Which banned thing is the most ridiculous?
Nuclear weapons, do we have the right to keep and bear arms or not?!
You realize it's illegal to walk across big highways and multi-lane roads in most of these other countries right? Scrambling to defend something so antithetical to the American idea of "freedom" just sounds like good ol familiarity bias
Jaywalking followed by Kinder Eggs
Your question on traffic being safer cuz jaywalking is allowed is very interesting. There are a bunch of videos out there comparing the nature of traffic in the US with that in other countries (I recall watching one about the way traffic lights work in the Netherlands). Its a very interesting topic which might be related to the history of the US and how car manufacturers played a big role in influencing USAs infrastructure and how that can still be seen today.
(funnily the video shouted out Not Just Bikes and you talked about it afterwards)
Kinda wonder what your opinion is on it, don't you think that's a massive problem? That the US is not a walking country. Both for accessibility (cars are expensive), nature friendly (no gas) and healthy (walking/cycling = physical exercise)
@@endersdragon34 no one ever talks about arming bears
"Im a highschool teacher here in the US and... they would choke" 😂😂
At highschool? And not just as a jest or dare?
My 8th grade civics teach said lawn darts became illegal due to people playing chicken by standing close together and throwing the darts straight up and last too run away was the winner
Not to mention people mixing alcohol with lawn darts

The most ridiculous thing about kinder eggs is it being illegal to even bring 1 with you in your luggage.
You can still bring the toy. Just not the egg.
You can separate the toy and the chocolate.
Nah, the most rediculous thing is that they are banned because of a few kids died, yet they do nothing about guns which are the biggest cause of kid deaths. Just another reason why the USA is a laughing stock of the rest of the world.
@@ob_dowboosh one in my bag, the other in my belly!
No the ridiculous thing, to all non-Americans, is that Kinder eggs have killed seven people globally in over 40 years. Whereas firearms kill over 2.500 under 19s a year - in fact they are the biggest cause of child deaths - in the USA. And that's just dwaths, it's not counting the children who survive getting shot.
But hey, to you it is more important to have the freedom to bear arms. If Kinder eggs, or haggis, or cheese with maggots in, were a US product, you can guarantee they wouldn't be banned. The USA is run for the benefit of big business, not of the people who live in it.
It looks like Mr. Terry glossed over the part where the girl wasn't the one playing with the Lawn Darts. She was playing with dolls when another kid threw the dart too far, sending it over the backyard fence and hitting the girl in the front yard.
In other words, some kid next door could be playing behind their fence, where you can't see them, then suddenly your child is motionless on the ground with a dart in her skull.
He conveniently failed to mention that the research that "proved" flavored cigarettes appealed to underage smokers was conducted by the American tobacco lobby, and most american company's only flavored cigarettes at the time were menthol which were exempted from the ban, and that independent studies showed that underage smokers overwhelmingly chose iconic brands like Marlboro Reds or their menthol variants. To anyone who was actually paying attention to what was going on at the time, it was clearly American big tobacco using a "think of the children" argument to push out foreign competition..
Pretty much the reason for kinder eggs too.
Can't believe I'm saying this but thank you American tobacco lobby?
That doesn't account for vapes or the fact the us is not the only ones to bane flavors. The difference the everyone else banned menthol too.
They also had the gilbert glass blowing kit and the chemistry set. Literally teaching kids to make molten glass and explosive chemicals.
Fortune cookies were a Japanese invention, but quickly fell out of popularity in Japan. When Chinese immigrants in America were making restaurants, they sold them as a form of "asian mysticism" to drive in customers. Also, American Chinese food isn't very Chinese either.
"American Chinese food isn't very Chinese"
You mean like American Italian food?
@@nanaya7e433 Pizza is still popular in Italy. It's just made a little differently.
@@musicsheep9816 I'm confused about what you mean. Pizza is an Italian dish.
@@nanaya7e433 pizza is typically ehat Americans think when thinking "American Italian food"
@@musicsheep9816 Pizza originated in Naples. Americans just changed it beyond all recognition.
Missed Historical Context: Jarts are not that different from Roman Plumbata, a "game" where Legionaires threw them at the incoming enemy before closing for ranked combat.
"You know how America is the best? Look at all this stuff written in English."
😂 oh, that's too good.
... said (apparently) unironically too 🤣
He did point out Burger King sing in particular.
And or English to be as spread internationally isn't just from colonial Britain, colturaly, Hollywood made big impact.
And like 3/4 of english native speakers are Americans.
Without USA, Spanish and Franch would surpas English internatianly.
I assume Terry knows English comes from England, or doesn't he?
I remember that back in the 1980ies, a friend of my parents, who is a concert musician, was on a concert tour in the U.S.. When they arrived in Philadelphia, NJ, they decided to go for an evening walk to downtown Philadelphia to pay the Liberty Bell a visit. They got arrested for loitering, because the police could not fathom how someone in his right mind takes the burden of walking from the hotel to the town center as the hotel surely was able to get a cab for them.
i used the PT in Philly a lot, been the only white guy for months....
wich is kind of strange, because back home, there been only white people using the PT system!
So what did they get arrested for walking is not a crime. Also the bell isn't in new jersey and no one gets arrested for just that.
"you can choke on it"
......thing is..... You can't..... They are LITTERALLY too big to fit in a kids mouth/throat and they have holes in them which prevents the "pokeball problem" of them getting stuck onto kids faces like cups or bottles or cans can.
They are LITTERALLY safer to hand to a kid than it would be to hand them a cup of water.
You LITTERALLY have to be an adult, for the kinder surprise to ACTUALLY be a choking Hazzard.
And if you choke on one as an adult, ITS YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT.
The freaking foil they come wrapped in the the only REAL choking Hazzard for kids, as it can be made into a little ball JUST small enough to cause damage.
All that is true except for one thing:
Americans. They will find a way.
They will always find a way.
Cars wouldn't have to suddenly stop more often. In countries without jaywalking laws you still can't just step out in front of a car, you have to wait for a gap and cross safely. These rules are followed by 99% of people because most people don't want to get hit by a car. The few people who don't care and don't cross safely likely would have just jaywalked anyway.
You're missing the historical aspect of it when cars first started being used people walked in the streets all the time. When they became more popular many car owners were upset at the people in the streets. Car owners tended to have money and influence and got j walking to be illegal. J walking comes from slang of the times.
Lmao Mr Terry took the ban on lawn darts very personally. I loved that whole segment
Mr Terry, probably: gimme lawn darts or give me death
If you mean the cheesemite cheese called mimolette this is not actually banned officially its banned when the cheese has a too high percentage of living mites which often is the case, its a very rare cheese to see in the U.S.A but it is there. Also Cazu Martzu not only the U.S.A has banned it, most countries did.
I am from the UK and when I was a young child in the early 90s, I started eating Kinder eggs and never choked on anything inside a Kinder egg like the capsule or whatever was inside it.. 27:48 There has been a lot of reports on Rugby and its negative effects such as concussion and brain injuries (also heading the ball in Football also causing brain injuries) so having the kind of padding like a helmet might be a good thing, if you don't do things like tackle harder just because you feel safer as you have the padding compared to not having it.
I've yet to see any comments posted by anyone who didn't survive it.
I'm also going to point out bigger cars make people feel safer and act more violent because they're bigger than the cars around them. Think giant SUV/pick-ups.
@@IIITheDeadGamerIII SUVs are also significantly harder to see from the inside of because no thought was given to sight lines. I got forced into one about 2 years ago and it's been very frustrating. I'm now dependent on tiny inset convex mirror to check my left side blindspot because the windows are at a flat angle to the driver's sight line, making them almost completely opaque. And it's not like people want them, people buy them because that's what we're given the option to buy. There are no American reasonably sized pickups and sedans have been relegated to the back lot and discontinued despite high sales all the while we're told "people want SUVs".
@@Merennulli yeah, it's an effort by car companies to make Americans spend more and make shittier cars. I see the same thing happening here in NZ.
Giant cars are becoming an increasingly bigger problem, and I really hope governments start regulating against them.
Making cities walkable with robust public transport would help too!
LOL - "You know how America is the best, look at all this stuff written in English"... Ah sarcasm... America doesn't even have it's own language! England is number 1 on language...
I remember the old crackerjack box that had a toy in a separate compartment.
I heard that jaywalking concept appeared after pedestrians called fast and bad drivers joyriders.
In my country (Ukraine) jaywalking is fined by 255 UAH ($8.25). Jaywalking means "crossing a road with more than 3 lanes in every direction or not on the crosswalk if it is visible or where the fence is installed".
I have definitely read somewhere that the width of the road directly corralates with speeds due to subconscious decisions by the driver. Narrower roads and streets leads to lower speeds, regardless of the set speed limit.
The problem with the arguement that cities in America were build post car and industrialisation, in comparison to Europe, is that much of European cities were also build after industrialisation and post car, as per two world wars that flattened plenty of cities in the mid 20th century.
Of course you do have a point, but I definently also think there has been alot of lobbyism from the car industry to make sure you have two parking lots for every car, and laws regarding restrictions of pedestrians and pedestrian infrastructure.
Also, it's not like walking seized to exist when the car was invented, although again you do have a point that the US did not have the preceeding hundreds if not thousands of years of infrastructure, historical districts etc. To combat the car industry in the legal realm.
Well, that's nonsense. Canada build its cities the exact same way than the US did, and jaywalking is 100% legal there without it causing any significant issues. The code is fairly simple: in case of accident involving a pedestrian, the driver is (almost)always at fault because they are the one operating dangerous machinery. Speed limits are relatively low in where people would actually jaywalk, so if you can't brake on time, you are driving too fast.
Jaywalking is no longer banned in California. On January 1, 2023, jaywalking became legal in California but pedestrians are still responsible for their own safety while crossing the road. Crossing at a marked or unmarked intersection or crosswalk is still the safest way to get across.
As a Dane I can assure you Denmark is real. Sweden however is just an ikea version of a country.
Yeah Norway havent heard about the bloody swedes, thats just throwing all their woodwork around all over the world like they just dont care either o.O
16:50 Falling off the playground onto the sand and getting the wind knocked out of you is how you learn to respect gravity. Also, the brats at the bottom of the plastic slides that will zap you with static electricity.
if you had seen the playgrounds i used in my youth, the avg American would wonder why i am still alive,
also my extensive use of my bicycle, for going to school, swimming and visiting friends in villages around my town..
we even drove to a nearby city...at the age of 12!
i never got stopped by a cop in my youth!
if i recollect right, i got only stopped by cops while driving a vehicle....
never been ask for my ID in my entire live without traffic stop!
and funny thing is, no arrest, a few fines and never got a gun pulled on me...
what would be a reason to file a complaint about the cop and him/her getting in serious trouble!
our cops have 3 years training, not 6 weeks on the shooting range like in the USA!
2:46 That's also why you can't buy a king cake with the baby inside it, it has to be on the side with some Mardi gras beads
I've never seen a king cake that DIDNT have the baby inside it.
@@stapuft around to where I live in St. Louis, you can't get one with the baby. Like you can make one yourself the ones in the grocery store have it on the side with some beads.
Fortune cookies aren't a problem for the FDA because, even though the paper inside isn't food, a small child could eat it and they're unlikely to choke on it, and it's not going to hurt their digestive system either.
Although I'm a Libertarian, I'm so glad our government bans cheese with maggots in it!
Right-Wing libertarian or Left-Wing libertarian?
@@goldenvulture6818 Like most Libertarians, I lean right on fiscal issues, and left on social issues. The Libertarian credo goes something like, "You can do anything you want between consenting adults that doesn't involve force or coercion on others." I don't agree 100% with Libertarians, though. I see good in some limited social safety nets, and recognize that some abuse will occur because of that.
So as a libertarian you wouldn't approve consenting individuals the right to enjoy that if they wanted to?
@@mandoperthstacker I don't agree 100% with the libertarians on everything. I do believe there should be health and safety regulations.
I think it's ridiculous. Don't want it? Don't buy it. Government shouldn't be making that choice.
It’s Kyle’s mom fault.
I think the developing after industrial revolution is not the main reason why US is so car reliant and cities so unwalkable. I used to assume that too, but it is not that simple. When you look at old pictures from the 50s and older, the cities are much more walkable and roads much smaller. Most of it has to do with development of suburbs (which started in the 50s). Everything was suddenly much more spread out and the cities changed a lot. Many poor housing neighbourhoods were levelled to make more space for roads and parking lots, which made everything even more spread out creating a feedback loop of needing even bigger roads and more parking lots and so on.
And even sadder is that the development of suburbs had many reason, but one of those reasons was racism. I recommend to look up more about it, it's very interesting.
My take on this, as someone who is slightly older than you, I do not know... Young people should be kept away from smoking, or any other substance abuse... But, since nobody want the police to arrest every teenager here and there, I don't know...
LegalEagle either misunderstood or oversimplified the Dutch law.
We don't *specifically* have a law against "jaywalking" and we don't have a word for it, but pedestrians are expected to follow the traffic laws:
- walk on your designated paths (sidewalk, pedestrian path [that exists here], bike path [if there is no sidewalk or pedestrian path, so long as you don't disrupt bikes]
- only cross on the designated spots (unless there are none)
- only cross if the light is green (if there is a pedestrian traffic light)
Failure to do so can result in a fine, especially if it causes an accident or disrupts traffic. You won't be fined for "jaywalking", but you *will* be fined for breaking the respective traffic law.
Jaywalking is the term given to that particular infraction of the traffic code. You're just not understanding Leagle Eagle's point. 'only cross on the designated spots (unless there are none)' This is actually what's being talked about. In the U.S. if there's no crosswalk, you're expected to walk to the closest intersection with a crosswalk to cross the road. Any sort of crossing not at a designated area is considered 'Jaywalking.' The point Legal Eagle is making, is that in a lot of places in the U.S. Crossing the road in places where it's not designated can potentially result in getting a fine, regardless if it's safe or not.
Isn't jaywalking illegal most places? It's illegal here in Canada lol.
@@LGBTQLegendIn most of Europe it's a traffic violation. But if you look the list of all the countries, it's a minority of nations.
@@tylerbarse2866Difference in not using the term but considering it a traffic violation is that pedestrian can be guilty party in case of "collision". In my country simply endangering the pedestrian on crosswalk looses you a driver's license. On the flipside, out of crosswalk pedestrian is on the hook if you crash the car off road trying not to hit the pedestrian - provided you haven't make any traffic violations yourself and you made a reasonable effort not to hit the pedestrian.
Terry: Imagine playing cricket
Me: way more cool than the NFL and Major League Baseball and NBA combined.
The first international cricket match was held in New York, against a Canadian team.
Canadian here. I remember as a kid we had a game called "Cream". It involved a floating fish net buoy found on our beach. One guy would somehow be picked or volunteer to get the Buoy first and the goal was to chase him down and hit (or cream) him as hard as you could and take the Buoy. So then you become the one chased and tackled with no mercy. I guess the goal of the game was to not die. After this and no major injuries and other dumb things we did, I have to ask "how did we survive?"
WISCONSIN MENTIONED!!!!!! This is a moment in history
From what I understand most of the staples like Cashew Chicken are even American-Asian inventions rather than being direct importation of traditional recipes
Imagine banning kinder eggs but not guns that kill children.
The guns don't kill the children.
@@ozarkscarguy540 neither do eggs
Maybe attempts to ban guns would be more successful if the claim was that bullets are a choking hazard for children.
My dad had a federal gun dealer permit and had dozens of guns around our house, many loaded. Even with 3 boys that got up to a lot of nonsense, we never once touched his guns without his permission and guidance. We were way more afraid of him than the guns. Hundreds of guns went through that house, and not one shot ever fired. No one was ever beaten to death with a hammer or baseball bat, but we had those around, too. No difference.
@@Out-Of-Service number one children killer in the USA are guns right now.
This video was hilarious. I'm already subscribed to Legal Eagle, so of course I'm excited to see what someone else thinks of Devon and his presentations. I get the distinct feeling today that when Mr. Terry woke up, he chose violence, and the lawn darts rant was that violence in action. XD
Why on earth would you use your phone whilst driving??? It's illegal in the UK thankfully!
Stupid people do it all the time i call them addicts because if you can't put your phone down for a little while to drive you have a problem and i mean most cars have Bluetooth now so you don't even need to hold your phone.
You wanna know what is legal here in Europe? Trespassing. To be precise: An landowner cannot call the police if you cross his undeveloped land as long as you are just walking and behave, so no littering, no damaging crops. In Norway you are even allowed to camp on private owned, not developed land.
Love your vids! Keep doing what you do!
Kinder eggs being illegal in the US is a very well-known fact (and source of ridicule) here in Italy, especially considering all the chemical stuff in US chocolate which has got to be far more hazardous than any capsule toy.
Jaywalking is a little more complicated however. It's true that you are not committing a crime when crossing where you shouldn't, but you are still encouraged not to cross with a red traffic light for example, and to use zebra lines if possible. I believe if an accident occurs when you were "jaywalking", you'd be considered partially culprit and get less compensation money from the driver who hit you since it was partially your fault. Even in that case it's very much a case by case scenario, depending on car speed, use of mobile phone, dynamic of the accident etc.
So, jaywalking isn't illegal everywhere in America, mostly just the East coast and California.
bonus fact: there's only really one chemical in US chocolate that's not used in chocolate in other countries, and it's the reason British chocolates taste cheap to us and our chocolates taste cheap to Brits. As for me, I just prefer like those 85% cacao solids dark chocolates, they never taste cheap and don't have that chemical in them.
@@KamiNoBaka1 best chocolate I had in the US was at the Museum of Native American History, high cocoa % and natural ingredients, expensive but VERY good. On the flipside I had to throw away the service station kit-kats after one bite as they tasted nothing like chocolate, I suppose due to having much less cocoa (10% compared to 25% if I remember right). I'm quite well-travelled and that might have been the worst chocolate I've ever tasted.
Kinder Surprise eggs (the ones with the toys inside) have all the same ingredients as the largest brands of US chocolates. Whatever "chemicals" you're concerned about are in the eggs we ban.
Italy also produces milk chocolate with those same ingredients. Based on how you phrased that, I think you're trying to compare milk chocolate to cioccolato di modica, which is about like comparing someone in the US eating spaghetti marinara to someone in Italy crunching on dry pasta.
@@Merennulli nope, comparing kit kat with kit kat. The same product tasting completely, immensely, vastly different in the US than in Germany, UK, Italy, Scandinavia, Belgium, Japan etc etc. There's entire youtube channels on the topic BTW. Also it's not only about the ingredients, but also about the % of each ingredient.
@@DragonShiryu The point was the "chemicals" you were fearful of. Of course they taste different with different ratios of ingredients. Though Kit Kat flavor differences aren't because of chocolate. They literally have county specific flavors added to them.
As a teacher, what do you do if you see a student on their phone during class?
Jaywalking was such an odd concept to me growing up. You'd hear it on TV and such but it made no sense to me what it was, since where I grew up, crosswalks just were not a thing that existed outside of school zones.
Then its not jaywalking, its only jaywalking where there is crosswalks nearby but you dont use them.
I'm confused about the premise... can someone clarify? Freedom- is it just the ability to do anything? Like "not being able to steal" is an infringement on my freedoms?
Freedom is the ability to do good... right?
"To remove the hinderences so that I can do the right thing" (that would be actual freedom right?)
Sounds like treason to me
I loved watching your indignation on this one, but really, I think he chose the worst examples to make his point. As an Aussie, and hearing about lawn darts for years, I am surprised at how small they are. For years, I thought they were about (searches for that other form of measurement) 2 feet long. Jay walking is a stupid concept, sorry. And Kinder Surprise eggs are vile, and people buy them and throw the chocolate away. Also, they are ridiculously overpriced garbage, and the rest of the world should ban them.
If you walk across a road where there's no crosswalk, the cars will have the right of way. But if there's a crosswalk, the cars have to let you pass. This way people tend to use the crosswalk on larger roads and when there's a lot of traffic. In other words, when the risk for accidents is high people use the crosswalks but not when the risk is lower.
Listening to this while gaming and just heard suddenly "The US ban on cloves", but thought he meant clothes XD I was like "Ayo what? Now you've got my attention."
I'm Italian. My doctor told me to cut back on cheese. I told him I will find a new doctor.
An essential freedom that the US lacks is the freedom to roam (as a pedestrian). It has fascinating historical roots with landownership and feudalism vs. the rights of landless plebs. When Europeans came to the US to become landowners, in their heads they often became feudal lords, but without the compromises and "noblesse oblige"- mindset developed over the centuries in Europe.
Menthol cigarettes were not originally banned because the black community is the main consumer of menthol cigarettes. it was such a racial issue that menthol was exempt.
I live in Australia which is a similar size to the US, has wide open spaces, a high percentage of car drivers and is also a relatively young country. Our cities and towns are walkable with footpaths for pedestrians and often bike paths as well. We have jaywalking laws but they only apply within 20 metres of a pedestrian crossing. Drivers do keep an eye out for pedestrians knowing they can cross pretty much anywhere and using a mobile phone while driving is illegal. Kinder Surprise eggs are legal. We have restrictions on some foods coming into the country but they are based on environmental biohazards, designed to keep pests and diseases we don’t have from entering and contaminating our animals and crops and destroying our export industry. I’ve never seen a lawn dart and I’m 73, I guess they just weren’t considered as much fun as hula hoops and pogo sticks when it came to imports.
not being allowed to leave your kids alone up until the age of 14 puts an immense stress on the parents. also kids basically cannot get around by their own because of the car oriented infrastructure. this is much much worse for freedom than banned "kinder eggs".
The kinder surprise thing is ridiculous. One of my favorite things growing up.
The same thing that applies to American Football vs Rugby or Australian Rules Football also applies to boxing vs bare-knuckle boxing. The gloves allow the fighters to hit each other in the face indiscriminately causing way more head-injuries. Normally, you have to limit your hitting someone in the face because the bones of the skull are way tougher than the ones in your hand, so you are likely to break something if you hit too much or too hard.
As a Swede, I would guess that our laws about jaywalking work in roughly the same way in practice. While, no, it's not strictly illegal to cross the road here (outside of dedicated crossings, of course), I'm fairly certain you'd still be held liable if you caused an accident while doing so. I obviously can't speak for the American legal system but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked more or less the same across the pond. I can't believe that police picks up everyone that crosses the road when there are no cars around but if there are cars around and those cars get into an accident because of a jaywalker, the chance of them getting arrested probably skyrockets.
Basically, causing accidents is presumably illegal everywhere. Exactly how the law is written to make sure that pedestrians can be held liable is just slightly different between different countries.
As someone from a country with a culture of stopping (within reason) to let a pedestrian cross the road even if there isn't a crossroad there, I can say that it can be really scary to go to a country where that isn't the culture. I haven't been to the US specifically but I've been to other places in Europe where that has not been the case and it can make getting to the other side almost impossible. I was once in Montenegro and there was a parking lot on one side of the road and all of the restaurants etc on the other side, with no road crossing anywhere to see. The road culture there seemed to be that, if a driver sees someone trying to cross the road, they just floor it in order to pass before them instead of slowing down slightly (or even just keeping their current speed). That almost got me run over since the drivers of the two cars coming at me from opposite sides both decided to gas up in order to zip past me. The rear-view mirror of one of the cars missed me by only a couple of inches.
And just to be clear, it wasn't a highway or anything. Just a small one-lane beachside road. Crazy experience!
I love this video. The comedic level is through the roof
The same logic behind banning lawn darts then should be applied to bicycles. As a child in a very small town I knew kids who were killed riding their bike. I would want to say way more kids who end up in the ER per year for injuries from bikes than lawn darts, even back in 1988 when they were banned
Sounds like some dumbass kids, probably best they aren't around to bother normal people.
By that logic, we should ban everything that a kid has ever died from. Keep them in a padded cell locked up.
"...oh, and segregation."
I did a literal spit-take.
The meggot cheese and the birds are both illegal in most places, thank goodness. As for French food, it's more disgusting than American food.
24:44 seems a lot of the pointless laws we are stuck with are the result of politicians and lobbyist.
Isn't every law the result of politicians and lobbyist?
@@sirheathen Probably in the modern day short of large social pressure, they usually have some stuff slipped in the 1000 pages none of them ever read
A lot of this is basic safety stuff, although the kinder egg thing is stupid. Also a male Karen is a Karen.
So my takeaway from this is that if you don't like it or don't agree with it then it's ok to make it illegal
It is a bit ironic that when a couple of kids die to the misuse of toys, there's a big movement to get the toys banned, but when thousands of kids die to firearm misuse, that's completely fine.
Mr. Terry saying "poops out some other butt cheese" made my entire day today!
Imagine the horror if a child ever got their hands on a firearm and accidentally shot their family members or themselves? That would never happen in the US right?
I bet it would be illegal for adults to import firearms into the house due to childsafety if Kinder Surprise was made illegal. 😢
Fortune cookies don't give fortunes. They say useless non commital stuff. I don't even bother to read them anymore.
Maybe they kept getting sued when the old fortunes didn't come true.

This video's great, love the bit.
Of course America is not the freest country. Women in some states are even forbidden from making decisions, concerning their own bodies, livelihoods and (sometimes) lives.
I'm surprised that this wasn't mentioned, as it infringes on human rights and isn't just some product being banned, or having stricter rules.
Pretty sure the original video predates the Dobbs decision.
As a non-American who did live there one year, I never tried lawn darts, but foxtail was pretty cool. Also those volleyballs that are attached to a pole with a string or a chain, was fun.
it's not just when your cities developed that is the reason, it's also how they were regulated when they did, and they way they are laid out makes them hard to make public transport for.
zoning regulation for housing also plays a huge part there.
btw, decriminalizing jay walking does not give pedestrians right of way, or the right to cause dangerous situations, just makes it not criminal to cross the road (can still be illegal, or only legal under certain conditions)
I always struggle to understand FDA's policies. On one side, like you said, they act like a Karen and freak out about some mites in your cheese but on the other, they let you eat food with chemicals they know are bad for you and only when something bad happen then they act. And here in Switzerland, jaywalking is still illegal but at least here in Geneva, nobody seems to care!
Mr. Terry, Fortune cookies originated in the city of Chinatown, San Francisco.
On Jaywalking. In Norway you can legally cross a road where ever you want(does not apply to highways obviously).. However, you are not permitted to get in the way of a car. But if the car hits you, the driver of the car is in default at fault unless you acted reckless, like unpredictably ran out in the road.
I still have original Lawn Darts. Not illegal to own, but they are to sell. My neighbors do not know the difference and called the police on me when they saw me and a friend playing. We were in out late 30s at the time
We definitely need to find better ways to address all the traffic violence in the US. I'm not sure that making jaywalking legal would help, but it may be worth a try. I'd hope that drivers would pay more attention if they were sharing streets with pedestrians.
Guns are allowed, and essentially unregulated. Lawn darts are completely banned. Ah yes... makes sense. Could I make the lawn dart to also be a firearm and therefore legal?
You’ve got to watch the old school British show Blackadder, you’d love it
Just to point out, in case you didn't know- EVERY canned product on shelves today has an allowable percentage of bug parts per serving in the US. Search it up if you think I'm full of it.
jaywalkihg ,we call it crossing the road
Teach you and I are around the same age 😂 but the big one we grew up with that had a Toy in it was Cracker Jack's.
28:30 You should have a look into Gaelic Football, which is not played with any protective gear at all (o.k. clothing and shoes are protective gear too if you want to be nitpicking). Gaelic football by the way is very close to the game before it branched into the Rugby/Football and Soccer types of games.
I was in heaven when I spent a few weeks in Germany and got to eat all the kinder eggs and crazy cheeses that I wanted. I was so sad when I had to leave the open market lunch buffets with all their freshly baked bread and illegal-in-the-US cheese. European cheese is so much better!
Greetings from Germany 🍻 🥨
@@arnodobler1096 Guten Tag! Wei geht es Ihnen? Und bitte gib mir deinen Käse! 🧀 🇩🇪
Also, I love your country. It’s beautiful, and the people I met were all very welcoming. (Apologies if I messed up any of the German, but it’s been many years since I was fluent.)
@@thunderatigervideo Danke, mir geht es gut, und dir? Dein Deutsch ist gut.
@@arnodobler1096 Danke. Mir geht es auch gut. Was ist “autocorrect” auf Deutsch? Mein Telefon ändert meinen deutschen Wörter. 😆
@@thunderatigervideo Autokorrektur, macht mein Telefon auch, bei Englisch.
That dad who ruined the lawn darts is nowhere as bad as the father who ruined Halloween by poisoning his children's candy!!!
Here in Finland jaywalking is kind a "it's in the law books but no one cares" kind of thing. Technically, there is a law where if there is a street crossing within "a reasonable distance" (basically viewing distance as I've understood it) you have to use it or risk a fine for jaywalking, and if there isn't you can legally cross the street wherever. But in practice I've never seen or heard from any source ever that anyone has ever actually gotten a fine for not following that law.
When I was a kid there was gravelly sand underneath the playground equipment for the kindergarteners, 1st and 2nd grade (and some of their 'playground equipment' were actual old, gigantic tires from construction equipment or something). Meanwhile, if you were in 3rd-6th grade, there was asphalt under the monkey bars and other playground equipment.
"Look at all this stuff written in English"... yeah, you can thank England for that.
Norwegians eat more tacos per person than Mexico. Over all they don't consume as many but per person they consume more.
American: look it's norway with a english signs.
England: ummmm hello
As your face is settled by about 1000 mites per square inch, a few more mites in your cheese won't kill you.
A 1m baguette is 90 centimes. A round of decent brie or camembert or coulommiers is a couple of euros. I fucking love living in France.
Definitely using "America's hat" for Canada
“Americas best! Look at all the stuff written in ‘English’ !😂😂😂
do you think you'll react to the wizard and warrior videos, especially the alternative history video on the mongol invasion of europe?
as long, my 17 years old daughter is allowed to drink beer in public, i call my country more free as the USA can ever be!
The lawn darts should be banned. They are lethal.
The maggoty cheese was banned by the EU, no fun and maggot-related illnesses and deaths are allowed!
It sucks because kids are stupider now because the parents don’t do enough.
You can have top tier education but if the parents aren’t trying then you’re just gonna be dealing with stunted mental growth.
