“The European Mind Can’t Comprehend”: People Poke At Differences Between The US And Europe (New Pics)
InterviewIf you often engage in aimless scrolling through social media feeds or enjoy a good meme once in a while (who doesn’t?), you might have noticed that Europeans and Americans like to tease each other from time to time. All in good fun, of course, mostly regarding their bewildering cultural differences.
One of the most recent formats through which they poke fun at each other is the ‘European mind can’t comprehend this’ meme. Since its first known sighting in July 2023, it has successfully continued to amuse Americans and confuse Europeans by showcasing something from the US that might leave someone living in Europe in a muddle.
Today we bring you the freshest collection of these memes, from Dr. Pepper-flavored peeps to highways with 26 lanes. All you have to do is scroll down!
While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with Elise from Elly Happy Times, a French blogger who traded her life in Burgundy, France, for one in Washington, DC.

I've actually tried the Twix and Ding Dong ones. There's also a Twinkie version. The Twix one tastes like a REALLY sweet caramel latte
We don't want to comprehend this in Europe or any other part of the world.
My American mind would rather be playing video games and watching YouTube. I have no interest in games I'm not playing.
As a Belgian I can confirm we've been making our own brown sugar bacon (fat) sandwiches at home for ages. Maybe not everywhere in Belgium, but my parents and their parents sure did.
The uk has biscuit flavoured tea, and jaffa cake tea too ( NOT a biscuit) 🤣
JUST MAKE YOUR OWN! The recipe is so simple I learned it at 6yo.
A medieval peasant would refuse this monstrosity, even if s/he were dying of hunger.
I love cheeseburgers but I wouldn't go near those even if you paid me. Those look disgusting.
I feel like Americans can't comprehend the fact that we actually do stuff similar to us
Actually, rush hour and turn about and s****y traffic allows all of us to do it
If you are going to visit both fast food shops - yeah, we can see how you would need the third
Are you kidding? Every third bloody shop in central Edinburgh is a Scotland shop!
Chorizo is European!!! It's originated from Spain! And on that note, in no way that is Chorizo! A decent Chorizo costs way more than 3 dollars! Not to mention the best ones!
Yeah, but, Nutella....is an Italian product. And, that jug clearly says it's for "food service" (meaning it's sold to restaurants)
Pizza? Do they know pizza is European (Italian)?!?! Or the fact that it's squared?! We don't make home made pizza round, in Europe, as the oven trays are square... so we do, we do get it!
Is that guy serious?! So he's thinking only Americans thought about it and have those?! You can find it in every European supermarket and neighborhood store!!!
People in Europe don't watch 2 screens at once? I call baloney on that
Except...those are almost certainly imported from another country
We'll be having a total solar eclipse right where i live in four years time. I hope i can become an American before then, so i can grasp what's going on.
Maybe its just because I'm literal, but I hate this "so-and-so can't comprend" whatever. It sounds so condescending and obnoxious. Different countries and cultures have different ways of doing things.
The only entries on this list that fit the title are the ones which I can't comprehend why they're apparently *proud* of it (the easy accessibility of guns being the biggest one).
Load More Replies...this is too much for me. i think it's the last time i come to BR.(fremch here). God knows i tried hard to 'forgive' these america bashings. but i'm tired now. America did great things, and whatever the s.. they're going through righ now, they deserve better. these posts depicting americans like r******d are just exausting
As someone who lives in America, they absolutely do NOT deserve better.
