14:15 They switched to the knob shifters because it’s cheaper to manufacture than the older style sliding shift lever. Also, the transmission can actually ignore your input if you accidentally try to shift out of gear while driving. It will just refuse to shift and probably show a warning message on the screen in the gauge cluster.

[@sylvrwolflol]

To this day, by far my favorite kind of gear shift is in the older Honda CR-Vs. They have a compact shift lever just to the right of the steering wheel, far enough away that you can't touch it while your hands are on the wheel but close enough that you can immediately swap between the two. There's just something about having complete control over the vehicle functions right where your hands already are, and something about the feeling of a physical lever over the more "modern" knob. Only way I could see those knob shifters not being mildly terrifying every time is if they gave them some degree of haptic feedback, so that you don't just spin the wheel and land in whatever the hell without physical resistance.

[@great_hedgehog8199]

The thing about that Illegal Pete's ad poster is not only the lady's mouth full of cheese dips, watch how the hand holding the nacho chip is oriented. Either she's got some mad gymnastics going with her hand, or someone is actively feeding her more cheesy nacho when her mouth is already full of cheese dips. And I'm not sure whether or not like I like it more after the fact.

As a german, I think I know what happened at 12:12. The german slang word Geil, is usually used to describe something as cool, though it’s actual translation is horny. A good English example would be shit, it usually means bad (or something else), but can also be translated to poop. So when they put Geil in whatever translator they used, it just gave out the direct translation. Hope this helps!

[@GlaciesYin]

0:25 That's 水莲 aka crested floating-heart. It is kinda niche as it is only grown to be eaten in Taiwan, the wikipedia article is really short. (炒 means fried, probably stir-fried) That said, can we talk about what's just below in 00:28? 水芝圈 is actually Lotus Ring. I guess "Mermaid in Deep Sea" alludes to the aquatic nature and I guess it's meant to be pretty "MCDONALD'S BEST FRIEND" THO- Idk if they took the wrong character, but it might mean Chicken McNuggets? As in 麦克鸡块 instead of 麦克吉块. Best friend indeed XD Mr Oyster is strange, since it's 儿子酥, which translates to son pastry, idk what it's supposed to be??? 3:17 is Korean cuisine Aaaa is probably Kimchi Stewed Rice?? That's my guess since they call it "Korean-style vegetable stewed rice". Not usually how Kimchi Jjigae is eaten (not rice) but ok. Kalbi Kuppa says Beef soup rice 6:00 I mean, not wrong, but not right either "When flight has ended, the machinery will still be lit/send warnings if you only flip the switch to "off", you must take out the batteries from the helicopter. Please make this a habit, better safe than sorry (actually says "in order to avoid regret" as per the paper, but in a precautionary way)" In case you can't tell, these are probably instructions for a toy helicopter.

[@Jason-b9t]

I searched for related news a little bit, and it seems that even the Chinese part of the menu is wrong (typo error). The correct names of the dishes should be "花枝圈(Deep-fried calamari rings)", "麥克雞塊(Chicken McNuggets)" and "蚵仔酥(Oyster Crisp)".

炒水連 . 0.43 Is called stir-fried water spinach, and here is a recipe if your curious. 300g water spinach (also known as "kangkong" or "ong choy"), washed and cut into 4-5 inch lengths 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any cooking oil) 1 tablespoon soy sauce (adjust to taste) 1 teaspoon oyster sauce (optional) Salt and pepper to taste A pinch of sugar (optional, to balance flavors) Chili (optional, for heat) Instructions: Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the water spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Cut it into manageable lengths. Mince the garlic and set aside. Heat the Oil: In a wok or large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add Water Spinach: Add the water spinach to the pan. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the leaves are wilted and the stems are tender but still crisp. Season: Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and a pinch of sugar. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more soy sauce as needed. Serve: Once the water spinach is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and serve immediately as a side dish with rice or as part of a larger meal.
