There's a historical reason why uniforms are not used in schools in Germany. Something linked to a certain movement in the 1940s that kind of ruined the image of children in identical outfits.

[@hazukichanx408]

In fairness, putting children (or adults for that matter) in identical outfits is just a terrible idea in general. It normalizes normality, conformism, going along with whatever and not questioning the established order, the thing all your peers are doing; glorifies the act of erasing one's own judgment, ideas, feelings and identity in favor of what one _thinks_ everyone else likes, what one has been _told_ the government or the "great leader" wants... A certain line of baseball hats with a misleading slogan spring to mind.

"If you know me, you know I love a good map" - JackSucksAtGeography, probably Archery was declared Bhutan's national sport in 1971, which was the same year they joined the United Nations. And every village has a field for archery. So it definitely checks out. It also makes sense historically. Bhutan is a very mountainous country, so bow and arrow is a means of survival when you're hunting and battling in war (against Tibetans and the British) in the mountains. They consider it more than just a sport, but a martial art.

There's also just not that much flat ground for sports fields in Bhutan, as evidenced by the mountain map.

"I'm overthinking it, he's just clearly a very popular guy" exactly, comrade. NEVER question me. My people love me, women run to hug me, because I am modernizing the country and not backing down. People will claim I won because we're a one-party state, but that's not true. Besides the Workers' Party of Korea, there are also the Korean Social Democratic Party, Chondoist Chongu Party (Chondoism is a Korean pantheistic religion), and the Chongryon (an organization for Koreans affiliated with the DPRK living in Japan). It's just they're all in the same alliance, the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Fatherland

[@LaVieDeReine86]

I am Northern German/Danish. This is very accurate. If a meal isn't explicitly planned you will starve in the gutter. If you visit and it is not an obvious meal invitation (e.g. 12:30pm or 6-7pm) then you are reasonably expected as an adult to have fed yourself adequately hours earlier. Even my cousin invited me over at 12pm only to boot me out at 1 and say he had lunch reservations (with his gf) thus my cue to bugger off. It is not meant in a miserly way, it is more for health and respect for your own eating cycle. That way you don't over eat or ruin your appetite (your mum may have dinner organised afterwards for example). The opposite is true of my Italian aunt (my uncle married an Italian, I'm not Italian). She cooks buckets of food and force feeds me until I am hyperglycaemic.

6:17 It's actually just like saying 'Four Twenty Twelve' Because 80 in french is 'Four Twenty' and 'Twelve' is just saying its 80 + 12 It's the same thing for the 70s, just a bit less complicated because there's no 4*20 action going on. For example 74 is 'Soixante-Quatorze' Soixante meaning 60 and Quatorze meaning 14, 60+14. and as for 6:23, in danish, the 90s are said 'halvfems', 'halvfem' meaning 'half to five' aka (5-0.5) and the s meaning to times it by 20. For 92, it is said 'tooghalvfems' halvfems meaning (5-0.5)*20 and 'toog', 'to' meaning 'two' and 'og' meaning 'and'. With that known, you can see it says 'two and half to five times twenty' aka 2+(5-0.5)*20)

I think the temperature one is mainly to do with mountains. Hence why the UK and places like Belgium and Netherlands didn’t have as high extremes. But also I think large land masses can create extreme colds due to air flows and large masses of cold air. I think it can work the same way for extremes of heat like heat waves as well. Although I’m not an expert I could be talking rubbish. But on average the UK is still pretty cold 😂

[@fibreoptic8021]

The sea also has a very strong warming effect as it retains heat in the winter, the uk (being an island) and other coastal countries are generally warmer in winter because of it

[@snowmeows3342]

The "will a guest receive food" map is kind of confusing. Do they mean, like... if a stranger shows up on your doorstep and goes "Hello! May I come in please?", then yes, swedish people might not offer them food. But if you're invited over to someone it usually involves a meal? Or at the very least, someone will say "Would you like something to eat? We have some flatbread and the horrid spongey bread some swedish people like, could make you a sandwich", or similar. I mean, a guest is a guest. If you don't want them there, don't invite them? And if you do want them there, you typically want them to have a nice time, and that's helped by making sure they're not hungry, even if it's just checking to confirm they ate before they came over.
