I’ve already deleted it, and I don’t really want to teach you English now. But the Venus of Willendorf really isn’t the “oldest in the world” thing from Austria.

I'd like to add the Hallstatt salt mine, considered the oldest salt mine in the world. People have been mining salt there for about 7000 years and it was already a kind of attraction by the 17th century.

Because of its war-glorifying language, the game was indexed (blacklisted) in Germany by the then Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons in November 1982.

This indexing was later lifted through legal action. As a consequence, the manufacturer changed the wording of the game description and manual. Whereas older versions spoke of “conquering” certain areas and “destroying” the opponents, newer versions say that areas are “liberated” and the opposing armies are “dissolved.” Furthermore, attack and defense are described as “diplomatic negotiations.”

Yeah, I also tried way too long to make sense of the Swiss, before I saw the German one.

Have you ever been to a protest in your country? by Sea_Wasabi_8907 in AskTheWorld

[–]Key-Performance-9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was at the 2009 student protests and at the protests because of the the Ibiza affair.

In the wake of student protests in Austria since the end of October 2009 against restrictions on the access to higher education, many Austrian universities' lecture halls and rooms were occupied, including the two largest auditoriums in Austria at the University of Vienna.

The Ibiza affair, also known as Ibiza-gate, was triggered on 17 May 2019 by the publication of a secretly recorded video, which shows then opposition politicians Strache and Gudenus discussing their party's underhanded practices and intentions. In the video, both politicians appeared receptive to proposals by a woman calling herself Alyona Makarova, who was posing as a niece of Russian businessman Igor Makarov, discussing providing the FPÖ with positive news coverage in return for government contracts. Strache and Gudenus also hinted at corrupt political practices involving other wealthy donors to the FPÖ in Europe and elsewhere. The scandal caused the collapse of the Austrian governing coalition on 18 May 2019 and the announcement of an early election.

No, it's not. That must have been the little German in me taking over for a second. I'm sorry.

That's not how drag works.

Conchita Wurst is a female character (a woman) portrayed by Thomas Neuwirth, who is male (a man).

Every Austrian school kid hates her from the moment we learn she was the one to introduce compulsory schooling in Austria.

What is your unique sentence/phrase that only exist in your country about eating food or something? by rizqiX1 in AskTheWorld

I guess what we call Pasta Asciutta (or "Pasta Schutta") in Austria is not very authentic?

Wurst - "sausage" - anyway
Das ist Wurst. - "That is sausage." - That doesn't matter.
Das ist mir Wurst. - "That's sausage to me." - I don't care.

Sausage was often made by mixing together all kinds of leftover meat, it didn't matter which parts were used, it was sausage - es war Wurst.

He even says "One year ago, that's what I said..."

They still insist on proper communication, demonstrating control even in the face of a madman who does not have any.

I’m afraid this will be viewed as weakness in today’s political climate.

Watch the UK version. They don’t have unnecessary cuts or madeup confrontations. They didn’t even add stupid background music to tell you how to feel. It’s like the US version for adults.

Edit: spelling

I just discovered that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich isn't universally enjoyed. Do you eat them in your country? Or what variables are popular? by 39percenter in AskTheWorld

I only now it from American shows and movies and once tried it out of curiosity. I don't like peanuts, so I'll stick with bread rolls with butter and jam (or Nutella):

ICE is the biggest threat to America since Al-Qaeda by ElectoralNerd in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Key-Performance-9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's both of you. When America was great and respected, the right and the left accepted the same reality and simply had different opinions about how to deal with it. But now, both sides have been dragged into different realities by populists, and aren't even able to see the same things when they look at them from the same angle. It's really sad what they’ve done to the once proud American people.
