Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.

I've always loved that there's a whole jilted lover scenario playing out in these random stock photos.

But they often leave out the cool part at the end where the two chicks get together.

Pass the maple-bacon bratwurst, your French are taking on our French in the playoffs!

You want a hilarious sight, watch a French tourist trying to understand Quebec "French".

Cest quoi ton problem, tu pense que je parle pas Français? Est ce que tu parle Français? T'as rien a dire si tu parle pas Français.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

What's up with the quotes around "French" in Québec French?

Québec French, while different in some ways to the varieties of French found in Europe, is still very much French.

Never mind the fact that most Francophones currently live in African countries.

I've never seen the full four panels of this meme. Thanks.

There's more, the girls end up together. I actually didn't know the 3 predecessors.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 3 points 2 days ago

I feel like that's not a happy ending, the girlfriend is clearly an abuser

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Woah. She was double-fist punching?! That's double the domestic abuse per punch.

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Yeah go Canada! She was no good for you anyway!

I rode my bicycle to the boulangerie and I bought a beret and cigarettes.

I now laugh like this: "Hwar, hwar,hwar"

[–] neidu4@piefed.social 8 points 4 days ago

I used to eat a lot of maple syrup ad a kid. Time to start doing that again.

[–] TheKaul@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Man I feel so bad for 3rd panel guy

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Guy had abusive parents and no friends at school.

We need to forcibly remove all conservatives from our nation. Healing cannot begin until the cancer is removed.

Having a so deeply integrated economy with a crazy dangerous violent unpredictable neighbour like the USA was always a mistake. The EU, just because it's a coalition, was always a much more logical partnership, even with the obstacles. And obviously the first and best thing to do for every country is having a strong independent local economy. I was in protests againsts all this so called global economy 25 years ago, and everything we predicted would happened did. But hey, it's capitalism bitches, the market is always right.

When Canada has a backbone against American transphobia.
