    Out of all the stupid shit you can make fun of us for, this is what you chose? We’re fat, poorly dressed, uneducated, Pop Tart eating, loud, obnoxious, Cowboy, casserole eating, douchebags and THIS is what you came up with?

    This shit is funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_tMD5bTbLM

      What you listed are extremely mild stereotypes that Americans have heard a million times even from other Americans. They are about as offensive as “French eat croissant” or “Brits drink tea”. And these kids clearly want to be offensive to Americans

        You can tell this one really hurts us (us being Americans, not you and me) because of the reactions. You have someone on this thread threatening Greenland with CIA drugs.

        Like we look bad enough without this shitass reaction people are having in these threads.

          The reason this hurts people on lemmy, who tend to lean left, is because it goes after the most marginalized people in our society.

          They are not punching down. They are punching up at the richest and most powerful country the world has ever seen which might invade their home soon. Are you really going to spend your time tone policing children from Greenland?

          I’m with you. I welcome all kinds of resistance, but this one misses the mark for me. Not because of anything being offensive, but because of drug addiction being incredibly sad

            All those school shootings are incredibly sad. Kids deserved none of it. And I don’t only mean death, injuries and trauma for kids who experienced it, but also the “combat” training and fear for kids fortunate enough to only hear about it. And over the years, US did nothing to stop it.

            Drug addicts are definitely a much better target for jokes.

                Because I can’t understand how the same people can be oversensitive about others mocking their drug addicts and not riot about their kids being regularly shot at.

      Well if you’re not 300kg, it’s hard to pretend you are in a 15s tictoc.

      And at least it’s original, unlike your played out examples.

            OK, stuff some sheets in there.

            I’m in a place with similar temps to nuuk, a skin layer, cotton or shirt insulating layer, and a jacket is all you need, and even then you’ll get sweaty if there too much insulation. IDK where 3+ layers comes from, people who don’t have cold weather clothes and are layering thin cotton? Who count a scarf and hat as a layer?

                Bali is a famous home to giant reticulated pythons. No thanks.

                Oh, I hear its nice, I have a couple homies that ended up over there. I wanted to visit, along with the rest of SEA, but I nearly melted in Vietnam, so I can’t go any further south.

                  Understood entirely, the humid heat can be so draining. It’s spectacular though, and the people are beautiful.

      The Pop Tart thing seems a little too specific, but okay.

        Pop Tarts are more American than apple pie. Sweet processed garbage.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
