Europe Vs. The US: 30 Hilariously Spot-On Tweets

"God bless america!"? by now it should be "God help america"

I have a spoon on my kitchen wall that is dated before the declaration of independence...

Poor, amateurish Canadians, try English measurements; I'm 6'2", weigh 19 stone, i take my milk and beer in pints and any other liquid in litres, my burgers are in lbs and my chicken in kg, I'll slow down from 70mph for the last 300m of the motorway before a junction. Oh, and if I had a horse it would weigh in imperial tons whilst trotting its chains and furlongs. If needed though you can still find things in hogsheads and hundredweight by the bakers dozen!

Groceries in Switzerland? Man, you were bad at math!

Awww...Texans are so cute on their 'Big State' stance. North to south in Western Australia is around 2,222 road miles by the most direct route

I just went across Canada. I drove 20 hours and I was still just in Ontario. My grand made a joke that you could drive to Ukraine from France with those distance. Turns out he was right!!

I'm in California. I left at 5 in the morning and drove north. Got to San Francisco around 11, kept driving. Finally stopped for nap around midnight. I was still in California (Eureka).

Ferry to Switzerland??

"The size of Texas" should become the new banana scale...

Well, well, well...what you can achieve when living close to the border

If they cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the THIRD-biggest state!

OP must have started out from the middle of the state. Brownsville, TX (far south Texas, on the Mexico border) to Texline, TX (in the far north part of Texas on the New Mexico border) is almost 900 miles, or over 13 hours driving time. That's over 1400 kilometers, by the way.

Burst out laughing at the second part because it's true 😂

Ferry to Switzerland? from Germany? Ok.....

You say what now? And a ferry? I live in the Netherlands and for me it is a 5 min ride for Germany, 30 min ride for Belgium, 2 hour ride for Luxemburg, 4 hour for france, 6 hours for Switzerland.

I'm in Ontario. I drove 9hrs west and I'm still in Ontario.

That is a short drive in Texas. It is 11 hours, 41 minutes from El Paso to Texarkana on the absolute fastest route. And that is with no fuel stops.

The first part is correct, but if you're so close to Germany, no, it's not 30 minutes to Italy... BUT it can be a ferry 30 minutes to France and 1 hour drive to Italy if you're living in the Léman Riviera. But not both.

The only thing a ten minute walk will get me is in a corn field or in the woods

I'm American and the European logic just makes more sense

And somehow there's still too much traffic

Dang. That octopus is packin'.

Well ok, but can you get chicken in the left hand one?

The most incredible thing I ever witnessed on the internet happened a few years back. Europe had a particular hot summer, and people were dying left and right, and some Americans commented that the temperatures are not even that high, and that in their state it gets way, WAY hotter. But they forgot that European buildings rarely have AC. So the next year was that year when half of the US turned into an ice cube, water pipes were freezing, heating stopped working and it was all around miserable. In the comments of a news video on YouTube Europeans and Canadians were giving advice on how to survive the cold. (dressing in layers, how to walk and drive on an icy road, how to keep pipes from bursting etc.) The Americans were so incredibly grateful, and admitted that they were making fun of Europeans complaining about the heat the year before. But now they understand what they meant when they were saying that the infrastructure was not made for specific temperatures. It was so wholesome.

Anyone else hearing "staying alive"?

My job in medical office: Patient - I sent you an email this weekend. It's 9am on Monday, Felicia, and I don't do out of hours or weekends, thanks.

At will employment works both ways

don't vs these 2. One is great and the other one makes better sandwiches. different uses

I think this is true in literally every place with elections.

Walmart

Whenever I get a fast food meal here (not very often) I always request the drink 'No ice, please', you get twice the drink.

The border shown is that of the Schengen territory, nothing to do with the borders of the Schengen territory with the outside.

In our defense, we are pretty sure it'll be our fault anyway.

I think someone is confused that there are types of apples.

Is no one gonna mention the giant gaping space under the stall door?

Ooohhh..... I am Danish, I was taught English in school from when I was 10yo, from I was 12 I had German added and when I was 16 I chose to have French for half the school year. In high school I had Latin and at the uni I had Old Norse. For fun I have looked into Arabic, Hungarian, and Italian. I just really love languages and I feel so lucky that I learned so many just by going to school. 🤘🤓🤘

The irony is that that is a Mazda

That's a lot of cars

Not the water thing again. Ask for tap water in restaurants as it's free. Most major train stations and airports now have water stations.

lmao is that eurovision (please say yes i better not be wrong)

The European one, the original, has real orange juice (although not in high percentage), while the North American one has 100% natural flavors, whatever it is.

Ummm, Europe is not a monolith.

Jesus!!!! Again? Come on, this is pathetic! At least find some else wrong!

We have ugly water towers in Europe, too...

I feel the same way about Farenheit as OP does about Celsius. How difficult is it. O° = freezing 100° = boiling
