I am in the UK, we have had fridges and electricity for at least ten years now.
In America what you call football, we call soccer. What you call a refrigerator, we call a mini-fridge.
My fridge is quite a bit taller than me, I am 6'3". Football is the game where the ball is predominantly played with the foot. It is a bit like metric, deciding everyone else is wrong doesn't work.
I love ice cold drinks like most Americans. Once I studied nutrition you will see Ice cold drinks should be before or after meals. During meals Cold Drinks get in the way of digestion. Also, in Asia they rarely/never drink cold drinks with meals, hence warm tea.

Just to tweak our cousins across the Atlantic even more. You have a bunch of beautiful historic architecture, yet the buildings you put up now are modernist looking garbage. What's up with that?
It's really odd to care where anyone else washes their clothes
Is it true that some Europeans take their kitchen cabinets with them when they move?
Perhaps the no ice cubes thing is just the tip of the iceberg. I can't decide what should be up next, not allowing visiting children to eat when your family has dinner or protectionist trade practices with the country that provides most of your defense.
I suspect the answer has to do with dental hygiene. Hard to enjoy an icy drink when your yellow, decaying, euro-chompers are sensitive to the cold, or so I imagine

Absolutely. I can't speak for every European Country but that is the case in Germany, where apartments usually only have a range if anything. That's also the reason why IKEA kitchens are so popular.
What sets German homes apart? That's what Rachel want to find out for this week's Meet the Germans. From cake forks to tiny homes and BYO kitchens – join her...

I am just trying to give Europeans a hard time (especially since I see so many American stereotypes slung around, especially by the Euro-wannabe subset of Americans), but as an American it's both funny and unthinkable that cabinets don't stay with the house or apartment. Interesting link to IKEA.

Germans laugh about how outdated US Kitchens are, that includes the clothes washer which often sits in the kitchen or bathroom. And the quality of most kitchens is also sub par in the US. But I agree that it seems stupid to haul around your washer every few years.

It is really odd to have a washing machine in your kitchen (at least it is in America as we have things called laundry rooms). So go drink a warm beer and then put your empty mug in your countertop dishwasher.

No American has a clothes washer in their kitchen. That is a European thing. American kitchens are bigger than most German apartments.
As for your handle 'Global Warming is Fake", which part is fake - the part about warming or that the earth is round like a globe? Just sayin'.
Both... you Euros are so dumb.
Running things that make the air colder like my A/C or fridge the size of a London studio apartment will obviously not make the earth warmer as these thing make other things colder.
The earth is clearly not round. I have seen these so called globes. I have also traveled extensively including to Australia and Argentina. Guess what, when I got there, I wasn't upside down. So clearly the earth is not "round like a globe". Besides a globe isn't round, it is spherical.
"Hmmm...how can I sell you a 24 oz. fountain drink for $3.49 but only give you 12 oz. of product? Yes! Fill half of the cup with ice and then promote the immediate gratification and satisfaction of an iced cold beverage. Cost to me, including the cup, is about 12 cents - $3.37 in profit!!!"
12 oz of ice is more expensive than 12 oz of water + syrup (which is strengthened in fountain machines to compensate for the ice anyways).
The reason they put ice in your drink is so it stays cold. An unbelievable scientific discovery by American inventor Frederic Tudor
American drinks are watered down. I order every drink with no ice when Stateside. Thus I get what I paid for.
Quality control. Germany has very strict laws to maintain very high quality beer.
German beer is high quality like "purified" bottled water is high quality. Meaning it's for ignorant hipsters who want to be seen with the "high quality" stuff.
It's aggressively sanitized of character and flavor. In a way it is the "processed food" of beers

The question should be why the US insists on serving an entire glass filled with ice for most beverages? I want to taste what I’m drinking i do not need it watered down.
I can tell you here in Budapest, they don’t believe in air conditioner on buses or public transportation either. It’s been downright miserable, and extra smelly this week with the heat!
I was on a bus a week or so ago and they had the heating on (it was a hot day too). I asked why and he said that bus drivers were unable to alter the temperature... which is crazy.
Because cold water doesn't help digestion and also makes you tired.
False news?
The only plausible motive for drinking cold water is if it is hot and body temperature need be lowered. In a Euro place like Hungary, not likely.
The lower Euro bathing frequency I'm on about (and it is real, don't kid yourself) is a direct result of it not getting very hot there. BO comes from lots of sweat. Little sweat, little BO. Look at a map and you'll realize these people are practically in the Arctic. How do they even survive the winters up there?
The role of water in cooling the body comes from sweating. In Europe, nearly all water you drink is well below body temperature in any case, so it's not gonna have much effect if there's ice in it. And even in the south, like America, that's just a sensory trick, that cool water won't cool your body all that much.
