OI, OP! Do you ave a loicense fur dis ere meme?

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

I'll take a nationalism meme. Uh, and Pepe

Feeling brave today, are we?

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Is it nationalism when it is about not being from a place? 🤔

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Accessible healthcare and freedom from gun crime is SUCH a burden. Dodged the bullet there; proverbially, of course, as bullets are more an American thing.

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Y'all shit the bed on Brexit though. Imagine if the US let Texas leave

[-] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 5 points 3 months ago

But at least I'm not required to drink tea.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah just because you lot can't make tea. I get it, it's hard, it's boiling water on leaves, it's like two whole steps.

[-] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

Lol you got me. The first step of opium wars in China is just so hard for me.

Last time I was in London there was a shooting near Tower bridge

Since you guys want to be assholes about it, here’s some data to back up the fact that you have a fairly substantial amount of gun crime

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Remind me of the date and I'll tell you where the 1-7 daily mass shootings in America were for that day.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Wasn’t suggesting we don’t have gun violence. Merely correcting your statement of “freedom from gun crime”

Not that time m8

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Ah yes, that singular anecdote definitely cancels out the actual statistics on the subject.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Anyway everyone knows London doesn't count as part of the UK.

[-] supamanc@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I'll bet that every single place named Tower Bridge in the USA has had a shooting incident. Probably in the last year.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Yup, you’re probably right. I was arguing the wording, not the numbers.

[-] Renacles@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Laughs in EU

[-] Dirk_Darkly@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago

I agree. Getting stabbed by a gang of children is definitely better.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

For every case, it's easier to flee X number of kids with knives vs X number of kids with guns.

The "oh knives aren't safe either so toss the entire argument" has always been a bit of a sad joke.

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

The US also has a higher rate of stabbings per capita than the UK though.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

At least drop me a little something like that if you can't even think of a new title lmao

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 2 points 3 months ago

Sorry, I did a crosspost, but because there was no text it didn't put anything in the post body 🙁. I've added a link to the original post now, won't happen again slaps wrist

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You are forgiven! Still leave a meme tho, it's like leaving cookies for Santa

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago
[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago

Can't you read? Brasterisktsh.

[-] marble@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Btsh, Brtsh, Brrtsh, Brrrtsh, Brrrrrrrrrtsh all match the regexp. (British doesn't match regexp or glob though)

[-] M137@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Extra funny that's it's said by a 'Murican. That's objectively worse.

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

4channer must have got bit by a member of the royal family

[-] Blackout@kbin.run 2 points 3 months ago

Britian pre-brexit kicked ass!

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Did ya strain yourself coming up with the title?

[-] Wanderer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Once we clean up all these hotels this countries going places again.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Everyone gets so bent out of shape when something isn't Anti-American. If this had read:

wake up

still not Amer*can

day improves noticably (sic)

You'd all be dunking your crumpets in your tea and flicking your bean to the monarchy.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Unironically yes, and I'm not even British.
