USUAL in your country but NOT anywhere else.
-
Almost everyone has a sauna or at least access to one at or near their home.
Finland for those wondering.
So you get naked for using the sauna in your home?
You sluts! -
Being very touchy and physical.
Cheek kisses are usual for strangers. And it's normal to touch people you barely know or have a small friendship.
Country is Spain.
How small does the friendship need to be for me to casually smooch all the pretty members of your society?

Losing a ground war against flightless birds.

dude's airing your dirty laundry in public.
I'm more than happy to replace him in your country. I'll blend in 'swimming-costume-wearing-at-lunch' in no time. -
Poutine.
I was in Canada and I wanted to poutine. I could hardly find any. Ask I had just gravy on fries

You're at the grocery store and want to buy a single bottle of milk or coke, but they're only sold in packs of 6? Just tear open a pack and take one bottle.

Indoors meaning a home, right? Because i doubt everyone is kicking their shoes off once they get to school/work/grocery stores
I had to take off my shoes in multiple resturants, "hotels" and museums in Japan for example.

Depends on the region. Where I live mostly as soon as they know your name.

I see that lots in Canada as well, but often the 6-pack is way cheaper per unit, to the point where sometimes a 6-pack is the same price as a single.

Where in Canada? That sounds like a 'berta thing lol. I can go to just about any random restaurant here and if they serve fries, chances are they have some sort of poutine option

Congratulate everyone with someone else's birthday. Netherlands.
Gefeliciteerd.

Being able to go basically anywhere by bike, foot, or public transport. And just our bike infrastructure in general. I honestly don't know how I could live in most other countries because it seems like basically everything happens by car or foot. Being able to bike anywhere is so much nicer and gives a lot of freedom from an early age.
Strangely we Dutch people also seem to be quite alone in our view that helmets on normal bikes are not really necessary. They make bikes more prevalent imo, because you don't have to drag a helmet along everywhere. You just park you bike and the only thing you have with you because of it is a key, no special clothes, helmets, etc. I think that's also possible because of our bicycle infrastructure and culture.
Kids learn to bike from a young age, in traffic. You see very young kids just cycle on their smol little bike with a parent on the outside sort of shielding them from traffic. Safely on bike roads, but also just on shared roads with cars. In general kids are quite free to just play outside. I live close to a school and I see plenty of kids all across the neighborhood, just playing without parental supervision. It's what we did back in the day too, without mobile phones or anything. We'd usually be home on time for dinner or our parents would find us somewhere in the neighborhood and tell us it was time to get home.
Dutch isn't a country, therefore the utopia you describe doesn't exist and is impossible to create.

First of all,
You fuckers need to bring out your own dictionary.
Budgie smugglers? I thought that's Australian for Gum Boots. Turns out, it kinda is actually, but for your Johnson & co.
Secondly,
When wearing a thong (the real sexy kind) in a grocery store becomes a norm in your part of planet, I'm moving there permanently.
Third,
Lunch\Cafe in your beachwear?
Bro, you should've started with this.
Imma land there now.Secondly, When wearing a thong (the real sexy kind) in a grocery store becomes a norm in your part of planet, I’m moving there permanently.
I want you to pause for a second and think what the average person looks like.

Please immediately stop this line of thinking. It is verging on creep territory.

Mass shootings are likely now what we all imagine. I think most of us are imagining the left side of this chart. And I'd say the leftmost three sources are hardly conservative.
Yeah, the "high schooler shoots up a school" or "crazy guy shoots up a mall" school shootings are incredibly rare. The majority of "mass shootings" are gang related violence. And even if you include all the instances and assumed you were equally likely to be involved in any of them (you aren't), it would still be incredibly unlikely for you to ever be involved in such a situation.
Gun deaths in general are not what most people imagine they are. 2/3 of them are suicides. Of the remaining 1/3, they will almost certainly be perpatrated by someone the victim had a pre-existing relationship with.
Not to say that gun violence is not a problem. But the view some of the lunatics on this site seem to have - that going out to eat lunch in America is more dangerous than living in Gaza - is just completely false.

Germany: public benches are specifically placed to be full view of the sun for as long as possible, a wild proportion of people have bread slicing machines, and you’re not allowed to prevent someone from using even a private toilet if they really need it.
It's so pleasant that DM has clean toilets for when I've poorly planned my liquid intake, shops in France don't generally have toilets for the public and the malls that do don't really care if they're clean it seems.

like it is unusual to wear footwear indoors in asia.It's absolutely acceptable to go to a university lecture at 8 am, and sit in the front row with a beer. The professors won't mind. You can buy beer in the cafeteria as well as in a vending machine at the library.
Pulling out a bottle of hard liquor is frowned upon tho.
