Could you imagine the teeth of an English methhead?
Don’t the British have better teeth than the US Americans?
I’ve not researched this, but I’ve heard it’s because mouth health is prioritised over aesthetics.
That basically means: no whitening.
Teeth are naturally yellowish
also, dentistry is more accessible in the UK; free treatment is available to a bigger chunk of the population, and private dental care is cheaper as well.
So, in terms of severe complications stemming from lack of dental care, the US is worse, but the obsession with straightening & whitening means that people who have got it together enough to appear in the media generally have superficially nicer teeth.
It’s like most things in America - if you’re doing ok then it’s great, and if you’re not then the rest of the country just pretends you don’t exist.
I’ve heard that myth before, never see any evidence in favor of it, not that I can be arsed to look.
Not a myth and don’t speak as an authority on something you’ve never researched.
I’m so glad England isn’t real.
Oh it’s real and no matter where you live the English have probably pillaged it for spices they never use.
Spices were too expensive for most of the population. Except for the likes of the powdered, wigged gents above.
My ancestors only had beans on toast to look forward to when they got back from working in the mines.
You had beans on toast?! We had to wake up an hour before we went to bed and all we had to eat was cold poison! Times were tough in Yorkshire
You had a bed? Such luxuries, we had to sleep in the turnip fields while they were being ploughed.
you were lucky to have a turnip field, we used to live on the forest floor in a hole in the ground
OTOH there won’t be half as many independence days
Counterpoint: Americans would have a higher average numbers of fingers.
Nah, my ancestors pillaged the fuck out of the English 💪😁
So much so that is the main reason why they have shit teeth.
What? It’s not like our berserker hordes stole their enamel or pushed back the invention of orthodontic surgery…
We took the ones with teeth and left the ones without teeth.
Oh! Right 😁
The UK has free Healthcare and better quality of life so I’m pretty sure their teeth are better than most americans
Logically when you think of it this way that bullshit excuse of a derogatory assumption made by anericans goes out the window
americans lack education about the world outside of america and are so narcissistic and think they’re better than everyone else that they don’t even bother to try and learn about the outside world and when they do learn of the outside world and other countries having better quality of life than them they make up bullshit mental gymnastics and deny reality because they can’t accept that
So no your bullshit derogatory misinformed opinion is simply not true and is just a stereotype because you americans like to bully other countries like the schoolyard bully that likes to pick on others
It’s not that we think we’re better than everyone else it’s that we know we are.
Yeah, let’s see how that works out for the oligarchs in Russia. Don’t stand near any windows dip ass
I’m really enjoying your insights!
Keep them coming please.
Sorry bro, You fucked me dry
Southern cuisine would be salt beef, white bread and Yorkshire tea.
Nah, that would be the northeast AKA New England. Southern Cuisine would probably be French and Mexican/Spanish food, the Louisiana purchase and a few American wars never happening.
Then again who the fuck knows what the colonial powers would have gotten up to without the US zealots taking over? 🤷
I’m black and most British territories didn’t outlaw slavery until the next centruy so no thanks…
Agreed, it wasn’t soon enough, but they did abolish it thirty years before the US fought a war to get it done.
To be blunt, I can’t think of a better reason to go to war than to eliminate slavers and those that would regard an entire race of people as not worthy of respect.
The only other good reason for war is for defense. To protect yourself and your countrymen from a hostile force, but I digress.
That shit should have never been allowed. But here we are.
Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I’d gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy
Tbf some of those former territories aren’t in very good socioeconomic shape. If we’d ended up like Canada that would have been winning the lottery, but plenty of those other former colonies have plenty of problems like classist India.
TBF we didn’t even do that to India; just exploited it. The East India Company turned up and were like “ah, we see you already know how things are supposed to work!”.
Also, Africa.
Africa (and the various tribes and countries) has been fucked over by various European countries for centuries. Can’t lay this one solely on the English.
hey, you broke it, you bought it. Now, maybe they should be doing something to fix this whole problem in the ex-British Mandate of Palestine they cause
UK man arrested for wearing plasticine t shirt
… Maybe not
Canadians are nice, so they are rewarded with a nice country.
Don’t quote me on this but America winning the war played a big part in the spread of democracy around the globe. If they hadn’t, its not clear the monarchy would have ever fallen.
damn he would hard R wouldn’t he
Looks more like the French to me, mate.
They don’t look like that any more. Its top hats and tails everywhere
I wish the British won the revolutionary war
I wish I remembered which episode that Dennis and Mac were dressed like this.
Watched it recently, S04E11

Ok so here’s the thing: If America lost the war, America would likely be akin to Australia. The UK used it’s North American colonies like they did Australia (that is, a place to transport convicts) so you’d basically be like Australia in that regard. You’d likely be like…cold weather Aussies.
Also:
- Australia would be…different? Maybe Dutch?
- We might not have had a French Revolution, or it may have been different, because a lot of the ideas from the American Revolution inspired the French Revolution.
- Since the French Revolution have rise to the idea of the modern nation state and Napoleon, we’d not have a lot of countries.

Sorry, if im smoking crack I strip down to my undies and cover my self in butter. That’s just the way it is.
With the price of butter these days I think I would use rapeseed oil instead. Much cheaper to cover myself in.
As an American, I wish they won.
They outlawed slavery looong before we did.
Because they were ahead on industry and slavery was less profitable. Don’t think England was going around thinking it was wrong.
It was a very popular civil movement and governments were essentially forced to act.
the petition in 1814 got 1,375,000 signatures.
Is this true? Or am I getting woooooshed?
In 1972, 400,000 british people (of 6 million at the time) gave up sugar to boycott slavery. Seventy years later, mill workers of Manchester supported embargo of Confederacy during US civil war by refusing to handle cotton picked by enslaved people. This came at a hefty personal cost as their way of making living depended on it. Abraham Lincoln later acknowledged this show of support. There’s statue of him in Manchester.
The British abolishment movement was so popular that they had more signatures demanding the end of slavery than the total amount of votes in the last election. Later, at it’s peak, something like 25% of the entire British naval budget went towards capturing and freeing slave ships.
