Those same folks went on to create FLUX.

I’m loving it.

Name something the Germans didn’t invent.

Germany actually did invent this. The brothers Wright only stuck an engine to it. The first glider that actually deserved its name was inveted by Otto Lilienthal. He died in it. Without his work, the Wright brothers would not have been able to build their plane.

Technically, the Wrights’ main contribution was the 3-axis steering mechanism, which is what made powered flight practical.

All inventions being based on some previous work, is it not the Wright who invented the airplane, and Lilienthal who invented the glider?

Greggs sausage rolls. Or are we counting the Anglo-Saxons as ex-pats?

And what about Mozart?

Germans known inefficiency pretty damn well, I can tell you that much.

The number zero, sanitation, statistics.

But they were the first to have a bakery attached.

Nope. The Brits did that, in South Africa, iirc.

Oh, right. Somehow I only noticed the original post.

You are supposed to mention things the Germans didn’t invent in this section.

IN THIS HOUSE IT WAS ANTONIO MEUCCI, END OF DISCUSSION!

Okay then, glass. Invented in 9th century in Spain.

Civil engineering. And they’ve been confused at how the Italians beat them to it ever since

The hamburger, from the city of Hamburg.

Wasn’t the hamburger invented in the US? There they had Frikadellen, which are arguably much better.

As far as the story goes, the meat-in-a-bun concept was taken by sailors from Hamburg to the USA, where it was tweaked for local preferences and then called a hamburger. So the Germans invented it, USA marketed it.

So they

Applied previous knowledge
Created something observed to be new
Named it

And that doesn’t count? What’s the definition of inventing something? If I create a new flavor of bread, does it not count because flour was already invented?

When you go back further it was the romans that brought that concept to Germany. Romans invented it, Germany tweaked it, and USA went further with it.

And German chocolate cake from Deutschschokoladenkuchen

And schadenfreude: the joy that comes from others suffering!

Fun fact: German Chocolate Cake is actually from Texas. Either the cocoa company or the baker (I can’t remember which) was named “German” and I think the original name was “German’s chocolate cake”

Correct, the credit for that goes to Texas – the use of Coconut and Pecans should have given it away, those were very ingredients rare in Germany (still kinda are to this day).

The first known instance of this recipe comes from a lady from Dallas, who named it after the brand of chocolate she was using to make it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_chocolate_cake

It’s also just a super German state from an immigration perspective. At the time, the Mexicans were very upset by all of the Europeans jumping the borders and taking work they didn’t particularly want anyway.

Sorry, Adolphe Sax was from Belgium
