American can either be like : 9/11 is like the worst day in the entire universe lifespan . Don't ever disrespect it, ever!

Or

I ate Mexican tacos and a few hours later, it was like 9/11 all over again in the bathroom. It was so bad that I almost melted my toilet. The keyword is almost, cause we all know jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

There's a weirder type of people that are not even Americans and act like the first type.

As a non american, all I know is that it was not that big of a fucking event, people died but with the gravity they talk about it compared to other actual big world events, you'd think that millions died.

Mind you, I'm not against them being like their stuff was serious, all I ask is about consistency. I've been called terrorist jokingly for being from the Basque country by the same people that got super offended by 911 jokes. How fucking dare them.

I ain't American either and I share the same feelings.

It's okay, you can say 'Canadian' on this server.

I didn't expect to get this far - I've got nothing.

I think a big part of that divide is whether they were old enough to remember it. I was only a few months old on 9/11 and I've always been pretty irreverent about it.

I was in high school when it happened. I got to see the government overreach, the increased racism and jingoism masquerading as patriotism, the transition of airports, the start of a war we just finally ended, and eventually what Rudy Giuliani turned into.

But I also know a good/horrible knock knock joke about it.

Knock nock

Edit: I just realised I'm dumb, you're the one who knocks so let's assume you did

Who's there ?

9/11

9/11 who?

You said you'd never forget!

Nice thanks !

I remember watching it happen in school and even I know jet fuel can't melt steel beams, but a good hot sauce will make a good go of it.

They make this ointment called calmoseptine. It's like desitin but it has a soothing effect. Ring around that rosie and you'll feel better

What anime is the elf girl from ?

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

Delicious in Dungeon (aka Dungeon Meshi), which is airing on Netflix right now. It’s an excellent show.

Marcille from Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon (official translation)

[-] verdare@beehaw.org 7 points 5 months ago

That’s Marcille Donato from Delicious in Dungeon.

(Watch it. It’s really good.)

Probably an elven village

Tbf he seems a lot like he should be from Winnipeg, though I can't explain why

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 months ago

That's in the better timeline with Harambe and the Bearnstein Bears.
