Do Germans have a superiority complex over the English?
Because I overheard a German tourist in my home town of Brisbane saying Brisbane is surprisingly a very modern and nice city. Of course its modern and advanced you dumb fuck. We English created the modern world as you know it.
Yes of course, but the lion's share of the industrial revolution was catalysed by Britain, as were many of the important events like the fall of Napoléon
Jace Gray
hehe
Jaxson Clark
That's entirely wrong though, computers are Britain and America, phones were invented by a Scottish/Canadian/American, airliners by Britain and Canada, only cars are a Germanic invention on the list, and modern assembly line cars are the work of American Henry Ford.
Parker Butler
Most developments in electromagnetism (after it's discovery) came from Germans (Hertz, Helmholtz etc.).
Carson Kelly
Wrong, wrong and wrong. >making the production more efficient is making it yours
You what nigger? This way literally everything we have on this planet is a German invention.
Luis Kelly
Do Australians think they're English or are you just an expat?
i go by gene origin. why? because it would be silly not to.
Parker Rivera
You said modern, a modern car is a lot more similar to what Henry Ford was producing than what Benz made. What you're doing is the equivalent of saying that Ethiopia invented football or basketball, because the first known ball like object made from animal stomach was found there. It's a stretch
Jason Price
Which is why I said *after it's discovery*. Also Faraday was more important than Maxwell desu, Maxwell just wrote up Faraday's results into a field theory.
Landon Lee
They built better concentration camps than the English.
Christopher Robinson

Fun fact, most of your inventors were in fact, of Jewish, not German ethnicity.
The digital electronic computer was invented by Atanasoff, Turing just completed the theory behind it.
Jonathan Jones
They copied Empire concentration camps from the 2nd Boer War
Liam Anderson
I never said modern car, shithead. Also no such thing as a "modern" car. 4 wheels and a (German, Otto, Diesel, Wankel the choice is yours) engine. They just got bigger and heavier and got more saftey and luxus crap.
Tesla didn't invent wireless communication. That was arguably Hertz.
Ryan Brooks
Atanasoff *
Camden Long
I know, just they where more effective.
Charles Bell
as far as i know british housing standards are subpar compared to most 1st world countries and the infrastructure is ancient in many places.
Parker Jones
Not entirely, Tesla invented short-range wireless communication, Hertz used his patents to complete his vastly increase the range.
Colton Collins
You specifically said modern world, but fine, take the car, everything else I said still stands.
Matthew Anderson
Definitely, Germans are an efficient folk
Owen Taylor
No, the actual standards are some of the most strict and highest in the world.
Adrian Turner
Seeing how 70%of their housing was destroyed in ww2. I doubt that.
Brandon Rogers
Are you being hyperbolic or does American education teach that 70% of homes in Britain were destroyed during WWII? I honestly never know with you guys
Levi Wilson
that doesnt mean anything, many of those rules could be from 1950 + your cities have many old buldings while germans had to built everything new after ww2, so they have newer stuff and more of it built at the same time while you likely have a mix of buildings built in different times under different regulations.
Gabriel Cruz
We have that on our East coast and a bit in Québec. I think it's nice, I'd rather live in a 200 year old house converted into flats that might not have the legal amount of fire escapes or handicap accessibility but has tons of charm and history, than a shitty souless modern apartment complex.
Levi Ortiz
And every anglo country has German heritage. What's your point faggot? We wuz rome n shieet
Carson Peterson
We do have a mix of buildings built in different times, but they all have to comply with current regulations. If something isn't up to safety standards then it has to be made safe. There are many listed buildings which are protected because of historical importance, yet even these must be made to comply with regulations.
I've worked in the UK construction industry including refurbishment of listed buildings. I know how seriously these regulations are taken.
Noah Allen
No it's what the Brits say
Evan Edwards
>Maxwell just wrote up Faraday's results into a field theory >just It's a bit more complicated than that, lad. Maxwell combined a range of equations used to describe seperate phenomena into a few. It's recognised as a monumental work for a reason.
Joshua Gonzalez
Yeah I know, it was very advanced at the time but it would have been impossible without Faraday's extensive work.
Michael Brooks
ok
Angel Jones
These "who invented what" debates are just dumb.
For example, one of Norways biggest inventions, the practical gas turbine, probably wouldn't have been possible withouth previous versions.
This goes for all inventions. How plausible would the creation of the light bulb, a true scientific marvel, be without the discovery of the electric current in 1824? Etc.
Carson Barnes
The Ottomotor (4 stroke petrol) was invented by an Austrian called Reithmann.
Jaxson Rodriguez
>Phone >Car You're almost as bad as the Brazilians with their plane shit.
James Evans
What I remember from Britsh homes are, that they are very tiny, 2 floors (with a rediculously small stairway - how do you get furniture up there?), extremely hot/tiny radiators, pipes running on the outside walls, 2 water taps (ice and steam), no/grey colouring and to the left and right there are like 50 identical houses.
Xavier Sanchez
You're describing a pretty small fraction of British homes and some of those things sound very outdated.
For a start, terraced housing (i.e. properties adjoining both sides) constitutes approximately 20% of the UK housing stock. The majority are either detached or semi-detached.
Within the category of terraced housing a lot of it is much more spacious than you describe, contrary to the stereotype. Terraced townhouses in London can be very sought-after
Brody Williams
He was surprjsed because Australia is third world in a lot of aspects such as internet speed, energy sources and such.
Carter Garcia
...
Jacob White
Australia is, along with New Zealand, the Nordics/Scandis, Canada, and a couple Euro microstates, a heavyweight contender for the "best country on earth" to live in. These countries consistently rank in the top 10 of every single positive metric.
Internet speeds aside, Aussies live better on average than the vast majority of even 1st world countries.
Ethan Bennett
He probably heard a bad rumor about it but decided to put his faith in you and give it a chance, only to find nothing but compliments for it
I know it's in your blood but try not to be a cunt sometimes
Ayden Scott
>probably heard a bad rumor about it but decided to put his faith in you and give it a chance
This isn't uncommon of Euros in the New World save maybe famous American cities. I work in the tourism industry and hear it all the time, about how "suprised" Euros and even Americans are at how developed and nice Canada is. It's bad enough that I have a friend, who is dating a Yank girl, and her family is completely against it because they are sure he is just dating her in an effort to leave the hellhole that is apparently Canada, and get a green card out of her. They really are fucking insane.
Chase Thompson
"contender" is great and all but it's irrelevant and quickly forgotten when MERICA is named the winner.
Kayden Sanchez
>her family is completely against it because they are sure he is just dating her in an effort to leave the hellhole that is apparently Canada, and get a green card out of her.
Kek it's just like that Parks & Recreation episode
Cameron Parker
lmao stupid deluded """""""english"""""""
Camden Russell
I have watched P&R but I don't recall that episode. Was it about Eagelton?
Hudson Gutierrez
Dans canada l'anglais et francos vivre en perfect harmony.
Oliver Smith
Only their bathrooms, taps, heating, plumbing, electrical and deco.
Nicholas Gray
No it's about Tom's hot and rich wife, she married him for a greencard to move to the USA from Canada
Gavin Richardson
Germans are very ignorant of the world outside their country. When I visited, some people where surprised that we had internet down here.
They think they're too superior to care about other people, but they'll never confess. I'm glad the jews are keeping them under control, germanics are an inherently racist waroriented people and should be kept in check.
