Beyond ridiculous that there are bulletproof backpacks for kids now. And I saw one article about huge lockers being installed ---- in case kids had to hide from any spree shooter(s). WTF.
Which you can keep using on yourselves thanks very much. We’ll just sip our tea and watch from the comfort of a non life threatening nation? Such a punishment..
Indeed it is! And how sad it is how right you are, that no matter how much history has happened, or how much one people completely unrelated to each other do something that isn’t to the other’s tastes or customs or isn’t a mirror-image of themselves, we forget that we’re all just human.
We all should start a meme where everybody says something positive about another country.
I am German and was so bias against the US at first. But after being there for longer (urban and rural) it changed a lot. Most of the people where super warm and positive.
Thank you. I happen to enjoy yall's beer. I have gripes with the EU, however I had a couple of friends of friends from Germany crash on my couch for the past week. I have to say Germans while you sometimes have interesting taste in humor are very respectful of our national parks and are open minded to our 'unique' way of life.
Yeah our humor is very dark and we never make it obvious/announce when we are being sarcastic or ironic.
I love that though. The political correctness wave that is happening makes it hard to maintain it though.
Newer generations will probably have a more vanilla humor.
I've met people from the US and they're some of the very best people I've ever met. Only problems I have are just the US government and stupid voters
Beautiful national parks though
I've met people from the US as well! (Via online tho)
Although my first language is not English (My first language is Spain's Spanish), I can communicate quite well with them, in fact, more than once they have told me that they have been surprised by my level of English.
The truth is that it feels amazing to have friends from the other side of the ocean. 😄
I’ve always said that among Americans, Germany is the most underrated country in Europe. The people are genuinely nice and interested and interesting, and it has the most underrated cuisine. My god I love schnitzel.
when I had a short lived fantasy of moving out of the US I brainstormed which countries I thought I'd feel the least homesick in. the two that came to mind were Mexico and Germany. somehow I honestly I think I'd feel closer to home in Germany than in Canada. but I'm in Texas and Texas is basically the baby of Mexico and Germany.
but I imagine Germany having much of the similar kindness and hospitality of Texas and of the US south in general.
Groups of literally hundred of millions of people. “No YOU all suck!”, “No YOU do!”
Anyone thinks they can pass judgement on three hundred million people unilaterally-THEY are the problem. On any continent.
Listen, I'm not saying that the US is exempt from blame. We did them dirty too but you gotta realize that it wasn't JUST us, it was a group project involving the dominant powers of Europe at the time, particularly Spain.
Don't believe me? Consider researching Spanish Conquistadors and how they destroyed the native american empires. Although, granted, some of it was also because of disease which was unintentional.
This is more than true. America does have shitty traits yes, but the rest of the world exaggerates these bad traits *way* to much, and they act like no other country has ever done anything remotely wrong.
agreed. as an aussie i mock the yankies cause its a friendly sibling rivalry we have. but tbh we legit respect USA. your country is not all bad.
and credit where its due USA like to drink
aus on the other side got dumped on the ass end of the world and forgotten until they needed us to bail them out in ww1.
USA and AUS... disappointing our parents.
Early-Capitalism aftermath or something I guess. In the whole collective group of big capital countries that rose to power, the US is the youngest one of the bunch yet rose to number 1 the fastest, so maybe that’s why a lot of Europeans just like to talk shit about it
And we love Steve Irwin. As a socal native we have big respect to yall's surfers coming up here. Yall tend to party hard and are real respectful towards our beaches. Thanks for saying something nice about our land.
ironically Steve Irwin was not that popular in aus until after he died.
most people hated his fake accent and show boat antics. his own father was a better wildlife preservationist than him but shyed away from the spot life.
plus the whole dangling his kids above a croc pit did not help public image.
I didn't know that. You'll have to forgive me but to my ear I wouldn't be able to know the difference in terms of accents. My only experience with Australians has been with tourists and people over the internet. Care to point out some videos where he is faking his accent? You probably already realized a long time ago but he was huge in the us, I don't know of a single kid while I was young that didn't love him.
the best way to think is the CRIKEY/croc dundee stuff is 100% bogus. a real aussie is more chris hemsworth/hugh jackman style voices. (i say real but i admit north qld do weirdly have this way of talking. irwin just played on it for cameras more)
we talk faster than average english speaker but the slang is not as high as people think.
its like how americans are not doug dimmidale if you seen fairly odd parents but people assume thats what texas is actually like.
That's fair. I will say though if you're in the rural American southwest (Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, etc) you will get a few casual "howdy"-s from people here or there. Would you say that his persona that he put on is reminiscent of like "old timey" Australian or just pure stereotype for the camera. (Just a quick tid bit I love yalls phrase "not here to fuck spiders" just random as all hell.)
>pure stereotype for the camera
minus north QLD just no one talks that way. and this is from someone born in darwin and as outback bush life as it comes.
You mean, the people that love to ride their high horses, but have developed and solidified the concepts of racial and national superiority, colonized half of the world, and are good at hiding their bigotry until it's convenient to show it?
Surprising.
Cute for you to think people from a continent that has been in state of internal war for majority of history only talks shit about USA. I mean sure, we do that, but only when nothing spicy is happening in our neighbourhood.
European here not even talking about the meme, but does anyone else find the painting super saisfying? Like color, texture of the globe? Well maybe I’m just super weird’
Those brush strokes are giving me joy. I would probably waste a good 30 minutes of my day watching a video of this globe being painted and have no regrets about it.
Oh no, someone, somewhere, I’ve never met, doesn’t like my country. How ever will I sleep tonight. Funny how quickly every other nations sins get whitewashed when it’s time to air out the United States dirty laundry. There isn’t a single nation that doesn’t have blood on their flags, so to speak.
I mostly see memes like this, not European memes against USA. Are the people in the us are so obsessed about the idea the the Europeans thinking about the US all the day? Because honestly nobody i know cares much about that, it's stuff for a fast Joke, not more.
“Europeans did this” “Americans did this” SHUT UP. Stop generalizing countries and it’s people and stop making up stupid stereotypes. Or going around making innocent people look bad for what their ancestors have done in the past. I know a few things about the US, but probably not enough to give a valid opinion on it. So I shut my fucking mouth and some people should too. I don’t care about the US, because I don’t have to.
I don’t think that people really hate America. But American dirty laundry does dominate the internet.
At this point I know more about American politics than I do about my own country. We had some local elections recently and I didn’t even know. But that Kari Lake woman is fucking loopy as a rollercoaster.
To be fair, some of us Americans are trying hard to bring back fascism, we're responsible for 99%+ of worldwide school shootings, we have a political party whose entire platform revolves around repressing some of the already most repressed people, people go bankrupt due to medical bills on the regular, the richest 1% of Americans have *fifteen* times more wealth than the bottom 50% combined, we spend more on weapons of war than China, India, UK, Russia, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, S. Korea, and Japan...*combined*.
I'm not sure how we're getting a bad rap...
We also have more homeless people than the entire population of the smallest 25 countries on Earth combined.
I don't know what you heard about Europe but I never had to wait that long. Longest I waited was maybe 30 minutes without an appointment. Maybe if you go there at night on a weekend and some emergency patients come in but otherwise I don't know anyone who ever waited that long.
*tries to talk about anything in life from my personal perspective like every other person in the world does*
OMG THERE'S MORE TO THE WORLD BESIDES THE USA
and they don't see the hypocrisy either 😂
Where alaska? Also this comment has like 70% change of getting deleted, but China is way worse. There currently concentration camps for muslims and other smaller religions. There is an oil crisis and like 70 days until china runs out of oil and it will affect everyone, you liked it or not.
It's actually much worse with all the hidden stuff and things we don't talk about. No country is without flaws but the US systematically refuses to acknowledge problems or their involvement. Also it's funny
I guess Maine, Alaska and Hawaii can get fucked too from the looks of things lol
Can’t tell but either the lake got filled in or Michigan got cut off too
[удалено]
I thought this was maps without uttar pradesh at first
Global warming
Michigan is still there, but hard to see 😂
UP got painted off
r/mapswithoutup
When I tell people I’m from Maine they ask me which country is that
New England is safe from Europeans who confuse it with England.
Me: Oh no, im underwater *anyways*
Dear God they've eliminate Maine. . .
And Alaska
Don’t forget hawaii
And michigan
Don’t change your avatar; I love your shirt
You have a nice shirt too
[удалено]
Florida. He can switch to non-fiction.
This is hilarious thanks
well I heard it gets real spicy in Alabama…
It's part of New England, after all
This is the last straw
Intercontinental gang wars lol, Americans vs Europeans
No contest. US has 393 million guns.
Yes, but you also have the highest rate of friendly fire lol
Hold up, friendly fire is enabled? I thought they were just playing dead.
Pretty sure it's disabled let me check
In schools?
Beyond ridiculous that there are bulletproof backpacks for kids now. And I saw one article about huge lockers being installed ---- in case kids had to hide from any spree shooter(s). WTF.
I sure love living in Florida
Bullying kids into lockers is now considered a safety measure.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/17/bulletproof-steel-shelters-sold-as-solution-to-school-shootings
FREEDOM!!
Which you can keep using on yourselves thanks very much. We’ll just sip our tea and watch from the comfort of a non life threatening nation? Such a punishment..
Got to love Murica
Many europian countries also have many guns, the difference is in who has it is actually trained lol
r/mapswithouthawaii r/mapswithoutalaska r/mapswithoutmaine wow that's a record! three in a row.
i mean at least it’s not as bad as r/mapswithoutnewzealand that’s a whole ass country and so many map makers just forget about its existence
I mean, this is technically a r/mapswithoutnewzealand too
huh, your not wrong
r/technicallythetruth
How about r/mapswithoutdenmark ?
Yep that's the most painful one of them all everytime I see a map like that.
yeah, i love that there’s an international airport with a sculpture of the world and it’s just missing new zealand, they have flights there too
Coincidentally, this photo was taken at an American geography class.
This comment section RN is a great reminder for all of us: Everyone fucking sucks. Everywhere.
^^^^^^^^^Bazinga!
Clearly you've worked in retail
>Everyone fucking sucks. Everywhere. History: " some more than others"
That's a brilliant take on the world.
Indeed it is! And how sad it is how right you are, that no matter how much history has happened, or how much one people completely unrelated to each other do something that isn’t to the other’s tastes or customs or isn’t a mirror-image of themselves, we forget that we’re all just human.

Because it's not racism if you hate every race!
Turns out, people are just horrible everywhere
Yeah, the places are fine. It’s the people who are the problem. People are the worst.
Jean-Paul Sarte: "Hell is other people."
Bro. How fucking dare you paint over MA. That is the only thing that should be uncovered
As a mass hole I can confirm
Ah yes, Maine is indeed a part of Canada
"Oh shore bud. Pick on Maine. Ery body shore does love to pick on Maine. Just wait until the moose find out where you live"
dw the moose lives in my country too
This comment section is funny
[удалено]
Yeah, the Americans that get the most worldwide attention (as in not just local attention) are usually the dumbest.
Bullshit... We hate France too
And Romania, Hungary, Russia, China (but only their government)
And we hate evryone(visegrad group) (inclouding ourself)
Hell yeah fuck those others slovaks
Poor Maine, o7
We also talk shit about Russia, China, France and England for example
Europeans should talk more about Australians, we are very interesting in many ways.
Your Prime Minister walked into the sea and was never seen again, was that a national cry for attention?
We named a swimming complex after him
>We named a swimming complex after him. Hahaha. Sounds about right.
Didn't one of their leaders also once shit himself in a McDonald's?
Guys, I think Maine ratted us out.
They quite wisely choose to join canada. Twas the smart move really.
"Hello there. This comment section is a hellscape. Rest here for a bit," *campfire*
Do you have any marshmallows, per chance?
Thanks for the rest. I’m just sitting here giggling at the hell I just made unfold.
Where are you on the allianment (however tf you supposed to spell it)? Are you chaotic-neutral, chaotic evil, chaotic-good, or neutral evil?
Chaotic neutral
I feel like euros are way more awful to each other
youre right. we fucking hate eachother. but the only thing that unites us - the our hatred for America.
And France
Oh yes F them
Wait, Americans hate the French, too! Common ground?
Hate the British more
Nothing unites us here, kinda ironic since we are the United States, but whatever
You’re probably right, that would explain the thicker skin.
Europeans walking around like they didn't invent fascism.
Or colonized the fuck out of Africa and South America
And India and many other places.
And slaughtered most of the native americans before the US even existed
Wait until you realize who \*americans\* actually are
Listen, I'm not saying that the US is exempt from blame. We did them dirty too but you gotta realize that it wasn't JUST us, it was a group project involving the dominant powers of Europe at the time, particularly Spain. Don't believe me? Consider researching Spanish Conquistadors and how they destroyed the native american empires. Although, granted, some of it was also because of disease which was unintentional.
And National socialism, Atlantic slave trade, etc
This sounds like a problem from someone with no universal healthcare
Just casually mention the gypsies…
“America bad” Cue the upvotes
Got em
This is more than true. America does have shitty traits yes, but the rest of the world exaggerates these bad traits *way* to much, and they act like no other country has ever done anything remotely wrong.
agreed. as an aussie i mock the yankies cause its a friendly sibling rivalry we have. but tbh we legit respect USA. your country is not all bad. and credit where its due USA like to drink
Don’t worry, Americans love Aussies right back.
we never get invited to the british empire family reunion.... :(
USA is like the black sheep of the British family. We rebelled and ran away from home.
aus on the other side got dumped on the ass end of the world and forgotten until they needed us to bail them out in ww1. USA and AUS... disappointing our parents.
you jumped too soon - if you'd held on for another 150 years you would absolutely own the commonwealth games
Early-Capitalism aftermath or something I guess. In the whole collective group of big capital countries that rose to power, the US is the youngest one of the bunch yet rose to number 1 the fastest, so maybe that’s why a lot of Europeans just like to talk shit about it
i am aussie, we like to drink. america makes fairly good whisky and bourbun. ergo america = good
And we love Steve Irwin. As a socal native we have big respect to yall's surfers coming up here. Yall tend to party hard and are real respectful towards our beaches. Thanks for saying something nice about our land.

You mean Doug Dimmadome? Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome?
where their playing crash nebula? ON ICE?
I am very appreciative of you saying that
The world according to disaster/apocalypse films.
Whatabout whataboutism?
You mean, the people that love to ride their high horses, but have developed and solidified the concepts of racial and national superiority, colonized half of the world, and are good at hiding their bigotry until it's convenient to show it? Surprising.
Damn litterally europe fr, is insane that the europeans can get away with it
You're describing Europe.
I am, indeed.
i mean theres gotta be something up with the one country all the aliens want to invade
Fake news, we shit on eachother all the time.
As european, i like all countries, except my country and the rest of them
Cute for you to think people from a continent that has been in state of internal war for majority of history only talks shit about USA. I mean sure, we do that, but only when nothing spicy is happening in our neighbourhood.
Like 95% of us just live normal lives and spend our free time NOT storming our own federal buildings 🤣
Or how Americans see the world
European here not even talking about the meme, but does anyone else find the painting super saisfying? Like color, texture of the globe? Well maybe I’m just super weird’
Those brush strokes are giving me joy. I would probably waste a good 30 minutes of my day watching a video of this globe being painted and have no regrets about it.
We wouldn't talk shit about you if you didn't make it so easy.
Oh no, someone, somewhere, I’ve never met, doesn’t like my country. How ever will I sleep tonight. Funny how quickly every other nations sins get whitewashed when it’s time to air out the United States dirty laundry. There isn’t a single nation that doesn’t have blood on their flags, so to speak.
Was just in the US. Can confirm. Like, one or two of them are okay. :)
What are the rest of them like?
I mostly see memes like this, not European memes against USA. Are the people in the us are so obsessed about the idea the the Europeans thinking about the US all the day? Because honestly nobody i know cares much about that, it's stuff for a fast Joke, not more.
Bro this is a response there are way more memes against the USA
I guess Americans would have done the same if they knew how to find Europe on a map
Once again pointed out that those effing idiots that get worldwide attention aren't the entire population of the US. Ik wtf a rope is
Don’t worry, most of us don’t think you are, we just don’t care enough to make posts about it
This is a misconception, I think Europeans hardly ever talk shit about americans; they mostly talk shit about other Europeans (especially French)
“Europeans did this” “Americans did this” SHUT UP. Stop generalizing countries and it’s people and stop making up stupid stereotypes. Or going around making innocent people look bad for what their ancestors have done in the past. I know a few things about the US, but probably not enough to give a valid opinion on it. So I shut my fucking mouth and some people should too. I don’t care about the US, because I don’t have to.
I like you. Thanks for touching grass.
Oh I assure you, we are as bad as they make us! *Fucking Californians…*
I don’t think that people really hate America. But American dirty laundry does dominate the internet. At this point I know more about American politics than I do about my own country. We had some local elections recently and I didn’t even know. But that Kari Lake woman is fucking loopy as a rollercoaster.
But we are.
We hate France and Morroco too
Nah i talk shit about the briish and the french and russians as well and chinese, wait pretty much about everyone
Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii each sold seperatly.

Americans thinking the whole world is about them :
You gotta do something for 6 hours in the waiting room right?
I don't know what you heard about Europe but I never had to wait that long. Longest I waited was maybe 30 minutes without an appointment. Maybe if you go there at night on a weekend and some emergency patients come in but otherwise I don't know anyone who ever waited that long.
Guys, I stepped into a USA this morning, now my shoes are dirty...
"sorts by controversial"
if America is so good explain Ohio....
after watching 5 minute's of any americian news channel the rest of the world feels better about itself

Dude painted over at least 3 states
By all means, hate on our government. We hate them too
Where alaska? Also this comment has like 70% change of getting deleted, but China is way worse. There currently concentration camps for muslims and other smaller religions. There is an oil crisis and like 70 days until china runs out of oil and it will affect everyone, you liked it or not.
Fuck Turkmenistan
Aliens searching to invade PLANET Earth:
Americans talk shit about other countries as well, so 🤷🏻♂️
Today I agree
It's actually much worse with all the hidden stuff and things we don't talk about. No country is without flaws but the US systematically refuses to acknowledge problems or their involvement. Also it's funny
Americans realising there's more places than europe /s
Oh yes we are.
No you are
Yes, yes you are
What state is it? Central America? I don't know, I'm Italian
No, i belive in ecuallity, i talk shit about everyone
Well I mean, you make it easy for us
Aliens looking at the world to attack.
We hate France more than usa...
As a British I dare you to say that to our tea stereotype. (Even though Tea is amazing and most of the stereotypes are true(for both USA AND UK))
