    this is not a German thing. they exist outside of Europe, let alone Germany, as pretty much standard. I’m actually surprised if Americans don’t have to this. although I think shouldn’t be, considering in how many ways it’s such an ass backwards country.

    edit: just want to clarify that I don’t know whether Germans invented it or not; by “not a German thing” i meant it’s not exclusive to Germany.

        From where I am from, they are called Plastic Windows. Seems to be they were indeed either created or made popular by Germans.

        this is funny, because I’m pretty sure most sold in Germany are made in Poland. Not that Poland invented them or anything
