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.

Idk about where you are, but in my state, you can lose your driver's license if you are under 21 and in possession of alcohol. Granted, I've never known of that punishment ever being enforced, but it is a possibility. That's why young cashiers have to call over someone else to scan my beer.
