German inventions

[Graham]

Using these standarts nobody but the first 20 cavemen ever invented anything.

It's ok then for Multiple countries to claim one invention then...

We'd have a big fucking fucking list, for a small nation.

We played a small tiny part in the Automobiles & Bikes..David Dunbar Buick & John Boyd Dunlop.

Germans make things good.

Nah, the inventions or discoveries in the list are usually considered as genuinely German, because Germans created the first, fully functioning versions.

First fully functioning telephone was from a Scot though?

You know a communication device for which people can speak into over a distance.

I told you that I checked it before.

1860, he constructed the first prototype of a telephone, which could cover a distance of 100 meters. In 1862, he again tried to interest Poggendorff with an account of his "telephon", as he called it.[

The first working telephone was constructed by a German, he just didn´t have commercial success.

Telephone – The Artificial Ear Alexander Graham Bell is generally credited as the inventor of the telephone. But it was Phillip Reis, a young science teacher from Germany, who developed the first functioning device in 1860 which he named “Das Phone”. Unfortunately, the Reis telephone was not practical enough to be a commercial success. It could transmit sound, but it was difficult to understand the spoken word.

In 1860 Johann Philipp Reis was the first who produced a functioning electromagnetic device that could transmit musical notes, indistinct speech, and occasionally distinct speech by means of electric signals.

You see: Even the word is a German idea.
The sound was just not yet fully clear all the time.

I'd say as single nations France & Germany have actually invented more than England or Scotland. England & Scotland only have the upper hand when they cheat, and join forces as "British"

Also you forgot the modern Flamethrower! I thought of it because i just heard about it in Far Cry 3. The jokes were funny, if not dark "Yeah i tell ya, the Germans know how to set things on fire".

I didn´t forget the modern flamethrower, but I tried to focus on inventions and discoveries that are relevant or even crucial for modern life.
I don´t think it is exaggerated to say that approx. 50% or more of modern life are German based.

Personally I think that the Brits and Scots invented more than the French. They are the only ones who could maybe (but probably not really) compete with Germans in the area of the most important modern inventions.

David Hasselhoff is German thus all your inventions have been negated.

The Reformation, has to be one of the biggest in that list. If not the biggest.
