It's a bloody deathwatch. It's a country which could either crash and devolve, or get out of its own morass.
Cuz My country is fucking the world over right now
Our country. We're fucking people unwillingly together!
I am European.
Here's an image I took on Friday:
Man, as an American I wish I had that kind of picture to take.
As an American I have no idea what this bizarre contraption is
Self driving cars of the world.
this a commie bus to the despair mines
Come to California, we have a bunch of those. And they all suck.
They're all delayed by some stupidly long freight train blocking all the tracks.
That sign has a Z and letters with accent mark over it.
So I think this a picture of communism?
I'm pretty sure we have those in usa. It has many names, like commuter train.
Make more n people. Or just post more. I just accently posted on a UK thread because it was on my feed so it's not nothing
The US is like turning on a morning soap opera. What absurd and dramatic contrivances have they come up with this time that could never happen in real life?
I mean, America is threatening war with Europe so...
Hey don't blame all of us. It's just that one guy with dementia who paints his skin orange.
Unfortunately, thats a moot point to people who are staring down the barrel of our obscenely large military budget. I dont blame people for not liking us. I didn't vote for agent orange, but he is still representing our country 🤢
It's impossible because Trump keeps doing things it can still be 3:00 in the morning over there and he'll do something. All Europe seems to have is the Germans, and they keep posting in their weird secret language.
As someone that can read German, das ist keine Problem. Es war sehr gut für Deutsch zu lernen. (My German is shit tho)
It is. Aber das macht nichts, man kann dich trotzdem verstehen.
Here I am from the Balkans.
But I feel like posting about USA, until it's never relevant again.
Well then post some articles about whats been going on in tge Balkins, I've got a buddy in Belegrade
Alright then. I have not been following much, ironically. I think America is of course, trying to meddle in our oil refinery deal, after putting sanctions on our refinery (which was partially owned by Russia).
I am secretly very happy about the refinery problems...anyway, it starts work again 23th January.
There were warnings that we would not be able to recieve pay on our credit cards (no transfers) or something like that as well.
Caused me to withdraw all my cash.

Hungarian here, I still couldn't convince my leftist friends in facebook group chats to leave that garbage site... Many of them are even IT professionals.
Unfortunately it became big because it is more convenient than having several separate tools for using the Internet.
I'm American, but I'll try to fill the gaps for a bit.
WHAT is the DEAL with this plentiful health care!? It's like...I'm thrivin' over heeeere!
"What is the deal with..."
Is it just me, or is that a really hack thing to do in standup comedy? lol
Its literarary shorthand for "this comic is bad at their job." No comedians actually say that, unless they're referencing a hack comedian.
Jerry Seinfeld literally was that guy. All those "what's the deal with..." jokes are specifically making fun of Seinfeld. It's not calling out all hacks; just the one specific hack.
They're referencing Jerry Seinfeld. He does that.
Or did, probably before you guys were born lol
Like they said, referencing a hack comedian

Come on - this only happens when Trump's regime does some really dumb shit. Can't be happening that often, can it?
I have a filter on
- Trump
- Musk
- ICE
- Vance
- [Ai] slop
- Microsoft
- Grok
My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.
How do I set that up?
I'm still quite new to Lemmy. I still don't quite get how it all works, haha. I'm using the Thunder app (don't ask me why), and when I go to settings it's the second option I'm presented with. Then you just add keywords for the things you'd like to filter out.
Yeah people have been talking about having less and less activity on Lemmy.
IMO it’s because of the content. The platform works flawlessly but unfortunately lemmy came about during a time that politics is being so pervasive.
It might be a general trend. I’m willing to bet all social media is slowly dying but the for profits inject bots to keep their numbers up.
Yeah just some of the most important world events going on. Odd how people talk about that stuff.

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.

…and being boring is only one of Europe’s strong points.
