Transcript

A threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

Edit: swapped image link, RIP lemm.ee

To be fair, it's easier to manage a pub than a whole country.

True but ancient Egypt wasn't one long running state; it was a bunch of different states that rose and fell not unlike China.
