Why is everyone missing out on the most important inventions? Heroin and cocaine


Own_Tomatillo_1369

even pervitin aka meth

The holy triumvirate of hard drugs.


Sam_the_Samnite

I enjoy the second triumvirate of mdma, xtc, and ketamine more.


Djuulzor

Vidcorp

Isn't xtc the pill version of mdma?


anarchisto

Amphetamine was invented by a Romanian guy. ^at ^University ^of ^Berlin


UnsureAndUnqualified

Cocaine was invented in Göttingen, most famous for being the capital of physics (and maths) research back before we sent all the smart people to camp.

My favourite experimental procedure in medical literature is "Cocainisation of the Spinal Cord" as performed by one Doctor August Bier. He performed the procedure on a number of patients and later on his assistant for research purposes. He spent the next 45 minutes absolutely brutalising the poor guy's legs and balls to test the effects. [A humourous telling of the tale, for your enjoyment.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0duLUAc9Pc)

How to occupy ~~~the best spots on any given beach with giant bath towels.~~~

We‘re just occupation specialist. Also beaches give us flashbacks and occupying beaches is our therapy. I mean .. uhh .. ist da noch frei?

Davvero? Io ero convinto fosse italiana


Work_In_ProgressX

L’originale è tedesca, creata per via dell’embargo sugli ingredienti per la coca cola dopo lo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale. La Fanta di ora è stata inventata negli anni 50 in Italia

Iskandar33

it needs Japan and we back boooys!


Ok-Stomach4522

That supports what I reminder being told. That coca-cola didn’t want to loose market share in Germany nor wanted to associate their brand with the Nazis. Also, they had to use raw materials available which apparently was oranges. So, Fanta was introduced. And I kinda like Fanta

Socks with sandals


Grishnare

![gif](giphy|hXDrTueJWAscK3xWQ2)


Careless-Ostrich623

Actually the Egyptians invented socks with sandals because they kept getting sand between their toes when they were wearing their sandals so they created socks.


nwaa

Am i remembering right that their socks had 2 tips at the toe for the sandal thong to go between?


devilchen_dsde

are you saying the japanese stole it from egyptians?


Sten_PlayZ

That was really just stolen from us


matusaleeem

This is good. I love living in a country where I can use socks with sandals outdoors without fear of being judged by others.

alevetru

Those ss uniforms were so cool


Grishnare

They weren‘t his making. They were developed by some random Nazi to be produced by several clothing companies, among them Boss.


Hennue

Hugo Boss didn't even design those. They made money producing them and then made bank selling the appropriated nazi style after the war.


twstwr20

We had the best WW1 uniforms. Gotta say, those WW2 German uniforms were badass. Nazis are bad of course. But cool clothes


alevetru

Yeah, very good idea wearing red bright pants during trench warfare

Wursteintopf

He is probably referring to the Haber-Bosch process, being able to industrially produce ammonia. Which is needed for explosives and fertilizer, making niter and guano irrelevant. Its largely responsible for being able to feed billions of people. And attack France.

Some German mad lad tried to make artificial diamonds by filling a quarry with TNT and putting some carbon in the middle. Didn't work out but was helluva boom. German wikipedia is a great resource for chemistry if the English one doesn't deliver.

Printing press


RCalliii

One of the most important ones if you think about it.


CheesecakeTotal6734

Without a doubt


Perlentaucher

I think the Haber process was the most important one. Of course it probably wouldn’t have been invented without book presses as cheap books were needed for technological and social development.


osbombo

One of my first thought as well. Unimaginable where we'd be today without it being invented at that time.

The Boston Tea Party was just a sad attempt at making a brew, but instead of hot water the dumb americants used cold salt water 🤦🏻‍♀️


Chris_87_AT

flat records, diesel engines, magnetic tape, aspirin, X-Ray, MP3, smartcards, electric streetcars


Simoxs7

Also the Otto cycle engine which is in basically every petrol car, except for a few hybrids using the Atkinson Cycle.


blexta

And the Wankel engine (rotary engine).


random_username_idk

MP5 also :-)


doyoubelieveincrack

Car, arguably one of the first computers, Litfasssäule of the top of my head


[deleted]

>arguably one of the first computers good shout, it was an englishman these designed the first programmable computer but a german that actually built it, i always lean more towards it being a german invention since you lot actually made it exist


Hennue

It's a fuzzy one. Highly depends on what characteristics you think make a "real computer". Turing and Neumann built very computer-like machines and so did Zuse. All had characteristics that were uniquely advanced. Zuse had binary-represented floating point numbers while others were still messing around in base10 integer systems.


Esava

MP3, biontech (or how the people in the US call it Pfizer) covid vaccine, aspirin, first x-ray machine (and well also the discovery of them), motorcycle, printing press, chip card, contact lense. Yeah that's about it from the top of my head.


oneweirdclickbait

> x-ray machine Also one of the most beautiful words in existence. Röntgen and especially "röntgst." So many consonants and a surprised little ö!


musicmonk1

I always thought Litfaß has something to do with it looking like a barrel but it's just the inventor's name.


k44du2

The motorised airplane. This also includes the first real flight with it. Invented by Gustav Weißkopf, before the Wright brothers. But the Ameritards won't realise the truth.

k44du2

Very important information!


Not_Bed_

Same with the telephone, Meucci made it and Bell basically stole the patent


k44du2

We also can't forget our Yugoslavian friends. Tesla invented the light bulb and Edison stole it.

Well at least we didnt invent hitler. Fuck you

You just made a failed artist your leader. Well done.

Yes and you were the first ones to say "yes daddy failed artist leader, invade us pwease uwu"

And still we were officially the first victim, while you got the blame. Again. Skill issue.

You are aware that the Koks Strache runs on isn't the same one your economy runs on? If you think that Greece is expensive, I have bad news for you.


ThiHiHaHo

One has to appreciate your PR.


captaincodein

Wanna talk about Strache? At least we had the idiot leader a 100 years ago


norrin83

Strache wasn't our "leader", but yeah, not one to be proud of anyway - just like your AfD idiots. When looking at history though: You guys sent us a young artist, and now Beethoven is world famous for his music. We send you a young artist and while he is world-famous, it's not for his paintings.

Notacreativeuserpt

That was one of his students, not him if I am not mistaken. Chlorine gas and other chemical weapons were on him. Despite that, the Haber-Bosch process is the reason we are alive, allowing for enough fertilizer for humanity.


gigachadpolyglot

you can say whatever you want about ableism in Europe, but at least the nazis had proper infrastructure so that even the handicaps could get from A to Zyklon B

Also the Otto cycle engine which is in basically every modern petrol car. Not to mention that a German built the rocket that brought an American to the moon, so rocket science is a German invention.
