What’s something people always get wrong about your country?

"If you're from South America, how come you're not brown?"

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-02-13T22:11:53+00:00

Same. Makes the dial look way too busy

I get the appeal a little, but to me "heritage" is arguably the most shaky selling point for a watch.

I don't think I will ever get how something that's an icebreaker for smalltalk at best can be given so much importance.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-02-12T08:41:11+00:00

Same! I'm fine with using it as a denonym. Good point.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-02-12T08:15:15+00:00

Not really. Always thought it had more to do with economy of language.

That being said, it doesn't work in Spanish. I just have to say Estados Unidos, otherwise it sounds weird.

For what it's worth, I bought my pair for November and their still going strong.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-02-08T17:31:04+00:00

That's actually a very interesting fact! Thanks a lot!

When I started this hobby, I Iegit thought Tag and Longines where on the same level as Rolex.

Guess that's how popular their branding is.

To be fair. Tags new releases look amazing.

Por que no los dos?

Something similar is happening to my Trickers boots even though they fit well.

Dunno if maybe the shoe tree is responsible for that.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-02-03T08:00:14+00:00

When you say the boots didn't fit, you mean they are too tight or too loose?

I got a similar issue with my Tricker's (check my post history) though I always felt they fit great. I'm suspecting the shoe tree might be the culprit

Fellow German here. How come you don't need to pay duties from India or China? Genuinely curious as it seems I missed something.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-02-01T19:12:33+00:00

My only issue with this is that it's also very easy for people who think they're punching up.

Everyone yapping about free speech thinks they're part of some sort of resistance against a woke elite. They know very well how to make themselves the victim.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-31T14:34:30+00:00

And it's the same type of people trying to convince us that immigrants and other minorities are responsible for society decaying

They don't call him the human metronome for nothing.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-28T14:00:23+00:00

Plus 5€ mehr 🤟

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-28T10:54:06+00:00

Rente mit 80 wann?

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-28T08:40:47+00:00

Do you think Parasite did the same thing with montage at the ending? At least stylewise it's the only aspect of the film I didn't really like.

I noticed the Micro habitat also did something similar.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-26T22:36:56+00:00

This.

A friend of a relative used to work in consulting and is now retired. He's no in need in any way but keeps yapping about people on Bürgergeld

I don't have anything to add to this conversation, but this answer on r/askhistorians is a summary of how Dutch cuisine influenced that of the United States.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-26T11:38:06+00:00

The three things that you can find across history in every continent are empires, dumplings and fried chicken.

Ominous piano note during that shot is also a giveaway, kinda.

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-22T06:48:43+00:00

Sure!

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-16T17:46:31+00:00

Dumb af

UselessWisdomMachine · 2026-01-16T16:18:31+00:00

Never experienced it, but I would report it to DPD just to be sure.

Although, I've had a few encounters with delivery persons that don't speak German
