The “regular” ist key here. I checked my local breads, saw no added sugar, saw some sweet breads with sugar, concluded that regular bread usually doesn’t contain sugar. Asked you to disprove the claim with examples, because I got curious. That’s not claiming all breads contain no sugar. That’s your interpretation, not my intended meaning.
I can also tell you why I concluded that: because I didnt count Gerstenmalz-extrakt as sugar (and didn’t know what “malted barley” translates to). I didn’t even know it was sweet. I searched for sugar in the ingredients and couldn’t find any. So now I learned something new, which is that this stuff is sweet, even if it isn’t pure sugar. Also that our breads, even if they usually taste less sweet than in other countries I’ve been to, have added sweet stuff. Good to know.
Dude, I never said no bread in Germany contains sugar. Regular supermarket bread in my area mostly doesn’t, so I was wondering. I’m not sure what got you annoyed enough about an innocent question to downvote me and turn this into a three comment answer? I really wasn’t trying to be snarky.
That’s the thing with stereotypes, it’s not about saying all people or all things are like this, it’s about tendencies. Some people play those up for humor. Anyone who then seriously claims that “everyone/everything from country x is like that” is an idiot of course. I didn’t do that though.
Thanks for giving me examples, it’s good to know that the sugar content of storebought bread is that different depending on the region. That’s all I wanted to know.
Regular, unpackaged, German bread doesn’t contain added sugar though? I just looked it up for the supermarkets in my area, so I’m sure I’m not spouting bullshit.
Genuine question, what bread did you look at?
There are varieties with sugar, but it’s not the norm. This is definitely much more typical for other countries (not just the US).
I didn’t think you could make the job of a paramedic even more exciting than it already is, but here we are.
Why would using one be an issue though? If the stencil is disposed afterwards, I don’t see an issue.
The pattern that makes us think things are cute (=young) is pretty universal among animals. It includes big eyes, big heads in relation to the rest of the body, small noses and a small mouth. We find things like cats super cute, because even adult cats are pretty close to that pattern, compared to f.e. adult humans.
So I guess that an animal whose adult form is less close to this pattern than ours would probably think of us as especially cute?
I personally think we’re pretty hideous though. Weird, hairless apes.
Where you intend to stay is part of the questioning when you enter and they can get quite suspicious if you don’t have a plan. Source: An Austrian, white friend of mine who went to the US. He also just wanted to travel around but was warned in advance (by other, mostly white europeans) that he shouldn’t state that when asked. It’s just not worth the risk.
While that’s not the same as having to show hotel bookings for the whole stay, it is a thing travelers have had to worry about for quite some time now. I’m sure it’s worse and more complicated for anyone of color.
