I am European.
Here’s an image I took on Friday:
As an American I have no idea what this bizarre contraption is
this a commie bus to the despair mines
That sign has a Z and letters with accent mark over it.
So I think this a picture of communism?
Come to California, we have a bunch of those. And they all suck.
They’re all delayed by some stupidly long freight train blocking all the tracks.
Self driving cars of the world.
I’m pretty sure we have those in usa. It has many names, like commuter train.
We can also post small cars (or of reasonable size). Ha!
Man, as an American I wish I had that kind of picture to take.
but…where are the gestapo and soldiers to harass the people?
In the museum :)
Nice. Wanna get railed?😏
I envy your snow!
It is nice, though it’s over now and raining.
Lovely shot.
Thanks!
I’d love to make fun of European politics, there’s no shortage of embarrassments.
not my fault my fellow Americans elected king dumbass.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Hang on a second. We didn’t elect a king. You don’t elect a king. We elected a dictator.
There’s a difference.
Kings are born royalty. This jackass got elected. We CHOOSE him. This is OUR fault. Whereas with kings, nobody chooses them. They’re just born into that role.
I don’t think we did though. Before even one vote was counted he was bragging that the results don’t matter because he has all the votes he needs. He literally announced that he’d rigged an election and nobody did anything about it.
He literally announced that he’d rigged an election and nobody did anything about it.
That’s not true, tons of voters heard that and stayed home to make sure he’d win and be the first republican in decades to win the popular vote.
Of course you can elect kings. It’s called elective monarchy, there have been a few of those throughout history.
I’d welcome the Euro memes
Global south content pls
Hahaha yerba. Priceless.
It’s impossible because Trump keeps doing things it can still be 3:00 in the morning over there and he’ll do something. All Europe seems to have is the Germans, and they keep posting in their weird secret language.
As someone that can read German, das ist keine Problem. Es war sehr gut für Deutsch zu lernen. (My German is shit tho)
It is. Aber das macht nichts, man kann dich trotzdem verstehen.
Why does the world end partway through Greenland?
Future proofing the meme for the invasion of the US
Lolol
Surely you mean Blueredwhiteland?
Because you touch yourself at night.
The US is like turning on a morning soap opera. What absurd and dramatic contrivances have they come up with this time that could never happen in real life?
I mean, America is threatening war with Europe so…
Hey don’t blame all of us. It’s just that one guy with dementia who paints his skin orange.
Unfortunately, thats a moot point to people who are staring down the barrel of our obscenely large military budget. I dont blame people for not liking us. I didn’t vote for agent orange, but he is still representing our country 🤢
I assume it’s because the life in Europe is better so people don’t need to escape their reality as much. You can go out and see a cool castle or ride a train or go check out a new country. And then you can get really, really, really good food that won’t give you diarrhea like the food here in the US.
Well yeah, if you only go to McDonald’s or Taco Bell then you’ll get diarrhea, but there’s plenty of food and restaurants around the entirety of the us that has phenomenal food. However looking at your post history proves to me you don’t care about facts and only about insulting people and their ideals, and seemingly everyone on the internet enjoys nothing but shitting on Americans no matter the circumstance, so I know this will fall on deaf ears.
Ouch!? You have very curious reading comprehension skills, it appears. I’m not shitting on Americans, i’m shitting on the relatively weak and ineffective governments at the local state of federal level, which tend to only serve the interests of folks with large amounts of money. I have a relatively sensitive stomach and I have been sick from all kinds of restaurants across the US.
You see, when you pay people minimum wage or less so in the case of tipped workers, their motivation to clean up and provide a great sanitary environment for everything is arguably lessened, don’t you think? Further, our education system, being largely designed by large corporate interests aims to produce ignorant workers, people addicted to fast food, sugar and its derivatives. People who think food should be as cheap and fast as possible, as convenient as possible, and not worthy of sitting down and spending time, contemplating cooking it, growing it, eating with family, et cetera.
I remember walking around in Zwolle, Netherlands. I remember being embarrassed because I was the only one walking around while eating something. Everyone else sits down to eat. I never saw anyone eating in their car. Or eating while driving. I’m just saying this is illustrative of the difference between the US’s fucked up food culture and the rest of the world’s more mature and established food culture.
Have you ever been to Japan? Have you ever been to Europe? Have you ever been to South America? I have and I can tell you, on average, they truly respect food. Just walk through the center aisles of any American supermarket and tell me if those products suggest a culture which honors and values food? It’s my humble opinion that no, not really.
If I’m full of shit and I’m doing something wrong, I am all ears and willing to do better, I promise you. You’re gonna have to be real and not just throw daggers like that.
taco bell doesn’t give me diarrhea. it’s not the firmest bowel movement, but it’s certainly not diarrhea.
We just lurking, not allowed to let the government know we are here!
huh, the US government doesn’t know lemmy exists
…and being boring is only one of Europe’s strong points.
Start posting. Please. I am begging you.
- An American tired of wallowing.
Jokes on you, I’m from europe and still hasn’t gone to sleep
He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a lager drink. He drinks a drink to the good times. He drinks to remember the better times!
Well it could be worse. You could wake up and actually be in the US.
Eh, I give it a 4/10 right now. There’s still some cool stuff to do and plenty of great people around, but generally, can’t recommend it if you don’t have to.
Just block the rest. I blocked most of the USA stuff, because it’s too much. Trump said this, Trump did that, and some of the news are clickbait.
Here I am from the Balkans.
But I feel like posting about USA, until it’s never relevant again.
Well then post some articles about whats been going on in tge Balkins, I’ve got a buddy in Belegrade
Alright then. I have not been following much, ironically. I think America is of course, trying to meddle in our oil refinery deal, after putting sanctions on our refinery (which was partially owned by Russia).
I am secretly very happy about the refinery problems…anyway, it starts work again 23th January.
There were warnings that we would not be able to recieve pay on our credit cards (no transfers) or something like that as well.
Caused me to withdraw all my cash.
Estonia?
You have the same name as a Dragon RP guy
Lithuania?
Those are Baltics, they’re in the Balkins.
Dang, I was wrong.
Don’t worry, you’ll learn more about those places during the war.
Dude, I try. I like to embarrass myself a bit to help with memorization. This conversation will help.
Dog, I don’t want to know.
Serbia
How’s Serbia this time of year?
Didn’t think we would actually have snow. They don’t clear roads proper. So it’s all ice, and white snow everywhere. I felt a weird joy!
Do ya’ll salt the roads like they do on the East Coast? Also, I just found Xanathar lmao.
Dammit
Cuz My country is fucking the world over right now
Our country. We’re fucking people unwillingly together!
