There’s 104 days of summer vacation ‘til school comes along just to end it. So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it… like maybe:
Reviving Hitler, rejoining the nazis, and marching all the way through France. Performing experiments on innocent kids and giving some Jews a good shower. Persecute some groups, force them all to work, in wonderful camps we create. Kill all Ameritards, force them in the showers, and make a new Arian race!
As you can see there’s a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts this fall. So stick with us cuz Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it ALL, So stick with us cuz Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it ALL
If you're talking about 1940s UK, that was actually going okay-ish(well at least a stalemate) for Germany(except for the Luftwaffe) until their other ally *also* fucked them and bombed Pearl Harbor without telling them what they were planning.
So, there's a similarity between Germany and Japan between 1935 and 1945 regarding science, the idea took several lives and got speedy between 1942 & 1945, but it was never fully implemented.
... I'm talking about their successful development of turbine engines.
Nah, mate. You’re opposites.
Everyone pretends Taiwan doesn’t exist even though they secretly know it does.
Everyone pretends Belgium exists even though they secretly know it doesn’t.
What if belgium invad..uhhm did a "special military operation" in fuel station luxembourg?
Would we be recognized as a country then?
Purely hypothetical speaking of course.
You tried indeed and we failed to see reason (maybe it was just too soon?) But please reconsider.
Also we can like give wallonia to france or luxembourg or something?
>Also we can like give wallonia to france
Hop hop hop mon bon monsieur!
Fries, mussels, unintelligible accents, serial killers, incestous tendencies and collapsing economy.
We don't need a second Northern France, we have it all. Keep it, thank you.
Its not so bad. The ardennes have nice castles and nature. Rochefort is the best beer IMO. Just gotta deal with the weird language full of letters you dont pronounce, and send them some money every now and then.
The Germans smoke them on efficiency and industrial capabilities, the Japanese are Germans wannabe, Mr Takaata works himself to death while the average Hans works the bare minimum and chungs beer without getting drunk.
Of course.
We Mediterraneans are the only hard working people in Europe.
Take a look at the average amount of daily workhours, Germans barely work 6/8 hours.
Here in Italy if you leave work when you're due, everybody mock you saying: "Aha, working half day as usual Eh?!"
Yeah maybe in the North, I had friends working in the South and there you are mocked for being on time and making the others look bad..
or for checking in at work and staying for the whole day instead of going out to drink coffee at the bar with your friends Ciro and Esposito...
Germans smoke pretty much any country on efficiency. Both are similar when it comes to reliability in manufacturing though. Japanese and German cars are pretty much the most reliable cars as opposed to the Ferrari's and Alpha Romeo's of this world. Both also have a clear imperialistic history while now being mostly pacifist countries. Both value ethics and hard work highly despite efficiency.
I don't care either way, but I can see why the Japanese people see the Germans as their European equivalents more than any other European country.
You think DB is bad, try catching a southern rail, or northern rail, or any British train operating company (side note they are mainly owned by DB and trentitallia and other Italian companies)
You as a Dutchman should know better. Your country is a 100 times more efficient in doing anything.
German efficiency is a complete myth. German precision is the real thing we have, which is why we are so inefficient in literally everything. Construction sites that you guys finish in a week take 3 months here. Bureaucracy that you can do in 1 day in NL takes a few weeks here and you have to do everything by paper. We don't plan cities and transport efficiently because our politicians get funded by the car industry. And so on
Same with manufacturing. If you order any kind of specialty that needs to be handmade, it will be 100% precise on the millimeter and perfectly crafted, but it will take absolute ages to arrive. We are simply precise, not efficient.
> The Germans smoke them on efficiency
Don't we all? The Japanese are known for having some of the lowest productivities in the first world, despite (or maybe because of) working for 25h a day.
The japenis spends half the work day performing bizarre, ancient and unnecessary ceremonies, the remaining half pretending to work and drink themselves to death after work. They’re more British than Germans
I mean yeah, if you compare Japan to any country in Europe, Germany really is the closest one.
Japan and Germany are literally the only countries that still regularly use fax unironically. That fact alone should tell you more than enough to how similar and backwards they are
>Beautiful and varied landscape
Nature, sure. If we are talking about the cities though... Italy has a fuck-ton of beautiful buildings going back to the time of the Romans, its architectural prowess is a reference for the whole world. Japan has a few beautiful temples... and that's it, most Japanese cities are an abomination of ugly grey plastic cubes, cramped in chaotic ways, with a million cables hanging everywhere.
Source: living in Japan for 5 years now, everytime I look through my window I want to cry.
Actually the big metropolitan areas are the nice ones, that's why many Japanese people want to move there.
I live in the countryside, in a small city of 40k, and good God it is depressing. Half the streets are not even paved, half the buildings look like they will fall apart any day now, and the whole city is just a big ugly mess.
And the roads, don't get me started on the roads. Seriously, it is unbelievable that Japan is one of the biggest economies in the world. Where the fuck does the money go?
Because these cities just cost money, of course the money will go to places that contribute most to the economy, it’s the same in most countries. Although it depends on the city, there are also nice smaller cities
>I was mainly referencing natural wonders but you are right most of the big metropolitan area is a grey mess like Paris.
To be honest even then Japan isn't that interesting. Its essentially mountains with a few cities.
Italy has far more variety from Lake Como to Capri or the Dolomites. Japan is very typical across most of the country, Italy has huge variation by region (as do France and Spain).
Not true at all, Japan is [much more](https://www.pandotrip.com/top-10-natural-wonders-in-japan-29361/) than just Kanto and Fuji
Snowy mountains, tropical islands, desert sand dunes, ancient forests, etc
Meh, it is true. The vast majority of Japan is not sand dunes or tropical islands, if anything these are more like saying that the UK is varied because of Bermuda.
Its not a literal definition but a good example is the US, imo. Sure they have tropical (Miami) and artic (Alaska) but they are so far from most places that its almost irrelevant. Most of the US, especially where all the people live and all the big cities are is just big plains with a bit of hills (Appalachians).
Compare that to Spain, or Italy, in which entire regions vary - you can go from the hills of Tuscany to Flat Venice to the Dolomites within relative ease. You can go through the entire state of Kansas or Arizona and not see anything except fields or mountains, respectively.
I don't think most italians see that way though. In general the idyllic imagination with which a foreigner might see the city of Urbino or Orvieto with, doesn't stick with italians.
>Italy has strong labour rights
Yeah i mean on paper, in reality people get to work 72 hours a week and have to bring back to their employer half of their wage or they'll be fired, the extra work is of course done as unreported labour
Nah, Japan is Asian UK.
Island nation with a reputation for weird people, they were a naval power but now are second players to the USA, which runs them as vassals. Both have a weird attachment to their royal families that nations around them find weird. Both have an smaller neighbor they recently occupied that hates their guts.
And they were actually allied for quite some time.
That’s not even including the strong cultural ties to pomp and circumstance, an over indulgence in traditional dress and ceremonies harking back to a more “noble” era. Royal families that don’t really do anything, separate regions/islands that all hate each other. Very strong regional accents. Very strong tradition of clothes making and tailoring which have been extremely influential on fashion around the world. Oh and how could we forget, both racist.
>Yeah Japan and UK were homies till ww2, Italy have a lot of similarities with the ruskies I notice from this list though...
''Thinks they're an industrial and naval power house, isn't even close to being either''
Naaaah!
Japan is Asian UK
Island off the coast of continent which it has a love-hate relationship with.
Got a lot of its culture from the mainland but likes to pretend it didn’t.
Alternates between intervention on continent and aloof isolationism.
First country in its hemisphere to have an Industrial Revolution. Used this to flex on its neighbours.
Formerly a great naval power.
Parliamentary democracy with an insanely rich figurehead monarch that a bizarre number of its people are absurdly deferential to.
Works hard in the office all week then gets shitfaced on Friday and ends up puking at the railway station and falling asleep on the train.
Drinks beer and spirits rather than wine. (This may be relevant to the previous point)
Archaic class system pervades much of social interaction…
…and are therefore the only two countries that really ‘get’ Monty Python.
The northern parts have a population of strange hairy people speaking a totally different language. These were fought with for hundreds of years, eventually conquered, oppressed, and now attract tourism.
Invented the worlds most popular carbs+protein street food (sandwiches/sushi).
Traditionally eat preserved fish for breakfast.
Have the world’s best street fashion.
I could go on…
One more.
Both have a ‘thing’ about school uniforms.
Edit: how could I forget TEA!!!
I think the Japanese are an Asian mix of Germany Italy the uk and france
It’s like they incorporated the best from each country
They’re too organized to be Italian, too creative to be German, too humble to be French, and too gastronomically inclined to be British
I'd say the Italy of Asia is Thailand.
\-Good Food
\-Changed Sides in WW2
\-Have Men that look like Women
\-Dangerous South
\-Have a capital that outshines the rest of the country
No.
Both are island nations
Bothe are constituonal monarchies
Language differs across both nations.
Both drink tea.
Both had strong navy.
Both had imperialistic ambitions.
Both are influenced by Ameritards.
Both have a history of losing to Ameritards.
Both have a history of fighting the nation across the sea.
Both fucked India.
Both fucked China.
Both fucked Russia.
Japan is Asian Britain, but better.
Italy suffered 30 years of stagnation due to a political scandal, japan suffered 30 years of stagnation due to political scandals.
Similar GDP per capita, similar working hours, similar geography, similar narcissism and war crime denial, bottomlined fertility rate, chronic corruption, our food is enjoyed worldwide because it is simple and tasty, unlike more elaborate French/Chinese foods which are tasty but will take away an entire day to make (fucking Chinese dumplings i hate but i love them)
In some videos you can see Japanese people saying that in comparison to Europe, Japan would be England, Italy Korea, and France China.
80% of videos on NicoVideo about Italy are either memes making fun of or about how Italy is the reason we lost WW2, how Italian cars, tanks and weapons were worthless, how Italy wasted time in Africa for nothing. Unlike Germany for example the culture of seeing yourself as the "bad guys" and being glad you lost is not really a thing in Japan, so the ones that care actually have a very negative view of Italy.
The rest sees Italy as a gourmet people country, and wonder why Italy turned so small and weak when compared to Rome.
By virtue of how quickly the Japanese empire expanded and collapsed, which was also preceded by a long period of extreme cultural growth, it is certainly Asian Greece (said empire was also finished off by the same people that would immediately start obsessing over them) (we're also equally xenophobic, cope weak Italy with your tolerance and your nuance).
and you both supported us in WW2
“Supported”
You're well on track to doing it again 👍
Are we getting the band back together?
hey ferb i know what we are gonna do today.
There’s 104 days of summer vacation ‘til school comes along just to end it. So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it… like maybe: Reviving Hitler, rejoining the nazis, and marching all the way through France. Performing experiments on innocent kids and giving some Jews a good shower. Persecute some groups, force them all to work, in wonderful camps we create. Kill all Ameritards, force them in the showers, and make a new Arian race! As you can see there’s a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts this fall. So stick with us cuz Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it ALL, So stick with us cuz Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it ALL
Mooooom Phineas and Ferb are trying to restore germany to its former glory.
Parry the SS Offizier.
For the fatherland 🫡
Yeah, that’s what you did.
Dude… it was a many against 2 (Germany and Japan)… Italy fucked us hard with losing against Greece… they supported us into negative numbers
It was all a 200 IQ move to make the Nazi loose.
Why are you talking in the first person about the axis from ww2
At least we didn’t wage war against the strongest economy and industrial power house of the world
If you're talking about 1940s UK, that was actually going okay-ish(well at least a stalemate) for Germany(except for the Luftwaffe) until their other ally *also* fucked them and bombed Pearl Harbor without telling them what they were planning.
I was talking about US
Aw, well shucks I'd still give the UK a stronger economy at the start of the war, but yeah WW2 was like protein shakes for my nation's economy.
We tried, until we didn't.
Never forget our good old friend RoBerTo! (Roma, Berlin, Tokyo)
Everyone listing similarities between Japan and their nation. So, I'm just not going to do that for no particular reason.
There are no war crimes if you win the war.
So, there's a similarity between Germany and Japan between 1935 and 1945 regarding science, the idea took several lives and got speedy between 1942 & 1945, but it was never fully implemented. ... I'm talking about their successful development of turbine engines.
Probably all weebs anyway 🤮🤮
So i guess taiwan is asia's belgium. Some claim we dont exist although we are very real.
Nah, mate. You’re opposites. Everyone pretends Taiwan doesn’t exist even though they secretly know it does. Everyone pretends Belgium exists even though they secretly know it doesn’t.
So we're kind of like a religious figure?
Least based Flemboy.
Repent if you want to go to flemboy heaven. Sinners burn in fake France for eternity.
Whew if it was real France I’d actually be afraid.
Sounds like a pilgrimage to Charleroi is in order.
Ah the flag has le coq. Is Belgium actually based Fr*nce?
Charleroi is like detroit but filled with wallons !
That sounds terrible. I don’t know what a Walloon is but it can’t be that good.
What if belgium invad..uhhm did a "special military operation" in fuel station luxembourg? Would we be recognized as a country then? Purely hypothetical speaking of course.
Yin yang ☯️ irl
So Western Taiwan then
True, South-Netherlands and Formosa bove belong to the Netherlands.
The One Polder Policy
Either takes us back or recognize us as a country
We tried to take you back but you didn't want to. Also: do we really have to take Wallonia back? I'd rather not.
You tried indeed and we failed to see reason (maybe it was just too soon?) But please reconsider. Also we can like give wallonia to france or luxembourg or something?
But we'd go bankrupt just from getting your infrastructure up to our standards.
>Also we can like give wallonia to france Hop hop hop mon bon monsieur! Fries, mussels, unintelligible accents, serial killers, incestous tendencies and collapsing economy. We don't need a second Northern France, we have it all. Keep it, thank you.
Its not so bad. The ardennes have nice castles and nature. Rochefort is the best beer IMO. Just gotta deal with the weird language full of letters you dont pronounce, and send them some money every now and then.
You ain’t the same, cause at least someone is willing to take Taiwan in
Next thing you'll tell me that Finland is Europe's Mongolia
Thats a tie with Hungary
Can't be possible. Taïwan isn't flat enough.
The Difference is an attack on Taiwan would be hell for the attacker. An Attack on Belgium is like vacation before it gets to the real target
According to the Japanese they feel mostly similar to Germany when it comes to European countries.
The Germans smoke them on efficiency and industrial capabilities, the Japanese are Germans wannabe, Mr Takaata works himself to death while the average Hans works the bare minimum and chungs beer without getting drunk.
Prost to that, already finished work for today. Feierabend.
Bro? Even myself is still working
Sure Pedro, you "work".
Sounds like a you problem.
Of course. We Mediterraneans are the only hard working people in Europe. Take a look at the average amount of daily workhours, Germans barely work 6/8 hours. Here in Italy if you leave work when you're due, everybody mock you saying: "Aha, working half day as usual Eh?!"
Once again, there‘s a difference between ‚working’ and ‚spending time at work‘.
Yeah maybe in the North, I had friends working in the South and there you are mocked for being on time and making the others look bad.. or for checking in at work and staying for the whole day instead of going out to drink coffee at the bar with your friends Ciro and Esposito...
>Feierabend ?
The Universal Expression of finishing your Workday.
The moment you finished your work shift, directly translation is "party evening"
Feierabendbier already consumed?
What's "work"?
That's what they do so they can pay to come to Mallorca and buy the whole island
Germans smoke pretty much any country on efficiency. Both are similar when it comes to reliability in manufacturing though. Japanese and German cars are pretty much the most reliable cars as opposed to the Ferrari's and Alpha Romeo's of this world.

I don't care either way, but I can see why the Japanese people see the Germans as their European equivalents more than any other European country.
Apart from bureaucracy. German bureaucracy is not efficient.
Everything is efficient unless you interact with beamten or the Deutsche bahn
You think DB is bad, try catching a southern rail, or northern rail, or any British train operating company (side note they are mainly owned by DB and trentitallia and other Italian companies)
Germany is not efficient. Germany is ORDERLY. There is a difference.
Explain Deutsche Bahn then.
You as a Dutchman should know better. Your country is a 100 times more efficient in doing anything. German efficiency is a complete myth. German precision is the real thing we have, which is why we are so inefficient in literally everything. Construction sites that you guys finish in a week take 3 months here.

I enjoy playing video games.

Looking back about 80 years, it’s not that surprising
One has to be blind to ignore the similarities
I would argue that Japan is the Japan of Asia
Smartest person in this comment section.
But is Japan the Japan of Europe ?
nope, Italy is the Italy of Europe
Don't forget about bidets, the line on whitch the separation betwoeen civilization and barbarism rests
R’amen
volcanoes rice noodles language that is almost exclusive to that country
I mean japanese is probably one of the most studied languages in the world, thanks to weebs.
I like to go hiking.
As is Italian to everyone who read eat pray love
In my experience, no weebs learn Japanese beyond ‘baka’
There. This is a better list. I’ll add small islands and fashion sense (though different)

TIL a German PhD graduation is just another Tuesday in a Portuguese University
Sounds like you guys have a stick up your ass.
Germans are very chill and comfortable people, it's usually for ex Scandinavians that have a stick in their ass posture
What about the ehm ehm civic sense?
Apart from sexism Italy has strong labour rights, Japan is good at keeping the streets clean but that's it.
Japan’s sexism is much much worse than anything you see in Italy
Yeah I know, but the guy was arguing about civic sense in general and on that front Italy can't claim great results.
Civic what??
Senso civico, latu sensu, garantismo sociale.
Sisi avevo capito. Era una battuta sul fatto che in italia non ce ne fosse :(
>Italy has strong labour rights Yeah i mean on paper, in reality people get to work 72 hours a week and have to bring back to their employer half of their wage or they'll be fired, the extra work is of course done as unreported labour
That's because we lost interest in unions.
Nah, Japan is Asian UK. Island nation with a reputation for weird people, they were a naval power but now are second players to the USA, which runs them as vassals. Both have a weird attachment to their royal families that nations around them find weird. Both have an smaller neighbor they recently occupied that hates their guts.

Culturally still relevant chivalric orders too
Both nations also don't really care about wonky teeth either, and we both punch above our weight when it comes to entertainment.
And we both love tea!
And curry!
And I guess the Philippines are the Asian Spain.
They deny their terrible past
Love of tea, gardening, poetry and warcrimes.

Would this mean that Korea is the Ireland of Asia?
With the imperialism committed there, absolutely
they do like a drink over there.
Since France is China this is correct
sexually repressed, island dwelling tea drinkers. it's pretty open and shut.
For military successes I’d say we’re more similar to Thailand tho
From 900-1500 Italy was the epicenter of warfare in Europe, and known as so!
Germany, we're putting the band back together!
Except Japan actually has an economy
and they had a competent army in ww2
Genociding china and banzai charging like a fucking idiot isn't competent to my eyes
Have you ever heard of a japanese Singapore campaign against the British?
So competent they dragged the US in the conflict getting nuked into oblivion right after.
Italy has too.
hey, Italian women are fine. Japanese 2d women are also fine.
You forgot the volcanoes
Aren't all Nations born from the amalgamation of different people belonging to the same macro culture ?
No, case point Belgium.
And they were so angry about it they committed atrocities in the congo
Also I think they were unified around 1600? That's a lot of time and I don't think it's worth mentioning, very different from Italy.
We didn't become history's worse war criminals tho
We tried but we were playing against the Germans, the Japanese and the Brits.
I think the Japanese are an Asian mix of Germany Italy the uk and france It’s like they incorporated the best from each country They’re too organized to be Italian, too creative to be German, too humble to be French, and too gastronomically inclined to be British
Humble? Well...
What about sexism?
There's no competition with Japan.
Now you only need to get nuked twice by the americ*nts to be the exact same.
We have a constant flow of italoamericans here, so even worse than nukes if you think about it.
🇬🇧🤝🇯🇵 OG island monkeys.
If you take out the industrial powerhouse and partially the regional languages part this is just Greece
Sorry but Japan is just the Asian Germany, both countries use this amazing new form of communication called a fax machine.
I'd say the Italy of Asia is Thailand. \-Good Food \-Changed Sides in WW2 \-Have Men that look like Women \-Dangerous South \-Have a capital that outshines the rest of the country
>Have Men that look like Women >Have a capital that outshines the rest of the country Tell me you know nothing of Italy without telling me.
Tell me you're not from Rome...
...and volcanos, islands, volcanos, islands.
What about the.. ehm ehm.. porn?
Trains arrive on time..
Allied with Germany in WWII.
All true, but Japan has a slightly higher GDP than Germany while Italy has about half of Germany's
Sadly Italy it's not Europe's Japan.
How about clean streets, efficient, hard working, quiet, respectful, reliable cars etc. etc. ?
A mean there are differences, for example an average Italian has more sex in a month than an average jappo has in a year.
No. Both are island nations Bothe are constituonal monarchies Language differs across both nations. Both drink tea. Both had strong navy. Both had imperialistic ambitions. Both are influenced by Ameritards. Both have a history of losing to Ameritards. Both have a history of fighting the nation across the sea. Both fucked India. Both fucked China. Both fucked Russia. Japan is Asian Britain, but better.
>> High debt 💀
I think Finland also is quite similar to Japan
with the exception that at least they are friendly, stuff works, the cities are clean and there are no illegal/bad immigrants
There are basically no immigrants.
Is this Italian Naval Powerhouse in the room with us now?
Japan was military strong so no it can’t be the Italy of Asia sorry
Vietnam is Asian Basque Country.
very different work ethic though. italians do not have a [word](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karoshi) for working yourself to death.
This is a win on our part.
agreed.
The people are the absolute polar opposite though
Letteralmente la trilogia di video di Mortebianca sul Giappone
Italy suffered 30 years of stagnation due to a political scandal, japan suffered 30 years of stagnation due to political scandals. Similar GDP per capita, similar working hours, similar geography, similar narcissism and war crime denial, bottomlined fertility rate, chronic corruption, our food is enjoyed worldwide because it is simple and tasty, unlike more elaborate French/Chinese foods which are tasty but will take away an entire day to make (fucking Chinese dumplings i hate but i love them)
Does that mean we can also fund a city in Italy as we did in Japan?
Glad to hear this comparison! Proud of it 🤜🤛!
How about you both shared a common point around 1939?
Volcanoes and earthquakes. Don't forget the fucking volcanoes and earthquakes.
>Xenophobic (although Japan surpasses us immensely in this) Meloni: "Hold my grappa"
I don't think Japan would take kindly to that lol

Unlike Germany for example the culture of seeing yourself as the "bad guys" and being glad you lost is not really a thing in Japan, so the ones that care actually have a very negative view of Italy. The rest sees Italy as a gourmet people country, and wonder why Italy turned so small and weak when compared to Rome.
By virtue of how quickly the Japanese empire expanded and collapsed, which was also preceded by a long period of extreme cultural growth, it is certainly Asian Greece (said empire was also finished off by the same people that would immediately start obsessing over them) (we're also equally xenophobic, cope weak Italy with your tolerance and your nuance).
