Foreigners in America for the World Cup reacting to American stuff for the first time

[loud-ninja]

That did surprise me. Not having any AC in today's world is kinda crazy. Some of them talk like they don't even have the window joints.

I finished the video you posted. Dude said it is seen as too much energy consumption. Also, he said many of their buildings are very old and have historic value. Putting central air or the window units could present a logistics and legal issue.

Oh, I skipped past that dude talking. Sounds like he was dropping pertinent info.

That kinda raises an interesting question about when you stop prioritizing historical value or modern comforts. As the world gets hotter, they are going to have to get past that.

Publix has good subs and fried chicken. Not just for a grocery store, but just in general. Their crab legs used to be off the chain too but I haven't had them in a long time.

I forget exactly where but I do remember reading the bold when someone from Europe was talking about why they don't have a/c units like that. But as many have said coming here in the summer the heat is way different than over there so the need isn't as bad as it would be in the US.

Be clear too.


This footage is CONTENT.

facts

Like 97% is content pushed for Americans, and its working. Their target audience is mostly the people who are MAGA and or cry during the national anthem.

This has been a thing before the world cup. Look on youtube of all the creators with videos of "________ amazed by American ________". Most of them were just videos of them reacting to things about American. Tons of views, mostly from the same demo.

Dont get me wrong, the ones of them amazed by our mega stadiums and other things solely American are real. But them freaking out at BBQ, basic fast food or Waffle house food is all performative for clicks. You mean to tell me people who've had Belgian waffles are amazed by waffle house waffles, like come on.

And i like how that list earlier didnt post how they think tipping culture makes no sense, or why they think our food prices are so high for no reason.

I don't doubt you're wrong, but I absolutely do believe that people are amazed by stores like Costco or food like Texas BBQ. It's absolutely performative like everything on social media, but I do believe the sentiment in a lot of cases. Particularly, stuff from families or creators that don't really have much of a following.

Yea, the big stores, Bass Pro shops, those big guns stores ect., are what i meant by "solely American". But people actin like Europeans are beyond the wall is just goofy. If they can afford to come here with Trumps lame rules and buy cup tickets, that means they've traveled before.

Really hate how all the anti foreigner people are using this to gas themselves. If it wasnt for them and that orange idiot, might even have double the tourists here for the games.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised so many people came. I know the World Cup is big, but America had to be looking like a Mad Max movie to foreigners. I think that's why some of these vids are for people outside of the U.S. They seem to be targeted at people who held certain believes that probably aren't even acknowledge by the MAGA assholes.

also remember to bring this up to far right people. this was true before the world cup too. My European friends would always name liberal cities they wanted to visit along with national parks

 

[konceptjones]

Can't be too shitty if they're swearing its great.

... unless European food is just that terrible.

 

[loud-ninja]

My girl is from the UK. She even says their food is not the greatest.

 

[loud-ninja]

I saw a video of an older British dude who said something like our food has what you call flavor and theirs is sadness.

When you look up their popular dishes, you will see why their food is not really talked about.

I’ve never seen a plate of European food where I thought “damn that look good as fuck!”. People always talk about French and Italian cuisine but that shit be looking nasty as fuck too.

We need to stop letting the world get away with gaslighting us over that mediocre shit.

Naw, French and Italian food is legit. It is talked about as well. I never hear British food get talked about.

Matter of fact, I was in Curaçao which is heavily Dutch and decided to try some Dutch dish. It was some stewed beef bullshit that was nasty as hell. Should have ordered off the kids menu smh.
