Hello and hello thank you so much for joining me today how you doing welcome to this week in Germany where a random guy from Indiana uses the German subreddit to see what happened in Germany this week sorry I was trying to find the button to get it to pop up um
That’s what we’re doing oh and I made it go away brilliant TK just asked me to pay 6 00,000 what is TK that’s what I’m wondering right now unless it’s like some kind of way to purchase a house then this has to be a mistake didn’t know I’m paying for
Me and my future Generations in one go what on Earth hold on I got to figure out what this TK is guys I don’t read German uh can you tell me which one to press here am I impressed impress him I’m going to say this one this one probably means no
Um the app it’s an app it’s an expensive app how do I translate this stick with it that’s how it works the TK coach app supports you in advancing your health goals yeah that’s probably not worth $600,000 I need to read some comments hello peeps I’m a student
Working two part-time jobs and I just got a request from TK for €600,000 your boy normally pays per month for his health insurance as a student oh interesting okay this is a health insurance thing if you divide the amount by 120 to get how many months I’m
Paying it comes out to roughly 410 years seems legit now I’m not being optimistic but I don’t think I’ll live that long so I don’t know who f up in the office but surely someone’s got to fix this just be glad he didn’t have it on
Autopay it’s all I got to say about that that is kind of interesting 120 bucks a month and that’s for the premium insurance right that’s like private insurance on top of just regular Insurance most of the time when public health insurance comes up people who are with TK have the best
Experience with their service so I believe they Rectify this they better they’re trying to take someone’s entire freaking life savings although it’s pretty selfish if you did not pay for your descendants that’s true it’s actually a really good way of thinking about it you should pay it man
It could help a lot of people out destruction of German cities in World War II this is pretty fascinating because I think I mentioned this just in a video like a couple days ago I think I said I wonder you know on what scale were the different cities destroyed and
Here we go this is exactly what I’ve got right here Uber 5% okay so I’m just um I’m trying to read this graph I assume that it’s just however full this circle is is how destroyed it got nberg how halfway destroyed gross Berlin Hamburg halfway man almost every single City just all over
Germany such widespread destruction all the way from the north to the south from the East to the West I guess the middle right in here got the least of it that is so crazy war is so just um I don’t know what’s a PC word I can use
Stupid the video I had watched was about Bamberg which is right here above nberg and I know that one in particular they had said you know it did not get destroyed so I’m trying to find it there it is Bamberg and sure enough it is very
You know only one slice of pizza was destroyed in Bamberg but anch Bach and L made it out even more unscathed unbelievable schlo lonstein castle that is a castle fit for Rapunzel herself very stunning I don’t know I find this kind of interesting it’s a bee in Germany I
Mean it looks exactly like bees from here in Indiana I would call that a honey bee does anyone know what kind of bug this is beekeeper here oh that’s convenient that’s a bee hey I knew it not a honey Bay honeybee oh but most likely a Mar
Bean are be’s not common in Germany because who calls like who would say what kind of bug is this that’s kind of a strange question wouldn’t you say what kind of bee is this that makes me feel like are bees not common in Germany like isn’t that a
Be I thought it was a be but the tail looks different what okay all right interesting question here I I feel like maybe Europeans in general might be a little bit surprised to know that knives like this like a butterfly knife in a lot of States here are
Illegal all sorts of different knives are illegal in fact you it’s more legal to carry around a Glock and a butterfly knife in some states make that make sense but is this legal in Germany that’s a fascinating question as far as I know butterfly knives are
Not legal you are right but is that Contraption even a knife as in having a blade it’s if it’s not real and kept in your home do all the tricks you want I’m looking around on my desk I thought I have I have a butterfly pen which is pretty cool so butterfly knives
Might not be legal but you can buy a butterfly pen it’s called the balio I found this on my bike what does it mean I can tell you for sure if something like that happened in America people would say you’re definitely being stocked and about to be human trafficked
Which may or may not be true but that’s how it goes with like anything there’s all these things all over Facebook all the time oh if you you see something like this on your car they’re marking you CU they’re human trafficking you which might be true I don’t freaking
Know but what is this why is someone putting a zip tie on your bike G gonard zinin no seriously someone’s either just playful or marking your bicycle to see whether it’s still in use abandon or in what hours it’s safe to Nick it does that mean steal
It someone I suspect some kids once put a A4 paper with zo Verkin on it on my locked bike when I was just inside for 30 minutes must have been a prank I’m guessing that means for sale yep to give away someone wants to see if you remove
It to tell if the owners are aware of his bike otherwise they will it that’s pretty shitty eBay and klen continue to lose popularity in Germany interesting because eBay has not been popular here in America I love eBay but it hasn’t been popular here in America for decades
Now I mean I say that but people still do use eBay it’s just not I bet it does 12th the revenue if that maybe 140th the revenue of Amazon if I had a guess here in the US um I know your guys’s eBay has like a really long
Name but if it’s if it’s the same as here in um America then people are using Facebook that’s where they’re selling stuff now Facebook you ever heard of it which I personally don’t like because it’s not like I really like the bidding system on eBay but I guess you know nobody’s got
Time for that anymore are the colors on bont a edible um many times the colors leech inside the egg oh yeah there’s a little spot right there I would hope they’re edible that’s my honest response or at least as edible as you know a chemical painting an egg can
Be by some people’s definition it’s it’s not edible and other people will probably tell you it will give you cancer but nonetheless it’s probably just food D yes it’s just food D edit I think this is my most uploaded comment ever a thousand upvotes just for saying yeah it’s food
Dy it’s kind of a cool little dying job there it’s got a little bit of a texture going on I like that you guys dye eggs for Easter over there too huh small world I’m doing that tonight happy Easter folks interesting question why do some go to Denmark to get married I didn’t
Know they did is that like going to Las Vegas over here in America people go to Vegas to aope get married like that you pretty much just walk in get married marriage for foreign C citizens can be bureaucratic nightmare requiring many documents that are hard or expens ensive
To obtain because they need to be verified by both German and the home countries authorities Denmark doesn’t require that much and the marriage certificate is accepted by Germany that makes sense although if you’re going to accept the marriage certificate from Denmark then why don’t you just make your qualifications the same as Denmark
If you’re going to accept it from Denmark H that’s interesting all I have to say about this post he’s saying what the hell do I do and he’s posting these DB like train things all in German and he’s saying he doesn’t speak German and he’s on a train and his train is late
And he’s not sure he’s goingon to make his next train and I’m just thinking goddamn I already know this would happen to me and it probably will because I’m inevitably I’m gonna visit Germany and I already know this type of shit’s going to happen to
Me so I’ll just be you know I’ll be making YouTube posts like hey guys uh what do I do guys what is with and I mean this you know in the best way possible any landlords out there nothing against you but what’s with the German landlord suing people this is pretty
Crazy well I mean this one’s not suing people but it’s just it’s just a lot different than over here in America like the landlords and I mean don’t get me wrong landlords will try to screw you over sometimes but I just see a lot of it on the German subreddit going on
Um no they say they moved out of this apartment basically and the landlord said hey you use too much electricity so we’re keeping your deposit $1,000 deposit all of it that’s wild that’s crazy and the contract says all costs are included in the rent wow doctor refuses to give me a crank M
Dung a crank Mel dong which for those of us who don’t speak English or German a notification of illness why I assumed it meant pet like medicine like pain meds okay they refuse to give you a note a sick note um and by the way I said don’t
Speak English and I meant don’t speak German I’m struggling today folks last week I had a very keen pain on my lower back and couldn’t go to work I went to the doctor the next day couldn’t go the day of because I work nights and told
Her that I needed a crank melong and she told me that she can’t give me one because she wasn’t the one who told me to stay home and what position does this put me with my work I would say dude go online print out a crank madong fill it
In I’m just kidding don’t do that um I guess you know doctor’s notes are a little bit more it’s a little bit more of a stringent process over there in Germany No No Doctor over here would give you a hard time about giving you a a sick
Note whether there and the doctor isn’t really the one like saying oh you need to stay home it’s more like you choose whether or not you need to use one of your sick days and you tell the doctor like hey can I get a sick note does that make
Sense on the other hand some doctors directly asking how many days as soon as you enter the room you need the con you need the convince them you’re really sick and need medical help two weeks of sick leave after wisdom teeth removal wow okay so this seems like an an anomaly kind of
Or I don’t know certainly interesting scenario there is it really that big a deal could you not just explain it to your employer like hey obviously you know I work nights so I wasn’t able to go back to the same doctor and I don’t have a note like what
Are they going to do they actually going to be upset about that I just wish people would use a little bit more just like basic human empathy you know what I mean like understanding like oh yes that makes sense no problemo I know it can be a little bit
Harsh in the corporate world can’t it folks can’t it guys I think that’s about it for this week in Germany what a week it was um I’m not sure well yeah there were some news posts there I always kind of laugh when I when I finish whoa that was an
Ad anyway when I finish up of this week in Germany and there weren’t even any news stories um but there were there were folks so there we go and there was some Easter stuff you know that’s topical happy Easter I hope you guys have a great weekend I’ll see you next week goodbye

Hi Ryan, are you planning on doing anything special for your 100K subs? I really have a lot of fun with your reactions. Greetings from Germany. 👍
happy easter
Bank of America tried something like that first one with my husband's interest rate. We "fired" them.
The sick note is all about whom is going to pay the salary of the employee for that day (Medical Aid or the Employer)… it is not as trivial as you think. But usually you only need one from the 3rd day of illness
Meidling is a part of Vienna/Austria. So, it doesn´t require german law!
Greetings from Ansbach.
Happy 🌷🐰🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🎨
The doctor was a bit hard-headed there. A sick note carries 3 dates, date of diagnosis, start date of sickness and expected end date. It is completely fine to date the beginning of the sickness before the date of diagnosis—that's why both dates have to be on there. Together with the checkmark at "initial" instead of "repeat", it is completely transparent to anyone that the start date is an estimate based on the patient's statement.
THAT'S TOTALLY NOT IMPORTANT ,LOOK AT WHAT THE GERMANS HAVE DESTROYED. IN EUROPE. !!!!
1:27 Tk or Techniker KRankenkasse are a Goverment fundet Health Insurance. The Goverment, yor Workplace and you pays into a fond by there Health Insurance. Your part goes off your Paycheck. This part of your Money will not be transferred on your bank account.
4:15 Look at the story about "Konstanz" on Lake Constance. The Swiss had turned on their lights so that bombers couldn't tell at night whether it was Switzerland or Germany.
In Germany the employer has to keep paying your full salary for the first 6 weeks of your illness..
so they DO wanna make sure youre actually sick.
Thats why the sick note from the doctor is quite important to hand in..
Happy Easter Ryan to you and your family 🐇 wishing you love and joy, smiles and sunshine and lots of sweet treats. Have a great Easter weekend 🥰
you think Germans ask in an english-speaking subreddit? its foreigners who study or come to Germany that ask what a bee is 😀
11:17 if the US accepts Las Vegas marriages, why dont you make your qualifications the same?
there are several type of bees. honey bees are just the most common.
Bee/Bug: We also have quite uneducated people here. The schools have obviously already adapted to the US level.
We have a very complex weapons law and many types of knives are prohibited or may not be carried in public. A butterfly knife is one of the prohibited ones.
I use ebay more with the buy-it-now function than as an auction.
And unlike amazon, which is only for professional sellers, there are lots of used items and private sellers on ebay.
Ebay and Amazon are therefore not interchangeable, even if you can often find a product on both and a price comparison is worthwhile.
Normally it is not problem to get a sick note. Yeah some doctors are giving you the least time possible but most are asking if you need more or less, if there was a doctor who said that he will not give me a sick note because he didn't say that i need to stay home the day before i would never go to that doctor again.
Coloured eggs are quite popular in Germany because the colouring is also intended to mark that the egg is already boiled, which is an ancient tradition. The colouring used has to be edible, otherwise it would be illegal, though at least the red and blue dyes have a tendency to leech through the egg shell and they taste a bit bitter.
happy easter dear Ryan! Hope you and your close ones have a wonderful time – together or apart 🙂
ps: loved the "basic human empathy" … couldn´t agree more dude
Ryan, you don't understand the sick leave system in Germany. It's completely different from the USA. The sick note is an important document.
If you are ill and a doctor confirms this with a sick note, you will be released from work with continued payment of wages in order to cure your illness as quickly as possible.
The employer will continue to pay your salary for up to 6 weeks. After that, your health insurance will cover 90% of your salary for up to 72 weeks, as far as I know.
The entire period during which you are unable to work due to illness must be covered by sick notes in order to continue to receive your salary.
And while you are ill (with sick note), you are protected against dismissal.
These statements are somewhat simplified because I cannot take into account all the details and exceptions here, nor do I know them all.
8:38 It's sad that eBay and "Kleinanzeigen" may be losing market share. For regular products, they are often significantly cheaper than Amazon and you can also buy used/new products there from private sellers, which are significantly cheaper.
In contrast to Amazon, eBay is not a platform that produces so much “garbage”. On the contrary, you can buy used things there. Every used product prevents a new product from coming into circulation. eBay should be made more public
4:31 – you look at the picture, mentioning Bamberg, but oversee my nearly totally f…ed up hometown of Würzburg right next to it…
the difference in sick leave is simply that we have paid sick leave unlike you guys, so it is the doctors, who have to decide if you are fit for work or not, so it is legally binding.
Pforzheim was heavily destroyed too, over 90 %, I would say. One (but not the only) reason why the city is so ugly today.

Germany really likes to keep to their old fashioned and super convoluted bureaucracy, while in Denmark we strive to simplify it, and move most things online, so it ends up being much simpler and faster.
Happy Easter to you and yours, too!
0:37 it's still less in a lifetime compared to what the average american has to pay for Healthcare.
Have you seen Good Night Austria?
This is the Austrian Version of Satire
There was no destruction during the war in the small Northern Geman town where I grew up, Bad Pyrmont – there was neiter industry nor infrastructure like important railroad lines there. But it was a spa town and kinda used as a big military hospital/rehab station. All the bigger institutions where used for care of injured soldiers and the smaller hotels + b&bs for rehab. In April 1945 it was liberated by the Canadian army whithout any fight and was declared an "open town", I heard a radio report of CBC radio some years ago. It conveys how bizarre it must have been for these soldiers to meet German soldiers in uniform and a picturesque small town which appeared like there had been no war.
Unfortunately the link in the CBC archives seems to be broken.
you dont need to be PC in in germoney cuz mainly the woke folks do (my opinion) except if you wanna be an outsider LOL 🤣🤣
In my city they marked the bikes with that.
So they see wich bike is still in use or only blocks the bike parking area.
When they realize that a bike is all the time at the same spot they will one day put a massage there, if no one reacts, the bike wilkl be taken away and stored till the maximum storage time is over then they sell it in an auction.
Ryan: can't you just explain to to yer boss while hoping for empathy .. hahaha yes, but you need to "tell" this your boss IN WRITTEN FORM .. thats why you need the "notification of illness/sickness" issued by a well-disposed M.D. (in the first attempt he can prescribe you 14 consecutive Days), if you need more days after that, you have to "negotiate" aka go on playing sick 🤣🤣
Hamburg and Dresden were severely damaged and in partly devastating condition. Many cities were destroyed although there were no military or economical infrastructure. Sadly this is not present in the public. Maybe because it would missused by rightwing extremist for their own goals.

Well done you have reached the 100.000 Abos on you’re channel
(sorry for the bad englisch i am german)
The question is this egg eat able bacause the color, shows how dumb he or she is, read the fakking document and then you see its pure
food coloring. Even is the egg much much colored nothing happns to you. Otherwise it was from the law forbidden to sell.
Possible when this illness at work, on the way or back home, you must go to a other doctor, because insurance must now thats other handled as it happend only at home or in free time.
Sorry, but the users on Reddit are not the brightest candles on the cake! I sometimes wonder how old they are and what kind of schooling they've had. How most of them get through life at all is a mystery to me.
