It took me way to long to realise its Britain. My first thought was, that it would be the US and then got confused because this wasn’t the US.

Why are you being so cruel about Ireland?
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Ireland is barely in the picture.

I felt the joke would have had to be explained more if I’d said Alderney or Sark.

My brain worked so hard to make this look like America, even though now I know it isn’t I’m pretty sure its still the USA

It’s North America from an upside down perspective.

I mean, have you been to Birmingham?
scratchee@feddit.uk 1 month ago
I once had to stay in Birmingham after a cancelled train. On leaving the station I was accosted by a drunk demanding cigarettes, who started swearing at me after I admitted I didn’t smoke. That’s my only experience of Birmingham, I have to assume it’s typical.
stephan262@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes I have, and I found it to be rather pleasant actually… But then I am from Wolverhampton so it could just be the comparison.

I will always have a soft spot for Birmingham for giving us Black Sabbath. Luckily, I have never been there though, so the reality will not ruin it for me.

That’s so brutal, black metal fans burned a church in its honor

I genuinely don’t get why hating the UK has become so popular recently. Like, sure we have our problems, but it’s not that bad…

Brexit, probably. That lost a lot of international respect.
cRazi_man@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Have you not lived through the political shit show we’ve had? Brexit, COVID scandals, Boris Johnson, Farage, stagnating wages, poor productivity, inflation, high energy prices, NHS in crisis, housing shit show…and there’s no end in sight. Think the UK hasn’t been doing that badly is quite a willful refusal to see how we compare to the rest of the world and where we could have been if we functioned better.

randomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate on is funny sometimes (see: the fr🤮nch) Genuinely there is no other reason. sometimes people will create justifications/other explanations for it but really its just absurdist humor with a pinch of tribalism.
stevedice@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Is it recently, though? As far as I can remember, specifically England has been the US of Europe. Or you mean the UK as a whole?

UK export neoliberalisn,evagelicals and that traitor against all human Boris,UK will not be allowed to live that down for 100 year. UK stop having shit ideas.
banazir@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
I had a good, deep, cathartic laugh at this I didn’t realize I was in need of. UK politics has been an interesting but unfun mess for a long while.

Maybe this is the remnant of the last technological civilization that collapsed and disappeared, leaving behind a super massive floating wastepile in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually settled into where it is today. Along with all the survivors that have long since forgotten where they came from.

What do you think would happen if a population stayed within its own cesspit of a gene pool for a thousand years?

As someone who lives slightly north of the island in the middle of the south coast of this particular garbage patch; yes.

Dont even get me started on the patch above the Indian Ocean. That thing must have the highest peaks on earth.
