Free market Jesus.
There are like 4 days a year everyone just puts their old sofas, broken TVs and other junk outside to be collected by a garbage truck the next day. As this furniture is mostly usable, people in white vans go around to collect the most valuable stuff, which makes up most of the traffic in villages on those days and causes old people to complain about Polish immigrants.
The village children also have a look around if the weather is nice.
Well that just sounds like New Jersey.
I don’t think the furniture thing is that unique. I’ve been in a few countries where that’s called a council pickup and pretty common.
Every third monday of the month in my town
Sounded like hungary until the “old people to complain about Polish immigrants” part
Here they complain about gypsies
school shootings (being common)
If you go far enough, you will see deserts, tropics, and taigas. I think that’s unique to us, at least…
US or China?
Maybe Chile? They’ve got a tropical island and the mainland goes from desert to Antarctic
I was gonna say something similar, but I’m pretty sure the same could be said for the country North of mine. Or South of mine except for the taiga.
Interesting, I can’t think of two countries bordering each other that have all of these.
To be fair, the deserts in the north are frozen. And the taiga here is more connected to them than to us.
Checking under the toilet seat for redbacks.
Wiener Schnitzel
Most of what an American would call bread, we don’t consider bread. Bread is dark. They don’t really sell bread in American stores, not sure about western Europe.
Our mustard will make grown men cry and your nose runny. Can be helpful when it’s blocked actually.
- Not being able to afford healthcare.
- Half of the population worshipping a felonious, racist, homophonic sexist as if he’s a deity.
- 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
Fruit Explosion Muffins
Holy shit those look amazing. Those are at Tim Hortons?! I gotta try that shit.
Lower your expectations, it’s still a Tim Horton muffin
Fair. But they’ve had good ones before. That cream filled pumpkin shit muffin was bomb af.
Our “solution” to gun deaths is to add more guns.
Make armor out of guns.
Churches the size of castles full of people preaching humility.
Bro there are massive churches, cathedrals, temples, and mosques, across the Middle East, Europa, Asia, Africa, and both American continents… i assure you it’s not unique to whatever country you’re in
I guess I’ve never seen the equivalent of a megachurch anywhere else though. Cathedrals are big, for sure, but not like some of these monstrosities.
Walk in the Vatican City or il duomo in Italy, or St. Paul’s, St. George’s, or Westminster in England, or la sagrada familia in Barcelona… or a large number of other mega churches. Once inside you’ll see they’re comparable to modern mega churches but made ENTIRELY OF MARBLE instead of cheap ass sticks and drywall like American buildings. If you’ve ever been sitting in the pews of il duomo you’ll know you’re truly in a mega church, and once you’re done with service, there like 6 saints entombed a hundred yards from the pulpit, still inside mind you and nowhere close to any of the entrances
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!
US or is there another?
I assume some place in Europe because they write 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.)
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
Probably like, 95% of the people in my city are either neutral or supportive of LGBT people. The last 5% are so fucking insane that it’s still scary to be LGBT. - (major Texas city)
Edit: I kinda assume this is unique because I’d think most places are either safe (with the occasional heckler) or completely unsafe. Texas seems special because it seems like most people don’t care or are supportive, but then you get the nutjob who’s entire reality is shattered by the idea that you aren’t straight and/or cisgendered and all they can do is get apocalyptically mad about your existence.
Edit 2: oh yeah, on a less depressing note, iirc Texas is like, sorta kinda half canyon. Iirc Palo Duro canyon doesn’t really have an end to it, it just kinda… widens until it becomes part of the normal landscape (I might be thinking of a different canyon though). As such, you could basically consider anything downstream from the canyon as being inside the canyon, resulting in a huge chunk of Texas existing in a canyon!
The most popular pop culture in the world
Japan?
No. Lol.
Losing a war with flightless birds.
Have you tried diplomacy?
We try to get the fallen back but none yet.
Cheesesteaks. And no, a steak sandwich doesn’t count.
Chicken cheesesteak with provolone and fried onions on an amoroso rollllllllll
This has always bothered me. If you don’t use steak how can it do be called acheesesteak.
