1 day vs 10 years in Germany | Recycling 🥤

Germany will make you recycle

[BenRangel]

You forgot the phase where you're carefully ripping each piece of tape off your cardboard box because you can't stand the idea of anything non-cardboard going in that bin

[ventsislavminev]

This is accurate because it took him 10 years to learn the language.

Plot twist : The note from 10 years ago was done by his future self that became so dedicated to recycling...

1 day: confusion
1 week: more confusion
1 month: frustration
1 year acceptance
5 years: anger
10 years: a r r e s t h i m

When i'm in a snitching competition and my opponent is a German:

[humera]

That's exactly how it is also in British Columbia Canada. This video is a true depiction of how you go from finding it weird to becoming obsessed with sorting. When I go to Texas and see my family just dump stuff without sorting, I feel so agitated as if a heinous crime is being committed and I can't do anything about it.🤷

Being a tattle tale is the national sport in Germany

[sk.n.]

I lived in Germany for about 20 years. This is totally accurate!

[Nukin_Paladin]

Ah yes the German tradition of calling the secret police on neighbors you dislike

[renehenriquez]

I admit it, I got addicted to these videos! 😂

[xironbeastx]

Bro went from sorting recyclables to snitching to the gestapo.

[grzegorzk]

he learned to snitch on his neighbour, like a true german

[sammyt]

You're freaking hilarious, and German! Two words I never thought I'd say in the same sentence 😂 Subbed!

[alopam]

Still waiting for the "20 years in Germany - he finally realizes he's being duped and nothing really gets recycled"

[RomanesEuntDomus.]

"In Germany we are civilised, we recycle!"
That really got me 😂😂

[ShinjiTheBaka]

Germans do this then shut down nuclear power plants to build another 10 coal factories

[BennyFireKing]

In the UK we have our recycling collected outside our houses on the street. Separate small bins for metal and plastics, a reusable bag for cardboard and another bin for food waste (the lid locks so no animals can get to it). Communal recycling bins like the video are used for those in flats where they empty recycling together.

[epicflounder]

Ah yes... Reporting on your neighbors... Very German indeed

[muratyol]

This video would make a perfect loop. When you check the footage to see who has been using bins wrongly, you see "1 day in Germany" version of yourself. And so on...
