Probably all the climate change shit
Also if you told a guy from 1923 that the world's most industrialized nation was China they'd probably accuse you of lying

Well I do have one, but only this one item from Germany which I would say is pretty good. A Lamy Safari.
But that is seriously my only thing at home from Germany which I would consider high quality, hell all my Thinkpads are from China after all. Lmao
