Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.

I see what you did there, but fyi I'm from middle Europe

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 9 points 10 months ago

There's no such thing as Middle Europe. Oder river separates Western Europe from Eastern Europe. That's it.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

I think we found the Wise Old Fat Man of the River

Central Europe: a term invented by the less eastern eastern europe so they stop getting called eastern europe

[-] mory@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

As a less eastern eastern european, can confirm

London would be in Central Europe.

Just a joke mate :) x

fat stupid American

AKA an American.

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

how many layers deep is this? the stereotypical european would say something like that. Or is that the joke and I'm just too simple to understand?

[-] Globulart@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Haha it's absolutely the joke mate.

I, a European, objected to being stereotyped in any way so I proved the point by being oblivious to myself doing the exact same thing.

I don't think all Americans are fat and stupid. Some are actually pretty thin as it goes...

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Absolutely! I actually met the thin one at a conference once

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 11 points 10 months ago

Hey, I also met the thin American once. Small world....

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

as a fat stupid american, thank you for explaining the joke, mate

[-] Globulart@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

No worries you adorably chubby simpleton you :) x

Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to not visiting the dentist and having a more advanced sense of humour than you.

Just barely these days unfortunately...

[-] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

At least it doesn't cost 1000 for a ride in the WooWoo van

[-] Globulart@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

True enough. I'm definitely not saying its worse than the US, it's just so badly understaffed at the moment that any "non emergency" surgery will likely be a year or more waiting.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful it exists at all, but there's a reason doctors have just announced the longest strike in NHS history unfortunately. My wife is a doctor and frequently treats dying patients in the corridor, it's just a mess and a lot of people seem to think it's being deliberately underfunded to eventually make privatisation the only option.

[-] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's one downside of public infrastructure. The government can only allocate a certain budget. There's a similar situation where I live but it's about a school.
