This isn't a meme. It's a screenshot of a conversation.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's quite funny actually so I consider it a meme

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, grandpa, maybe enough internet for you today.

You’re a screenshot of a conversation

Huh? I think you're on the wrong meme...

I'd love to understand this joke, could someone explain?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Dublin is in Ireland, not Great Britain. There was a whole kerfuffle about it.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

And car bombs were involved.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

No, the Irish war of independence was 1916-1920 and was mostly fighting with guns. The car bombs was much later during the troubles and was about northern Ireland.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

He did say there was a kerfuffle.

‘Twas only a spot of Troubles

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

The Kerfuffles. Plural.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, of course...but why the car? Because there's a car bomb, IRA-style?

Not to be that guy. But Great Britain refers to mainline England, Scotland, Wales. The term you're looking for is the United Kingdom.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The original post said “name a place in Britain”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Britain is the geographical location. The United Kingdom is the country.

Hence the full name of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Mainline, Scotland. What is Trainspotting? I'll take plot-lines in two words for $500 Alex.

The IRA would've loved Teslas.

I've heard your mother's bedroom is quite a popular destination

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Your mom is in there every other night
