Before people take this too seriously, I think Toy Story was set in America and so was Inside Out and they seemed pretty slim. I'm sure there's a lot of others too.

I just think Americans should learn to take a joke considering they're living in one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dunno maybe some fresh new material would be nice for once

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Honey... you first. It's kind of hard for us to make fun of your culture when milk can grow one faster. You've got like 5 unique things to your country overall and (somehow) two of them involve dead or endangered kids. Otherwise any individual insult has to be state specific because the United States is the only country on the planet that even the 10th psychiatrist would say is schizophrenic.

Damn you seem kinda sad, I'm sorry the universe decided I would be born here lol, I recommend going outside, it's really beautiful (for now)

Awwwww, poor American couldn't keep up. Eh, if you're not gonna put any effort into it then I'm definitely not. Bye!

I read that whole thing in Stamets' "The scientists are talking" voice, and it was both savage and beautiful.

Gay science is a truly bitchy thing to behold <3

Honey… you first.

Established yourself as being deeply insufferable impressively quickly. Few traits more immediately obnoxious than this flavor of 'sassy condescension'. It's not unique, and it's not clever. You just sound whiny.

That goes doubly when it's the lead-in to a protracted "nuh uh, that's you" fueled by a litany of ignorant stereotypes. You sound like the kind of person who'd react to someone saying they didn't like your cooking by telling them that they can't complain because they aren't a Michelin restaurant chef.

All of those words and not a single one that

a) Matters

b) Has value

c) Refutes a single word I said.

Gaze upon my field of fucks and know that it is barren. Honey.

Go cry some more

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't asking for more proof of the insufferableness, but thanks anyway, lol.

Additionally, there was no America in WALL-E, it was all Buy n Large corporation. Not that I disagree with the memes premise, however.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As an American, I'm willing to speculate that Buy N Large might not even be based on my country.

Goes back to sipping a Big Gulp

"Big Gulps, huh? Alright! Well, see ya later!"

Everytime.

I never saw that! I heard great reviews though, but I think the whole Disney+ stuff kinda buried it from being a "must-see".

Unless there's a Minnesota and San Francisco in Canada, no.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh, right. That fact definitely never registered in my mind. I've only watched each film once, and my impression was they moved to San Francisco from Canada. Hence my doubt.

Must've been all the hockey.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Turning Red was in Canada tho

It is next to the ocean, which doesn't smell that great.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, you're right. They moved to San Francisco, but yes the family was originally from Canada.

I mean, there were some slim San Francisco people in the movie there still too. From like the bus and the school kids! ... I feel like I'm fumbling ... lol

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It seems like they were originally from Minnesota. I stand corrected.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

lol, oh right ... it's just that they liked hockey so they had to be from Canada 🤣 in my mind

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

People that take it too seriously deserve to be upset.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I would guess that Cars was set in the post-human location of the USA.
