This meme is not that good, but can we take a moment to discuss how USA has taken America as it's name? Being from the continent is weird, one country has gaslighted the rest of the world into thinking they are the owner of America's name.

Imagine South Africa calling themselves just Africa and everyone just agrees, wtf?

The one that bothers me is calling the natives Indians.

[–] r0ertel@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I think they prefer to be called Native United States of Americans.

(This is a bad joke, playing on the original topic, don't hate me)

[–] Phantaminum@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Always has felt totally wrong. They have their own name, our ancestors forced another.

Yes! It's so annoying! Saying "USians" sounds weird, but it's the USians own fault for having a stupidly named country on stolen land.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Call them Union Members, it’s what their founding fathers called them

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I think amerikkkians works well.

Not saying it isn't somewhat strange, but the continent is North America, so it's not actually the same.

[–] Phantaminum@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Call it super-continent if it illustates better what I mean. There is a clear intention on referring to your country with the name of the totality of the continent. You know the history

[–] certified_expert@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

About +20 countries staring at you like 😐 saying "what did I do" (in spanish)

[–] Phantaminum@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

¿Qué te hice? But most of the countries will have a local slgang to it!

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

and there will be a couple saying "que que eu te fiz 😟" unusually loudly.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I’m dumb idk which word was changed

[–] kali_fornication@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

they changed several words. the original T-shirt is "Fuck McDonalds | Burger King's Fries Are Much Better"

[–] kali_fornication@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

which is total bullshit btw. typical neolib insanity. mcdonalds fries are the best

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

Wrong, it's Chicken Treat.

[–] StridAst@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Well, that's 8 words. Clearly OP couldn't count that high, because one of their hands was occupied by them jerking off to images of Trump's smelly shit encrusted diapers.

[–] stepan@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

It's ok you're not dumb. I changed Trump to America

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 2 days ago

As an American this is a message I can get behind.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

Great meme OP

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't like usa, I don't even like mesa.

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Took me a few seconds to get the joke.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago

When my own brainhole served me this joke (not even original prob) it itself took IQ damage.

So naturally I had to post it to spread the suffer.

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What was the original t-shirt?

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Trump instead of America

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No-one likes the USA. It's low hanging fruit. Especially now.

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 days ago

No one likes the psychotic serial killer.

[–] w3ird_sloth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Hey, fuck you too!

[–] LemmiChanga@programming.dev -1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Wow another not funny or clever meme. This community is not what I was expecting.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Sometimes somebody just tosses a ball in the air and you see what happens. Are you posting content? Do you have funny clever memes you want to use as examples?

Have you ever been to a meme message board with only bangers?

[–] JustVik@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not all memes are perfect, but it just memes not quantum physics...
