Yep ice cream is just Eis in German, even if the default is Eiscreme meaning at least 10% milkfat content or even Cremeeis meaning 50% milk, no added water, as well as egg. Frozen custard. It's just that noone cares what exactly you're going to order when asking "wanna go eat some ice"?
Fun fact: A felt 99% of ice cream parlours in Germany are called "Venezia" or "Dolomiti" or "Rialto", which is a quarter of Venice. Because that's where the founders were from. It's a fascinating natural phenomenon, flocks of ice cream makers migrating north in early spring and back home late autumn.
I imagine the same reason so many Americans think of the UK as just London, or France as just Paris. I don't know what that reason is, but I imagine it's probably the same reason.
That's not true America is Texas, Florida (if it involves alligators or trans-hatred), California, Las Vegas and New York. Everything else is irrelevant.
To contain, include, incorporate. To abstain really doesn't make sense in this context. That abstain meaning I think uses the "return to natural state" meaning of ent- (number 1). Think "unhold" in the sense of "cease to hold a position", that's "to abstain", the contain one... I'm not 100% but I think it's number 6: A thing is furnished such that the adjective becomes true. The cookie is enholden with chocolate chips.
karamellsirus is a misspelling, Karamellsirup should be obvious. crunshies, too, is a misspelt crunchies. Only one that shouldn't be recognisable is Regenbogenstreusel, rainbow sprinkles. Like on doughnuts.

They'd cry even harder if it contained a metric anything.

I think in this context "the ice" means the ice cream

Why do so many Europeans seem to think the whole country is Texas?

Massachusetts is literally the most significant state. It's a forest with health care. We're basically elves.
Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Hmmm idk about that Vermont is much closer to being elves than any part of Mass I've ever seen

The reflexive form "sich enthalten" means to abstain, without the reflexive pronoun it always means "to contain"

On retrospective that's pretty damn obvious.
