People drive worn out cars in poor condition in the US because you really can't work without a car in most cases. Telling people to take public transit is not an option.

[@dhmoto111]

I also have 5 cars/trucks. How many does that couple have? 0? 1? That makes a difference too. My 1946 or 1972, I don’t know how she would refer to those but regarding modern vehicles in rough condition, people can treat the lowest end of the used market as disposable cars.

[@Trifler500]

@@dhmoto111 That's a good point too. My neighbor has a "work beater" that he uses specifically because he doesn't have to care about the paint and such. Then he and his wife have "regular" cars where they actually do care.

[@garycamara9955]

My daughter built her own car. A 1918 Ford model T track roadster. She built the whole car including the frame. She drove it to school, an ignorant woman caused her to get a B because she couldn't understand what a rearend was. "This is my rearend (exploded drawing of a quickchange) "whats a rearend " "its my rear axle ", "whats an axle". The woman should have excused herself, she was incompetent to judge.

I also struggle with Feli’s view of the USA. I’m originally from Munich, Germany and lived all over the USA for a long time. I used to be scared of guns, but after being around them and educated myself, I too own a gun.

Good for you! That's awesome! I love to see people exercising their rights!

[@alfredosaenz3328]

Also I like to add that 99% of the time, the person carrying the handgun in the open are good people with no criminal background.

[@bookman7409]

@@alfredosaenz3328 More than 99% IMO, dear sir. I would put it as anyone toting a gun with criminal intent openly will be either about to use it or running like hell. If they're carrying casually, and show no signs of bad temper, it's basically a lock that there's no danger. Well, maybe if said armed bad guy with gun bursts in, but he's the one who brought the danger, and you're better off having someone around who has only one target, the bad guy. When seconds count, the police are just minutes away, which is a fact of life everywhere. Pardon me for the rant, but this anti-gun fetish in Europe strikes me as social programming, not anything rational and reasoned, to be limited in its scope. My late FIL was bitten by a cottonmouth going down the steps of his porch once, but while he survived that, where he lived, if he hadn't always kept shotguns at hand, it would have been happening several times per year for decades prior to that, and this was in a town! Talk to me about guns being totally unnecessary.

It's physically impossible to outrun a grizzly bear; a grizzly bear can reach speeds of up to 35 miles/hour or 56 km/hour. Don't know what they talking about; there are plenty of restaurants where you get food that is both healthy and delicious, and I live in the Midwest too.

[@summersands8105]

Grizzlies have been known to hit 40 mph. Black bears 30-35 mph. Either way and either one, you will not outrun it. The most interesting part about bears is that you're more likely to survive a grizzly attack than a black bear attack. You can do the play-dead thing with a grizzly but it never works with a black bear. If you get attacked by a black bear, do everything you can to fight back because that bear is out to kill and eat you. Don't try climbing trees either because both can come up the tree after you. They are also faster up the tree than you are.

[@franciet99]

Have you encountered any bears? I’m guessing the majority of Americans have only seen them in the zoos.

[@alexanderboukal5332]

@@franciet99 One time while hiking in Montana, my family and I came across two huge piles of bear poop; we quickly cleared out of the area and hiked elsewhere. Back in May, there was a bear sighted in the northwest part of the metro/twin cities area in Minnesota; the story was all over the news.

[@tobystevens3109]

@@franciet99 I've seen two in the woods and three or four from the car here in Pennsylvania. They didn't pay me no mind, but none was a mama with cubs, which they say is the dangerous type encounter. We have hunting season for bear they are so plentiful, but I haven't hunted them. Black bears, no grizzly bears here.

[@summersands8105]

@@franciet99 Yes. I live in black bear country in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains. I'm surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. I've encountered several, and have uncles, cousins, and friends who've also had encounters while hunting, fishing, and hiking or riding the 4-wheelers. The one incident that scared the crud out of me was when it was just after dusk and I was on my back porch with my iPad. I thought I saw movement at the edge of the woods, stopped and looked harder at the spot, and didn't see anything. Went back to watching my iPad and this time heard the breathing. Looked up and here it was coming right at me. Couldn't have been more than 20 feet from me, a very large bear. I jumped up and ran into the house. The bear was a bit startled but didn't run off. It just veered off to the left, sauntered back across my bridge, and went on down the road. I don't think the bear realized a human was there. They have very poor eyesight and I don't think it smelled me at all as there was a slight breeze coming at me. I think it was interested in the flashing lights from my iPad and was coming to investigate. It looked like a young bear and it was very tall at the shoulders. Usually, my dog sits out with me, but he passed away. He would have immediately alerted to the bear and the bear probably would have stayed in the woods and just passed by. I've since put in better lighting so that they can't get that close without being seen. That truly gave my ol' heart a jump start...lol

[@ramseywilliams5087]

The reason many Americans don't flock to the parks in good weather, is because we mostly have large lots with gardens and lawns and other outdoor stuff like grills and swimming pools in our own back yards.

[@shellbell40]

Very good point, plus depending on what time of year it is, kids have school and after-school activities, people might be working, etc. In my area, the park will look deserted at certain times of the day and busy at other times.

[@tbergstrom4599]

It depends where in the USA you are. There are many places full of parks where you can walk to them and families gather. But I think the major reason is that a lot of us have large yards of our own with pools and so we don't need a park .

[@n7y8c7]

Right. Where I grew up, we had acres. So unless there was an event, we rarely went to the park. We could easily go outside to play.

[@monkeyweather]

Even in Southern California no one goes to local parks except to walk their dogs. But the Mexican community quite likes them for big family parties. Even then, though: most will host big gatherings in their back yard. Complete with Mariachi bands

We don’t see many broken cars in a Texas because most of Texas doesn’t get the snow.

[@tenofivelips]

Don't have many broken cars in Massachusetts and we use salt.

[@barbparknavy9119]

and a lot of people in Ohio save their "nice" cars for good weather and drive their "beater" in the winter so if it gets in an accident in the snow & ice, it's no big deal. Another reason for less than pristine cars is that cars are expensive and when you are going to school and not making much, it is all you can afford--and since it is a driving-based society, you don't have a lot of public transportation options that will get you where you need to go on time.

[@raylyeh6083]

Montanan here. It’s not quite as common in the handful of small cities we have but the more rural you get, the more beaters/rez runners you’ll see. It’s a mix of culture, poverty and weather. I grew up rural and I and everyone I grew up with have had at least 1 beater.

Not sure if someone gave you this answer yet, but the saying about the bears is something parents teach kids. If the color of the bear is: Black - fight back = black bears are scaredy cats, so you make yourself as big as you can with your hands up in the air waving and act crazy with yelling and waving of arms telling the bear to go away, and they will go the other way. Brown - lay down = you can not scare away brown bears, so you play dead and lay down and stay still and just close your eyes. Brown bears will come and sniff you but if you are not moving then they will just go away. White - good night = there is nothing you can do to fool them, so you are a goner!

It would take balls of steel to lie down and play dead when a grizzly is charging but that is literally what you're advised to do. I've lived in Colorado & Montana for 46 years and have seen a few bears. Black bears are typically very timid in the forest. Grizzlies are too unpredictable. They won't always attack and may even come quite close but if they decide to charge... Yikes. Best bring bear spray or a firearm or both. Cats are another story. I've seen several mountain lions in Colorado. They'll hang near by without ever presenting themselves. And you'll hardly, if ever hear them.

Something I'd like to point out about the U.S. The people in this video were mainly talking about the Ohio/Kentucky area. The U.S. is HUGE and the cultures will change depending on the State/Region you are in. There are a few universal traits most of us American all share, or at least don't see as completely odd when we are in another area. I was born and raised in Milwaukee Wisconsin and like Cincinnati Ohio we are a mid-western state that can get VERY cold in the winter so the cultures up here are similar. What someone from the south sees at Cold, I would still be outside in a t-shirt while grilling and drinking a frosty beer. We both share a similar Bar culture that center around heavy foods and beer and toss in some live music. That being said, when I moved to Chattanooga Tennessee, which is only an 11 hour drive from Milwaukee, it was a completely different world to me at the time. I mean, I did fit right in with a lot of them as most of the guys I worked with were all into Hunting and Fishing just like I am, and we all shared a lot of similar interests, but their food was waaaaaay different. To be honest, better in some ways, at least for the types of food I like personally. The BBQ down in the south REALLY is something to write home about, they know what's up and there are different kinds. Memphis style, Carolina style, Alabama White sauce, Texas brisket.... OMG I am getting hungry typing this. And that is only the areas I personally know well enough to talk about. I have been to Dallas Texas, but Texas itself is almost a whole separate Country within our Country. Definitely worth a visit.

I would say a lot of people in the US aren’t used to seeing people with guns. I think it is dependent on the area you live. I have lived my entire life in US, but my state doesn’t have open carry. I know people who own guns but only use them on the range or for work. I’m not used to seeing people walk around with guns.

[@s_clark]

I'm 66 and have seen guns in public, other than police/military/security, 4 times. 3 of those times were people heading out hunting or to the shooting range. The other time was a store robbery. Most of my life was in Texas, then rural California and now Phoenix. 2 of the 3 have very lax gun restrictions. I've also travelled to states on each coast, the south and midwest not seeing any guns in public.

[@jedimastercaeli]

I think it really depends on the locality you live in. Part of my childhood was in Los Angeles, part country Northern/Central California, and part military bases. I saw more guns, rifles/shotsguns in the country part of Northern California. My HS boyfriend and his buddies all had gun racks in their pick up truck windows with shotguns. No one ever tried to steal them while we were all in class. Granted this was in the 1990s. I live in the Mid West now and almost everyone I know owns weapons. Ohio (where Feli lives) is now also a Constitutional Carry state.

Baseball is probably the only major sport where there is no time factor. It's nine innings, unless there is a tie at the end. Then it goes into extra innings, until someone scores a run. However, the visiting team always goes to bat first. If they score a run in extra innings, the home team gets a chance to tie or even go up by one run or more. Once the home team scores a go ahead run, the game ends. If it's a home run, the team gets to score with all of the runners who are on base at the time. Extra innings can go on for hours, at times, if neither side can score.

about the free water or bathrooms: we have a little of that too, it's just not as obvious. at most businesses, it's frowned upon to use their bathrooms, if you're not a customer. the "gray area" is gas stations. there, it's like the halfway between being acceptable versus not. some have the bathrooms locked up, and you have to ask for the key. some aren't, but you have to go in. the larger the gas station, the less weird it is. that's why we love places like buckey's. it's a huge bathroom. there's no awkward (gotta be a customer) crap. the bathrooms are always super clean and big.

Once in a while a black bear wanders into a town here in Arkansas. You can find videos here on KZbin of them. Years ago, a family I knew were unable to leave their house for a while in a rural community near my town, because a bear showed up to raid their garbage and wouldn't leave. When I was a kid, my mother once had to wait to leave my grandmother's nursing home until the two bear cubs that were playing in the parking lot had been gone for a little while. If you see a cub, you know mama bear isn't far away, and she does NOT want you near her babies. There are enough bears in Arkansas that we have a short bear hunting season.

Be afraid of both. Think about how stupid the average person is. Go to a gun store or a gun range and just note how many people swing their guns around, flagging everybody. Look at how many people don't keep their finger off the trigger. So many people who carry don't actually practice with the weapon and know how to use it. That's what scares me. I'm scared of being accidentally shot by some moron adjusting his pants, shirt, etc. I'd prefer a national law (just forgetting about the legality of it for a sec) where everyone can conceal carry AFTER taking a short training course and getting a license of proficiency. Some states don't require that. I'd be okay with more "good guys with guns" if they had to demonstrate they could hit a target at just 10 yards reliably instead of just grabbing a gun at the store, holstering it, and that's it (which some states allow).

They all have loads of different sites and experiences for you to check out. They aren't New York or LA, but in many ways you'll get a more realistic view of the country. They are typical middle size cities with smaller populations (Indianapolis - 871,449, Nashville - 658,525, Louisville - 621,764, Cincinnati - 306,592), but still much larger than small towns which you'll find plenty of in between all these cities and the only polar bears you'll see are at the zoos.

[@grumpygoose9978]

The entire park thing may be because many homes here have large yards/lots compared to many European cities; which means a lot of people have enough room for large crowds of people at their home. I grew up on a small city lot that was only 80 feet across by 110 feet deep. Now, we live on a rural property that has more property than the entire city block where I grew up. Where I live now, you are not allowed to build a house on a lot smaller than one acre (4,046 sq meters); our property is 9.4 acres (38,040 sq meters). So, I have no need of a park; I have a large wooded area, gardens, fruit trees, livestock, and three small ponds with ducks and geese and wild waterfowl that visit. We only have a couple neighbors and both have larger lots than we do: One of them has horses and cows. I live in the Gulf Coast region and during the summer, the heat/humidity can be oppressive, but the winters are mild. As to wildlife, we get bobcats, coyotes, fox, raccoons, opossums, deer, bald eagles, their are bears around, but I have never seen one. My biggest surprise was the alligators. I have livestock guardian dogs that protect our ducks, geese, and chickens so the alligators typically only get into our back pasture pond. If they are under 4 feet, we leave them alone. If they haven't left by the time they reach 4 feet, we can call the state and get a wildlife removal officer to come get it and relocate it.

I don't really enjoy Feli's take on the US. I don't like how it seams she and her friends negatively compare all of the US to Germany. The US very diverse in weather, climate, and laws in each state. We have a wide variety of rural, suburbs, rural, and vast virtually uninhabited places. We do have open carry here in the US and I would much rather see open carry (in a holster) than a masked person brandishing an unholstered weapon robbing a store. If they are scared...they need to just stay over in Germany!!

I don't like open carry and I have no intention of visiting that part of the country.

Listen... germany is an overpopulated elderly country with not much history to be proud of. Let them feel they are special. The entire planet knows its a weird and miserable place. Lol

Depends where you live. In Arkansas we have hiking trails, waterfalls, ponds, lakes and lots of other places to go. Parks are available but many other places. to go.

"We do have open carry here in the US" In the inbred redneck states

As for the parks...Outside of Cincinnati, in the rural areas east of the city, it is a very different vibe. You are very unlikely to encounter an empty park in good weather.

I’ve never heard the term “beaters” used for a car. We use it for tank tops men wear. We used “bucket” for an old broken car.

Less than half an hour ago, 1:30 in the morning, I'm putting out the trash for collection, and I see two deer go around a corner less than 150 ft from my house!
