Well it could be worse. You could wake up and actually be in the US.

I assume it's because the life in Europe is better so people don't need to escape their reality as much. You can go out and see a cool castle or ride a train or go check out a new country. And then you can get really, really, really good food that won't give you diarrhea like the food here in the US.
You misunderstand, riding trains increases the amount of shitposting capacity one has.
Wenn der Scheiß Zug kommen würde, könnte ich auch Scheißpfostieren.
What's the difference between the US and Germany?
In Germany the ICE will probably not show up at all to take you away.
non white americans exist and enjoy good food 🤭 I encourage you to try it
Si lo sé, soy uno de esos. Pero igual, si el gobierno no inspecciona las operaciones de los restaurantes, igual te da diarrea. Las veces que he ido a Europa he regresado en mejor condición de estómago.

I am European.
Here's an image I took on Friday:
As an American I have no idea what this bizarre contraption is
this a commie bus to the despair mines
Self driving cars of the world.
That sign has a Z and letters with accent mark over it.
So I think this a picture of communism?

I have a filter on
- Trump
- Musk
- ICE
- Vance
- [Ai] slop
- Microsoft
- Grok
My All Feed is basically empty now or consists of posts with zero or very few comments. I love the filter option, but it has also made it quite clear what is being pushed the most on Lemmy.
Yeah just some of the most important world events going on. Odd how people talk about that stuff.
Sure, but i've just reached a point where I don't want to get bummed out, everytime I open a social media app.
There must be positive things to talk about, and not just the enshittification of everything and the end of the world.
All I ever hear off of here is about every mundane dull thing. Most people don't give a flying fuck about the state of world, it's distressing really. People are dying, rights are being lost, the planet's fucked, genocide is going on but people are more interested in TV shows and other distractions.
I definitely get that! And it is definitely an issue. Personally, I feel like the state of the world is constantly knocking on my door. It's almost claustrophobic. I vote for parties and politicians I believe in, I try to avoid supporting the ones who try to fuck up our world by not using their products or buy them.
But besides that, I not sure what else I can do, and I'm definitely up for suggestions.

Start posting. Please. I am begging you.
- An American tired of wallowing.
It's impossible because Trump keeps doing things it can still be 3:00 in the morning over there and he'll do something. All Europe seems to have is the Germans, and they keep posting in their weird secret language.
As someone that can read German, das ist keine Problem. Es war sehr gut für Deutsch zu lernen. (My German is shit tho)

"USA stuff" is affecting the whole world right now. You are coming to check out an English based social network for non-"USA stuff". What did you expect?

The US is like turning on a morning soap opera. What absurd and dramatic contrivances have they come up with this time that could never happen in real life?
From the other perspective, I love when I'm still up at 2-3 AM and start seeing the ich_iel posts come up.
I love checking Lemmy in the morning, and seeing all the German language Memes. I can't read them, since I don't know German, but I like knowing that they're over there, doing their thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Cuz My country is fucking the world over right now
Our country. We're fucking people unwillingly together!
I'd love to make fun of European politics, there's no shortage of embarrassments.
not my fault my fellow Americans elected king dumbass.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Hang on a second. We didn't elect a king. You don't elect a king. We elected a dictator.
There's a difference.
Kings are born royalty. This jackass got elected. We CHOOSE him. This is OUR fault. Whereas with kings, nobody chooses them. They're just born into that role.
I don't think we did though. Before even one vote was counted he was bragging that the results don't matter because he has all the votes he needs. He literally announced that he'd rigged an election and nobody did anything about it.

My filters disagree with you.
Though I wish I could block everything that has to do with that disgraceful country but, ah well.
Or just a general "no politics" option would be nice.

…and being boring is only one of Europe’s strong points.
Here I am from the Balkans.
But I feel like posting about USA, until it's never relevant again.
