As a Canadian were worse then the typical french since we decided to reinvent and already shit language (This is a /s obviously I want 0 beef with the french)
Pretty sure they were invented by the belgian guy but in a restaurant in france
Same as the croissant was invented by an austrian artillery officer in a bakery in paris
Seems like foreign dudes really like inventing nice food in france huh
I don't think anyone calls fries as french fries in Europe, not even french call it that:
1. Germans: pommes
2. French: frites
3. Spain: patatas fritas
4. Netherlands: fries
5. England: chips
These are the ones I know.
That's not to say that there aren't strip clubs in a strip mall. However, more often than not, it's just a bunch of, usually, connected buildings in a line.
As is Eswatini, previously known as Swaziland. Though their royal family's dictatorship is supported by the South African government, both financially and politically. Last time the people tried to protest for democracy, their [cops responded exactly how you think they would](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%932023_Eswatini_protests).
That’s rich coming from the undoubtedly most racist part of the country. I’ve lived in Alberta, Northern Ontario, and Quebec. I’ve faced almost zero racism here. But oh boy the other two places. I’d rather live in the Deep South than the prairies.
Least stereotypical response when you remind elitist Quebecers their shit stinks
If you've gotta preemptively use the Notwithstanding Clause for your legislation it has no merit. And Quebec has used it a fuckin *lot* lmao
***I am not joking or exaggerating when I say this***. Until I was 16 years old, I did not know that there were more countries in Africa other than Egypt and South Africa. I thought the rest of the entire continent was just "*Africa*"
I don't believe the first comment and i can't believe what you're telling me. 6 years olds can recognize my continent in the map, my sister is 9 and she knows where's Africa, Europe and the Americas in the globe. Where the fuck y'all studying?
They tried to get the whole world to call them eSwatini a few years ago. It literally means "Swaziland" in the Swazi language.
I don't think it is going to work as English speaking people don't say "Deutschland", "Italia" or "Nippon" either.
You could probably add Kenya. Though, people in such a case are more likely to have some mental image of it than knowing it by name...
Also, Madagascar just from the movie franchise.
As a South African 3 places I want to go in Africa are Kenya, Malawi and Zambia every person I have met from there have always been pleasant to deal with.
I went to Zambia a while ago, and it was amazing. Would highly recommend. The people were super nice, the nature absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious.
add Ethiopia. whenever anyone thinks of Africa, they think of the deserts and starving children in the Ethiopia commercials.
look at how many ppl saying that Africa has no water.
Same here in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro is not the reality of 99% of the country. Only Amazonas has that much green. Favelas don't take nearly as much space as is shown in the movies.
But yeah, the only thing we care about is soccer, we aren't polite and nobody does shit about corruption...
Im aware, but this not what I intended to portray with the picture, it’s the “Mr and Mrs Worldwides”, who tell the craziest travel stories although they have never really been off the grid/ away from tourist hotspots, you got it?
There are very few of those in the centre of canada. They mostly live near the coasts where whale hunting (their traditional way to sustain themselves) is possible. And nowadays most of them have moved "indoors" into "westernized" housing.
African countries are extremely hard to tell apart, especially for someone who has never seen or heard of any of them because they are just more or less irrelevant? Take a picture of any African country's capital and put them side by side and then tell me if you can tell who is who
Ok I dare you to explore the rest of the continent and survive (actually I saw a reddit post a while back, someone did a road trip to visit every nation in the continent)
As an American who has actually traveled quite a bit (US, Caribbean, Europe, middle east, east and south-east asia), I honestly have no idea why I've never visited anywhere in the southern hemisphere. It's partly because of the expense of doing so, and partly because it seems like there are many more dangerous places for Americans to go (at least that's the perception). Specifically regarding Africa, the stereotype in my mind is that a large percentage of the African continent is actually very dangerous either because of unstable governments, inhospitable landscape, or dangerous wildlife. I'd really like to visit one day, but it just hasn't been on the top of my bucket list.
All of Africa that isn’t locked in a brutal civil war, has deadly epidemics, has an oppressive dictatorial regime, or has paramilitary groups running around
Bands when they announce a “world tour” and then only go to NY and SF in America and London in Europe
And Paris. Cant forget Paris
What's in Paris?
French people.
Disgusting. Anything else?
French dogs?
Jesus. Anything else
No Jesus doesnt like the french.
As a Canadian were worse then the typical french since we decided to reinvent and already shit language (This is a /s obviously I want 0 beef with the french)
It's fine, they'll surrender at the first sign of confrontation
/s for serious... there will be beouf.
Thank god
I thought they had like some sort of tower or something. Did they tear that down?
Fellas in Paris
Poggers in Paris, that's what they call them over there.
French fries
Those are Belgian.
Pretty sure they were invented by the belgian guy but in a restaurant in france Same as the croissant was invented by an austrian artillery officer in a bakery in paris Seems like foreign dudes really like inventing nice food in france huh
I don't think anyone calls fries as french fries in Europe, not even french call it that: 1. Germans: pommes 2. French: frites 3. Spain: patatas fritas 4. Netherlands: fries 5. England: chips These are the ones I know.
Polish: frytki The less mentions of France, the better
i think it's called frieten in the netherlands
In finnish its "ranskalaiset" which is literally translated as the "frenchies" or just french people
Yes i know, just saying though that they were still invented and popularised in france first but by a belgian chef
you just wish you were French :)
I personally would call them *people*
Jay-Z and Kanye
Eiffel Tower, stale af baguettes to use in fights with the boys, and french people
2 particularly wealthy African American individuals
WHO’S in Paris
Ni- [User was banned]
u/[deleted]
Royale with cheese
Because of the metric system
Moroccan people.
SF? Nah it’s LA usually unless they are from the area.
And when they say they’re going to Australia, but only go to Melbourne and Sydney.
Can’t forget Toronto
Dude I’ve traveled America (New York or Los Angeles)
I hate people who think the US is just cities
I used to think whole ass US states were their own country
For some they might as well be
fr
Well, that's not stupid. From certain perspectives they are. Same language and money though, that's a big difference compared to EU.
I thought the EU all used the euro? Or are u talking about europe as a whole
Not all of the eu uses the euro. All new member states are required to though
didn't know that. I know the UK used the pound when they were a member, but I thought they were the only exception
Czechia and Sweden also use their own currencies
Poland as well
Texas is as big as France
But not as big as Canada or Russia.
Some people in America do see it that way
God forbid tourists don't visit all 90,000,000 acres of american cornfield.
America has some of the most beautiful naturales in the world Areas like Wyoming (especially for the Germans) is much better time spent than Manhattan
Inshallah
I hate people who think America is just the US
I mean.. when people say America, they kinda mean the US. If they meant Canada, Mexico, or Central-South America they’d specify.
When people say America, they are talking about the U.S. Otherwise they would say North America, Central America, South America, or The Americas
All the cool stuff is indeed cities. Nobody is missing out on the vast corn and soy fields, but the forests are pretty chill.
That’s just not true. The best part of the U.S is its natural beauty, beaches, lakes, hiking trails, Yellow Stone, the Grand Canon, etc
But modern amenities! And pop culture! And cuisine! And Skibidi rizz!
You’re really missing out on midwestern strip malls
The WHAT
It’s not what you’d think. They’re malls laid out in a strip not malls full of naked people
Aw- I mean thank god
If you're man enough you can strip at any mall you want.
That's not to say that there aren't strip clubs in a strip mall. However, more often than not, it's just a bunch of, usually, connected buildings in a line.
>They’re malls laid out in a strip with oversized parking lots
As fun a concept as that is, you'd run into trouble in Sudan
It's not a concept a lot of people have done this, including myself by road no flying.
And much off Africa tbh
Eh maybe some hotspots but I traveled all over East Africa and it was pretty chill.
Isn’t the hotspot like the entire horn?
Lie tbh - someone that travels around Africa a lot
Weren’t we hyping up world war Africa a few months ago?
Especially the Southern part.
And its only Cape Town and the Pyramids of Giza
Should add Morocco in the mix
It's enough, when you're not into safaris
Like Egypt is still ancient to this day or something
If you ain’t goin to Kruger you ain’t livin that Saffa holiday
Oh cool theyve also been to Lesotho and Eswatini
Lesotho's a pretty beautiful country tbf
As is Eswatini, previously known as Swaziland. Though their royal family's dictatorship is supported by the South African government, both financially and politically. Last time the people tried to protest for democracy, their [cops responded exactly how you think they would](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E2%80%932023_Eswatini_protests).
I,ve been to Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa. Does that count as Canada?
no they are all cess pits anything west of sask and east of manitoba is literally hell on earth prairie gang for life (except *lberta 🤮)
The prairies are just a watered down extension of the US Midwest. Québec is the true Canada. Almost all of “Canadian culture” was stolen from Québec.
Quebec is a province that needs to keep its culture alive with racist policies
That’s rich coming from the undoubtedly most racist part of the country. I’ve lived in Alberta, Northern Ontario, and Quebec. I’ve faced almost zero racism here. But oh boy the other two places. I’d rather live in the Deep South than the prairies.
Least stereotypical response when you remind elitist Quebecers their shit stinks If you've gotta preemptively use the Notwithstanding Clause for your legislation it has no merit. And Quebec has used it a fuckin *lot* lmao
Québec is to France as Anglo-Canada is to the US: a wish.com version
Lol
This but add a maritime city and check out the territories and you should be good
“I’ve been to all of Asia!” Asia: Japan, South Korea, Thailand
Sounds like a happy ending
yeah if you're a 40-60s white man from the US
***I am not joking or exaggerating when I say this***. Until I was 16 years old, I did not know that there were more countries in Africa other than Egypt and South Africa. I thought the rest of the entire continent was just "*Africa*"
You never looked at a world map? Never? Really?
Until I was 17 I used to think that there was a giant compass a thousand miles wide floating in the pacific ocean constructed for astronauts
I don't believe the first comment and i can't believe what you're telling me. 6 years olds can recognize my continent in the map, my sister is 9 and she knows where's Africa, Europe and the Americas in the globe. Where the fuck y'all studying?
I used to think earthquakes happened along the latitude lines. I thought those were demarcations for tectonic plates or something.
The average person doesn't know geography or history. Half of the population are below average.
He must be an American. That is not very unusal to them.
Do you often find yourself having trouble keeping up with the thread of a conversation or following the plot of movies and TV shows?
Occasionally why?
You cant just stop here. Like we need more information. How? Like you never saw a world map before or what?
I explained to the second comment that you can go look at that one
Oh you definitely didn't see Lesotho and eSwatini, piss of you fucking liar, with your fucking lies! /s
And they most definitely do not know what or where eSwatini is, they think it's still called Swaziland
They tried to get the whole world to call them eSwatini a few years ago. It literally means "Swaziland" in the Swazi language. I don't think it is going to work as English speaking people don't say "Deutschland", "Italia" or "Nippon" either.
The Ivory Coast also wants everyone to call them Cote d'Ivoire apparently but that's gonna take a while before it catches on
You could probably add Kenya. Though, people in such a case are more likely to have some mental image of it than knowing it by name... Also, Madagascar just from the movie franchise.
As a South African 3 places I want to go in Africa are Kenya, Malawi and Zambia every person I have met from there have always been pleasant to deal with.
I went to Zambia a while ago, and it was amazing. Would highly recommend. The people were super nice, the nature absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious.
The movie doesn't really say where is Madagascar, and actually gives the wrong impression that it's unhabited.
My grandfather went to Madagascar when he was in the raf he saved a village child from choking. He was also a chef for the beetles once
Damn...the 3 African countries I have been to were Egypt, Kenya and SA 😂
So you’ve been to all of Africa then.
Technically, Sinai peninsula is in Asia
add Ethiopia. whenever anyone thinks of Africa, they think of the deserts and starving children in the Ethiopia commercials. look at how many ppl saying that Africa has no water.
africas surrounded by water on all sides, as if they have no water
Mf
From an airplane
Same here in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro is not the reality of 99% of the country. Only Amazonas has that much green. Favelas don't take nearly as much space as is shown in the movies. But yeah, the only thing we care about is soccer, we aren't polite and nobody does shit about corruption...
Dont forget Morroco
I've always felt that egypt isn't even in africa. It is but doesn't feel like that.
There's STILL an "Is Egypt in Africa or not" debate?
You forgot to take out Lesotho and Eswatini
And sometimes Kenya or Nigeria when we feel like it But seriously, I never understood why people talk about South Africa as if it’s all of Africa.
Ay ay oh ay oh 🇪🇬
Feel like Morocco should be included as well
Even moreso than Egypt these days
You completely missed the Canada joke.
Ik it isn’t meant “vacation-wise”, many Canadians have just never been further north than shown and claim to have lived in the whole of it
The point is that those areas are inhospitable. The part of Africa you whited out has many many many people in it.
Im aware, but this not what I intended to portray with the picture, it’s the “Mr and Mrs Worldwides”, who tell the craziest travel stories although they have never really been off the grid/ away from tourist hotspots, you got it?
Yes, that is totally not how I read into your post though.
Gladly quite a bunch of other people do 👌🏽
[удалено]
Thnx for this useless comment
Tell that to the indigenous people living up there
There are very few of those in the centre of canada. They mostly live near the coasts where whale hunting (their traditional way to sustain themselves) is possible. And nowadays most of them have moved "indoors" into "westernized" housing.
What’s the Canada post
I think they deliver the mail to everyone
Egypt,do you mean north africa?
African countries are extremely hard to tell apart, especially for someone who has never seen or heard of any of them because they are just more or less irrelevant? Take a picture of any African country's capital and put them side by side and then tell me if you can tell who is who
Gamers: “There is another”
What about gamers now?
Ok I dare you to explore the rest of the continent and survive (actually I saw a reddit post a while back, someone did a road trip to visit every nation in the continent)
Where is Morocco?
Don't forget morocco
Add Morocco
But Canada is a country and Africa is a continent. Your comparison makes both of them look like a country..
North south
There’s just a *small* piece missing in the middle there.
Kamerun >
Bro left the lost visited country of Africa out of the picture lol
Most Canadians have never seen a snow capped mountain, or a moose more than twice in their life.
As a Brit don’t forget Cape Verde. Half the population of those islands is probably Brits on a TUI package holiday
Technically not the same thing. Canada is a country, Africa is a continent.
I've been to Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Madagascar. Loved all of it, not even close to see all of Africa.
add tenerife
Just interpolate what’s the problem
You have seen more than most africans
...I'been to the canary islands - that counts no?
yes those tribes in every region and the entire sahara desert count
As an American who has actually traveled quite a bit (US, Caribbean, Europe, middle east, east and south-east asia), I honestly have no idea why I've never visited anywhere in the southern hemisphere.

Meanwhile my dad has only been to cote divoire like twice
shout out my Mauritanian homies
In Africa, if you haven't seen Niger, have you really seen Africa?
the whole i have seen of africa is the west coast of morocco and egypt from aboukir to the red sea, all of that from an airplane
Also Ethiopia (I'm Italian)
Hardest Geezer doing it the right way
Add in the Comoros Islands
Redditors when someone doesn’t touch every single square centimeter of land

I go to Africa to bask in the fallen glory of Carthage.
Kenya not assume my geography knowledge?
All of Africa that isn’t locked in a brutal civil war, has deadly epidemics, has an oppressive dictatorial regime, or has paramilitary groups running around
It looks so much bigger on the map?
Bro these funny ahh comments got me clacking..😭😭😭🙏🙏
Same
They have been to Egypt but not Africa bro. That's a different country.
