@oliveegger Mfw I get to America after falling overboard and finally meeting back up with my family…

There are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese

@reddit_lies What’s extremely funny to me is that this bell curve demonstrates they either believe they are high IQ and not above the 50% threshold, so choosing blue will certainly only kill them OR they are on the left side of the curve and don’t understand the question

Redditors think "It's logical to pick blue"

Gun to your head, name a rock.

@ai6823768 @glacilan Agree to disagree I guess. Probably a cultural difference because in both instances I would say either would be acceptable. The reverse would not be true, I would not sell bread and label it as toast. All toast is bread but not all bread is toast if you understand.

This European vs. American bread thing is getting dumb as hell cause why did I just see a European unironically say that toast is not bread

@ResidentOfSound @potatoslav Literally no American has made the claim that American bread is superior. Europeans made the claim that we did not have bread at all and we are fascinated by your complete acceptance of anti American propaganda that you would believe it.

And it's crap, bakeries are to be found every 100 meters (hyperbole). But that is besides the point. The funny part about the whole thing is that a lot of people descend into stage 5 meltdowns for the simple statement of fact that other countries could do things better. Yes e.g. German bread is superior. By a lot. But as a German I have NO issue whatsoever to recognise that random train station sushi in Japan shits over 99.99% of all sushi here, some random shitty taqueria in Mexico utterly destroys every single Mexican restaurant in this country, most random French patisseries in bum fucked Ruritania wreck pretty much every bakery in Germany when it comes to sweet stuff, pasta in Italy is a whole different ballgame than it is here. What cracks me up is that it seems to be perceived as an outright attack on the country to simply state that yes, not everything is the best in the US either lol.

this discourse is so stupid, Americans have bakery bread and Europeans have processed prepackaged loaves of bread with added sugar. these were the shelves in my local grocery store in Germany today.

@VolvicCh @notasnervous This is why I say I’m disappointed Europeans are not as smart as I thought. Europeans once did amazing things. We learned of all the great conquistadors in school. We have cities and parks named after them. They were great men. Where did all the great Europeans go?

@wsj0004 @notasnervous My point is that there is a multitude of Spanish speakers on the American continent because of the Treaty of Tordesillas and this guy, whose expedition was funded by Spanish Royalty and who maintained almost sole control for 3 centuries:

Every day I open this app and see a European speaking so frankly about something they're entirely wrong about that you'd think it was a mandatory punishment.

@VolvicCh @notasnervous I guess because the plurality of immigrants worldwide have decided the bread is good enough to live here and they brought their language with them. What’s your point?

@wsj0004 @notasnervous "There’s more Spanish speakers in the US than all of Spain." What an astute observation. And why, pray tell, is that?

@q_slavic Are you using a different executioner for each execution? Seems wildly inefficient. Just use the same one every time.

If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world remains the same.

@VolvicCh @notasnervous lol I speak Spanish just fine, amigo. There’s more Spanish speakers in the US than all of Spain. It appears your programming needs an update.

@wsj0004 @notasnervous You speak English because it's the only language you know. Europeans speak English because it's the only language you know. We are not the same.

@VolvicCh @notasnervous You may be literate, but your reading comprehension is lacking. I didn’t say anything about the US. Yes, we have a lot of idiots that can’t read. My assertion was that Europeans are not as smart as I thought they were. I’m not happy about that. It’s very disappointing

@wsj0004 @notasnervous Indeed.....

@politicalmath “Don’t look up” the headlines from 5 years ago

It's extremely funny that the movie "Don't Look Up" came out during the Covid pandemic. A movie about how a cynical political class will deny a deadly reality that is staring them in the face. It naturally implies that this political class would be Republican because obviously liberals are enlightened science lovers. Here we are, 6 years later, and the vast majority of our liberal intellectual class is telling you that the plain truth of what happened simply didn't happen.

@RichardSouthco2 @facetedcarapace You just did it too!

@facetedcarapace That's a theatre kid. They got beat up alot. I'm Gen X and don't talk like a thespian unless I'm insulting you in my Shakespeare costume on Halloween.

Is there a definitive sociological answer for why they talk like this
