european stereotypes
_number8_, fuck why can’t i live in europe. almost every day i have the opposite experience where a well meaning midwest person tries to be friendly and my brain just…stalls and does something like this
sexy_peach, come to berlin nobody here is friendly
MindSkipperBro12, Have they finally rebuilt the city since the war?
sexy_peach, It’s mostly shitty pre WW2 buildings… They do look nice and give the city character I guess.
Valmond, Lot of east-block stuff from after the war too.
DriftinGrifter, Barlin ist atzenplatz1
PRUSSIA_x86, Oh that’s Ohkay, yoo know we all have days like thiat
doublejay1999, 
What he was trying to politely say is “I’m not sharing my joint with vous”
UnRelatedBurner, (edited ) Every single European stereotype is true.
doctorn, 
It’s almost as if stereotypes are based on some truths… 😅
Kusimulkku, Oh boy, you do not want to say that
UnRelatedBurner, he did tho, and I agree
Globulart, (edited ) Sounds like something a fat stupid American would say.
samus12345, 
fat stupid American
AKA an American.
problematicPanther, 
how many layers deep is this? the stereotypical european would say something like that. Or is that the joke and I’m just too simple to understand?
Globulart, (edited ) Haha it’s absolutely the joke mate.
I, a European, objected to being stereotyped in any way so I proved the point by being oblivious to myself doing the exact same thing.
I don’t think all Americans are fat and stupid. Some are actually pretty thin as it goes…
problematicPanther, as a fat stupid american, thank you for explaining the joke, mate
Globulart, No worries you adorably chubby simpleton you :) x
Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to not visiting the dentist and having a more advanced sense of humour than you.
Hiro8811, (edited ) Plus public healthcare
Globulart, Just barely these days unfortunately…
Hiro8811, At least it doesn’t cost 1000 for a ride in the WooWoo van
Globulart, True enough. I’m definitely not saying its worse than the US, it’s just so badly understaffed at the moment that any “non emergency” surgery will likely be a year or more waiting.
Hiro8811, Where is that?
Globulart, UK
Hiro8811, didn’t expect that
Globulart, Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful it exists at all, but there’s a reason doctors have just announced the longest strike in NHS history unfortunately. My wife is a doctor and frequently treats dying patients in the corridor, it’s just a mess and a lot of people seem to think it’s being deliberately underfunded to eventually make privatisation the only option.
Hiro8811, (edited ) That’s one downside of public infrastructure. The government can only allocate a certain budget. There’s a similar situation where I live but it’s about a school.

Absolutely! I actually met the thin one at a conference once
ExLisper, Hey, I also met the thin American once. Small world…
UnRelatedBurner, I see what you did there, but fyi I’m from middle Europe
Globulart, Just a joke mate :) x
ExLisper, There’s no such thing as Middle Europe. Oder river separates Western Europe from Eastern Europe. That’s it.
Name, What about latitude!
ExLisper, London would be in Central Europe.
Hiro8811, True
Broccoli, 
ExLisper,
crispy_kilt, (edited ) Central Europe: a term invented by the less eastern eastern europe so they stop getting called eastern europe
mory, As a less eastern eastern european, can confirm
HerbalGamer, 
I think we found the Wise Old Fat Man of the River
kuneho, 
especially as you go more and more to the east
Justas, 
No, most Lithuanians are not gangsters or hookers, we just exported those abroad.
Kusimulkku, This gets bad quickly
