    Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I’d gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy

      Tbf some of those former territories aren’t in very good socioeconomic shape. If we’d ended up like Canada that would have been winning the lottery, but plenty of those other former colonies have plenty of problems like classist India.

        Canadians are nice, so they are rewarded with a nice country.

      Don’t quote me on this but America winning the war played a big part in the spread of democracy around the globe.

        It is a prevailing myth, but personally I am not sure I believe it. I don’t know if it is based on anything.

      Don’t the British have better teeth than the US Americans?

        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

        Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.

      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

    Ok so here’s the thing: If America lost the war, America would likely be akin to Australia. The UK used it’s North American colonies like they did Australia (that is, a place to transport convicts) so you’d basically be like Australia in that regard. You’d likely be like…cold weather Aussies.

    Also:

    • Australia would be…different? Maybe Dutch?
    • We might not have had a French Revolution, or it may have been different, because a lot of the ideas from the American Revolution inspired the French Revolution.
    • Since the French Revolution have rise to the idea of the modern nation state and Napoleon, we’d not have a lot of countries.

    Southern cuisine would be salt beef, white bread and Yorkshire tea.

    source
    • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Nah, that would be the northeast AKA New England. Southern Cuisine would probably be French and Mexican/Spanish food, the Louisiana purchase and a few American wars never happening.

      Then again who the fuck knows what the colonial powers would have gotten up to without the US zealots taking over? 🤷

    It was one lot of Brits against another lot of Brits anyway. Basically one lot looked like the picture above and the other dressed like cowboys. Not during the war obviously. Afterwards when they went West and hammered the native people.

    Sorry, if im smoking crack I strip down to my undies and cover my self in butter. That’s just the way it is.

      With the price of butter these days I think I would use rapeseed oil instead. Much cheaper to cover myself in.
