        You do realise ours tilt and open? Speaking of failed analogies.

          You tilt 90 degrees in this analogy, you just aren’t getting it. And yes, that sounds dumb because that’s the point.

            Indeed. I wasn’t getting it because our windows actually have a tilt function, where you open it from the top, rotating on the bottom axis instead. I’m not familar with people calling the usual opening “titling” as well.

            Anyway, our superiour German engineers did also figure out sliding windows especially for cars. But our houses usually don’t travel at high speeds, so the “tilting” of the winows isn’t a huge issue. I can understand this is different in the US where houses in states like Kansas often soar through the air at high speed. Different use cases I think.

              It moves horizonal instead of tilting because it just makes more sense, speed has nothing to do with it… It’s a house bro, that makes no sense.

              Also nice casual xenophobia, you say over your US invented internet.

                Why? Name an actual advantage for a change.

                Here is one disadvantage: You need to go outside to clean the outside. Why not just swing it in. You can put a bucket right underneat, do it along with the inside.

                Also nice casual xenophobia, you say over your US invented internet.

                Really, you don’t detect the streak of sarcasm (I called US windows inferior in the very first comment) here? Please do realise we are talking about window design here. Let’s say I’m not taking this 100% seriously.

                But while we’re at it, sure the US did a lot of gruntwork for the Internet, but really what we know as the internet, was invented at CERN. So Europe score again! I can go back like this till Euler. US didn’t even exist back then.
