All of that is the same here in Germany. Check out the stats on home ownership here… But oh man are the kids flipping to the AfD (far right nazi party) quick and in huge numbers. It’s scary to see.

For me things were not in meters or feet but hours driven. From my home town the nearest stoplight was 1.5 hours away by car. This is also the closest chain restaurant (like McDonald’s or simular). We had a school bus, but other than that no public transit. The next town over (15 minutes) has a supermarket.
Oregon too, last I knew at least.
Pumpkin spice banana sounds good actually.
Really? I didn’t know that?! Super cool and thx for commenting! Do you have any more info on this (something I can read somewhere)?
Also… I don’t know if I ever will have an opportunity like this again… I would love a feature like I had in RIF (Reddit is Fun), and that is to be able to collapse all child comments in the comment section! It removes a lot of clutter and you can then expand the child comments when you want more on that topic. I use Jebora for lemmy for reference.
Very true. Lemme is reddit… Or how reddit was when it was good. They liked reddit then for the same reason I did and why I don’t use it and why we are here.
It’s more about people most people don’t know who are here unless you tell them rather than you’re data being secure. A different feeling then when posting with your real name and with all of you irl friends following you
On here I have no friends, no connections, and my irl name is not attached to my account. So closer to anonymous than for example Facebook. It’s harder for just any user to track down things about specific users.
lemmy is nich but not advanced nor hard to use. I like it because it’s super simple. The point has nothing to do with Germans being able to use lemmy, but rather they did not start off using other programs or apps (z.B. MySpace Facebook) in the 90s and early 2000s as soon as other people like Americans. When these apps started they were great and had no negative feelings to them. When Germans came around to start using them in larger numbers, they already had negative issues. So they never started with these apps like others did in other countries. This is likely very different for you, as you are much younger. All of this stuff existed already when you were coming into adulthood.
sounds like you have a great friends group. I also have many experiences with German people who speak English very well… As well as many who can’t. I have both English and German only speaking friends. I spoke nearly zero german when I came here. It’s hard. Cashier at rewe, anyone working at Bauhaus, nearly anyone in the small town I was first in. Some cities aren’t much better. Some of my employees speak zero functional English and they are young. There is nothing wrong with that, but there is a big difference in Germany and somewhere like Holland.
To try and answer the question of why so many of them. Please note this is broad generalizations:
german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook… Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.
they also are and have been technologically behind in many ways. Bringing them slower to other platforms that they would have started off on, making it so they didn’t use any. Ignorance and fear of technology and privacy fear combined with being technologically slower meant they were going on other platforms in a time when the platforms were getting known as “bad, mentally harmful, data mining & selling machines”.
English language skills are lower in Germany (outside of Berlin). Many tourists don’t see this as they go to touristy things (hotels, attractions) where they speak English. It is easy in platforms like this or reddit to be in a German speaking bubble. People who speak lots of English like their neighbors the Dutch, would more likely just post in English as everyone can then understand it.

Herding… Snails?! I only know one snail, and she doesn’t get herded anywhere.

There is a lot of good books (or audio books) I could suggest. This has been also a interest in mine. The reasons are different and also the same. Many of the top comments touch on some of the points.
Super interesting, I would assume California has a good amount of electric cars? But where are emissions from cattle / other farm animals / agriculture?
*Du… Benutzen wir Sie hier wirklich?
Any thoughts on TLDR (Youtube channel)?
Haha, yeah, I’ve worked in a place that did that in Oregon. But they had bomb vinegar cured anchovies though.
Well… As I said… You wouldn’t see them as they are pureed into the dressing. Like in worcestershire sauce most people don’t know it’s there. But It is a normal item in the dressing weather you or dad knew about it. I was trained in Portland Oregon as a chef, and was a chef in every corner of the states. Literally, including Hawaii. In addition I have also traveled like your dad. I have a tattoo on my side of 26 countries that I was in for a month or more… Cooking and making this thing we are talking about. Not in just one region somewhere. 😂 But you don’t have to take my word for it. Look it up.
“Modern recipes typically include anchovies as a key ingredient” from Google when looking it up.
Note after reading your comment again. You wouldn’t see them in the salad as they are blended into the dressing.
Is that obsolete or obscure (in German speaking areas)?
