A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
American butter is shit tbf
The secret is the west coasts.
The french guy was talking about butter from Bretagne. West coast Irish butter is amazing. West coast Scottish butter is amazing.
Know why? Because it absolutely pisses down with rain almost every fucking day in west coast Atlantic areas, the grass grows like triffids and the cows eat themselves silly
Quite simple
I choose to believe it's their mutual hatred of England that makes their butter taste good.
I shall be adopting "like triffids" into my everyday vernacular from now on.
A good example why nationalism and pride about it makes no sense. Most people had no choice in where they are from, and had no influence on something like this. Having pride in something you did not influence and had no choice in is really weird and kind of narcissistic.
This is why it gets toxic and dangerous easily. We see similar issues with fans of sports teams, even though the fan has literally nothing to do with the team.
its just an ancient tribal instinct. oh, you're from the squirrel bones tribe? pssh, your berry bushes are shit. rat skull tribe have best berry bushes, and we have stream. squirrel bones tribe have no stream and bad berry bushes
Your sportsball team is shit. WE smashed you!
We!?! Really bob? Pretty sure you passed out and pissed yourself that night...
Lemmy users attempt to not steer conversations back to their 19th century failed politics challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
This is about butter, not nations. The nations are merely places in which the butter resides.
Literally about a nation. Literally says national pride.
The Irishman misunderstands
reminds me of JP Sartre: by disparaging the jews, the anti-semite instantly puts himself into a superior group without having to actually do anything.
Nationalism works the same way. "I belong to THIS socially constructed group! We do such great things!" as if they built the community from the ground up and weren't just thrown into a world with systems already in place independent of them that helped produce the things they're proud of...
Like sure community is a thing but at a certain point doesn't it get quite arbitrary what you take credit for? and doesn't that also mean we have to take credit for all the bad things too? every Palestinian would become Hamas and every American a drone pilot. those are precisely the reasons I am not patriotic and i dont find "shut up, frog" jokes funny. "just" tribalism? "just" a wee cheeky bit o fash in the mornin?
There are excellent American-made butters done traditionally. I hate that they're making me defend the US but they have no monopoly on shitty food. It's kinda just another form of exceptionalism.
There's no secret to good butter. Grass fed cows, fermented milk, and high fat content. It's just expensive.
Yeah, when people discuss american food they automatically think of off-the-shelf walmart stuff, mcdonalds, etc. When there are tons of artisanal food producers here, like a lot of them.
"American cheese isn't even cheese". I mean 'american cheese' is very processed. But go to Wisconsin and tell me we don't have good cheese.
There's plenty of good quality stuff in America. We just can't fucking afford it.
In average American food is terrible.
That doesn't mean there isn't great American food, it just means that the stuff that's sold the most is horridly heavily processed, thoroughly artificial and/or intensively farmed/raised crap.
It's not a lack of knowledge or capable people in that domain, it's that the system pushes cheap crap that whilst it own't kill you outright it will shorten your Life Expectation by almost two decades compared to most Europeans.
i will skullfuck you, american food is literally the only thing we do well because our cuisine is so fucking diverse holy shit are you completely and totally wrong. You just generalized an entire country full of diverse palates and tastes.
Absolutely just some posh dude's fanfiction
I went to a house party once that was a lot of different nationalities of Europeans. Two French guys got increasingly drunk and belligerent about the aesthetic quality of French churches versus Irish churches. To the point they had to he asked to leave because they were close to starting a fight. I've met several frenfh people over the years and theres always some spontaneous comparison between something in france vs here. OPs story is not so far fetched.
frenfh
Honestly the only thing more cringe than French people talking about France is Texans talking about Texas

How the fuck do you spread it?
Slice off a pad and pop it on a plate, then microwave it a little.
I don't know if that's how you're supposed to do it, but it sure as hell works.
What kind of high class bs .. lol
