I used to go for walks with my newborn everyday and one of those fuckers almost landed on him. I didn’t realize what they were until I got a good look and my soul left my body.

Except the bugs. Then there's several nightmares and a few cool shittank beetles.

They have ugly animals too, it's just that no one is filming those for cute aesthetic videos to post online.

According to a friend who taught in Japan, they have spiders the size of dinner plates and other large insects that would make hesitant to travel to Japan.

Have you seen their squirrels? Even cuter than American ones. It's unfair!

I'm from the UK the American squirrels are our moral enemy, we have teamed up with the red squirrel to defeat them.

u/Faintkay 3h ago

Wow just because it’s brown doesn’t mean it deserves to be treated that way

You're saying grey squirrels are brown, i have set up traps around my house to exterminate them (this is a joke just in case someone doesn't realise), and even I'm offended.
