No obviously. But any vehicle you use to participate in traffic with has to be certified, so that it's safe enough for both you and others according to certain norms. So you couldn't drive a child's toy, which can't be certified this way, on a public road. You can of course still use it elsewhere and doing so doesn't require certification.

Honestly pretty sure it isn't the law in Germany either. They have to get their cars certified as street legal, which wouldn't make any sense at all if they could just use a toy car instead. Why not say your car that has broken lights is actually a toy, and thus legal, if you could evade certification that way? Doesn't make sense.

That doesn't have anything to do with what I said. People fleeing the US will not be granted asylum in any country of the world due to what I said. They can apply for it alright, just won't do them any good and they'll be sent right back.

There's a lot of politics that go into who recohnises a country as bad enough to flee from. With what a giant threat the US is, other countries won't risk taking its citizens as refugees any time soon.

Our definition: either high enough or steep enough to have no vegetation at the top. For some people, only the former definition counts. But from experience, the definition must be different in Germany. Maybe someone from there can chime in to share their definition!

A LOT of the ones I've seen Germans refer to as that are hills to me, so maybe it's normal for some. The way we use it, Berg has to go over the tree line, or at the very least be steep enough at the top to not have vegetation there.

As an Austrian, this comment saying that 'Berg' translates to both hill and mountain explains a lot about what I've seen Germans refer to as Berg. To me it only means mountain.

With how unessecarily smug you were being, I honestly wasn't sure.

A brand written on a product is an ad. Let alone the ads everywhere in public. Acknowledgimg that you're seeing an ad makes you less likely to be sub consciously influenced ('brand awareness'). Pretending you're immune might make you more susceptible.

I'm surprised it was even beer and not something inedible that looks better

I recently went to Germany too and there's such an uncomfortably large number of cops everywhere. Do you happen to have more info on what you talked about? Id love to read up on it and potentially want friends who live there.
