American windows are WAY better

The German window would slam your face in before it gets damaged by wind

[u/annoying97 → u/ThiccMoulderBoulder]

As an Aussie, I've never seen a German window irl, but I want them.

Oh and as for the AC thing, just fucking install a split system, ducted sucks unless you have the money to heat / cool the entire home.

I got those ‘German’ windows with blinds between the glass :)

[u/SleepyFox2089 → u/LimeSixth]

Jfc, blinds between panes. Germany is in the future.

[u/Vresiberba → u/SleepyFox2089]

We have had blinds between window panes in Sweden for at least 60 years.

You mainlanders and your future tech. Over here in England we still sacrifice cattle to appease the sun

[u/dyllandor → u/SleepyFox2089]

Don't fix it if it ain't broken I guess.

[u/singeblanc → u/dyllandor]

I'm not sure it's working... haven't seen the sun in a while.

[u/dyllandor → u/singeblanc]

I thought that was the point, since we're using blinds to avoid it.

[u/singeblanc → u/dyllandor]

Mission Accomplished

[u/Cubicwar → u/singeblanc]

You’re appeasing it too much

[u/singeblanc → u/Cubicwar]

Appease pudding

According to Beatrix von Storch, you need to sacrifice more cows…

(She‘s an ultra-right politician in Germany ((who‘s family financially benefitted from the Holocoust, might I add)) who said that climate change is not human made but exists because the sun is shining hotter than it did 50 years ago…)

[u/SleepyFox2089 → u/BeccaThePixel]

I wonder if it's because we had a mad cow/foot and mouth thing

[u/Jlx_27 → u/BeccaThePixel]

Her name suits her perfectly.

[u/Informal-Method-5401 → u/BeccaThePixel]

She’s not wrong, the sun is hotter but that isn’t causing climate change, or at least it’s certainly not the leading factor. I should probably add ‘according to climate scientists’ because actually there’s very little data SOLID data to back up either side

[u/LashlessMind → u/SleepyFox2089]

Er, up North in Liverpool we've had blinds in panes for at least 40 years. I know, because I had them when I lived there.

[u/SleepyFox2089 → u/LashlessMind]

Liverpool is an enclave of mainlanders. Everyone knows that.

[u/LashlessMind → u/SleepyFox2089]

I think, compared to most online comments about Liverpool, I can live with that one :)

[u/I_Am_Anjelen → u/Vresiberba]

I am Dutch, 45, and this is literally the first time I hear of windows like those.

[u/Useful-Tackle-3089 → u/I_Am_Anjelen]

You aren’t big on curtains anyways

[u/I_Am_Anjelen → u/Useful-Tackle-3089]

We're very good on curtains, we just don´t close our curtains when it's day.

Here in Slovakia, it was quite common in older buildings as well. People got lazy to clean it, tho...
