People in the UK drink so much tea (or coffee these days), that breaks in soap operas (such as Eastenders) cause the national grid to be on high alert, due to the incredulous surge of power from so many kettles being turned on at once.
That’s incredible actually
- Not being able to afford healthcare and insurance.
- Half of the population worshipping a felonious, racist, homophobic sexist as if he’s a deity.
- K.C. Barbecue.
None of these are unique by any means (i wish the second was but fascism is rising globally).
The styles of it tho, I’ll give you that.
Sexist? When Jesus resurrected, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene. Eyewitness testimony from women was not even seen as reliable at the time. Jesus didn’t care, badass feminist. Homophobic? Jesus never condemned the gays, not even once. Or the four Gospels he was never recorded as saying anything remotely homophobic. Racist? Jesus is not even a white European lmao. Plus, people of all nations worship Him.
White American fundamentalists, they offer you religion. If you wanna find Jesus, he’s in the Bible. If you seek Him, you will find Him. God bless 🙏🏻
Unless you meant Trump… in which case you’re absolutely right lol. If I was a US citizen I’d vote for Harris probably.
school shootings (being common)
Losing a war with flightless birds.
Churches the size of castles full of people preaching humility.
Not just humility but literally poverty as a virtue too
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven but there’s such a thing as the Space Needle, and camels are like tiny compared to that thing…
Bro there are massive churches, cathedrals, temples, and mosques, across the Middle East, Europa, Asia, Africa, and both American continents… i assure you it’s not unique to whatever country you’re in
I guess I’ve never seen the equivalent of a megachurch anywhere else though. Cathedrals are big, for sure, but not like some of these monstrosities.
Walk in the Vatican City or il duomo in Italy, or St. Paul’s, St. George’s, or Westminster in England, or la sagrada familia in Barcelona… or a large number of other mega churches. Once inside you’ll see they’re comparable to modern mega churches but made ENTIRELY OF MARBLE instead of cheap ass sticks and drywall like American buildings. If you’ve ever been sitting in the pews of il duomo you’ll know you’re truly in a mega church, and once you’re done with service, there like 6 saints entombed a hundred yards from the pulpit, still inside mind you and nowhere close to any of the entrances
Megachurches usually have pastors who only want your money. False teachers. God is NOT an ATM.
God is everywhere. Surely priests/monks and mullahs and gurus, etc, etc. twist things cuz they want your money. But you at least believe in God right? Who else could have caused the Big Bang? There’s always cause and effect!

- Most gas stations serve hot food and it’s good (by American standards)
- Online banking allows instant direct cross-bank money transfer, so nobody uses Paypal or Venmo

- It’s not unusual for public parks to have exercise equipment
- For short domestic flights, time between entering the airport and boarding the plane can be as short as 60 seconds
- The milky way is still visible in good sized towns
- Praying mantises are still common
- Money (bills and coins) feature women, nature, and explorers not war generals, bankers, and buildings.
Seems pretty good. Where?
I’m guessing New Zealand.
I was going to say Australia until children attending school barefoot. I’ve also never caught a domestic flight in 60 seconds.
Going to the forest to pick mushrooms, nuts and berries. Going to the beach to pick up washed out amber. Having a lot of people grow their own food, even the city folk.
Proper Poutine
Okay not my country of residence, but you can choose to burn at the 4th hottest global temp of 54C (129F) or you can also freeze at -65C (-85F).
Optionally, you can also enjoy staring directly at the sun as it rises or sets due to the air pollution.
Oh and you can also find this funni river dolphin:
I didn’t know this would be a guessing game. What is Pakistan?
Hehe yes.
What a guy
We start our spicy food tolerance early, our candy is spicy.
Living below sea level for generations, and only remembering when you see other countries flood.
Almost as many saunas as cars. One sauna for every ~1.7 people.
You have the best hard seltzer full stop. Also how’s USA cosplay day lately?
UK. Cold and hot water coming from separate taps. WTF? I was once told that it is because hot water boilers used to have their tops open to the outside, which meant the hot water could contain some debris, so it was important to use it only for washing and not let it mix with cooking water. But in bathrooms in some modern builds that definitely don’t use that kind of boilers you still get separate taps. I told one of my British colleagues about how it’s been bothering me since I moved here and she said “oh yeah, I never realised that I’ve never seen that in any other country”. She also told me that kids are just taught to wash their hands quickly under the hot tap, so that they don’t run the water long enough for it to turn scolding hot. WTactualF?
But are showers just one head still?
Haha luckily yes!
kids are just taught to wash their hands quickly under the hot tap, so that they don’t run the water long enough for it to turn scolding hot. WTactualF?
That’s a wtf within the UK as well, just fill the bowl with water using the taps to get the right temperature.
Death from not being able to afford medical care
There are like 4 days a year everyone just puts their old sofas, broken TVs and other junk outside to be collected by a garbage truck the next day. As this furniture is mostly usable, people in white vans go around to collect the most valuable stuff, which makes up most of the traffic in villages on those days and causes old people to complain about Polish immigrants.
The village children also have a look around if the weather is nice. Village adults don’t, not because they are above it, but since there is a genuine risk a neighbour you’ve known for decades will sue you for stealing; the garbage does belong to them still as the courts have determined.
Edit: Sorry for forgetting the most important part.
I don’t think the furniture thing is that unique. I’ve been in a few countries where that’s called a council pickup and pretty common.
Every third monday of the month in my town
Well that just sounds like New Jersey.
