dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This has been my joke for years, Japan is the England of the east. But at least the English enjoy vegetables, beans, and fruits that're relatively cheap, affordable, and more important than anything else plentiful in general society.

Also

Narrow streets and (waning in the UK) affinity for compact cars.

Similarly strict gun control

Fetishized by Americans

Do yankees really fetishize the brits? If anything I feel like they are looked down upon lol. Funny accent, bad teeth, weird food, worshipping a pedophile king...

[โ€“] Nopeace@hexbear.net 5 points 4 hours ago

I think Americans certainly used to fetishize the brits. "Hot guy with a British accent" hasn't been a stereotype for like ever for no reason but that being said I haven't heard anyone say that in at least a decade and we most certainly do shit on the brits extensively nowadays

Did you not see the inauguration or the royal wedding?

[โ€“] ghosts@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago

Good point, but no I didn't watch that garbage. I guess some yanks really do hate themselves :)
