“You’re shivering in the shower wrong”
I’m intrigued.

Just take a look at the large communities on Lemmy:

• News: American
• Politics: American
• Memes: American AND political

I could not find any European meme community at all, and if there was one, I have a hunch it would be flooded with things Trump said or Musk said or whatever is new on Netflix. I guess news about the Circular Economy or the microplastics regulation, being rolled out slowly and in phases, though absolutely affecting EUropeans’ everyday lives, are just not quite as entertaining from an existentialist POV.

The Kama Sutra has you covered: Deer, mare, elephant as metaphors for the various sizes of human womens’ genitalia.

Fun fact, the name of the star Algol means “the ghoul.”

NOW you tell me.

“Loose like sleeve of wizard.”

A lot of things are possible with a knife and a lighter.

That is illegal where I live.

Speaking of loud…

AAAAAAAAAH!

(Yeah, that’s Kurt Cobain)

Depends. A lot of people build bubbles and spend the rest of their lives reinforcing their walls. They will deeply interact only with very few hand-picked people, and their mutual trust keeps getting stronger. Also, you might be surprised that a lot of people never even read or watch the news.
From this POV, your faith in what you think represents humanity might as well increase over time.

“Justice is a snake, it only bites the barefooted ones.”

It’s filled with regret.

Boaneur?

Reminder that Jan Zalasiewicz received an Ig Nobel price in 2023 “for explaining why many scientists like to lick rocks.”

On the other hand, Hg is actually safe to lick. It’s a lot more noble than, for example, silver, so acids and bases won’t attack it. Lots of people even have it stored in their teeth, permanently.

Perhaps it’s time to rehash an old Soviet joke, with switched roles:

European: I can walk into the Berlaymont building, I can pound the president’s desk, and I can say: “Mrs. President, I don’t like the way you’re running the EU.”
American: I can do that.
European: You can?
American: Yes. I can go into the White House to the Oval Office, I can pound the desk and say: “Mr. President, I don’t like the way President von der Leyen is running the EU.”
