Oh Gott, die Chinesen kommen. Und bringen CO2 freundliche Autos zu konsumentenfreundlichen Preisen. Hiiiiiilfe. Baut eine Mauer. Das wollen wir nicht. Oder?
Edit: Ih sorry, English thread. I was writing that for German consumers that must be the hell: CO2 friendly cars at affordable prices. Stop that now. We need a new wall. Do we?
Muss ich mir merken Thermit-Reaktion. Wenn dann bald die humanoiden Roboter in Kriegen eingesetzt werden (und sie endlich wissen wie Türen zu öffnen sind), dann werde ich die Terminator therminieren.

Oh, I see it’s an English thread. So, actually that will be my way of fighting the Terminator in the coming wars with Humanoid Robots (once they figured out how to handle door handles). I will thermitinate the Terminator. As a note to my future self.
Chemie halt. Eine Wundertüte für mich. Kann man da nicht einfach Altmetall zermahlen und mit Wasserdampf bestrahlen? Die Kette Sonne/Wind > Strom > Wasserstoff > Eisen - Speichern nach Belieben - Eisenerz > Wasserstoff > Strom scheint mir doch sehr lang und dadurch ineffizient.
Okay, I might sound too negative. After WW2 car culture took off in Germany and Japan as well. May be a bit later due to overall wealth.
However, the OT asked how it comes that both countries have different urban planning - not building the city around cars despite having big car manufacturers.
My point is simply that the structure of German and Japanese cities were already shaped when cars were invented. Sure, there were bigger „modernizations“ with big streets cutting some cities in halves. But that’s more a niche.
The US had a population boom after WW2 and so the cities start to spread. Build car-friendly. https://marketsize.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/USPop.jpg
As the engine car was invented in 1886, I would say trains and trams were already there. Way before the car entered the scene. Just later at 1908 with Ford T cars became affordable for the non-rich.
People at that time hadn’t a huge radius of movement. There wasn’t simply not much need.
That is a bit how humans always explained human experiences - by explaining it through how modern technology works.
Years ago it were mechanical mechanisms that explained how we think. Before that it was a pinhole camera. Today it is information technology.
But that‘s not how humans think, interact, and live in the world. You’re model doesn’t explain why some people are boring and some are meszmerising. Some spoken words can resonate with your body and emotion (think of songs) some not. Some people such as Italians speak with hands and gestures as well and need it to understand the other.
That‘s why for me web calls are okay for just some information sharing but when it comes to even more intense and effective exchange, humans have to be in one room - to be in wave.
With just showing an idea, the problem is that humans aren’t in your head and see the world through the windows of the eyes (pinhole camera concept). Humans interact and move and see the world. That’s btw one of the breakthroughs in robotics - moving robots can much better interact with the world.
I don’t think this is the cause of it though: No money for buying cars. My guess is, it’s because there were more alternatives such as trains and public trams and cities are more densely build out of history.
Despite the US, Germany(& Europe) and Japan had a huge railway network spanning all cities and even smaller cities. The area I lived in Germany had the first railway 1840. Japan 1872. US 1827. However, if you look into the network expansion the US never reached the density and complexity of both others due to it’s sheer size.
With the advent of trains all bigger European and Japanese cities began to build public tram systems. To such an extent that it spans most of the citied nowadays. This is still not the state in US. One can literally see the difference when visiting US, German, and Japanese cities todays.
Moreover, US hadn’t cities that grow organically throughout the centuries. And there is much space available. No dense historic city centers, no growing city rings. E.g. you can easily cross an one million city such as Cologne by bike in 1-1,5 hour. (And adding traffic jams and parking lot search time, bike is more efficient and easy)

Still those are much smaller than in some US cities.
Oh, das ist ungewöhnlich. Wieso schlecht reden? Fühlst du dich persönlich angegriffen? War nicht so gemeint. Sorry
Mmmjanenajanein. Ich würde Erwachsenwerden eher sehen als die Fähigkeit, das eigenen Leben in die Hand zu nehmen.
Das würde ich tatsächlich auch geringen Konsum nennen. Dann habe ich ja einen guten Orientierungswert fürs Altenheim (und dem Weg bis dahin)
Wenn jetzt noch Rum einen konservierenden Effekt hätte…
Ich plädiere auf nicht straffähig, da er eine psychische Zwangsstörung hat. Die Fixierung auf Räder ist gesellschaftlich nicht mehrheitsfähig, was den neurotischen Charakter des Beschuldigten unterstreicht. /s
Ich hatte auch immer den Eindruck, dass bei Starkkiffern, der Prozess des Erwachsenwerdens stark verzögert ist. Vermutlich aber eher, weil die Menge der Welteindrücke und -erfahrungen sehr reduziert waren beim ständigen zuhause rumhängen und kiffen.
Wie viel ist das denn in gebrauchsüblichen Größen wie Tüten oder Köpfen?
Edit: Abstact gelesen. Hohe Dosen machen dich sehr dull und lassen dich geistig altern.
Dicke altern geistig auch schneller als Dünne auf „low calorie diet“
Scheint mir so, dass mein Bauchgefühl gestärkt wurde durch wissenschaftlichen Beweis. Mal schauen, ob es noch mehr Studien in die Richtung geben wird. Ich sag nur die Kifferrunde im Altenheim. Mit Playstation (weil Gehirnfördernd und so). Da schaue ich dann positiv ins Älterwerden ;)
Oh yes. Turbo Pascal habe ich damals in der Schule gelernt. Von einem sehr motivierten Lehrer. Der hatte das sich selbst beigebracht. Ich konnte dann schnell mehr als er, da ich auch schon Basic aufm C64 gelernt hatte. ,8,1 Trotzdem, vielen dank lieber Herr Thrandorf.
If you‘re so picky, I‘ll as well. I wrote it spans across, not includes all.
And France is the only one country that spans across all time zone on the globe.
Einfach wieder die Mauer hochziehen !?!
I‘m the one with that rope. A Lemmnja.
