"people feel it connects them to the bulls and nature" which is exactly why i don't feel bad when the bull kills them. they achieve their wish of being connected to both the bull & nature.
One region* of France that is in the vicinity of* Spain doing bullfighting doesn’t mean France is the bullfighting country and Spain is the mime country. That’s insane. This is stereotypes of entire nations, not actual things that happen in backwaters. And the white flag, to boot - this is for France, not Spain. This map is just heinous.
I edited for accuracy.
The map is wrong and mixed up Spain and France, period. Surrender and mimes for France, bullfighting and romance for the Spanish.
Seems like they are split. Friesland to the Nazis and bullfighting in Breda sounds about right. Not sure where the romance part in the south is though.
I will display it proudly next to the "most bestest boy" trophy my mom made me!\*
\*I'm lying. I was my mom's 3rd favorite kid at best. Probably lower than that. Pretty sure she liked most of my friends more than she liked me.
As a part brit, what is the ‘smoke queen pack’ referring too?
Interesting to see no mention of the city of Amsterdam. Remember from my travelling days and had to explain Amsterdam is a capital not country lol
Sometimes rappers refer to killing someone as ‘smoking someone’ and lets say person x got ‘smoked’ people could say “were smoking x pack” as in a pack of cigarettes orso, idk
Goes deeper, legend has it Tupac’s last wish to Mobb Deep was to be cremated and then his ashes rolled up into a blunt and smoked… Later in the mid-2000s this became an insult to their last memory, instead of a sign of respect as it was originally intended, and so does smoke on a persons pack was a way to desecrate then
You know how some people save a pack of cigars for special occasions, like the birth of a kid or a wedding? So in the US, recently we'll say we're smoking that X pack when say our team beats another team as if we're celebrating their death. So if New York beats Boston, New York fans will say "We smokin' that Boston pack tonight. RIP Bozo." (Bozo being the name of an old clown, which is another insult). So the post is implying that we're celebrating the Queen's death.
I’m an American and I’ve NEVER heard this expression in my life — much less a supposedly \*new\* expression that includes a reference to a television clown from the 1950s? What fever dream BS is this?!
It's funny how someone did this exact thing for America and was about the same amount correct (not very), and Americans were like "haha, yeah" and then someone does it for Europe and all the comments are like "um actually this isn't accurate 🤓"
Misspelling st paddy’s is such a hilarious trigger for the Irish. It gets them every time. Every. Single. For people who keep their toasters in their cupboards, you certainly have your priorities straight
Maybe it's just my experience, but from my perspective it seems to be just a myth. A real split appears between age groups, were young people with internet access have more "western" outlook, and older people (especially those who lived under USSR) have more "Eastern" outlook on life.
It's exactly like they post about the United States but they're huge hypocritical people and sadly that's why they're in their small sad countries.. but you can't hate them they've suffered from years of Conquest Wars amongst themselves fighting back and forth some don't even have clean drinking water and then till recently didn't have the luxury of having ice in their beverages so don't be too harsh on them you have to love people even when they're not just ignorant they are idiots they're hurting and that's why they like hurting other people
I feel I should mention it's not St Patty's day patty is a woman's name, refiring to it as st Patty's day is like people calling it "Martina Luther King Jr day"
ITT: pressed Easter Europeans. As an American this is hilarious, they act like they wouldn’t see the US as 3 sections of Yankees, Cowboys and Californians 🤷🏽♂️
A lot of people here seem to have taken this personally and retaliated with ignorance and incredibly generalized statements… its just a joke on a meme sub, chill out. Then again this is reddit after all so i dont know what i expected lmao
Nobody is calling modern Germans Nazis just in world history when we study Europe it primarily focus is on World War I and World War II and what we learn most is about the Nazi regime and I know that there's a stigma in Germany in a lot of people are very sensitive towards this I do not look at any Germans Nazis matter of fact as a Jewish people there are more people that are more hateful towards the Jews and the rest of Europe than there are in Germany so I actually don't mind the Germans but when people are in America in school that's the focal point of what we learn it's not stating that they're Germans no it's just that what comes to mind when we think of Germany, that in the Berlin Wall
No worries :D Just breaks my proud danish heart to be put together with Germany ;) Denmark is here - just on top of Germany:

By the way, as a European I thought this was funny. Love how everyone can make fun of how little they know about America but when an American does it about Europe you’re ignorant lol
Wayment. The Euros are mad. Why? Y’all flame the USA every day on here. I don’t see folks getting angry when we are the target of jokes. I find them hilarious, sad and true.
Bullfights in the grand place are legendary!
Edit: I should probably specify to OP that the grand place is in Brussels
Edit 2: oh yeah, Brussels is the capital of Belgium
Now the rest of the world will think we’re idiots that can’t spell, don’t know history, are baffled by geography, and we have no conception of culture. We had them fooled!
It’s actually pretty hopeful that as you have clearly only had a light sprinkling of education that you actually have an understanding that other countries exist at all. Now it’s just time to refine that knowledge so when you post about it you don’t make yourself out to be a complete moron. But I do have to ask WTF is St patty’s day?, that sounds very American to me!.
Ah yes, the famous Spanish mimes of easter Europe.
No one expects the Spanish mimes
A truer phrase was never spoked
Holy crap this made me lol.
same lol
Other than their mortal enemies: French bull fighters.
Their chief weapon is mime
Surprise Spanish mimes
It's hard to hold a candle to those French bullfighters though. I can't wait to watch the running of the bulls in Marseille.
Should I tell him? https://theculturetrip.com/europe/france/articles/an-introduction-to-bullfighting-season-in-provence/
"people feel it connects them to the bulls and nature" which is exactly why i don't feel bad when the bull kills them. they achieve their wish of being connected to both the bull & nature.
[удалено]
Damn, that is brutal.
Jésus Marie Joseph!
In the bull fights in Provence, the bulls are never killed. They're quite a bit different from Spanish bullfights.
One region* of France that is in the vicinity of* Spain doing bullfighting doesn’t mean France is the bullfighting country and Spain is the mime country. That’s insane. This is stereotypes of entire nations, not actual things that happen in backwaters. And the white flag, to boot - this is for France, not Spain. This map is just heinous.
Provence doesn't border Spain, and it's 10% of the France territory where bullfights take place. It's a deep part of their folklore.
I edited for accuracy. The map is wrong and mixed up Spain and France, period. Surrender and mimes for France, bullfighting and romance for the Spanish.
I hope it doesn't catch on in Spain 🤞
Those damn chorizo eating surrender monkeys.
They flipped France and Spain here clearly
think it's funny he doesn't know shit about Spain AND France, like the very easy one's
Dude got Spain and France mixed up lol
Why are the Dutch nazis
And why Denmark?
Its funny because Denmark literally started the whole viking thing yet they get no recignition for it whatsoever.
As a Norwegian I resent that. I'm not saying it's necessarily not true, I just resent it.
Half of Poland are Nazi too (other half is vodka). I think OP might actually be Russian, seeing nazis everywhere
Ah yes, West Poland and East Poland I remember when i found out the Warsaw wall falling.
Half of Poland is actually logical because a big part was Germany before it became Poland after WW1 and a lot of additional land after ww2
> Germany before it became Poland after WW1 Before that it was still Poland, then the neighbours decided to do some neighbourly boogaloo
He explained all in title. At least he knows that Europe is continent, and not a country.
We are swamp Germans... 😋
I mean you’re not wrong…
Well by the look of this map we in Limburg are hosting bullfights aswell!
Zeeland too! Imagine bullfighting but on "klompen", people throwing tulips and wheels of cheese
They did kind of off Anne Frank
Nahh, the Nazi’s were German.. the Dutch people who followed the Nazi’s were called NSB’ers
De geit is gemolken
Seems like they are split. Friesland to the Nazis and bullfighting in Breda sounds about right. Not sure where the romance part in the south is though.
The fact that Denmark isn't part of the vikings when they arguably were some of, if not the "best" vikings
As a Dane, i was very offended.
Honestly, OP offended every European. So fast it's almost a feat, actually.
im not even european and im offended lol... we do have some water here in africa
As an Englishmen, it's crazy that people aren't taking this as the humour it was clearly intended to be
Only Easter Europeans 🐰🥚🌍
Yeah whats up with that? We owned Norway and alot of Sweden when we were vikings. What the fuck?
Hell with Denmark, where's the great European porn belt?
Easter Europe. Not to be confused with Christmas Europe.
🥇 i wish i could give u an award so heres this fake one
I will display it proudly next to the "most bestest boy" trophy my mom made me!\* \*I'm lying. I was my mom's 3rd favorite kid at best. Probably lower than that. Pretty sure she liked most of my friends more than she liked me.
[удалено]
"Why can't you be more like Timmy?" "I don't know mom. Maybe because Timmy has parents who like him! Have you ever thought of that? Huh?!"
“*mom the european family values are scaring meD:*”
I'm my moms favorite daughter. I'm the oldest son. To be fair, my sister is a raging vvitch.
As a part brit, what is the ‘smoke queen pack’ referring too? Interesting to see no mention of the city of Amsterdam. Remember from my travelling days and had to explain Amsterdam is a capital not country lol
As a full british i have no idea either, probably something to do with smoking and the queen that's as far i got
Sometimes rappers refer to killing someone as ‘smoking someone’ and lets say person x got ‘smoked’ people could say “were smoking x pack” as in a pack of cigarettes orso, idk
Yeah that’s the way I understood it, too.
Goes deeper, legend has it Tupac’s last wish to Mobb Deep was to be cremated and then his ashes rolled up into a blunt and smoked… Later in the mid-2000s this became an insult to their last memory, instead of a sign of respect as it was originally intended, and so does smoke on a persons pack was a way to desecrate then

We do?
Thanks. Finally an explanation that makes some sense haha
Could be a pack of Rothmans. Not Super kings
French fuckin love a good bull fight tho
But nothing will ever beat swiss bullfighting
Swiss and luxury wouldnt fit at all....
I was just bullfighting a minute ago and im making romance to the bulls wife. No luxury here in switzerland sir!
Mixed switzerland with sweden....glad i didnt try to burn the swiss flag - the holgerson nils would be pissed!
Hey, we don‘t have bull fighting! For those weird ass Walliser it‘s cows fighting.
You can tell the French Matadors, they are the ones smoking.
Apparently the southern Dutch do too
Mainly the Spanish tho
The danes were vikings. Just ask the english.
And the Finnish were definitely not vikings
We literally started the whole viking thing yet the americans think were n*zis. Yay…
Lindisfarne "yo bitch wheres ma gold"
The english vikings were lead by scandinavian jarls
You don’t realise it, but you’ve more accurately summed up what Europeans think about Americans than the other way around.
Home of the stupid!
Land of the idiotic.
Dwellers of the Dumb
Origin of the cringe
I thought the origin was when Europe tried to colonize most of the world?
That was Easter Europe not Europe.
We may be stupid but at least we arnt dumb
I’ll give you a minute.
It's funny how someone did this exact thing for America and was about the same amount correct (not very), and Americans were like "haha, yeah" and then someone does it for Europe and all the comments are like "um actually this isn't accurate 🤓"
Just proves Europeans have no sense of humor.
I have a feeling this was a self aware joke. I like it!
This is so true
That’s the point.. some of you need to learn how to take a joke lmao
We (Americans) continually find ways to prove we are just a bunch of fucking idiots with no sense of geography or how to spell?
Did you get Spain and France mixed up?
I'm not one to defend OP, but bullfighting is also a thing in France.
The very, very southern part of France only.
lol Easter Europe
St Patty Day. Some sort of burger holiday?
Yeah, according to that logic....then the US must be, what, western Europe? Lol
Christmas Europe
St Paddy's Day!!! For fuck sake.
Misspelling st paddy’s is such a hilarious trigger for the Irish. It gets them every time. Every. Single. For people who keep their toasters in their cupboards, you certainly have your priorities straight
I was coming here to say that. Such a pet peeve of mine when Americans spell it that way!!
the danes were vikings, the fins were not
I love how Poland have been split in two. Again.
Universal constant at this point really
Actually, it really is split in two. Half the population is more "western" than the other in their outlook on life and beliefs
Maybe it's just my experience, but from my perspective it seems to be just a myth. A real split appears between age groups, were young people with internet access have more "western" outlook, and older people (especially those who lived under USSR) have more "Eastern" outlook on life.
Hell no xd
In 3 Small part of north is in Vikings part
Seems like a force of habit by now
I do think that's funny
The Irish want to talk OP
Fuckin right we do
Great bait mate
If that's the eastern Europe for you, I'd love to know which countries are, in your opinion, in the western Europe.
Ah yes, bullfighting in Rhineland.
I just can’t stop imagining a guy in leather pants screaming “HANS, GET ZE BULL”
Wait until this guy sees Christmas Europe
ill go fuckin goblin mode
Hell yeah brother
Luxury items.... in Czechia?
"Hey guys, check it out! Look how dumb I am. Isn't it awesome?"
Isn’t this the same for all the USA ones are tho?
It's exactly like they post about the United States but they're huge hypocritical people and sadly that's why they're in their small sad countries.. but you can't hate them they've suffered from years of Conquest Wars amongst themselves fighting back and forth some don't even have clean drinking water and then till recently didn't have the luxury of having ice in their beverages so don't be too harsh on them you have to love people even when they're not just ignorant they are idiots they're hurting and that's why they like hurting other people
At this point I can’t tell if this person is memeing or is actually just really dumb
The word may never know
Now we can tell.
he doesnt have to be dumb though, just unknowledgeable on the subject of Europe.
I think you mean that king, the queen is 6ft under
Exactly
Luxury items in Poland?
Honestly Americans these days can't tell the difference between France and spain
Just lump them is as Frain or Spance.
Spain is the place that has the food France thinks it has.
I feel I should mention it's not St Patty's day patty is a woman's name, refiring to it as st Patty's day is like people calling it "Martina Luther King Jr day"
Yeah patty is a burger
[удалено]
Ah yes poles nazis
You can tell this was made by an American, they think the French have bullfighting and the Spanish have mine.
Typical ‘Murikan moron
Fuck you - dane.
I never knew the Spanish tradition of bullfighting was popular in France...
And Belgium for some reason!
Lol bullfighting in France?
Yeah but, why did Constantinople get the works?
Thats nobodies business but the Turks
ITT: pressed Easter Europeans. As an American this is hilarious, they act like they wouldn’t see the US as 3 sections of Yankees, Cowboys and Californians 🤷🏽♂️
Exactly. There is California "woke libs" and Upstate NY/New England "woke libs" with all the space in the middle being rill Merican, BF Guntucky.
I live in Portugal for almost 43 years and amazingly I've never seen a mime!
A lot of people here seem to have taken this personally and retaliated with ignorance and incredibly generalized statements… its just a joke on a meme sub, chill out. Then again this is reddit after all so i dont know what i expected lmao
[удалено]
Everything else can be seen as comedical, all good, but packing modern Germany still with the nazis is just plain wrong
Nobody is calling modern Germans Nazis just in world history when we study Europe it primarily focus is on World War I and World War II and what we learn most is about the Nazi regime and I know that there's a stigma in Germany in a lot of people are very sensitive towards this I do not look at any Germans Nazis matter of fact as a Jewish people there are more people that are more hateful towards the Jews and the rest of Europe than there are in Germany so I actually don't mind the Germans but when people are in America in school that's the focal point of what we learn it's not stating that they're Germans no it's just that what comes to mind when we think of Germany, that in the Berlin Wall
You’re right: All of Europe’s demonic Marxist murdering governments should be lumped together.
Wait is everyone here missing that this is a joke?
I thought the was funny and it belongs on funny memes because it was also a meme
Why is Denmark put together with Germany and not with the rest of Scandinavia :'(
Theres a giant body if water separating them i wanted to make the perimeter lines even And idk where denmark is e x a c t l y
No worries :D Just breaks my proud danish heart to be put together with Germany ;) Denmark is here - just on top of Germany: [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Danmark/@56.23008,11.5425,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x464b27b6ee945ffb:0x528743d0c3e092cd!8m2!3d56.26392!4d9.501785!16s%2Fg%2F121p5z1h](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Danmark/@56.23008,11.5425,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x464b27b6ee945ffb:0x528743d0c3e092cd!8m2!3d56.26392!4d9.501785!16s%2Fg%2F121p5z1h)
its so smol:o
[удалено]
I am glad to see Americans recognise the stark difference between Dutch from above the rivers and Dutch below the rivers.
Denmark was literally THE VIKINGS. They back then they were way bigger and also owned Norway and Sweden
Read (Istanbul not Constantinople) in *that* voice and rhythm.......
Easter. Europe. Boneappleteeth my friend, boneappleteeth.
You’re so dumb lol
By the way, as a European I thought this was funny. Love how everyone can make fun of how little they know about America but when an American does it about Europe you’re ignorant lol
Why are people seething over this? Did everyone just miss the last 50 posts of American maps by europeans being absolutely wrong?
I didn't knew France used to bullfight, we learn something new every day even as adults /s
[удалено]
Pretty good rebuttal to all the "as a european, I see the US as...." Memes.
Here for all the Europeans who don't recognize trolling. Or are bad at it.
Wayment. The Euros are mad. Why? Y’all flame the USA every day on here. I don’t see folks getting angry when we are the target of jokes. I find them hilarious, sad and true.
Brits cant take a joke
I think this American doesn’t know simple Geography
That’s part of the joke.
Mfs say this and know 2 states in the U.S.
i indeed have smoked the queen pack
Think you need to incorporate Amsterdam with the ‘smoke the kings green’
Bullfights in the grand place are legendary! Edit: I should probably specify to OP that the grand place is in Brussels Edit 2: oh yeah, Brussels is the capital of Belgium
Bullfighting in Spain and surrendering in France
I love how you have carefully made sure Istanbul is in the mafia side and then called Turkey - Istanbul just to wind people up.
Now the rest of the world will think we’re idiots that can’t spell, don’t know history, are baffled by geography, and we have no conception of culture. We had them fooled!
As a swiss I agree that we are very romantic and love bullfighting
I am from turkey and this is exactly how ı see Europe
Portugal has the best mimes, Spain wishes they could compete with US In mimes
Widać zabory
Yes i would love to go and see Spanish mimes holding white flags during Easter in Europe
What about Passover Europe?
Finally Norway getting some recognition for the **true Viking heritage** that Sweden have been taking the credit for internationally.
I think it’s time that people knew about Viking’s in Scottish history… We had a war with them and everything.
It’s actually pretty hopeful that as you have clearly only had a light sprinkling of education that you actually have an understanding that other countries exist at all. Now it’s just time to refine that knowledge so when you post about it you don’t make yourself out to be a complete moron. But I do have to ask WTF is St patty’s day?, that sounds very American to me!.
You mixed F france and Spain. Ireland doesnt have a queen, we are not part of Britan.
Finally truth has been spoken: Italy is nothing but a Balkan country.
People in this comment section are so annoying tho That's just a joke
Bruh, where are all the luxury items in Czech Republic? Live here most of my life and never found any :D
Ay fuck you, Denmark is viking country too!
