Oh and the million billion airport they've been building since 1720 and will never open.

I mean the major thing about Germans I know is their obsession with following rules and regulations. I always thought that "German efficiency" was a sarcastic meme.

you could ostensibly say that germans are very efficient at smoking in public, however

Jerry Cotton posted:Having had to co-operate with German industry for a few years now I really have no idea where the myth about German efficiency comes from. Everything they touch becomes a hot mess. Germanization is the new word for the opposite of harmonization here. is that where you put mark harmon in charge of everything

The secret of German efficiency lies in being very efficient in deciding who counts as German. In particular, it is imperative to exclude the South (Bavarians) and the East (AfD/GDR) as well as certain parts of the North and the West.

german efficiency is a myth, people mistake their perfectionism with efficiency because the end result of german manufacturing and such is often very high quality. however its rarely a streamlined and efficient process to get there.

I was in germany recently and any sort of outdoor restaurant has the table be a top built on top of a trash barrel and that seems like the definition of the philosophy of efficiency over all else. Like nothing about eating food over a trash can full of old sausage bits is even remotely appealing but it means you don't have to move at all to eat the food and then dispose of the trash.

(To which the local answer, of course, is "if it was good it wouldn't be on the street".) berlin street food is "take a sausage, cut it up, then drown it in a special sauce: the special sauce is ketchup with some curry powder on top of the ketchup" so yeah probably.
