  Empty landmass isn’t the only important thing.

  I.e. Florida, the third most populous US state (21M), is about half the size of the whole of Germany.

  But Germany’s most populous state (North Rhine - Westphalia / NRW) has a pop of 18M.

  It’s waaaaay smaller, but the n of inhabitants is comparable.

  To the point: I don’t think , it’s necessary to know the names of foreign states. But it’s good to know roughly what’s going on in the world. It is no secret, that US Americans are exceptionally caught in their own bubble.

  Historically

  You use that term rather lightly. Idk, if I think “historically” my mind goes further back than 120 years. At least to the Spanish Habsburgs’ occupation, maybe even Burgundian era, Lotharingia, the Franks or the Belgae tribes.

  It is technically history, but that’s like saying: “Historically, I nourish myself with broccoli pizza” just because I had some yesterday.

  If you think about fair trade and rainforest alliance, there are many “green” labels and fair worker wage/ no slavery labels. Most of them are owned by a brand and not transparent.

  We could use some clarification there.

  Well, Dachshund is literally German for badger dog. (Dachs = badger, Hund = dog)

  We are trying to get along. We are already speaking English, which is a massive step in your direction. US commenters and posters don’t even bother to convert to kilometres or something. Or the worst: write about something that happened in AK as if everyone knows postal shortages of the US.

  And Toes has a different preference to them all, which is also valid.

  Look at this thread. Which one is the different preferred flavour profile?

  Yeah, like a digital “ideal line” that the cars can follow.

  Maybe even a physical guiding line.

  We could even connect all the cars via WLAN (WiFi) to exchange info when they are braking and accelerating. That would increase efficiency.

  Maybe we could even connect them physically to have a stronger engine pulling more cars more efficiently.

  If we already have an ideal guiding line, we might actually save some asphalt and make the roads more optimised. Use different materials so the tyre particles don’t pollute as much.

  Ah, let’s just build a train.
