You can pick up a coffee mug with a $9.99 price tag, then be asked to pay $10.74 at the register. The German mind cannot comprehend this

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 116 points 3 months ago (18 children)

Not any sane mind can comprehend this.

[–] DesolateMood@lemmy.zip 55 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I can comprehend it, but I'm certainly not happy about it

Not only can Americans comprehend it, they actively choose for it to be this way. Macys tried to switch to straight forward pricing and it did not go well for them so they switched back to their bs sales.

Imo it would only work here if everyone does it at the same time and if it’s implemented by legislation enforcing it. If one company does it, their competitors can take advantage of the perceived differences.

I stopped off in Oregon once for some McDonald's. My total ended up being $8.00 exactly and I let out a little smile and told the cashier 'wow perfect, what are the chances'

She looked at me like I was an idiot, and I learned some things about Oregon that day.

You’ve never heard of NASCAR. We are good at turning left for hours on end.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You've been turning right since at least '80...and you started far on the right already.

I really wanna know what they put in to Google to make it spit out that time estimate.

[–] wischi@programming.dev 27 points 3 months ago

Probably a scripted route.

They've started using traffic circles in my state. They work sooo much better than traffic lights at intersections.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago (8 children)

Roundabouts are even better.

2,219km is only 1,378mi… that’s about the distance from the southern tip of California to the top of Washington State. Not even the width of the US.

do germans move their cars like the flintstones or how do they manage to have fuel/battery for 74hrs?

Since you're in a roundabout, you just need a large funnel into the gas tank. Every time around, someone standing at the side pours a bit of fuel in while you pass, so you get a splash of fuel per lap!

You can fit 74 Germanys inside a Texas roundabout. The European mind cannot comprehend this.

Holy shit, they took the same route as my last bike tour!

America's been adopting roundabouts in the last decade.
