We’d previously made candied liqueur apricots for which I learned to dry them. I also leaned a lot about de-feathering and breaking down chicken which was softly traumatizing. I’ve been able to put so many of my childhood lessons to use living primarily off/grid with a farm and orchard. I don’t know anyone else from my generation (X) or younger who grew up learning what many people now see as part of homesteading.
That's fantastic! I learned a little when I was growing up but not much, because my mum didn't have time to teach me. I am now catching up, learning some myself from books and online, but also my mum is basically retired and living on a property in the country now so I have had her tuition too. My grandpa never made me de-feather and breakdown a chicken, but he told me about it many times and I always said I was glad not to need to!
Load More Replies...It is, usually. It is one of the free-to-choose, of which one has to take two or three. BUT: This is something parents need to teach. Tigether with doing the laundry, keeping a house clean, doing taxes, how to interact politely, how to manage frustration and many more. It can be shown while doing it, older generations know it as "chores you have to do because you are a member of this household". Why do so many people expect school to take care of everything? You are parents, educate your kids!
Nah, if you're able to grow your own food and can it, you'll buy à lot less junk in the supermarkets. Big Money doesn't want that, so no more teaching kids how to preserve food.
With 536K followers, ‘Babushka’ on Facebook represents a figure most Eastern Europeans know well: the ever-present, powerful grandma—because in this part of the world, when grandma speaks, everyone listens.
But don’t be fooled; this page isn’t just about grandmas. It’s full of relatable memes that perfectly capture what it’s like to live and grow up in Eastern Europe (and yes, that includes Babushka insisting you eat more, no matter how full you are).
I call BS: "Romania's internet infrastructure is highly developed and competitive, boasting the top connection speed in the region, while also coming in 14th out of 182 countries by average fixed broadband speed, with 123.31 Mbps in August 2022, twice faster than the global 69.14 Mbps average"...

On the surface, memes are just funny pictures that entertain us as we scroll through our feeds. And for the most part, that’s what they’re intended to do, but they’re also much more than that.
Memes can convey complex ideas and emotions, especially when they resonate with a specific group. This is particularly true for Eastern European memes, which bring people together through unique experiences and cultural references.
“Niche memes are not meant to go viral,” says Idil Galip, a lecturer in new media and digital culture at the University of Amsterdam and founder of the Meme Studies Research Network. “They’re meant usually to create things like in-group belonging, something that kind of strengthens a sense of identity.”
Lol Fresh off a 2hr phone call with mum.about me not seeing my grandma enough.
Load More Replies...One of my biggest regrets is that my grandma died while I was in prison. My behavior stole her last years together from both of us. Even before I was arrested, I was so selfish of my time. It would have cost nothing to go see her. I miss her every single day, and I desperately wish I could go back and change things.
I wasn’t in prison, but I was too busy drinking… I know how you feel as much as I can.

Paolo Gerbaudo, a reader in digital politics and director of the Centre for Digital Culture at Kings College London, says that memes are “one of the clearest manifestations of the fact there is such a thing as digital culture.” He describes them as a “sort of a ready-made language with many kinds of stereotypes, symbols, situations. A palette that people can use, much like emojis, in a way, to convey a certain content.”
When it comes to belonging to a meme-subculture—relating to a very specific community—Gerbaudo explains that if you’re looking at a meme and “you get through the kind of enigma or mystery around that at face value,” you are likely part of the group it’s aimed at. “You understand [the] language, you understand the assumptions of the group,” he says.
If this is funny or not depends entirely on the context. In the Netherlands, some people made it a hobby of attacking ambulance people and fire fighters, - and the police trying to protect them. In the vast majority of European countries, being a member of the police requires two to three years of training and studying, with exams.

An overnight stay at my inlaws' home was quite the unforgettable stay because of the numerous Grandfather clocks! Florida, USA
My inlaws owned an antique clock shop. Their retirement investment was all in clocks. When my FIL died a few years ago, my MIL sold of a bunch of them and is living off of that money now. They had hundreds of them. Now we have about a dozen or so in our house, as do my wife's siblings. Staying there overnight was indeed an experience like this. They actually timed them so that they'd go off at different times so you could experience the different chimes throughout the day.
Not a clock but, waking up before dawn to wash every dish in the house as loudly as possible. There wasn't any dirty dishes...
That's what it was like at my best friend's house! Even worse when we were sleeping in their lounge instead of her bedroom. Her dad collected clocks and some chimed on the hour, half hour, or quarter hour as well! Plus they always left the air con on overnight and I was too shy to ask for it to be turned off so both the clocks and cold kept me awake.
Yep, still have one of them doing its muthaf***ing tick-tocks in the kitchen
Knew someone who collected antique clocks. Hundreds of the damn things in every room. I lasted an hour and never went back.
mine had a cuckoo clock. f*****g thing made me jump so many times as a kid xD
I would look in the thiefs wallet, that's the only place it would be found in my house.
Lol. That gave me a vision of the "victim" brightening up at the prospect of cash when seeing the burglar.

If there’s an interest or topic out there—whether it’s the Olympics or anime—chances are it has a dedicated corner on the internet. In fact, the more serious or difficult a subject is to discuss, the more likely it is to be turned into a meme, as memes offer a universal way to express what’s often hard to explain. For example, one study found that people with depression find memes about their condition funnier because they articulate feelings that are otherwise hard to vocalize.

I remember doing that when I was younger, we had an Opel station wagon, and I would be in the back holding the calf down when were taking it home after we bought it.
Back when I was a kid, a cow would occasionally drop a calf in the dead of winter. In order to keep the calf from freezing to death we would load it up in the farm truck and haul it back to the ranch house. In the kitchen my mom would go at it with a pair of hair dryers. Once the calf was up and around again, we loaded it back up and dropped it at the afterbirth pile. The momma would usually take it back otherwise the calf was a goner.
Load More Replies...My husband's last team boss (who lasted a year in his job) used the company car to transport his girlfriend's goats. In the trunk. We are in Germany. It's forbidden. It's a company car. It's a big, well established company. This man was nuts.
Memes can also be a powerful tool in political or social movements. When the #MeToo movement gained traction in 2017 to expose sexual harassment against women, state censorship in China blocked hashtags related to the campaign. In response, internet users found a creative way to keep the conversation alive. This led to the creation of the “rice bunny” in 2018—a collection of images and emojis that might seem unrelated until you realize how it’s pronounced: “mi tu.” Through this clever workaround, Chinese women were able to share their stories and continue raising awareness.

That couldn't be a hospital in my country. There's no overflow patients on trolleys.
Hospital in the US: well-maintained but turns away everyone who can't pay and/or sends you into ridiculous medical debt if you don't have great insurance.
Using memes as a form of digital activism has become a vital way for people under oppressive regimes to express themselves, especially where open criticism of the establishment is not tolerated in mainstream media.
For instance, one study found that satirical memes on Moroccan Facebook pages, which were labeled as “just for fun” or “entertainment,” actually sparked subversive political discussions about the monarchy and encouraged people to get involved in politics.
Most of us never had much in our Eastern European homes, so anything of value (and especially home appliances) is decorated, treasured, and protected in every way possible. You know how there are people who never remove screen protection film from TVs and such? That's the mindset, applied on a greater scale and with frills.

While memes are often used to resist political oppression, they are also leveraged by those in power to maintain control and influence public opinion. “[Memes] unsettle power balances and allow normal people to express their voice, to express their anxieties,” says Limor Shifman, a professor of communication at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. “On the other hand… memes could also be forces of governments, they’re now used by powerful corporations, they’re also used by extremists of all kinds.”
Oh no! The mildly rude word wasn't fully censored! I must now go bleach my eyeballs. [EDIT] They have now uncensored it.

Load More Replies...But memes can also have a darker side, spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories that can impact the real world, as we saw during the Covid-19 pandemic. Rather than presenting complex ideas, memes often reduce conspiracies into small, bite-sized pieces of information that are easy to share and can shape the views of impressionable audiences.
“If you’re a vulnerable person, and you find someone or a group of people who share your views, you immediately feel a sense of belonging, and that kind of adds strength to your beliefs,” explains forensic psychiatrist Reena Panchal.

Load More Replies...Ultimately, whether memes have a positive or negative impact depends on how we use them. “Memes are neutral communication tools,” says Galip. “Their meaning is shaped by what you intend to express through them.” What’s clear is that these small images carry more significance than we might think, even when they’re just simple, funny jokes. So, enjoy them, but stay aware of what you’re engaging with online.
Maybe if they're trying watered down brands like the popular Bud or Coors or Miller but give them some homegrown IPA by a Craft Select and they may rethink this
Shame on you, you don´t know Bud is originally Czech Budweiser beer, dirtied by amateurs.
Load More Replies...American beers have nothing in common with original (Czech) beers - Bud(weiser) - it isn´t beer, it doesn´t taste like beer, I admire cheeky Bud, who had the audacity to sue trademark. You must come to Czechia or Germany, eventually Belgium, to taste beer.

Back when Catholics couldn't eat meat on Friday, a Protestant man moved into a Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday night, he'd grill himself a steak. After awhile, his neighbors couldn't take it anymore. They started taking him to Mass (Catholic church service) and the man ended up deciding to convert. When he was baptized, the priest sprinkled water on his head, and said, "You were born a Protestant, you were raised a Protestant, and now you're a Catholic." All of the man's neighbors were at his baptism, and they were very relieved the steak issue was resolved. Until next Friday, when everyone was having tuna casserole or cheese sandwiches, and they smelled the grilling steak. They all dropped their own meals to rush over and remind the man that he wasn't allowed to do that anymore. They all arrived just in time to see the man sprinkle water on the steak and say, "You were born a steer. You were raised a steer, and now you're a fish."
An Irish man who was Protestant marys a Catholic girl, and converts. After a few weeks he goes to the priest and says that he is having trouble adjusting to some of the new ways. Brie says it's very simple my son, just keep repeating "I'm a Catholic, not a Protestant," and it'll sink any eventually. The following Friday night he was walking by the man's house and he smelled the smell of meat cooking, so he walked up the kitchen window and peeked in. He saw the man standing there over a frying pan saying "your fish, not a steak. You're a fish, not a steak."
No doctor in their right mind would advise someone to eat more fish. The mercury is bad for your brain.

I still wipe our bathroom floor like that weekly, it’s not big and by the time I would bring the mop upstairs it’s done and dried. Kitchen mostly mop though, I only do the scrub on knees once a while, mop won’t clean the grout properly and it builds up.

I did this in university during the winter. Just put a coat or hoodie over PJs and get on with my day as long as it doesn’t involve staying in a heated room for long. Pretty much all my friends did the same with one friend who didn’t even try to hide her pink frilly PJs most of the time.

Load More Replies...It isn't something you get in UK butchers anymore but I used to buy joints of fat ham, which was basically a chunk of pure white fat. Roasted and sliced, eaten hot slathered in lots of strong piccalilli or English mustard, it melted in the mouth. Also tripe, cooked in milk with salt, pepper and onions and served with buttery mashed potatoes and the cooking liquid thickened with cornflour and more butter as a sauce. Oh, and chitlins (cooked pigs intestines) with vinegar and salt.
I have been known to snack on the drippings from my airfryer. Delicious when they're super crispy.
In Denmark we put porkfat under picled herring and serve it on rye bread.

IDK. Americans and Brits are keen on ridiculing their own people about their local accents and colloquialisms. Do you realize, if we had maintained a universal language as we evolved as a species, we wouldn't have suffered so many wars. Lack of communication has always been our downfall.

Eastern Europeans can be intimidating, but they can also be great fun to be around, and teach you stuff. I have several Polish, Russian and Latvian friends. And one Turkish guy, but I'm not sure if that counts as Eastern Europe.
Depends on which part of Turkey. European part (except Istanbul) is mostly inhabited by Pomaks. Pomak as a language is very similar to Bulgarian and they are (us) basically Slavic muslims fled from genocide and massacre during the Ottoman contraction.

In response to the question: Do you think these stereotypes genuinely represent Eastern European culture? I think it covers more than just the Eastern Europeans; probably stuff that we just accept because it's the way our ancestors did it and we grew up with it/them being passed down for generations.
