The thing with winter tires has more facets to it. Yes, they help with snow, but not really if there is a lot of it. Then you still might need chains over the tires. Secondly, it just is cold here in winter. So even if there is no snow, the grip of our "summer tires" decreases with temperature. To combat this, the winter tires have innately more grip. That, however, is the reason why you don't have them up all year. Tires with more grip are usually not that hard and wear down way faster. If you leave them on for the summer, they won't be good enough anymore next winter. Also, there are special situations e.G. when you parked on snow, and now you want to drive away. To prevent your tires from doing a burnout, you might want to use the second or third gear and be gentle with the clutch. Thats where a manual shifting helps. Yes, it isn't often that you need that, but it can help sometimes.

[@wallerwolf6930]

However, snow chains are not compulsory everywhere. There are also so-called all-season tires, as you probably know ;-))

[@dlejon1044]

You dont use summer tires in the winter because they get hard by the cold. This in combination with ice and snow make them extremely slippery. You then also do not use winter tires in the summer because they are made for the cold. In the summer they get soft and wear out really fast. Also a kind of winter tires are studded tires. They have metal pins that help grip on ice. Using these in the summer is really bad for the roads.

[@haggihug3162]

Also winter tires make the car use more gasoline because they have more grip to the street. Thats a big reason not to drive them all year round.

[@ChriDDel]

studded tires are not allowed in germany. you will see them in Sweden. Winter tires perform not as good in rain as a summer tires. (sounds odd, but look up some tests). Winter tires also have more tread and are therefor louder and consume more energy.

[@Vampirzaehnchen]

But instead you also could use regular winter tires and add snow chains if needed. Because even in winter when there is no snow and/or ice on the road, you don't want to have pins on your tires that can't be removed.

Bidets are sadly not that common in germany. Even it somewhat gets more common the recent years, i think most households in germany don't have them. We installed one a few years back and i must say, since we have it, every toilet without it just feels dirty

[@TheLoudBro]

Yesssss

[@wallerwolf6930]

Of course they are standard in India ;-))

[@mysuYin]

Mobile bidets are now often on offer. A kind of bottle that you fill with water and then emit a jet of water. I have one of these. I now always need water too.

[@Ingrid-wf4cl]

@@wallerwolf6930 they are not .I stayed in indian households without bidets.

I am 50 and work as a security guard. My route to work is exactly 9.4 km. I cycle there and back every day. If I can no longer do this, physically, I will be old and soon dead.

[@TheLoudBro]

Wow

[@wallerwolf6930]

There are also combinations for the bathroom. For example, we have a large, permanently installed shower with an additional hand shower in combination with a bathtub. This is very common in Germany. Some households also only have shower cubicles, as is common in many standard hotels.

[@emiliajojo5703]

Manual is so much more fun.

[@red_dolphin468]

manuals allow also just more efficient usage of gasoline. which is compared to the US five- to 10 times as expensive- whichmeans a economic reson is there aswell.

[@emiliajojo5703]

A suggestion for a brilliant video:how anyone,including you,can read german. Would love to see you react❤❤❤

[@TheLoudBro]

Thanks for the idea!

On the subject of toilet paper: Most (mainly women) use dry toilet paper to clean themselves after urinating because a wet vagina is uncomfortable. For the "big business" there is moist toilet paper, which is soaked in a mostly scented lotion. This can be thrown into the toilet. Not to be confused with baby wipes, which should NOT be thrown into the toilet.

[@Jochen.Lutz-Germany]

There are 2 reasons for using summer and winter tyres. Due to snow and ice in winter times it would be dangerous to drive with summer tyres in winter. Furthermore if you cause an accident due to the use of sommer tyres in winter it could happen that your insurance would't pay the repair costs. Last not least driving winter tyres in summer the tyres would wear and you have to buy new tyres.

[@ThorDyrden]

The 90% manual seems an outdated number. With modern 7 or 8 gear automatics or dual-clutch getting common in the last decades roughly 50% of cars are automatic today. Though - most Germans still learn to drive manual and for some cars we even prefer the experience.

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

You're wrong about that... The "fleet" is changin' slowly...

[@koabua1973styria]

In Austria and Germany a lot of People buy E-Bikes. This Bikes have an electric Motor , which helps the Driver save his Power. But you had step the Pedal yourself. But you can drive 2 times faster than other Bikers.

[@MartinBeerbom]

There are also all-year tires. I live in the Niederrhein region in NRW where we have really mild winters, and many people here use all-year tires that do not have to be changed. The winter tires are more important in the mountainous south or the south east where the winters are really cold and snowy and the landscape requires a good grip.

[@ayrtonsenna1020]

everything you say about Germany is in all of Europe - we have the same culture ... driving on the highway, bathrooms, houses, school system, winter tires, recycling, shopping baskets in supermarkets, etc etc... everything is 95% Europe is exactly the same as in Germany... the differences are only in certain quality, but the system is identical

[@oleurgast730]

There are actually tieres you can use the whole year. The problem: The rubber you need for them, limits the speed you can drive without risk to damage them, to 160km/h. You should't use them above 140km/h to be sure. It'a also not forbidden to use winter tyres the whole year. But of course considering the technical allowed speed limit. If you exeed the speed limit the tyres are allowed to and cause an accident due to a bursting tyre - you are guilty. So the reason for winter tyres isn't the winter conditions - it's the summer conditions plus no speed limit on sections of the Autobahn, requirering tyres able to be used at theese speed. A problem only Germany has, because no one else need "high speed" tyres in summer. Also seperate winter and summer tyres allow different profiles and rubber mixtures optimized for the weather conditions, also reducing energy consumption esp. in summer. Also the rubber used for whole year and summer tyres is less lasting (main reason trucks use summer tyres outside the snowing season).

[@larskubach8791]

Things are changing towards automatic cars due to electric vehicles - one of the reasons Germans are opposed towards electric cars

[@andreasmartin9296]

Winter tires are only for temperatures below 7°C. When it is warmer, they become very soft. I just experienced driving with winter tires at 27°C, and it felt like I was riding a boat. I felt like I was losing control in steering, and it was very loud due to the heavy friction.

[@Jochen.Lutz-Germany]

I (German) think that one point is that we enjoy driving our cars . We love to drive in a sporting way. With an automatic drive it would be boring. Another point is that with a manual drive with a clutch you have a much better control of the car. Some safe fuel by shifting earlier (not possible with an Automatic) or in winter times when the streets are slippery due to snow or ice.

[@ayrtonsenna1020]

you wouldn't be able to drive on winter tires in the summer...they are much softer and you would drive like plasticine - that's the basis of why there are winter and summer tires

[@emiliajojo5703]

Stay fit ,not a bad idea.

[@mho2309]

the statistics with manual cars must be ancient. Currently the proportion of automatic cars is over 50%-60%, depending on which statistics you look at. So 90% manual was once decades ago

[@romanakipper7713]

I think those numbers refer to newly bought cars - but yes, unfortunately I guess in the future it will be the new „normal“

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Not decades, only years...

[@martinhuhn7813]

Winter tires are not that expensive. You rather don´t use them in the summer for two main reasons. Firstly, they slightly increase the fuel consumption of the car. And secondly, the rubber is much softer and gets even softer, when it is hot. That increases the breaking distance under those conditions. However, therer are "all season tires" and winter tires are not so bad in summer, that they are illegal then. I am currently driving winter tires all year for a reason. My car is very old and when it is done, I will most likely buy some other used old car of a random brand. The winter tires will outlive the car, and it would not have made sense to keep the additional summer tires (which came with the car), Also: I tend to drive to the arctic.

[@haggihug3162]

Automatic cars also are more expensive and used to need more gasoline. Nowadays it changes, especially electric cars are all automatic. But manual cars are cheaper and more lightweight and use less gas because of this. The woman from New Seeland picked funny examples. There are much more things to mention I learned. For example German windows that can be tilt and opened. … look out for more … Bidets are extra devices to wash your lower parts, but they are not so widley spread. In France they are more spread. Germans use toilet paper and thats it. 🤪 The litte showers you have you will not find here.

[@klarasee806]

In our neighbourhood there’s a lady who is 96 and still riding her bicycle every day for running errands. She is very active and does everything on her own. Sometimes I think it’s a bit dangerous because to break a bone at this age can cost you your life. On the other hand, is it really a life if you only sit at home and don’t use your muscles anymore?! Should I ever grow that old I hope I will be able to ride my bicycle too until I die.

[@ChriDDel]

manual cars are cheaper and where more fule efficient. today it changes with better gearboxes.

90 % is wrong concerning manual driving. This is a very old number. Automatic driving increased very mucg.

[@olafborkner]

One reason, why Germans drive manual cars is. If you aquire the driver's license on a car with an automatic gear shift, you are restricted to drive this type of car, and you are not allowed to drive a car with a manual gear shift.

[@romanakipper7713]

Not anymore, you just need to have had some lessons in a manual car!

@@romanakipper7713 Thank you, I didn't know this. But then, when I got my driver's license, it cost me 200 DM, you can imagine, it must be a while ago. 😀

[@klarasee806]

Manuals are way better in my opinion, because they give you more control over the car, but unfortunately they are dying out, even here in Germany. Many manufacturers have stopped producing manual cars or will do so in the near future. I really don’t think that 90% of Germans still drive manual.

Good idea, there are also videos taken from the cockpit of trams ("Führerstandsmitfahrt") and city walks. Those show a bit more because they can also cover the pedestrian areas of German cities, where cars are restricted.
