Don't mention A4 paper, it scares the Americans. If any of them could read, they would be very afraid right now.

A4

Is that a type of rifle? I'll take 12!

Using entirely reasonable standards that most of the rest of the world has adopted is too hard for us for some reason.

Today I'm going to use paper to feel superior to someone else.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

To be fair, simply not having to live in the US already gives that rush.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Amateur, we professionals don't have to use anything for that

This week on “Things Non-Americans Think Americans Don’t Know About!”

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Right?

Like just because we export all our media to you (because it's better) and make fun of our stereotypes in that media, doesn't mean that most of us are like that. Believe it or not we actually have cool stuff that's uniquely American.

And the reason you see Kraft singles is because we don't want to share our BBQ with you.

export all our media to you (because it's better)

Lmao. Get back to me when you've got something like Taskmaster, Would I Lie To You, or QI.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

We can't do everything for you guys. We're holding down the imperial system almost single handedly. Help a brother out.

You're proving my point though? Those all look like C rate game shows that show up in the worst time slots here in the states.

If you said Doctor who, like 15 years ago, then I'd give you a solid maybe.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

look like

Yeah that's an American problem. Preferring a glossy looking garbage over something non-glamorous but substantial.

FYI I'm neither American nor European.

Tell me what country you're from, then, so I can look up how to roast it in the book of Places No One Gives a Shit About.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wow you're a really thinskinned dicktip.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, I'm trolling you because you're stupid.

[-] yuriy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

American here, you’re straight up wrong. We have no equivalent to their panel shows. Comparing them to game shows is like comparing open heart surgery to being stabbed.

[-] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

America has the Squid Games reality show and Mr Beast. They're kind of like Taskmaster if the point of Taskmaster was dangling life changing money in front of poor people.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They're nothing like Taskmaster then lmao.

[-] IronKrill@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That is the joke, yes.
