@Soubifloof @HalfTangible @planefag Yeah, if you extend that trend out for the entire year you'd have to up it by 7-8x the current value. Per capita that'd be a rate 7 times the relative rate of US gun deaths. Absolute numbers it'd be 14-16 times higher if they had people dying at that rate year round.

"0 degrees" It hit below zero - below zero *Fahrenheit* - for a week straight last winter where I live in Michigan, which is about the same latitude as England. Deeply unserious clowns. These are the people who sneer about Americans not being able to find countries on maps

"Well its 40+ degrees over here so you brits are just weak" okay but try turning that 40+ degree heat into 0 degrees and see how your cardboard houses and AC helps you there mate

@JoeLongBalls Reminder that in Star Trek's Mirror Universe, the Terran Empire flag is just a globe with a sword through the pole. If you want a "we are a warrior people" vibe don't even need the skull.

@MLPSandy I'm fully convinced they can't/wouldn't because doing so would require them to actually think over what they see/hear and admit that the US can actually do things better than them sometimes. They'd have to acknowledge a lot (almost all) of their current issues are self-inflicted.

@some871 @danramblesand @ReviewsPossum If you look at how Japanese and American twitter interact, they're FAR closer than the US and basically every Anglosphere nation, let alone the US and Europe.

@ReviewsPossum Fun fact: France, Spain, and Italy pulled the "you can't fly over us" thing back during Regan's presidency. A bombing in Berlin got traced back to Libya and the US did some retaliatory strikes. All three countries blocked their airspace back then.

@spencergiblin @THFC_Eskay @JahidStayHumble @OrionRadiofox @BowieKnife99 My understanding is it's an AI built off the play data of the actual Bowie Knife99. Man drives like a lunatic, the metadata from him makes an AI that immediately decided it's ungovernable and tries to pit maneuver and ram as many people off the road as it possibly can.

@Austen I don't even need to live in Louisiana to go "no shit" to that. Maine gets heat waves on occasion with high humidity and then you turn on the heat in the winter. I live with someone who wants it 80 in the winter and it feels so much better when it's that dry heat.

It’s my favorite time of year: when Europeans explain to people in Louisiana that it feels hotter when there’s humidity

@chiefschicktx @KMAG_YOLO It shifts from "things are hotter and more humid here" to "we can't/won't make our lives easier and prefer to complain about our controlled helplessness than fix it"

@chiefschicktx @KMAG_YOLO That's not an aspect of the environment though, that's an aspect of how people adapted to it. You can't refuse modern technology to make it bearable, then complain that living there is worse than a place that has equal or worse conditions that did use it.

@planefag A reminder that The US has regions that closely match the climate and geography of almost every other place on Earth if you know where to look. If there's a natural problem with the environment people elsewhere have to deal with, we've probably been working on it or solved it.

@HalfTangible @planefag I saw someone point this out and every European got angry demanding they show it as per capita because Europe's population is about twice the population of the US. It was within, like... 2-3 points of our gun deaths when converted to per capita, which felt absolutely wild.

@planefag More people die from heat stroke in Europe than die from gun crime in the USA. That thing they constantly mock and attack us for.

@MrG1915 @Enswortmann @bilbusthegreat @HMBohemond EF-4s are uncommon outside the US. EF-5s (200+ MPH winds) are basically only ever seen in the US. Europe doesn't understand what an EF-5 can do because they've probably never seen an EF-3.

@MrG1915 @Enswortmann @bilbusthegreat @HMBohemond That's because they don't see them. Germany saw as many tornadoes in a 60-70 year period as the US sees annually and Europe rarely sees EF-2 or higher tornadoes. The highest they see is usually EF-1s that have windspeeds topping out at 110mph...

@henskelion @BiggieAtx So not only does Europe see fewer tornadoes, the ones they do see are almost exclusively EF0s and EF1s. If they do have personal experience, it's the equivalent of a whirlwind carrying dust and light debris in comparison to the town-destroying monsters of the midwest.

@henskelion @BiggieAtx I actually googled it: Germany saw 1000 tornadoes in a 60-70 year period. The UK saw ~400 in that same period. The US sees 1000+ tornadoes a year. EF2 and above are rare in Europe, EF4s rarely seen outside the US, and EF5s are almost exclusively seen in the US.

People throw around the phrase “the European mind cannot comprehend ____” too much, except here it actually totally applies. The European mind cannot, in fact, comprehend tornados.

@222rainclouds Americans complain about tornados every year but they refuse to spend money on a proper house that doesn’t fly away with some wind

@vivovinco @Johnny_Rebb2 They do, comparably rarely compared to the US (Germany saw as many tornadoes in 60-70 years as the US sees annually) and rarely over EF2-EF3. They don't have the town destroying monsters the US sees, so they either don't understand or vastly underestimate.

@Enswortmann @bilbusthegreat @HMBohemond The majority of tornado damage is actually the debris. A tornado will basically just rip trees out of the ground, pick up cars, fling them at houses, and then turn the destroyed house and anything in it into more ammo. If it rips a house apart by wind alone, same thing.

@bilbusthegreat @HMBohemond The wind will strip the roof and ruin the top floor. But the wind itself, even at 800km/h would do nothing to the outer wall. The debris hurled into the wall is the real threat. You have no concept of mass and inertia

@Velothi777 @HMBohemond We should care. These people are supposed to be our friends and allies, but they only seem to tolerate having us around when they gain something from us or get to mock us without retaliation. Soon as something's asked in return or we give the same joking energy back, they go nuts

@HMBohemond Most Europeans don't have a personal experience with tornadoes. Those that do have likely never seen one stronger than an EF2, if that. The idea that something strong enough to rip a train off the tracks and carry it 200+ feet or crush a car into a ball is unheard of for them.

@HMBohemond It's because they almost never see the bad ones. Germany's seen about as many tornadoes between 1950 and 2015 as the US sees in a single year. The UK sees ~30 a year. Outside the US, EF4s are rare. EF5s have only ever been seen in a small handful of countries other than the US
