No humor like British humor

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 44 points 2 weeks ago

British ~~humor~~ humour

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

English

The Scots and English are different countries

The Welsh too

And Northern Ireland should not be a part of the UK.

Perhaps if anyone could get a good cup of tea in Boston, things would be a little more civil.

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i happen to recall they do like to throw tea parties.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They use harbor water in the tea though

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean they cold brew the tea in the oceab basin?

Honestly, right now I’d love to be annexed by Canada.

Or Denmark.

Like. I’d totally help make that happen.

[–] Junkers_Klunker@feddit.dk 27 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Dane here. while your offer is flattering, we can’t accept as we have our own environmental problems to fix first. We don’t need another dumpster to clean.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But but but... You could clean Texas!

[–] Junkers_Klunker@feddit.dk 7 points 2 weeks ago (36 children)

It would require a genocide to clean Texas of all their environmental issues. And as far as I’m concerned, genocide is wrong.

You couldn't pay us enough to put up with your fucking yahoos. I think you're going to need to figure it out yourselves.

America will always do the right thing, after they've tried literally everything else.

[–] SEND_BUTTPLUG_PICS@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We don't even try the wrong things. We just keep doing the same old shit we've been doing and wondering why nothing ever changes.

As much as I despise the imperial legacy of my home country, this got a laugh out of me.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Ok but I want that sticker

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The Scots are a bit more chill. With the English stickers, that’s what they call “banter” (i.e. essentially shitposting), but when you see a St. George’s flag, there’s always an edge of aggression to it.

Not that Scottish football fans can’t be aggressive, just that they refer to the Northern Irish sectarian conflict when doing so.

Britain is doing a great job, sentencing climate protesters as terrorists. I'm happy to echo the opinion that man shall never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

As a Canadian, I find this incredibly hilarious.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 12 points 2 weeks ago

Probably about half of us will find this funny as hell. I know I do.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Boston/Mass ain’t exactly republican strongholds…

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That blue guy better not be a Brit talking about colonialism. Come to think of it, better not be Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese either.

I'm down for being annexed just please

  1. Don't be a country seriously considering electing Nigel Farage or the local equivalent
  2. Be careful how much you annex or you will get #1 eventually.

What did you Yankees do to the country of the Fist Nations? Take America Back should be the cry

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 12 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I'm mean...... If we're pointing fingers about the colonization and genocide of indigenous people, I don't know if the British really have room to make a lot of criticisms without a huge helping of hypocrisy.

Most of the deaths of indigenous people in North America happened before the concept of America even occurred. Some of the most horrific violence that ever occurred in North America was perpetrated during the King Phillips war by English colonialists.

The amertican people have been asking for some time for Britain to take us back. Thats how bad our government is-- we'd happily sign back onto the absolute dumpter fire of British government rule and it'd be a great improvement.

Well, Canada turned out better under British rule. I say, the Red Coats should march back into their former colony and press reset!

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Would be funny if it was any country other than UK saying that lol

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

It makes it funnier

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

If I had to choose between being British and American, I think I'd just kill myself.
