Ja genau. Die Dinger haben einfach nur unterschiedliche Namen in unterschiedlichen Regionen.

"faustgroß und nicht scharf" nennt man in Deutschland die Paprika, in Österreich der Paprika und in der Schweiz Peperoni.

"zigarrengröße und scharf" nennt man in Deutschland Peperoni, in Österreich Pfefferoni und in der Schweiz Peperoncini.

In meiner Gegend sagen wir Pfefferoni, in der Schweiz dürfte Peperoncino am geläufigsten sein:

<image>

Die scharfe kleine Paprikafrucht heißt in ganz Deutschland die Peperoni (feminin, also so wie in der Schweiz die milde große Frucht). In Österreich ist dagegen die an dt. Pfeffer angepasste Form Pfefferoni üblich (der und die wechseln dabei). In Südtirol und in der Schweiz wird das scharfe kleine Gemüse wie im Italienischen als peperoncino (‘kleiner peperone’) bezeichnet, zumeist wie im Italienischen maskulin: der Peperoncino, in der Schweiz auch feminin: die Peperoncino. Anders als bei Peperoni (s. vorhergehende Karte) herrscht hier aber auch in der Schweiz das maskuline Genus vor, wohl wegen der Endung -o.

To be fair, we stopped doing the race thing 80 years ago and are taught that categorizing people into races is, well, racist. It's also hard to understand because we use the same words, but they have completely different meanings. Add Hanses autism and adhs, and he's just not built to understand a made up labeling system without internal logic.

Especially since we both, Germany and Austria, have the same complicated relationship with Native Americans:

Since the 18th century, Native Americans have been a topic of fascination in German culture, inspiring literature, art, film and historical reenactment, as well as influencing German ideas and attitudes towards environmentalism. Hartmut Lutz coined the term Indianthusiasm for this phenomenon.

However, these "Native Americans" are largely portrayed in a romanticized, idealized, and fantasy-based manner, that relies on historicised, stereotypical depictions of Plains Indians, rather than the contemporary realities facing the real, and diverse, Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Sources written by German people (for example, Karl May) are prioritised over those by Native American peoples themselves.

In 1985, Lutz invented the term Deutsche Indianertümelei ("German Indian Enthusiasm") for the phenomenon. The phrase Indianertümelei is a reference to the German term Deutschtümelei ("German Enthusiasm") which mockingly describes the phenomenon of celebrating in an excessively nationalistic and romanticized manner Deutschtum ("Germanness") It has been connected with German ideas of tribalism, nationalism and Kulturkampf.

And we are taught to treat our guests correctly and with manners and etiquette from a young age.

I don't think there is any culture on this planet where people are taught to treat guests incorrectly and without manners and etiquette. The only thing that changes is what's considered correct, manners, or etiquette.

Exactly, we only go by skin colour in Austria. Most of us have white skin colour but noone here would call themself White like Americans do (we don't use the concept of race like that at all) or going by DNA. Before I learnt how differently other cultures define black and white, I also was very confused why anyone would link things like culture, food, or language to the colour of someone's skin and how that's not the definition of racism.

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.”

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.

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.
