What was invented in your country?

[GeorgW]

Internet.

Also everything in this song.

I know the video is ironic, but I can't tell if you are, so just to be on the safe side, America didn't invent the internet...

Sweden invented everybody's favourite thing, the bomb!! Also, cheap furniture and battlefield.

 

[axelunatic]

The number zero.

 

[Private Custard]

America-Cars. Without them i'd... probably enjoy my life more most likely. Wouldn't have to deal with those douchebags who drive around with their windows down and rap music at full volume for one thing.

Actually, they're a German invention. Karl Benz, 1886

Canada- Basketball, the snowmobile, and contrary to what the OP seems to think, the telephone.

-telephone

Wrong. Alexander Graham Bell, Scotland.

Internet. That was cool.

Tim Berners Lee, England

Also, more notably, the jet engine by Henri Coand

Romania. Jet Propulsions for Planes

Frank Whittle, England

Oh and the Steam Engine

Thomas Savery, England.



Just to clear a few things up!

Since quiet a few people claimed freedom, I'm getting into that one as well.
Again from the Netherlands: !!!!!FREEDOM!!!!! We had freedom of religion, opinion and sexuality centuries before other countries. Of course you did not have total freedom, but you could get away with a lot of stuff compared to anywhere else.
But all bullshitting beside, Greece really invented freedom. None of us can really claim it, but democracy was invented (and in my opinion best applied) in Greece, homosexuality was 100% completely allowed and you could worship pretty much anything you liked. And that was like what a milenia before christ?

 

[Trildor]

And that was like what a milenia before christ?

4 centuries.

Wrong. Alexander Graham Bell, Scotland.

Hate to burst your bubble, but while Alexander Graham Bell may have been born in Scotland, he actually invented the telephone in Canada, so we claim that one.

America is clearly the winner here:

Philly Cheesesteaks
New England Clam Chowder
Ceral
Soda
Southern BBQ
Chop Suey

.... ok, so I'm fat and watch a lot of "American Eats", so sue me

 

[Tortoiseloz]

Microphone
Railway locomotives
Welsh cakes (om nom nom)
and I cant think of anything else.

By the way, amercia is a continent not a country, you are probably thinking the USA, and the USA did not invent freedom, everyone knows that freedom originated from when dinosaurs ruled the earth

 

[MrJKapowey]

Hmm, football, cricket, the stiff upper lip...

 

[Lord Legion]

The Modern age through now.
Thank you Tesla!

 

[Ordo Rolanberry]

3 more for scotland : Jaffa Cakes & Hob Nobs Oh and Irn Bru.

 

[vivalahelvig]

Poland...Poland...Poland....hmmm, thats a toughie...
...We invented....Polski...no, thats not good.

If anyone can help me on this, that be great.

 

[Zhalath]

America invented America. In turn, America has invented more America.

And lightbulbs.

 

[SpotHydra]

Pretty simple, what invention, world changing, trivial, what-have-you, was invented in the country you call home?

I'll go first.

America- Airplane, Machinegun, bifocals, tumbler lock (I believe), and the telephone.

EDIT: LISTS DON'T COUNT SLACKERS!!!

germany invented the machinegun during the first world war

Canada - Winter tires

 

[jrubal1462]

I guess I always assumed the lightbulb was American...hmmph, guess you can learn something new everyday, even on the internet.

For America, I'm going to go with jazz music

 

[SpotHydra]
