- 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.
- using Imperial over metric system
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.
Our court system can sue a bag of money, find it guilty, then the bag of money goes to the coffers of the police department that legally stole it from a citizen that committed no crime other than having a bag of money.
… You’re American, aren’t ya
Yep
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!
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
The most popular pop culture in the world
Japan?
No. Lol.
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?
Unchecked gun violence by a population against itself
UK. Cold and hot water coming from separate taps. WTF? I was once told that it is because hot water boilers used to have their tops open to the outside, which meant the hot water could contain some debris, so it was important to use it only for washing and not let it mix with cooking water. But in bathrooms in some modern builds that definitely don’t use that kind of boilers you still get separate taps. I told one of my British colleagues about how it’s been bothering me since I moved here and she said “oh yeah, I never realised that I’ve never seen that in any other country”. She also told me that kids are just taught to wash their hands quickly under the hot tap, so that they don’t run the water long enough for it to turn scolding hot. WTactualF?

That’s a wtf within the UK as well, just fill the bowl with water using the taps to get the right temperature.
Weirdest UK experience for me was the electrical shower heater thingy. Still can’t wrap my head around that one. But it’s apparently not unique to the UK.
But are showers just one head still?
Haha luckily yes!
Ketchup chips.
What kind of chips do you mean? French fries or Lays? If the latter, I doubt it. If the first, I doubt it. Salt and vinegar crisps on the other hand, are uniquely popular in the UK.
Potato chips! We have salt and vinnies here too. Not unique to the UK at all.
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.
Losing a war with flightless birds.
Have you tried diplomacy?
We try to get the fallen back but none yet.
School shootings.
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
In 150km of travel you can technically cover elevation of > 8,500 m
My country is the opposite. It’s pretty much impossible to travel 150km and accumulate more than 8500 height meters. (highest point is 170 meters, and it’s a loooong walk to get there).
Death from not being able to afford medical care
They said “unique”, not “very common”
I mean it’s still unique to the US. Plenty of other, poorer countries have better healthcare.
By poorer countries you probably mean poorer countries that are still rich (every country is poorer than the US), most countries have no free healthcare and if they have you’ll probably get more sick by going to the Hospital
Szent János hospital (Budapest):
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
😆
