Rare insults

I mean for one this is by design, so that they don't know how fucked our country is, but also our country is the size of several European countries so it's not exactly apples to apples. Even state to state you can have wildly different traditions, house styles, etc.

I like accents. There’s a nugget of truth to that though. Accent variation in the UK is greater than across the whole of the US. You can drive the length of Britain in America and still hear less variation than you’d get in just 15 miles across parts of the UK, thanks to its highly localized linguistic evolution over centuries. Interestingly, some American accents are actually closer to 17th century English than many found in the UK today, and (comparatively) lack strong markers like rhotic dropping, vowel shifts, or intonation patterns that give it a ‘vanilla’ vibe.

Interestingly, English does have a "reference" accent. "Queens English".

Back in the days of the British empire, the aristocracy had a serious problem. When they traveled, the local population were difficult to understand, they all had accents. To solve this, the hired help were taught not just English but a clear "accentless" English. This meant the rich could go anywhere in the empire and not have to decode the local's butchering of English.

While it's used a lot less now, it was only a few decades back that the BBC stopped requiring it for news broadcasts. It's the "classic" British accent you see on TV shows.

the fact that old sockets can't handle the weight of a plug means the design was brain-dead from the beginning

We could just flip our outlet upside down and be sort of safer, but we don't because the little face 😮

Surely there's a joke about drinking on it to celebrate, like the Scots do on the 5th and 6th of July as well

I had English people ask Irish people why they don't celebrate the 5th of November. These people are everywhere.

i know you meant live metal. But I love the concept of love metal. There's a spark between us

UK plugs are the best and can double up as non destructive landmines.

Electrocute means to be killed by electric shock. Unless you're being reincarnated again and again I think you mean to say that you've managed to shock yourself regularly.

Huh? I'm seeing those videos from the Tetris Gods and I see pieces falling down at a speed that my brain can't even understand, this technique maybe is used by "entry level" Tetris professional players?

Nah, we get it from the water now. And if you drink too much of the water as a kid, sometimes from snacking on old paint.

The frequency is always Kenneth.

I rotated the square in Tetris and then suddenly the bricks became hyper-realistic with hyper-realistic blood and then they jumped out of my TV and I hyper-realistically died! The end.
