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.
I was 99% sure Finland for the first one though, but somewhat makes sense
Being atheistic as the norm. Sky daddies don’t hold much power here.
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.
spending to much time at work and to much time on medical billing and administration and spending to much time on taxes and other government paperwork while making enough for now if your lucky but knowing you won’t have whats needed later in life
Unfortunately not just a U.S. thing
You are save to eat raw meat. I Love Mettbröttchen with Zwiebel.
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.
I can tell if you’re Catholic or Protestant by the way you pronounce the letter H.
I thought this was a reply to one of my comments for a second and thought “what kind of roast is that?” haha
Going bankrupt due to medical bills.
It’s easy to tell where you live.
It’s in your username.
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
People playing and hearing songs with looped beats and vulgar lyrics through a bass boosted sound system which costed them several months worth of minimum wage to pay for having it on their cars. They generally drive slowly through streets near beaches in order to exhibit their “fancy sound systems” while all the vulgarity plays repeatedly. I guess it’s unique from this green-and-yellow country where I live.
I could also say wearing flip-flops and bermudas on a daily basis, or one of the highest usage and dependency of Meta’s WhatsApp worldwide, or the country with the most welcome (often too nosy) people. Or, through a more positive lens, the richest land where crops easily grow when you sow something, the highest ecological diversity (especially plants, it’s so common to find exotic plants here), the highest climate diversity (you can travel south to meet snow, then travel north/northeast to meet hot climates, without leaving the same country), etc.
- 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.
Proper Poutine
Cheesesteaks. And no, a steak sandwich doesn’t count.
Chicken cheesesteak with provolone and fried onions on an amoroso rollllllllll
Churches the size of castles full of people preaching humility.
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?
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.
Winning a domestic sports league and calling yourselves “World Champions”
school shootings (being common)
