11:55 It's just a fancy looking radiator. It operates the same. It has the same connectors. It has the same knobs to regulate. It even costs about the same as a normal radiator. Whenever you build a bathroom, just order a towel rack radiator instead of a normal one!
Most Houses in the US apperently don't use Radiators, they use air for haeting.
Carpet is pretty rare, because it's hard to keep clean. Usually it's either laminated fake hard wood, ceramic tiles, real hard wood, or natural stone, depending on what you can afford.
I am German and 25 years ago (oh boy, I am getting old) I used to live in the USA for four years. Before we left I bought a book about baking bread and I already had some about baking in general, and some of the first things I did was learning how to bake proper bread and cake 🤣 Maybe give baking bread a try, for the simplest version it is just some flour, water, yeast, salt and a tiny bit of sugar (starter food for the yeast), mix/knead it, let it rise, knead again (I used my kitchen machine for the kneading, I am a lazy baker 😋), let it rise again, put it in the oven and you´re done. 😎 Once you try it, you don´t want to go back 😁
You can also grow your own vegetables. But the "luxury" to Americans would to be able to buy it cheap and close to your home and in a great variety, like we are in Europe, instead of using your time to make all the things yourself.
In a bread box fresh bread can last 2 weeks aswell but it doesn't survive that long because it's soooo good 😊
Bread shouldn't last longer than 3 days.... any more than that then it's the chemicals holding it together.
When I was a kid and my parents sent me to buy a fresh bread from the bakery, it didn´t even survive the way home!!!
Most heated floors are natural tiles, it takes the heat and disperse it naturally.
We usually have hard wood or laminate floors with tiles in the bathroom. Heated floors are the norm and there are decades since I was in a home with carpets. I know that in the UK carpets are more common. We Europeans feel sorry for you because of healthcare and work life balance. You are a great nation and it´s hard to understand why you allow yourself to be exploited, almost like slaves, by these big corporations and greedy buissinesmen and have to work 50-70 hours a week just to make ends meet having to work 2 or 3 jobs, which is unheard of here in Europe. It´s like the USA are only respecting and are only catering to the rich and powerful. Modern slavery coming close to what India has become with an extreme attitude to a class system, even creating an religion to make sure the poor doesen´t rise up and take back their true power. God bless from Norway.
I agree with you. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Its gone on for waaay to long.
@@americangirlreacts It´s not fair or just, you deserve better!
For the first time, I heard the comparison with the work-life balance in relation to low-income jobs and management level. In Germany, it's the other way around! The less you earn, the less the boss can demand of you. It is only at the management level that private life and work life mix. Or rather, it is expected that you will no longer make a real cut between private and professional, after all, you have the responsibility and also the financial compensation. At least in my experience.
🤯 Poland here, and I can confirm all of these are relatively, or even very common in Europe. It is here and in every country I've been to.
What's up with paper plates... I guess I can see that it saves time if you throw a lot of parties and have to clean it by hand. But here most people have dishwashers so loading it doesn't take much time at all. Are dishwashers not common in the US?
Dishwashers are really common. I don't have one, but if I did my dishes would be done all the time. lol
When I have a Party I put the dirty stuff in the Dishwasher (more or less standard in homes in Europe) and start the 1h fast program. Faster than putting all the paper-plates into the trash bin.
... I personally would be alarmed if the bread lasts for two weeks: because what wicked chemistry would this sort of "bread" make it so...
Most people don't realize it lasts waaay longer than it should. I try to tell as many people as I can. No wonder we dont live very long. lol
In Poland, from a beekeeper, 1 pound of multifloral honey (450 grams) costs PLN 28 = $7 . Honey from other plant species, e.g. black locust, is a bit more expensive ($21 for 450 grams) . It is nonsense that pesticides are not used in the EU. The difference is that pesticides approved for use in the EU must first be independently tested to ensure that they cause minimal harm to humans. Another nonsense is the so-called organic food. In the EU, dozens of protection products can be used in its production (in the USA it will be worse), although it must be admitted that half of them are made from extracts of other plants and fungi . Underfloor heating is not unique in continental Europe. You need ceramic or stone floors. They are usually only found in bathrooms, toilets and kitchens (imitating wood).Floor panels are usually laid on the floor because laying wood on a heated floor is quite expensive because it must have a low shrinkage coefficient, e.g. oak, doussie, iroko or merbau, and be no more than 1.5 cm thick. We don't use carpets like in the USA. Carpets like in the USA are used only in the UK
You would have a tough time getting natural honey out of a bottle 😁.
Natural untreated and undiluted honey crystallizes after just a few days or weeks and is definitely no longer syrupy. It is more reminiscent of smooth peanut butter with embedded sugar crystals 😋.
The color also fades very quickly and is usually not as amber as most processed honey is. It is usually orange to pale yellow or almost white in color. The color depends entirely on which plants the local bees have gotten their pollen from.
You can melt crystallized honey in warm water. But don't hear it over 40 Celsius. There are no preservatives added. Honey can be stored over years without becoming bad.
Plates take 20 seconds to wash though? It’s glasses (god, wine glasses) and pots/pans/some special equipment that takes ages.
Heated flooring and heated towel rails have been 'normal' for over 40 years. I put them into my first house in 1984.
Thats craaazy. In 1984 we were still using carpet in the bathrooms.
We have used those paper plates for bigger parties, but for just the family we use our own plates. The paper plates are only when there are too many people which we don´t do that often. Otherwise we just go to the restaurant. Its popular to use wood or woodlike floors. We also have carpet floors or stone floors. It really depends on what you like. All is possible haha
I live in the Netherlands and we have mostly tile, wood or PVC (woodlike) floors and heating in the floor is very normal
What happens if the heater goes out? Do you have to rip the floor up?
@@americangirlreacts These are pipes with hot water or (I had such system) air circulating in them. After installation, concete is poured on them. In case of hot aIr (rare - look for swedish system called Legalett) the system is eternal. Only the heater, that is a small unit, may need repairing or replacing. However, the most popular systems are water based. If they are installed incorrectly, they may leak, but if installed correctly, they will work without problems or maintenance until the next main renovation (20-40 years).
Edit... anfd yes, if leaking occurs, the floor needs to be destroyed, at least near the place of leakage.
In the UK, bread, fruits and veg today costs, not sale prices, including tax - a watermelon would be £3.30 = $4.22, a 12 ounce bottle of honey is £1.09 = $1.40, 6 Gala apples are £1.49 = $1.90. Onions are 12p each = 15 cents. The cost of bread can be anything from £0.89 to £1.85, that's $1.13 to $2.37, decent bread, not stuffed with sugar or preservatives
3 apples for 1$ sounds cheap...
About bread: watch this: "How The U.S. Ruined Bread" by Jonny Harris
Second that video.
Gosh, imagine having to wash 20 plates! Takes about 5 mins.
lol, with the silverware too? I wouldn't want to but my water pressure sucks so it would take me an hour.
@@americangirlreacts That´s another problem America has: In Germany we fill up the kitchen sink with water and do the dishes there. In America you do the dishes under running water. What a wastefulness!
@@americangirlreacts Water preasure is higher here, I do dishes by hand daily for a 2 person household, takes me 10 minutes.
I do, however, understand where it comes from. If you have to work 7 days a week, when you are constantly busy with work, with thinking of work and carreer... you want to save time at home.
Another difference (at least where I live) It is save to drink tap water.
This is the most expensive bread I could find in Germany.
Pfister organic wholegrain sun
Rye-spelt wholegrain bread
2 kg /4,,4 lbs loaf € 17.80
Allergic to fruits: Has he been medically diagnosed or is it a self diagnosis (that he does not like fruits) ?
When I was in the U.S., I was really shocked how much fresh food costs. Yes, you can get a pound of bologna for 99 cents, but a pound of cherries will be $10.
what I do not get, why are chemicals produced items so cheap when you need so much more stuff to create s/th that looks like bread. for a good bread you need only a few flour, yeast, water, a pinch of salt and sugar, that's it. but looking at the back of these sliced breads, it looks like the dumpster of BASF. I think there is s/th going in a very wrong direction
Why would you handwash plates after a party? Don't you have a dishwasher?
Watermelons are currently on offer in Germany, but they are not realy cheap €1 for 1kg, because they have to be transported from Spain and cause bcs. of their weight some transport costs.
I just bought a nice beef roast piece for €9.99 per KG wich i will process to Beef Bourguignon. I also bought mushrooms €1.99 (500g), bacon €1 per 100g, some carrots and onions + 1/2 bottle of red wine €3 per litre + potatoes to make mash. With all the ingredients I get a maximum of €18 for a dish for 4-6 people. That's a maximum of €4 per person - I cant get very far with that at McDonalds & Co and what do I get there for the money in comparison.....

we always use paperplates for kids birthdays. We use it for barbecue and cake and at the end it goes to the rest
If we recycle the paper plate, then can it be okay? lol
@@americangirlreacts Only clean paper can be thrown into paper container. So used paper plates are not "paper" any more :(
16:50 Except in Papua new guinea and china .
probably north korea too.
Hardwood, and Heated floor and also a Towel heater.
The Bread last 2 Week because of all the chemicals in the bread.
168 Hours a Month and if I leave I give a shit about the company. They pay me for my Work, I work the best I can, but only in the time they pay me. End of Story.
Hi Amy, there are so many healty things to get out of nature, for free. Please take the time to surf the internet for edible wild plants.
And is it still free if you need to drive an hour and spend a day to find it?
Unions!
So why is fruits and vegetables so expensive in the US?
I have no idea. I know that something happened pretty recently about the farmers protest. Which always happens but they are losing more money because the" higher ups". Not sure about details but its hard to live as is.
Buy a bread machine
@itscharlievest
I think americans do not even know how real good bread tastes... Poor people!
We really don't. Its all about convenience.
In reality, healthcare is in the USA is better than in Europe if you pay about the same amount of money as in Europe every month. In Europe, it is only good for people who do not work. They are getting free healthcare because the working people are paying for them too, and they are paying higher tax for them too.
you talk utter BS, if this would be true, why you loose in every statistical figure regarding healthcare system in comparison to west europe
Not thru! Health care is free in all Scandinavian and Northen countries for everyone. You will pay an aministative amont of around 130 SKR sent by a bill.
You want to generalize healthcare in all of Europe? You know that every European country uses a different healthcare system? When it comes to Germany, the maximum monthly payment for healthcare is 421.77€ as of 2024 (double that for self-employed people). This gives you access to everything and co-pays are capped at very low levels (5...10€; except dentals). A similar US healthcare plan, for an equivalent amount of monthly payment, will give you access to healthcare in the US, but you'll not get away without heavy co-pays in the thousands of dollars. A healthcare plan for $450 also isn't going to give you much in the US. They are usually more expensive.
There might not be a significant difference, if you're healthy and only catch a cold or something minor over the course of a year, but there will be an extreme difference, if you got hit with something bad and need surgery. In Germany everything will be covered and your co-pays will be minimal, in the US you'll be in heavy debt - not even the ambulance will be covered for you. No to mention: unlimited sick leave. You can actually stay at home and recover and don't have to worry about your job or the amount of days you have left.
In Germany, employers also pay the same amount of money into health insurance for you. Also, it makes about $900 ($450x2) each month. On top of that, the German government also pays billions of euros in tax money into the healthcare system, which is also paid by working people.
That's a lot of money for Germany, since people do not earn as much as in the US.
I pay 310 euro per months for 2 adult in The Netherlands. Co-pay max 385 euro per year per person. We have access to ALL healthcare, just pay out of pocket for dental.
Your post is total BS
