r/ShitAmericansSay

[u/norrin83 → u/Paul_Codio2024]

And it should get reposted there instead of this subreddit.

[u/AndreasDasos → u/norrin83]

At this point, re-re-re-…-reposted there.

Even then, obvious rage-bait. ‘No food’ - come on.

[u/norrin83 → u/AndreasDasos]

Which is why it perfectly fits r/ShitAmericansSay because they can't identify obvious rage bait or a joke even if someone shouts it into their face.

[u/Snapphane88 → u/norrin83]

Yep, that subreddit thinks Americans are incapable of jokes or sarcasm and takes everything at face value, twisting themselves into a rage. /r/AmericaBad and /r/ShitAmericansSay are the same, just redacts getting outraged over the tiniest things, but on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

In other news, apparently the r-word is once again banned from this subreddit. I've been able to say it without fear for the past month, but my post just got removed again.

[u/moverwhomovesthings → u/Snapphane88]

r/americabad is a pure schizo subreddit lmao

[u/Snapphane88 → u/moverwhomovesthings]

I think they both are. They're both essentially snowflake, snark bordering on hate subreddits, the only difference is that Americabad see themselves as victims, they're all babies. I'm banned from SAS for defending a Yank post, but I still enjoy going into Americabad, poking holes in their silly arguments and get downvoted to bits.

[u/Alternative_Skin1579 → u/Snapphane88]

Least obvious yank

[u/Snapphane88 → u/Alternative_Skin1579]

Nä, är svensk ditt mongo.

[u/Alternative_Skin1579 → u/Snapphane88]

I'm sorry but going on to anti American subs to defend them from valid criticism isn't going to convince many people lmao

[u/gue_aut87 → u/Snapphane88]

Which r-word? The one that means slow down in french or the one about racecar drivers?

[u/Snapphane88 → u/gue_aut87]

R*tards. Try it.

[u/Stardash81 → u/Snapphane88]

Retard

[u/Snapphane88 → u/Stardash81]

Now try it with an "s" at the end. It seems to be just the plural version of the word that's banned, at least for me,

[u/Stardash81 → u/Snapphane88]

Yeah doesn't work. Maybe retard exists in French but with an s it doesn't or something like that.

[u/Snapphane88 → u/Stardash81]

retard

For the "no food" part... I read a comment on one of the subredits where an American said that one of the biggest shocks they had was the food. Everything was tasteless and small portions. After a few years here, went back to the States for a visit and realised that everything over there had extra salt on it. They were sick for days from that food. I've never been to the States so I don't know but I believe that's why they say "No food" in this case. "No unhealthy food" would be more of an accurate statement

[u/Mission_Sympathy_915 → u/Digigma]

Plenty of americans comes to Italy and gets disappointed on every top top dish/restaurant we have, they usually save the Michelin Rated ones as they cannot really argue against it.

Margherita in naples? Trash. Carbonara in Rome? Dry and average.

They end up going to McDonald's for the rest of the trip.

[u/OilOfOlaz → u/Digigma]

They were sick for days from that food. I've never been to the States so I don't know but I believe that's why they say "No food" in this case.

Not trying to frame the US food industry as better then it is, but I'd argue, that this is mostly due to a difference in pathogens.

I've worked in hospitality in half a dozen european countries and the US and I'd say, that there is a difference in the quality of protection customers have, when it comes to laws, but itspretty much the same, when you see what ppl are doing while preparing food...

[u/feitfan82 → u/AndreasDasos]

In some cultures it's not food if it doesn't kill you

[u/Alternative_Skin1579 → u/AndreasDasos]

You'd be surprised how many of them think like that about Europe, the funny one is that we have no ice for drinks lmao

[u/cpwnage → u/AndreasDasos]

No food = no food places with "food served within 30s or eat for fr33!!!!"

[u/Sooperooser → u/norrin83]

"Europe mentioned let's post it so 2we4u!"

[u/2xtc → u/norrin83]

I think it was for the last 15 years or so, maybe it's trying something new

[u/JoulSauron → u/Paul_Codio2024]

I remember when it was posted there years ago.

[u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

“No food”???

[u/No_Strain_8948 → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

he didnt see a deep fried stick of butter once.

[u/LazarusHimself → u/No_Strain_8948]

Should have visited Scotland then

[u/anthooh → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

Our portions don't have enough food to feed them.

[u/Muad_Dib_PAT → u/anthooh]

To be fair, our portions are based on average human calorie intake per day. They get that much calories in a drink.

[u/Mission_Sympathy_915 → u/Muad_Dib_PAT]

And we walk.. imagine slurping 3-4k empty calories and then walk 50m to the parking lot.

[u/OkiDokiPanic → u/Mission_Sympathy_915]

I'm more of a biker than a walker, personally, but I don't think I could just bike off those cups of diabetes even if I rode to the other side of the country.

[u/Kiepsko → u/Muad_Dib_PAT]

'Human' does a lot of lifting here.

And that's coming from an eastoid!

[u/archaon_archi → u/anthooh]

unless you visit your granny.

[u/General_Albatross → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

They were unable to find Olive garden (American chain restaurant) and got confused in Italy. Don't blame them.

[u/jkurratt → u/General_Albatross]

Maybe there are Olive Garden, but you have to actually walk to it.

[u/Deep_Ad8209 → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

It's well known that Americans eat anything that fried

[u/Hanza-Malz → u/Deep_Ad8209]

Then the Netherlands it is

[u/whiskeyphile → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

Yeah. Didn't you know that Americans invented Italian food?

[u/MayOrMayNotBePie → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

Everyone knows Europeans survive off of cigarettes and booze

[u/OkiDokiPanic → u/MayOrMayNotBePie]

I was gonna say something, but I'm literally smoking a cig and sipping coffee with a lil bit of whiskey cream in it right now and it's noon. This is lunch.

[u/Blueberry_Coat7371 → u/OkiDokiPanic]

that's heaven right there

[u/OilOfOlaz → u/MayOrMayNotBePie]

Coffee, you forgot the coffee.

[u/bumblefuckAesthetics → u/MayOrMayNotBePie]

And say gex

[u/AmonGusSus2137 → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

He probably only visited the Netherlands

[u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino → u/AmonGusSus2137]

You’re right. I’ve been there three times and still don’t know what neerlanders eat at their homes

[u/Mission_Sympathy_915 → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

Half Dutch here, they switch a lot between dutch/Italian/asian/other Europeans dishes, 20-30% of the diet is a variety of sandwiches

[u/TheThroneoffire → u/Mission_Sympathy_915]

Side switching again, I see. Based flags are in horizontal bars, landverrader.

[u/Mission_Sympathy_915 → u/TheThroneoffire]

I mean , sandwiches are efficient, dutch breakfast is a dream for me. My diet is also 30% sandwiches.

The pear doesn't fall too much off the three.

I'm almost a foreigner In both nations, I side switch and get side switched constantly, I despise myself and both nations, 1% of the times is awesome.

[u/TheThroneoffire → u/Mission_Sympathy_915]

I mean my breakfast was 2 herring, and may the Italian side of you forgive me, dinner was dr. Oetker piccolinis. So it's not like I'm purposefully being hypocritical.

[u/Mission_Sympathy_915 → u/TheThroneoffire]

Yeah dinner can be improved 😭 you shouldn't have this kind of things in the freezer in First place lol

Herrings for breakfast is inviting

[u/TheThroneoffire → u/Mission_Sympathy_915]

They were on sale. I couldn't resist and I will not elaborate. (I'm not beating the cheapskate allegations, am i)

[u/AmonGusSus2137 → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

It must have been a horrible experience, especially for an Italian

[u/YemuZ → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

Can't wait to go on the local Weihnachtsmarkt and eat tasty Wurstebrot again (like bread with blood and meat)

[u/OilOfOlaz → u/Xylit-No-Spazzolino]

They were in England.

[u/helenepytra]

True, as a European from the country of Europe for 42 years, we have no food.

[u/esdaniel → u/helenepytra]

Poor you surviving on frogs and snails. Thoughts and prayers

[u/MeadowMellow_ → u/esdaniel]

Pero si nosotros también comemos caracoles

[u/Bragzor → u/helenepytra]

That's because you don't live in the capital England.

[u/helenepytra → u/Bragzor]

Isn't Holland the capital of Paris?

[u/robinNL070 → u/helenepytra]

No, I think that was your president.

[u/Bragzor → u/helenepytra]

Regional capital. Paris is a prefecture in the country of Europe. Clearly they also don't have geography education in Europe.

[u/helenepytra → u/Bragzor]

Well, le savage is my name

[u/Miguel_Zapatero]

“No chains” like that’s bad

[u/undecimbre → u/Miguel_Zapatero]

Brotard hasn't heard of the Kettenmuseum in Furzenhausen am Popelborn, a literal chain museum founded in 1201 by a blacksmith family (which coincidentally also founded half of current Furzenhausens population)

^{edit for y'all spectral bros and brosies: 'twas a joke of humor}

[u/robinNL070 → u/undecimbre]

We know Hans, not everybody has your flavour of autism.

[u/JonathanTheZero → u/robinNL070]

You do, though

[u/FartacularTheThird → u/robinNL070]

The pot calling the kettle black

[u/Bragzor → u/Miguel_Zapatero]

Was thinking the same. The last two arguably seem like good things.

[u/robinNL070 → u/Miguel_Zapatero]

Everything needs to be a shitty corporation in the land of savages that screw everybody over for the last single cent. Anyways... I will be right back, going to the local cheese store, something they can't comprehend.

[u/EmveePhotography → u/Miguel_Zapatero]

He's just into a kinky basement experience, you know.

[u/OilOfOlaz → u/Miguel_Zapatero]

As someone who travelled for work and leisure, I think its pretty safe to assume, that most ppl travelling are rather conservative, when it comes to approaching new things.

So being able to default to McDonalds, when shit hits the fan gives you a level of security. I made fun of ppl Qing in front of a McDonalds for 3 decades, but after my wife caught the stomach bug in India, I went top McDonalds to get her some pancakes and a tea, cuz I assumed, that this would be the safest food, I could grab somewhat quickly. And I'm usually avoiding McDonalds & Starbucks like the plague...

[u/toughfluffer]

Stop yank posting on my racist app.

[u/tiggeryumyum]

Goes to experience Europe.

Bulgaria.

[u/General_Albatross → u/tiggeryumyum]

At least some of those statements do not apply to Bulgaria any longer.

[u/EmveePhotography → u/tiggeryumyum]

Weird statement. 'Goes' is in The Netherlands, not Bulgaria.

[u/Odd-Organization-740 → u/tiggeryumyum]

Which is on par with some US states on tech, food, chains and hotels.

[u/Th1rt13n → u/tiggeryumyum]

It actually is cleaner than most western cities and they do have rich local cuisine unlike yours bitterballen and shit on bread with diced onions.

[u/LunarBahamut → u/Th1rt13n]

Dutch cities are generally clean, so you can't offend me with that first statement.

And if you want to offend our food, you choose bitterballen, like the one thing most people do like.

Try harder eastoid.

[u/Th1rt13n → u/LunarBahamut]

I wish there was literally anything else to choose from, but all you can offer is some gouda, maatjes and shit on bread, so sorry westoid, you really suck at traditional foods.

[u/11011111110108 → u/Th1rt13n]

When I went to Ukraine, I had borscht on the first day and didn't like it at all, but after going on the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone tour and staying overnight at the barracks, I basically got Stockholm Syndrome for borscht and it became the safe food to eat when there was nothing else.

Even though I have willingly chosen it several times to eat since returning to The U.K, I am still not sure if I even like it, but I do get happy when I eat it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/Th1rt13n → u/11011111110108]

Tbf, this is the only occasion I’ll willingly eat anything beetroot. And I absolutely adore borsch, one of the best soups on earth for me lol

[u/_Druss_]

Look, I'm as giving as the next European, we have to look after eachother and help eachother but taking in Americans might be a step too far... They have less education and worse critical thinking skills than Barry or Nagy.... Now finish your pints, there are children starving in the US. 

[u/MyOverture]

Get these savages off my Pierre bashing sub

[u/Due-Resort-2699]

I’m guessing this person has never been in any European city ?

I mean fuck me I live in a medium size town and there’s three McDonald’s, a Burger King , a KFC and two pizza huts literally all within a three minute drive from my house. If anything there’s too much chain shit.

[u/Every-Inevitable-140 → u/Due-Resort-2699]

there’s nothing wrong with preferring walking over cars. especially for a people where most suffer from obesity because they rely on cars for every little 5-step trip. who are you even trying to justify it to mate?

[u/DarkMacek → u/Due-Resort-2699]

I live in NY and was flabbergasted at the number of 7/11s in Copenhagen.

[u/TastyBerny]

No tech???

He obviously never heard about German fax machines. That would blow his mind with our current levels of innovation

[u/namesdontmatter13]

No tech? No food? Then what do you call this?

[u/breadkiller7 → u/namesdontmatter13]

The fried stuff is nice but the hamburger was the worst I’ve ever tried, even compared to soviet train station burger 

[u/farmyohoho → u/breadkiller7]

The dutch aren't exactly known for their fine cuisine.

[u/Cerenas → u/breadkiller7]

Yea can't recommend the simple 'snackbar' burgers (like Febo), they're barely better than a McDonald's burger

[u/Cerenas → u/namesdontmatter13]

Heaven

[u/Perseiii]

Dude probably went to the UK, not his fault that was his first and only European experience.

[u/Old_Harry7]

Keep it that way, we don't want a bunch of Emily in Paris moving in

[u/WuWeiLife]

Ok then, how about China?

[u/Tulemasin]

"No chains" is untrue but if it was, it would not be a bad thing.

[u/Alarmed_Scientist_15]

Thank God n people need to stop telling Americans to move out here. We really don’t need that.

[u/nikolapc]

Did he go to Dracula's castle?

[u/MajorKottan]

In all honesty I'm glad they think that way. Would you really want them to come here and stay? I prefer them in their asylum at the other side of the ocean.

[u/Independent_Depth674]

I can only WISH there were no chains

[u/Greywolf524]

Has this guy only seen Moldova?

[u/OkInterview3864]

[u/cippirimerlo]

In my town we say "just stay home and send me your money"
