

This is a bowl of spaghetti, but roundabouts have gotten much more popular in the US in the last 30 years

This is the worst example of a roundabout and a great example of stupidity.

Look kids, Big Ben, Parliment.

These are in the US, not many, but they' re there.

Maybe.

Nope, I can´t either. What the f*** is this mess? P.S.: That is a rhetoric question.

This l can't argue with.

Yeah, I’n and ex-Brit and this even gives me anxiety.

One of the joys of a roundabout is seeing someone go straight through at high speed, hit the center hump and catch major air, then flip over and crash.

A roundabout? Ohhhhhh, never seen or driven on one of....oh, wait, yes I have. As we have tens of dozens in my city (Reno, NV) alone.

Remind me to never visit Swindon.

That one is a bit much, but go to Wisconsin - roundabouts everywhere.

What are these crazy looking things called? I have been on round about my entire life and never see one like this. It looks like there are rounds abouts within round abouts.

Yeah, I‘m German and I don‘t drive often in bigger cities. Small ones are everywhere, which is fine, but I do not like the big ones

Why are the lanes wavy entering the roundabout? Was the person drunk when they designed this?

A roundabout within a roundabout. It's not like we don't have horrible intersections within intersections. They're all terrible.

I don’t think anyone comprehends this

Worst roundabout I've seen...and we've got several nearby

In SA, most (in new houses) open to the outside and are top-hung and not bottom-hung. I feel that is better since they aren't falling back on curtains or blinds

These are common in many places.

They exist in America. They're just not the same as they once were. The toy is in one half and the food part in the other half

Solar powered clothes dryer

Garlic Aioli

why do I get the feeling that this photo was taken in the Netherlands? >.>

I love my bike

But but how else are the bloodsucking insurance companies supposed to make their profits??? Who'll think of the billionaires?? 🥺

Living in Germany these are on every house, dont have A/C but these really help keep the house cool

I thought that was a picture of a morgue at first glance!

They used to be common here. It's the original bidet, for washing "down there". Bidet is a deprecating name for "horse", since you had to ride it. It was introduced in the late 19th century... as a preventative for both MSTs and unwanted pregnancies, and was first popular with courtesans. "Honest" women didn't touch ( or wash) " those places".

Best add the mainland European minds to the list since I've yet to meet one who does this ;)

Not incomprehensible - just incredible.

As opposed to high fructose corn syrup

Because it's called Diet Coke in the US?

Americans thinking that is drive time not walking time.

Um...Electric kettle. I have one

I'm German like that clown and I can't comprehend this either. I hope he just wants to share with 12 buddies

Um yeah, American here. I learned to drive on a stick shift.
