Could you imagine the teeth of an English methhead?

Oh it’s real and no matter where you live the English have probably pillaged it for spices they never use.

Spices were too expensive for most of the population. Except for the likes of the powdered, wigged gents above.
My ancestors only had beans on toast to look forward to when they got back from working in the mines.

You had beans on toast?! We had to wake up an hour before we went to bed and all we had to eat was cold poison! Times were tough in Yorkshire

Nah, my ancestors pillaged the fuck out of the English 💪😁

Counterpoint: Americans would have a higher average numbers of fingers.

If they never use spices, what do they use for making curry?

Spices they don’t use?
What do you think tea is made of?

The UK has free Healthcare and better quality of life so I’m pretty sure their teeth are better than most americans
Logically when you think of it this way that bullshit excuse of a derogatory assumption made by anericans goes out the window
americans lack education about the world outside of america and are so narcissistic and think they’re better than everyone else that they don’t even bother to try and learn about the outside world and when they do learn of the outside world and other countries having better quality of life than them they make up bullshit mental gymnastics and deny reality because they can’t accept that
So no your bullshit derogatory misinformed opinion is simply not true and is just a stereotype because you americans like to bully other countries like the schoolyard bully that likes to pick on others
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
It’s not that we think we’re better than everyone else it’s that we know we are.

As some muslims in a muslim theocracy don’t think they are the only worthy to be saved: they go around saying they know they are.
Which is the universal annoying self-centered people who have no real nation, religion or actual belongship: they give a fuck about their flag/religion/social group only in the measure it serve their damaged, narcissistic, ego.

Don’t the British have better teeth than the US Americans?
enbipanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve not researched this, but I’ve heard it’s because mouth health is prioritised over aesthetics.
That basically means: no whitening.
Teeth are naturally yellowish
skisnow@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
also, dentistry is more accessible in the UK; free treatment is available to a bigger chunk of the population, and private dental care is cheaper as well.
So, in terms of severe complications stemming from lack of dental care, the US is worse, but the obsession with straightening & whitening means that people who have got it together enough to appear in the media generally have superficially nicer teeth.
It’s like most things in America - if you’re doing ok then it’s great, and if you’re not then the rest of the country just pretends you don’t exist.

That truly is the US in a nutshell. The US is fantastic if you are in the top 20% (and you have zero empathy for people you don’t know), otherwise this country truly sucks.

It’s also because Americans will spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures for their preteens. Braces are not as common elsewhere. Europeans think a lot of Americans look like they have dentures because of this.

I’ve heard that myth before, never see any evidence in favor of it, not that I can be arsed to look.
Nythos@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Not a myth and don’t speak as an authority on something you’ve never researched.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
What myth?
UK gets free dental care through the NHS. Just not aesthetics.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Not completely true. Children get free care through the NHS. So do some other groups of people, often people on benefits can but not all benefits IIRC. NHS dentist availability is a growing issue here too.
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
There’s a lot of people who can’t afford dental care tbh. If you’re unemployed/disabled/whatever you qualify for free care, and if you’re in a good job you can afford it. If youre on minimum wage trying to make ends meet you dont qualify and cant afford it.
Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.
sexy_peach@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
It’s pretty obvious that I meant healthier teeth. Which they have because they’re not avoiding the dentist as much. Because it’s paid for by insurance.
