Europe only

As a German I might know a few but am curious if there are some more.

Cow milk? Fat percentage? Refrigerated? Uht? Delivered by the milk boy to your home? Glass bottle, plastic bottle, bag or tetra pack?

How popular are shows about home renovation/diy?

I don’t

Does your country have children’s hospitals?

Here in New Zealand it is a centralised state: often you read or watch media content and everyone gets the same content whether you are in Wellington, Auckland, or Westport. It can sometimes get ridiculous as in all the media is talking about a local news such as road closures in Auckland even in the South Island

When it comes to government services, parks, libraries, local roads and water matters (water for the time being) are run by the local councils. But everything else is the central government’s matters. It matters less these days if you want to reach the central government: you access them online directly, but in the old days the individual central government agencies like Ministry of Social Development, Education, Inland Revenue Department, have local offices around and you go and make an appointment to see them directly. We don’t have a local representative of the local government that you go see and sort things out.

Is it similar in your country?

What are the most well lit and bright countries and cities in Europe?

In terms of infrastructure, street lighting, no need to complicate things.

From France, probably lot of eighty stuff if you are with your family

Les démons de Minuit - Image

Voyage Voyage - desirless

Téléphone - Ça

Michel Sardou - Les lacs du Connemara (Last song ending the night)

Claude François -Alexandrie Alexandra

How long a term and are they fixed or adjustable? Most common in the US is a 30 year fixed term, and was curious as to what was common in Europe. Thanks in advance!

Basic question, how if at all does your country feel about Mussolini?

Something that I've been curious about for a while, what languages have a different word for 'god' (as in a random deity in a polytheistic pantheon) and 'God' (the Abrahamic one).

For instance, Romanian has "zeu" for god, and "Dumnezeu" for God. Any other language that has something like this?

I've heard that in Germany or Switzerland dialects differ very much, and you can tell very quickly where someone is coming from. But I've always been told this by linguists so I have no idea whether it works for ordinary people too. In my language we have few dialects, but all I can tell is speaking one of them, I can't identify which. And I would expect it to work like that for most people, honestly But maybe I'm wrong?

(YOU is all caps, because I wanted to make it clear, that I'm talking about you, the reader, ordinary redditer, not about general possibility of knowing dialects)

Edit: honestly it's crazy that everyone says "yes, obviously", I was convinced it was more like purely theoretical, only distinguished by enthusiasts or sth. Being able to tell apart valley or cities seems impossible

Terje is a masculine given name of Scandinavian origin, a varian of Torgeir. In Estonia, it is a feminine given name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terje_(name)

What does your country do to celebrate new years?

With Dry January coming soon, how popular are the non-alcoholic versions of things like beer, wine and spirits are where you are, and what types are available?

Here in Britain, you can get Guinness 0.0, Leffe 0, Gordon's Gin 0 and alcoholic-free Kylie sparkling wine.

My boyfriend was on a trip for a week recently, and I realised I haven't touched anyone all this time, not a single hug, handshake, or even touching fingers while handing something. And it's not like I choose to stay in my room all the time to avoid people. It seems to be quite common in Poland, to stay away from other people, and physical greeting are not really a thing

Bottom text. But seriously, it's a couch/sofa that folds out into a bed.

Are EVs common? And if so, what are the top makes/models?

If your country has mandatory military service how does it work? Does everyone get conscripted? Is it just a few?

Since quite a few European countries are reintroducing it I'm just wondering what would happen for a student who is currently in university in another country but I'm also just generally curious about how the systems work in your countries

Does it still work fine? Have you ever thought of replacing it? Why/why not?

The oldest appliance we have is our microwave, must be around 25 years old. Still works as well as the day we bought it. We also have a juicer that's probably 40 years old, but it's not much used anymore. It would still work, though.

I know my family in Canada love pumpkin in all its many forms, pies, coffee, pancakes, everything. But I don’t know if it’s a thing across the pond.
