Without Googling, name something Germany invented
@HumansNoContext Mercedes-Benz. Thanks to Gottlieb Daimler & Karl Benz.
@HumansNoContext The MP3 audio compression format. The Fraunhofer Society, a German research institution, played a significant role in developing this technology, which revolutionized the way digital music is stored and transmitted.
@HumansNoContext The X-ray machine, which was discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895.
👉Gummy Bears: Invented by Hans Riegel, the founder of Haribo, in the early 20th century.
Here is few: * Printing Press by Johannes Gutenberg * Automobile by Karl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler * Aspirin by Felix Hoffmann * X-ray by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen * Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein * Diesel Engine by Rudolf Diesel * Contact Lenses by Adolf Eugen Fick * MP3 Format by Karlheinz Brandenburg

@HumansNoContext Fanta, Cars, and Aspirin - I could think on top of my head Karl Benz, First Automobile maker Fanta - it was created due to US sanctions on Germany during world war 2 Aspirin - as a painkiller

@HumansNoContext Germany invented time after World War 2 to measure the degree of amelioration of their shame
@HumansNoContext Very easy, music: Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Mendelssohn, Haydn, Schumann, Brahms, etc…
@HumansNoContext Germany is a hub for innovation! How about the Gutenberg printing press?
Most historians question the accuracy of the legend, but it remains a popular story in German cultural heritage. Conrad III was trying to subdue Welf opposition led by Welf VI, who was supporting the rival claimant to the throne. Weinsberg was a strategically significant town, which is why it came under siege in the first place.In Germany, the phrase “Weibertreu” has sometimes been used in a broader cultural context to signify faithfulness or clever resolve, thanks to the tale. Local events and reenactments sometimes take place in Weinsberg to commemorate the siege and the legend of the faithful wives, contributing to local culture and tourism.
