What are some of the weird/hilarious/stupid things that are legal in Germany but illegal in other countries (and vice versa)? (lemmy.world)

My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.

In Germany, it’s completely normal to be able to roam anywhere in nature, which in some other countries just isn’t possible at all.

Yep. With the Nazis on the rise I've been looking into the general possibility of emigrating somewhere else and I've found that in otherwise quite lovely countries like Ireland people are apparently not able to hike wherever with their dog. Never even thought about that, but yeah, I'd probably feel a bit claustrophobic with being limited to official roads, my appartment and... not much else?
