Transcript

A threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

Edit: swapped image link, RIP lemm.ee

So, yeah, that first person is a dumb-ass, but that second comment doesn't really prove anything. I live in a 400 year-old town in this 250 year-old country,

Yeah, we have bars in the USA that predate the founding of the country as well. White Horse Tavern in Newport, Rhode Island had been operating since 1673.

Jean Lafitte in Exile. Oldest gay bar in the US, formed long before the US existed.
