I'm just gonna say it: Potato salad is NOT THAT BAD!
If it's made by your grandma and with the right ingredients, anyway.
Where is all this hate for potato salad coming from???
The United States. Apparently it's a very niche thing over there 🤷

not at all, it's a summertime staple in many places. Unfortunately it's also fucking gross, right up there with coleslaw - you took something good, like a tater or some lettuce AND FUCKED IT ALL UP and left it wet and nasty.

I most certainly did NOT! Danish potato salad is fucking delicious! Nothing like the miracle whip and corn syrup monstrosity that's being referred to here!
you in the perpetrator sense, not you in the personal sense. sorry if that wasn't communicated.
Yeah I know, was just funnier to pretend that I didn't 😉
All kidding aside, though, you have to try Scandinavian/German style potato salad! That shit is SO good!
The weird thing is that it's super commonplace over here, so lots of people do enjoy it. There are a lot of different kinds of potato salad and I'm betting the mega-Karen in the OP is referring to the kind that is pretty much just potatoes in mayo (which, for the record, is disgusting).
Maybe I'm lucky because I live near Pennsylvania Dutch country, but there's an abundance of good potato salad here.

Potato salad is fucking amazing and I will die on this hill
I'll take it one step further and say potato salad CAN be downright delicious when made well... I have also had potato salad so bad that it caused me to have an existential crisis about how I ended up where I was, eating what I was, and I had to pause to reconsider my life's choices.
In the best case, a German grandma
Exactly.
You know, being 1/2 Korean and 1/2 typical white American I can say y'all shouldn't be sleeping on potato salad. You can use other and additional ingredients than mayo. My Korean family fucking loves my white family's potato salad.
*Americans who eat potato salad.
In Scandinavia and Germany, it's popular amongst all sorts of people, not just megakarens..

Picture of potato salad:
I don't think that image uploaded correctly. It's just blank below your comment.
It's visible to my other account on Jerboa. Try loading it in a browser. Images have been fucky for some users lately.
They said that cause it's John Cena....
🤦♂️
Baader-Meihoff fuckin' with me cuz I recently saw a thread about images not loading lol
It's cool. Thanks though. Trying to honestly be helpful is always in style.
You can't see John Cena
I can't see... what?
The Real Tater Salad
Heck the cops even have that as an alias.
Why is her face too small for her face?
I was going to type something mean about her but I'm afraid she could sense I was rude on the internet and telepathically cause my skull to explode like a hard boiled egg in a microwave.
TIL hard boiled eggs can explode in a microwave and that the explosion can be as loud as 133 decibels. For reference sake, a gunshot is about 155 decibels depending on caliber, so that's one loud ass egg.
That's actually not a very good comparison since, decibels being a base 10 exponential scale, the loudness of 133 and 155 decibels are not at all comparative.
A much better comparison is a 1984 Motörhead concert:
Lemmy and co.’s set was allegedly measured at 130 decibels, before it was cut short as plaster from the ceiling started to rain down on the audience below.
And that's still MUCH less loud than a microwave eggsplosion!
Squaren
It would be weird if I just eat the dill all by itself.
I personally love potato salad but I think the biggest thing that hurts its reputation is when it's bad IT'S BAD!
After you have defeated 10 regular Karens you get to fight Megakaren.
I don't understand what this has to do with potato salad but I can't stop laughing
I'll have you know I was taught how to make potato salad by a Tongan dude who looks nothing like this
But yeah, I resemble the image XD
I don't know... I think she zoomed past the potato and plowed straight into the ambrosia salad.
