[@lissandrafreljord7913]

You can clearly see a South (Spain + Italy), Middle (France + Germany), and North (Sweden + Finland) divide in these European countries, with France leaning closer to Southern Europe, and Germany leaning closer to Nordic Europe.

[@noefillon1749]

France is really in-between Germanic and latin nations culture-wise, aaand you can see the differences in mentality going from north to South in France, though in a country like Italy, there is even more of a divide, almost as if it was two different countries

[@poidnet]

13:30 - In France, we do have siestas (or "sieste"), but like in Spain, it's more common among older generations. Younger people generally don't take siestas, though the tradition still persists.

[@henri191]

My favorite stereotype of Europe is Italy : use their hands a lot, mafia, eat pasta a lot, usually well-dressed by their style brands, love football, not pasta with ketchup and more 😂

[@fabricio4794]

And Pizza.

[@Captainumerica]

The ending is hilarious with the italian and the spaniard talking and the swedish realizing the stereotype is happening

[@desiredmanga]

A very funny video, but as spanish I disagree about taking the spanish average temperature to disregard siesta time. Spanish temperatures tend to be extreme: some of Avila's winters has been around minus 16 degrees celsius, and the north area of the peninsula is colder than the south. Spain is the second highest (in mountain ranges) country in Europe, only behind Switzeland, and keep in mind we are at the same latitude than New York, so it is obvious the average of all the temperatures are going to supress each other towards the colder side. But I dare anyone go out in Seville at 45 degrees in a summer heatwave at 3 p.m. if they believe siesta is not a good idea.

[@FalcoSorreo]

I recently watched a documentary about monkeys that live in a forest in Asia. The documentary was explaining that during summer the forest gets extremely hot and humid, to the point that it is dangerous for the health of the monkeys. Moving around in the heat wastes too much energy and can lead to dehydration fast. So what the monkeys do is they climb the trees, pick a nice, cool, shady branch, and they just sleep there all day, they barely move. Only once the sun starts to go down they slowly become active again. That is a good explanation of Sevilla in august.

[@Captainumerica]

The highest mountain in the EU are in France (Mont Blanc).

The stereotype of the Mafia in Italy is partially true: it is certainly a serious problem that exists, but it exists throughout Italy, not just in the South. The way it operates is mostly by committing illegalities, even political ones, hidden in the shadows, with corruption and similar things; it is just that the now rarer news of cases with violence that comes out in the light of day, often come from the South

[@sultanovkamran7830]

To me, as a Brazilian, at least what I see people talking about these countries, the stereotypes are: France: Don't shower, smelly, smokes a lot, rude, has a lot of style, romantic language, protests abou anything, wine Finland: Frozen place? I didn't hear much about it Germany: Harsh language, robotic people, follow rules not even questioning, sausages, no limit speed on highways, cars Italy: food, people being annoying on how you should eat your food, sexy people, singing/sexy language, stylish people Sweden: Same as Finland Spain: sexy people, party, speaks too fast, pretty much like the latinos of Latin America

[@iagobroxado]

Third day of requesting this idea: Hello! It will be really nice if you guys made a video of comparing different Chinese dialects like Hokkien, Hakka, and wenzhounese, With Korean and Japanese. This is because these dialects are closer to old and Middle Chinese. So there will be more similarities when you compare Korean, japanese. I’ve been wanting someone to make a video like that for a long time.

[@claudiarobertomartin2281]

the siesta in spain is, along with the high tempetures in summer, due to our working hours. Usually life starts at 8 am and shops close at 10pm, and at that time even in winter you would find streets crowded with families, thats why we need a rest in the afternoon. I used to live n Lithuania and shops closed at 6-7pm so no wonder they would not need that little break.

[@victoriamuniz8958]

In Spain, businesses don't close at noon just for the siesta. Normally store hours are from 9 or 10 in the morning to 8 or 9, some even 10 at night, so the ones that close in the middle of the day are usually the small ones where only the owner or one or two works. employees. This is enough to go home to eat, rest a little and come back until closing time.

While 🇮🇹 Asia seemed bemused on why every country doesn't have bidets, I find it surprising that bidet showers aren't a thing anywhere else except in 🇫🇮 Finland and 🇪🇪 Estonia. You can clean it more easily with the bidet shower hose than trying to knee on the bidet sink. 😉 I never used the latter in 🇪🇸 Spain as intended because I thought it was for the feet. Or maybe once as I run out off hotel room toilet paper, so I cleaned it for the next customer's feet... 🤣

[@N3v3r_S3ttl3]

Alcohol makes you feel warm, because the blood vessels under your skin widens up and thus increase more blood to flow through. However, it doesn't actually makes your body temperature rise up. So it's a myth to be warm by drinking alcohol, just wear more cloths.

In Wisconsin, aside from being the dairy state, we are also known in the USA as the drinking state. Since most of our ethnicity is German, Scandanavian, Dutch, Irish, and Polish, it's not really a stereotype. As an example, the deal in the casinos in Las Vegas used to be that the drinks were complimentary (on the house) as long as you were gambling. Unless you're from Wisconsin.

[@Biancardini-12]

Everyone tends to think that the US is a homogeneous country, like 100% white, but they forget that the US is mixed, has many ethnicities, whites are more than 50% but that does not define the US as a homogeneous country in ethnicity as many think it is, an example is that Africans and Asians think that the US is 100% white when in fact 41% of another ethnicity
