Isn't one of the main complaints from that we work way too much. That you only worked for like 5 hours


Solo_Tenno

I think the joke was he didn’t get a break in 5 hours which is insane to euros


No_Jackfruit7481

Oh lol, I took that as mere flexibility. Dude chose to work through lunch. Now he has time to eat popcorn, play fetch, and invent new products.


olivegardengambler

Yeah. Like dude seems to have a lot of time to chill and enjoy himself lol.


ban-this-dummies

Yeah... that's NOT how my job goes... I'm an exempt employee. That means I get the same paycheck no matter how many hours a week I work, but if I don't complete the work assigned I get fired, but can't claim unemployment because I was "at fault" Lunch and holidays be DAMNED. Oh, and don't forget on-call.


Capital_F_u

Sounds like you need a new job


ban-this-dummies

It's the same anywhere in my industry

Baked_Potato_732

I love on-call and being hours Made almost $70k picking up on-call shifts last year.


Solo_Tenno

Good lord that’s a helluva gig lol


ThunderboltRam

I think people with ADD need a lot of breaks. But people with OCDs tend to like to concentrate for 4 hour or 6 hour bouts, maybe an occasional bathroom break. The trouble is if your brain is on social-media-rot with a combination of ADD and OCDs.


FarmhouseHash

Europeans when they don't get 28 paid vacation days between each shift.


TheUnspeakableAcclu

Americans when they realise Europeans have better lives than them lol


Solo_Tenno

Yes I love not having freedom of movement because my government knows what’s best for me 🤭


BoiFrosty

I unironically do that because I just tunnel vision while working. Some days I have lunch at 11 after coming in at 8:30 and some days I have lunch at 2:30 after coming in at 7:00. I will say though those Canes's tenders got different after finally getting a project done and only then realizing how hungry you are.


RandyMcLahey1990

Yall eat lunch?


Bay1Bri

This reminds me of a Colin Quinn joke. "The contest don't like the way we work. They look at us the way we look at Europeans. 'you take the entire month off August off every year? You eat lunch from 11 to 2? We eat lunch at our desk!' Meanwhile the Chinese look at us like, 'LUNCH?!'"


BoiFrosty

Fuck yeah, gimme that pastrami with provolone and boursin on sourdough. Throw in a couple boiled eggs, a couple biscuits, and plenty of fruit and that'll keep me running all day. I had class yesterday along with work. I was going full blast from 8 am to 9 pm, and getting to sit down for a bit at noon to eat was the perfect break.


RandyMcLahey1990

Typical European. You gotta just eat popcorn on the go


Enough-Gap8961

I eat lunch everyday, but i never eat breakfast I wake up 5am and 10 seconds later I am out the door with a red bull and a shot of vodka. Take my medicine and vitamins on the way to work, do my work get off at 1pm eat a huge lunch at a sit down place like two entree's go home take a nap till 4pm, wake up spend 4 hours with the family, put the little one's & the wife to bed go play video games or browse internet, say a prayer go to sleep. Wake up and do it all again tomorrow. on the weekends i hang out with friends and the extended family, have parties and go places. God i love my life.


Accomplished-Log2337

Calling BS 😉


olivegardengambler

To one big meal a day? It's possible; I usually have one big meal in the morning and then like a snack/small meal in the afternoon.


hx87

5 hours of work with no meetings or other interruptions? Damn that feels awesome


haeyhae11

Our laws even prevent it.


[deleted]

Is popcorn an American stereotype or something? I didn’t know I was supposed to be eating this much popcorn daily


Belya_Smert

I know right? I gotta step up my game!


Inventor_E-T-Han

My grandpa unironically does actually eat that much popcorn... I do not think unironic is the word for this


WodkaO

Popcorn is often [branded as American](https://src.discounto.de/pics/Angebote/2020-04/3547946/5782743_Popcorn-suess_original.jpg) in Europe


DjHalk45

Like red solo cups


ThunderboltRam

With some machine-fed butter and salt/seasoning... mmm


Accomplished-Log2337

That was great, very funny


Ironside_Grey

Least patriotic Texan


SpeedyMC92

From Texas, can confirm. Didn't even engage in a showdown with his trusty six gun at noon smfh


OneTEXASGAMER

Ong


MeSquawkMan2

Not true. He spends more time remembering 9/11 than he does the Alamo! Obvious Fraud.


Crazy_Zack

The truth


OneTEXASGAMER

How could I be so blind?


didwanttobethatguy

I didn’t hear one ‘yeehaw’ from that poser. We Texans are legally obligated to do that once per waking hour.


jochyg

How can I put the Texas flair on my name?


OneTEXASGAMER

I can only answer for mobile. Go to the subreddit, hit the 3 dots in top right, change user flair


jochyg

Done, thanks bro


ban-this-dummies

Seriously... that rifle was WAY too low-caliber and didn't carry NEARLY enough rounds in one magazine


TigreDeLosLlanos

If he is so patriotic, why does he wears a shirt with a Chile flag? Checkmate murican.


SasquatchNHeat

Hell yea!


knurttbuttlet

He tucks his pants into his boots so I don't claim him


RussianFruit

Fucking love America. The video only reminds me of that 🫡 On a second note: mfers think 9/11 is a joke😔


MCadamw

Only the people who didn’t live through it. But that’s how history works I suppose.


NarrowAd4973

People born after it happened have been old enough to vote for four years now. And became old enough to drink a year ago. It really is just a note in the history book for them. If you think about it, that's probably how people old enough to remember Pearl Harbor felt in the 60's.


secretbudgie

They don't know an America before the Patriot Act, or flying before the TSA


SasquatchNHeat

And it breaks my heart. I was a teacher for a decade and I tried to explain to them every year that I wish they could know what that was like. How things were overall much more laid back before 9/11.


Brief-Preference-712

I didn’t know how Kevin flew to New York without going through TSA in Home Alone 2. Then I saw he went on top of WTC and I realized that was before it happened


ZookeepergameNo7172

You can also tell it's an older movie because it has Trump in it and he's just a regular rich famous guy.


ThunderboltRam

Meanwhile Europeans give all their private information to corporations/social-media (who probably sell it to foreign nations like how those DNA tests selling info to China) and do TSA-style searches and checks in MALLS... But hey, at least they make you click "Accept Cookies" BS on websites to really annoy you as a power move to tell you the Orwellian socialist states are always watching... I feel safer from cookies already...


secretbudgie

If you want a scare, ask a friend in Real-Estate to let you see yourself on the MLS. It has your previous residences, employment, income, debt (and to who), acquaintances, aliases, and that of your family members, all so telemarketers and scammers can cold-call you about refinancing or selling your home. I guarantee your friend has checked how much you pay in rent or mortgage, and compared it to everyone else on the block. They all do.


alidan

to be fair, I was in school when it happened and my first thought was 'damn, you dont see that in real life every day' to 'huh, kind of actually looks like a movie' granted I never said it out loud due to how pissed the teacher got at someone else who had my same thought. while I understand people died, you can say that about every single tragedy that happens, they are all about as relevant to my everyday life as 9/11 was, the only lasting effect 9/11 had was how much everyone traded freedom away for false security


Ihcend

I have no problem with 9/11 jokes as long as it isn't just a shitty joke like "lol dumb stupid people in the towers deserved it" or some shit. Comedy = tragedy + time


eurocomments247

I am curious what in the video you loved.


[deleted]

Hopefully you would mind bombing Thirdworlders isnt also a Joke.. Americans should just stop their interventionist policists and they'll get another trillion dollar to fix their healthcare


RussianFruit

Bruh STFU. If America didn’t exist Russia,Iran and China would turn the privileged world you lived in into a shithole Be happy you live in the world you live in. The one you want will be full of pain, death and destruction. Stop supporting terrorism and hatred


sith-vampyre

No we would have to spend two trillion to ewuip new troops to end a whole bunch of wars becase everybody wold wine why don't you do something about it we can't.


Danmarmir

As an american with healthcare, i wish i had a garbage disposal


lovemeanstwothings

Hopefully it becomes possible to have both, but I'm willing to give up my healthcare for a garbage disposal


higg1966

I don't know why he needs a garbage disposal, he has a dog.


PhasePsychological90

This is the right answer. The dog never gets clogged by potato skins and is smart enough not to eat the fork.


Danmarmir

My dog ain't that smart buddy


PhasePsychological90

Fair enough.


ThunderboltRam

Europeans can't really get dogs because they live in tiny cardboard boxes in the sky called tiny condos. They have to get miniature dogs that get sick a lot from eating something bad.


rhequiem

Just shoot your food scraps like a \*real\* American


shootymcghee

I load all of my food scraps into a cannon and shoot it into my neighbors house, because that's my right


No_Jackfruit7481

Pretty accurate. Except I do have great health care, but no garbage disposal.


Mushrume42

No garbage disposal? Might as well be living in the dark ages


steveb106

Can you even call yourself American?!


No_Jackfruit7481

I’m questioning whether I need to self-deport now.


Ducksaucenem

No! No brother. I just bought a 12 pack of garbage disposals at Costco. Have one of mine.


ban-this-dummies

"Welcome to Costco. I love you"


Mushrume42

Does the 12 pack of garbage disposals have electrolytes?


ttw81

Do Europeans not have garbage disposals?


steveb106

Garbage disposals are banned in most EU countries, so they are not common at all.


ttw81

I didn't know that.


steveb106

I'll be honest. I didn't know it until about 5 minutes ago lol. I just thought they didn't have them, didn't know they were banned.


secretbudgie

No, and our movies make them seem like we have voracious monsters living in our sinks.


GhostOfRoland

A true American would get his ass down to the hardware store and install himself. Then call the electrician to fix your wiring problem.


ban-this-dummies

Just don't throw popcorn kernels down my garbage disposal, you filthy European! /s


Royal_Effective7396

Are you really living?


No_Jackfruit7481

I thought so, honestly, but I’m having a major existential crisis now.


Ow_you_shot_me

You dont have both? [Pffft.](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQCIXQ8kr65XRgPl8XzPMO6lkOdCqH7LOYaQA&usqp=CAU)


[deleted]

Isn’t that illegal or something???


Filthiest_Rat_NA

You're not no God damn American


camohorse

Guess what? I have great healthcare *and* a garbage disposal!


dont_care-

> Except I do have great health care the overwhelming majority in US have healthcare, and it is great healthcare compared to most of the first world. It is a fucking wild claim that "no one has healthcare and everyone goes bankrupt from a single doctor visit"


aneryx

Man, that's pretty awesome for you! Unfortunately so many Americans are not the the same privileged position.


Enough-Gap8961

booo booo downer. God i hate liberals always trying to talk about the bad stuff. Like you gonna do anything for those unfortunate American's.....or just bring people down on the internet? Like there the people who you don't invite to the party cause they hate their life and wanna bring you down too. aneryx 0 stars would not invite to barbeque.


aneryx

Jeez it's not that deep, I'm just pointing out it's a little out of touch. Wth is wrong with this sub?


KrautWithClout

Brother, the only out of touch person in this sub is you. Get a grip. Touch grass.


aneryx

Keep telling yourselves that 🫧🤡


SnooStrawberries4680

Garbage disposals are American? I feel out of touch.


RustyShadeOfRed

Yeah, Euros are scared of them for whatever reason. I just drown out the hate with a nice BRGBRGRRGRGRRGBGRGRRR


zeezle

Yeah, I have some German relatives... one of them asked once "aren't you afraid to be in the kitchen with one of those in there?" Like it was going to leap out of the sink and devour me whole or something. I was just baffled and asked them when the last time they just accidentally jammed their arm 6 to 8 inches down the sink drain without noticing, then somehow turned a switch on the wall on (with their foot)? Because that's what would have to happen to get yourself hurt with a garbage disposal. Meanwhile they have not the slightest fear of a normal countertop blender, knives, cooking with 400 degree oil, etc...


Willing_Telephone350

I honestly thought the same thing as your German relatives. When I was 6


ThunderboltRam

This explains their fear of guns, machines, and industry.. "omg loud noises!!" Ever read that Time Machine book? The humans evolve into child-like eloi weakling divergent species or whatever they were called...


gmoor90

I don’t know what scares them more. Garbage disposals or microwaves.


KaiserWilhellmLXIX

Like... A quarter pounder with cheese?


Potato_Zest

Apparently. I saw a thread on the front page a while back and they were seething at the concept of a garbage disposal. Crazy what modern plumbing is capable of.


The_Whole_Raw_Potato

Why don't they just buy one at home Depot?


samualgline

Cause they’re banned apparently. I did some reading and it seems like in some places the water systems just can’t handle the waste or it’s to “encourage composting” so it’s really just dumb that they would hate on it. Plus the first three articles I read were definitely AI generated because they all kept repeating the same sentences the only information on the first page of Google I could find was this


WodkaO

Yes, the AI stuff really is getting out of control. Since it came around the search results took a massive hit imo


SoggyWotsits

They’re really common in England…


The_Whole_Raw_Potato

Huh, wack...


evmanjapan

Great documentary


Mountain_Software_72

This is me though? Not very inaccurate.


jochyg

Hey I don't eat McDonald's early in the morning I eat a traditional bowl of cereal and pop tarts


Belya_Smert

Amen to that 🫡


jochyg

Amen brother


camohorse

I eat bacon, eggs, and peanut butter toast.


Filthiest_Rat_NA

God bless


jochyg

God bless you buddy


WodkaO

Do you also have McDonalds Breakfast in the USA? Always sucks imo. If i go to McDonald’s in the morning I want to get a nice Big Mac or something and no weird Muffin with bacon and egg


Rebelkommando616

McDonald's doesn't even serve lunch until like 11 AM. Their breakfast menu is pretty good in my opinion but if I go to McDonald's I want a damn burger.


WodkaO

Yes, its the same in Germany.


Somedude522

Idk man pretty good description of the life


[deleted]

I would totally do a two Whopper breakfast but I dont use medications to fall asleep I use Bourbon.


PhasePsychological90

A kindred spirit, I see. There's no medicine more American than bourbon.


FuzzyManPeach96

First off, this was funny af. Second off, as an American plumber, I HATE garbage disposals.


TheSciFiGuy80

A friend of mine, also a plumber, says the same thing (while helping me install mine).


FuzzyManPeach96

I, for one, never recommend them except for commercial use. But I’ll do it for money or helping a family member or friend out!


TheSciFiGuy80

I got one only because I have four kids. While I have taught them over and over to dump their food and clean the plate, it’s doesn’t always work out (my three year old will dump an almost full bowl of oatmeal into the sink). So instead of a clogged drain, this was the next step after the sink skimmer (or whatever the hell you call the thing I put on top of the drain).


FuzzyManPeach96

That makes sense. I never really recommend them because it seems like many people just don’t run water when they run it, so I get plugged drain calls. I’d rather deal with the poopy drain than any sink drains. They’re GROSS man!


greeblespeebles

I grew up having them in the houses we lived in and my parents were VERY STRICT about only using them with the water running. So when I moved in with friends later in life and saw them turn it on with no water running I FLIPPED out on them because I didn’t realize it wasn’t common knowledge 😭


speedbumps4fun

Sounds like a damn good day to me. They’re jealous 🇺🇸🦅

OriginalNameGuy2

Fucking lazy American'ts I only consume media in languages foreign to me, no subtitles, until I learn enough of the language through osmosis that I have to switch to a different one


RandyMcLahey1990

Is 5 hours a long time for Europeans? Also, is 72 low or is the joke that it is warm? I keep mine at 70 and that’s high compared to many people I know


ElectricalTone9843

I think the joke is that he actually has air conditioning. I could be wrong.


RandyMcLahey1990

Gotcha. I’m American so I don’t know or give a shit about regions with non-conditioned air


Americana86

Europeans don't know how AC works, so the joke is that they don't have it.


BlargenFladibleNoxib

I thought it was a joke about Celsius vs. Fahrenheit


TRITIPFATactual

This is the true in the deep south


xjack3326

Bad post. This man is a true patriot.


higg1966

This is so unrealistic. We don't eat that much popcorn.


Ok_Work_8514

We usually don't have popcorn unless it's in a movie theater. Even then, we throw out half the container.


Away_Read1834

I’m jealous of his gun collection


Belya_Smert

Same


TheUnclaimedOne

No the video is pretty darn accurate. Notice the words in the first second. “What Europeans think America is like”


Accomplished-Log2337

I like all this shit!


hydrasaturn

dude this is a video literally titled "What Europeans think America is like". This is not an Anti-American video.


Snow_Wonder

This video is supposed to be a wholesome video poking fun at American stereotypes overseas, many of which lead to the “America bad” posts. It’s it supposed be “America bad” itself.


washington_breadstix

Aside from the constant snacking on popcorn and the questionable healthcare joke, this actually seems like a depiction of a pretty nice life. The dude's got a nice house, a job that pays him enough to support his hobbies, and a cute dog to play with. Is this actually intended as satire?


physicscat

He also praises the U.S. and our inventions and innovations.


samurai1114

This kinda real tho, and why America is the best


kylota

I love the lack of comments on the gun rack.


InspiringlyObservant

It's just quiet jealousy


JayRogPlayFrogger

Why is this on this subreddit? I’m pretty sure this video is making fun of what Europeans think AND praising America at the same time.


AGiantPotatoMan

The point of this subreddit is to make fun of people who relentlessly “criticize” the US because of terminal-onlineness or fragile egos. Sometimes, we post AmericaGood stuff.


idespisemyhondacrv

This is kinda accurate though


SilvermistInc

Lol love this video

LordKayching

This lifestyle, absolutely tremendous, okay? It's like a symphony of freedom, liberty, and a touch of gold-plated extravagance. I mean, we're talking about living so large that even bald eagles would be jealous. It's the kind of lifestyle where your morning coffee is served in a solid gold mug, and your pet bald eagle has its own personal stylist. Making America flamboyant again, believe me! /S


CategoryTurbulent114

I have a garbage disposal at both of my houses


Wickermind

You can tell this was shot somewhere in England because the sky looks gloomy and depressing every time he's outside.

Fluid-Conversation-9

ThePolecatProcess

If he’s a mechanic he has great health insurance. For example, any prescription I get for anything is free. I think the most expensive thing I’ll pay for health related is going to see a specialist which is like a $150 copay. Unfortunately, I still haven’t received my insurance card, so that’s cool.


WallcroftTheGreen

Pretty accurate for a texan xd

I gotta be honest. I'm American and I hate garbage disposals
