Interstellar_1What's an experience that is unique to your country of residence?
Fruit Explosion Muffins
CruxifuxHoly shit those look amazing. Those are at Tim Hortons?! I gotta try that shit.
FilliciaLower your expectations, it’s still a Tim Horton muffin
Fair. But they’ve had good ones before. That cream filled pumpkin shit muffin was bomb af.
Baron Von Jschool shootings (being common)
AtomicHotSauce- Not being able to afford healthcare.
- Half of the population worshipping a felonious, racist, homophonic sexist as if he’s a deity.
- Barbecue.
The Stoned HackerNone 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.
There are two types of BBQ: KC and wrong.
- using Imperial over metric system
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.
Mossy Feathers (She/Her)95% of the people in my city are either neutral or supportive of LGBT people. The last 5% are so fucking insane that it’s still scary to be LGBT. - (major Texas city)
HipsterTenZeroIf you go far enough, you will see deserts, tropics, and taigas. I think that’s unique to us, at least…
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆I was gonna say something similar, but I’m pretty sure the same could be said for the country North of mine. Or South of mine except for the taiga.
Interesting, I can't think of two countries bordering each other that have all of these.
To be fair, the deserts in the north are frozen. And the taiga here is more connected to them than to us.

Our solution to gun deaths is to add more guns.
Make armor out of guns.
Churches the size of castles full of people preaching humility.
US or is there another?
Christ I hope there isn’t
Well there’s this place…
I mean I guess you can have ONE but we’re lousy with ‘em over here.
Yeah it feels like they’re about as common as Costcos these days
I assume some place in Europe because they write literally have cathedrals and such that are like castles.
Though, I’ve never actually seen a megachurch from the US to be able to compare sizes. They’re definitely unique to the US.
whotookkarlNot just humility but literally poverty as a virtue
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…
Good thing the Space Needle has no eye.
Leave me alone! I’m rationalizing!
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!
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
Losing a war with flightless birds.
Have you tried diplomacy?
We try to get the fallen back but none yet.
NineMileTowerThe most popular pop culture in the world
Japan?
No. Lol.
Cheesesteaks. And no, a steak sandwich doesn't count.
Chicken cheesesteak with provolone and fried onions on an amoroso rollllllllll
This has always bothered me. If you don’t use steak how can it do be called acheesesteak.
Horrible Past.
(Fossil) Vehicle production as economic livelihood.
Bread fetishism. “Beer purity law”.
Semi-ironic calls for a kebap price limit

dsilverzPeople playing and hearing songs with looped beats and vulgar lyrics through a bass boosted sound system which costed them several months worth of minimum wage to pay for having it on their cars. They generally drive slowly through streets near beaches in order to exhibit their “fancy sound systems” while all the vulgarity plays repeatedly. I guess it’s unique from this green-and-yellow country where I live.
I could also say wearing flip-flops and bermudas on a daily basis, or one of the highest usage and dependency of Meta’s WhatsApp worldwide, or the country with the most welcome (often too nosy) people. Or, through a more positive lens, the richest land where crops easily grow when you sow something, the highest ecological diversity (especially plants, it’s so common to find exotic plants here), the highest climate diversity (you can travel south to meet snow, then travel north/northeast to meet hot climates, without leaving the same country), etc.
Milk in a plastic jug?
Canada?
That’s milk in a plastic bag tho
That’s also not everywhere in Canada. We don’t have them anywhere in Alberta I’ve seen, and I’ve lived all over this province for my whole life.
Last time it was brought up in Lemmy, someone said it was mostly a British Columbia thing, but I’ve lived in BC for over a decade and never once seen bagged milk.
Yeah I’ve been to Saskatchewan, Ontario, Manitoba, BC, and Quebec multiple times and never seen that shit either. Maybe it’s a Newfie thing.
It’s not immediately obvious in the store, though I can’t say I’ve been looking in the past decade or so. I’m from BC and my parents used to buy it while I was growing up.
It’s in every grocery stores in Quebec as a 3pack (4L total)
Why the French always gotta be different about shit
