2 months agoI love explaining the Autobahn to my foreign friends. “It’s just the word for highway”. “All highways are called autobahns”. “Yes, sometimes there is a speed limit”. “Even where there’s no speed limit, we won’t be driving that fast”.

Another one-off suggestion, but Pumpkin Time fro the World/Inferno Friendship Society scratches that itch for me somehow: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qqrF1BLWuK0
Obligatory mention of “Atheists don’t got no songs”: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xmwAD7nHqaY
Hrm, I wasn’t aware of that difference. In Germany, the “fastest” roads are called “Autobahn”, and they have no speed limit by default, and have no traffic lights. The next level down are called “Bundesstraße”: they have a default speed limit of 100 km/h, and sometimes run through towns (lower speed limit), and sometimes have only one lane in each direction.
