People in the UK drink so much tea (or coffee these days), that breaks in soap operas (such as Eastenders) cause the national grid to be on high alert, due to the incredulous surge of power from so many kettles being turned on at once.
That’s incredible actually
- Not being able to afford healthcare and insurance.
- Half of the population worshipping a felonious, racist, homophobic sexist as if he’s a deity.
- K.C. Barbecue.
None of these are unique by any means (i wish the second was but fascism is rising globally).
The styles of it tho, I’ll give you that.
There are two types of BBQ: KC and wrong.
- using Imperial over metric system
Unless you meant Trump… in which case you’re absolutely right lol. If I was a US citizen I’d vote for Harris probably.
Sexist? When Jesus resurrected, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene. Eyewitness testimony from women was not even seen as reliable at the time. Jesus didn’t care, badass feminist. Homophobic? Jesus never condemned the gays, not even once. Or the four Gospels he was never recorded as saying anything remotely homophobic. Racist? Jesus is not even a white European lmao. Plus, people of all nations worship Him.
White American fundamentalists, they offer you religion. If you wanna find Jesus, he’s in the Bible. If you seek Him, you will find Him. God bless 🙏🏻
school shootings (being common)
Losing a war with flightless birds.
Have you tried diplomacy?
We try to get the fallen back but none yet.
Churches the size of castles full of people preaching humility.
US or is there another?
Christ I hope there isn’t
Well there’s this place…
I mean I guess you can have ONE but we’re lousy with ‘em over here.
Yeah it feels like they’re about as common as Costcos these days
I assume some place in Europe because they quite literally have cathedrals and such that are like castles.
Though, I’ve never actually seen a megachurch from the US to be able to compare sizes. They’re definitely unique to the US.
The American mega churches usually don’t really look too much like churches and more like gigantic stadiums or even tents because they’re meant to accommodate thousands of people. But we do have “proper” churches which look like castles. Mostly on the east coast, from what I’ve seen. (I’m sorry, but I can never view those massive, super evangelical megachurches as anything more than a cult.)
Not just humility but literally poverty as a virtue too
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven but there’s such a thing as the Space Needle, and camels are like tiny compared to that thing…
Good thing the Space Needle has no eye.
Leave me alone! I’m rationalizing!
Being atheistic as the norm. Sky daddies don’t hold much power here.
Found a Czech. That makes about 7 of us. We should start a community!
Yaaay! I think there’s already !czech@lemmy.world, though it’s not very active.
There used to be czech-lemmy.eu and kyberpunk.social instances, actually. Both ended less than a year ago.
Well, if you want a Czech-ran instance, you can join mine instance, lemmings.world, though it doesn’t really focus on Czechs. Didn’t know about any of those, sadly.
That’s just…not unique tho
There are like 4 countries in the world where less than half people is religious. Of those I live in the one where huge majority is not religious. We’re the most atheistic country in the world. Because “only” quarter of our population is lunatic enough to believe in such bullshit.
So yes, very much unique.
I mean, that’s just not true, at all, just like religion
Going to the forest to pick mushrooms, nuts and berries. Going to the beach to pick up washed out amber. Having a lot of people grow their own food, even the city folk.
Oh that sounds like a dream!
If you like the former Soviet romantic a bit and can live with the fact that you are on Russia’s doorstep it’s indeed a very nice country. I had friends there,it’s really nice.
I was 99% sure Finland for the first one though, but somewhat makes sense
Czechia… except we are landlocked. Poland, then?
Look at my flag, lol. :D
Does not show up in my client, and the desc does not either when opening your profile.
Well, it’s Lithuania:)
Our “solution” to gun deaths is to add more guns.
Make armor out of guns.
Okay not my country of residence, but you can choose to burn at the 4th hottest global temp of 54C (129F) or you can also freeze at -65C (-85F).
Optionally, you can also enjoy staring directly at the sun as it rises or sets due to the air pollution.
Oh and you can also find this funni river dolphin:
I didn’t know this would be a guessing game. What is Pakistan?
Hehe yes.
What a guy
Sir, this is a duck
Almost as many saunas as cars. One sauna for every ~1.7 people.
You have the best hard seltzer full stop. Also how’s USA cosplay day lately?
Constant mass shootings.
We start our spicy food tolerance early, our candy is spicy.
Mexico?
Yep.
Yeah, a lot of cultures love spice, but Mexico is the only one I’m aware of that loves spicy candy specifically.
You are save to eat raw meat. I Love Mettbröttchen with Zwiebel.
German sushi
Isn’t that like whole Europe? I eat tartar steak from time to time and I don’t go above medium-rare with normal steaks.
Living below sea level for generations, and only remembering when you see other countries flood.
if NL gets annihilated by some climate related disaster, can the rest of the world claim hubris
Absolutely. You get first dibs on “I told you so”. But until then, I get the right to go “neener neener neeeeeener”" at the sea.
Luckily, you are already trained to used these bad boys:
Proper Poutine
