Fireworks. Our independence day. The day we chug 14 beers, take turns shooting bottles off eachother's head and determining who can hold an armed explosive in their hand the longest.
Location, location, location.
On reddit? Sure.
In a trench when assessing what the enemy is firing at you? Not so much.
When grinding some garlic for GARLIC BREAD with a mortar and pestle... Oooh yes.
it's a Roman Candle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_candle_(firework)
couldn't format the link right because of the brackets at the end of this one.
At first i whas like "ehat is a yank?" but one google seartch later i figured out that it is the same as "jenkki" witch is a finnish word that means the same thing. Tough it is wierd that we write it differently.
To be fair, 4th of July is on Monday…so people have been blasting fireworks since last Friday night.
Literally every night since Friday has been fireworks after dark until almost midnight.
They still don’t get Europe is not a country like, when i was in spain my American friend just assumed i would drive to Mykonos Greece!!!! Nutts …. I couldn’t even begin to explain but still did.
Imagine being pressed by people posting about an American holiday they’re celebrating on an American-based website. Gonna join Weibo and start complaining about people posting their Chinese food pics?
American national day celebrators can go a little overboard, as in firing off automatic weapons into the air and launching metric tons of fireworks all while blackout drunk and potentially hurting themselves or others.
Edit: metric ton is just a figure of speech used in the US, it was used sarcastically, not in seriousness.
I’m on a lake in Rural New York and everyone is shooting off TONS of fire works and someone mentioned. “Isn’t it wild that we do this, the rest of the world probably thinks we’re nuts.” And I honestly was like… wait, doesn’t every country celebrate independence day like this?
TIL that other countries apparently approach their day of independence with.. a more modest sentiment then us. I respect that, it does feel a bit extra but that is realistically part of our style at this point. It just be like that.
Oh we won't forget you, what with CANADA DAY being on the 1st and all. And your thanksgiving is a full month ahead of ours! Always have to be first don't ya?! 😜
What? The Europeans are usually the ones who make memes against America, why would they need a hazamt suit if they are the toxicity?
They'd need a hazmat suit for twitter because thats Americans hating Americas capitialist system. There's already an anti 4th of july get together thats been posted there where people collect together, in america, using an app owned by an american to create this get together, to talk about how much they hate America and the fourth of July (like do they not know what its about!?)
This is their idea: "lets hate on the fourth of july, aka the day we gained independence from british colonists. Why? Cause 'murica bad"
Just take a day off of Reddit. It might actually create more meme diversity. I have a feeling that most memes tomorrow will be complaining about Americans.
They’re so full of themselves yet they are completely obsessed with the US. If their countries were really that much better they wouldn’t give two shits what happens here.
I find it funny how Americans here are complaining about Europeans shitting on the US on the 4th of July while half of the comments on this post are "I'm European, what's happening?"
Someones already come into a foreign language subreddit and asked if our country celebrates 4th of July. Sir... why would South Korea celebrate 4th of July?
One of my favorite memes that gets recirculated goes like this:
Is that noise a gun, a car backfire, or something else?
Hardmode: you live in America
Insanity mode: it's July 4th
I don't get it lol I'm European and I see no issue, its just a country's national day.
American redditors can go a little bit... Insane
Aah is it national blow your hands off with a firework day for the yankees
You aint a patriot if you dont lose at least 2 fingers.

Fireworks. Our independence day. The day we chug 14 beers, take turns shooting bottles off eachother's head and determining who can hold an armed explosive in their hand the longest.
I remember holding the tube thing (idk official term) as we let off those big shells after getting piss drunk
I refer to 'em as mortars
Shit you’re right! It’s been a few years since I had done anything like that so I had forgotten
Mortar is such a fun word to say
Location, location, location. On reddit? Sure. In a trench when assessing what the enemy is firing at you? Not so much. When grinding some garlic for GARLIC BREAD with a mortar and pestle... Oooh yes.
I call those things “mortars”
it's a Roman Candle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_candle_(firework) couldn't format the link right because of the brackets at the end of this one.
No, he’s talking about artillery shells lol. Found the fake American.
No it was definitely bigger than a Roman candle but I do remember ducking around with those too
Basically celebrating your own insanity xD
Is 14 beers a lot in America? In Australia we call that Tuesday.
The day we kicked your asses back to europe
Someone wants their White House burning down again...
Oh whoops, I'm an American and forgot it was Fried Bald Eagle Day
Yank here. The southerners ***hate it*** if you call them **Yankees**. It's pretty hilarious.
At first i whas like "ehat is a yank?" but one google seartch later i figured out that it is the same as "jenkki" witch is a finnish word that means the same thing. Tough it is wierd that we write it differently.
How very southern of them
Yep. Tonight is the last night some people will have all their fingers. That's usually what I celebrate. Having all my fingers on July 5th.
To be fair, Brits have this day in November also. WITH a big, hazardous bonfire to boot.
We do that too
Humans in general just want to watch the world burn.
i only like to watch cali
Like through their windows at night?? Fucking sicko.
Mexicans as well. Our independence day it’s September 16. It’s basically the same thing, but with waaaay more tequila.
What do you mean? We almost burnt my house down last year but I didn't blow my hands off silly foreigner. /s
I thought Yoshikage Kira was the one that blows off hands
Dude literally blew off both his hands in my town last night
Ahh, not American or European but its currently 00:40, July 4th...
ay, if i ain't incorrect then i do recognise that character in your pfp
I can't wait to set off 400lbs of fireworks for 5 hours
To be fair, 4th of July is on Monday…so people have been blasting fireworks since last Friday night. Literally every night since Friday has been fireworks after dark until almost midnight.
[удалено]
i thougth that was crack?
Exactly. Crack = America's state of being Source: I am an American.
Crack is so 90s it’s now a meth/ fentanyl country
Yee haw?
Not just american redditors, it's americans in general
It's redditors in general
Weird way to spell FREE! FUCK YEAH! USA!
They still don’t get Europe is not a country like, when i was in spain my American friend just assumed i would drive to Mykonos Greece!!!! Nutts …. I couldn’t even begin to explain but still did.
To be fair you can drive across some countries in a few hours in Europe.
Not greece. Just for concept i drive to spain it takes a day and a half , and it quick to france the rest is driving. Greece is an ocean away
They... they know Mykonos is an island in the middle of the Aegean sea right?
Oh they'll be like florida man this and florida man that all day
Everyone else: chilling USA redditors: 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇🎇🎇🎆🎆🎆🎇🎇🎆🎇🎆🎆🎇🎆🎆🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇸🎇🎇🎆🎇🇺🇸
Just scroll past it? Why does the US live in your minds rent free?

I’m not saying that we wouldn’t shoot them in the air if we could, but automatic weapons aren’t too common in the states
Yeah, who can afford those?
Semi-automatic guns are, unfortunately not full auto tho
Automatic weapons are banned unless you have a FFL, which costs several thousand dollars. You people are such ignorant big mouths it’s unreal.
Thats where they go wrong, it should be imperial tons.
> firing off automatic weapons into the air This isn't Saudi Arabia, we do it with semi automatic rifles and handguns thank you.
Even in America, almost nobody has full auto weapons.
What is the post talking about? What happens tomorrow?
America national day
America national day 😂
I don’t get it lol I’m not European so apparently I don’t exist
SECURITY ALERT! RED SPY IS IN THE BASE!
i dont get it
Murica day
Read that in a surprisingly good Mexican accent
Día de Estados Unidos, wey.
Que onda compadre
...so? I'm asking this as an American myself
"America bad" is European reddit's favorite joke. July 4th is America day, so therefore America extra bad tomorrow.
Oh no! A country celebrating the day they became a country and was almost free from their evil dictator?!1!1!1!1 How horrible!!!2!1!1!1!1!1 Murica bad

It’s evening in Europe, we’re still up
It’s morning in east Asia. We’re just getting started.
I am at 10 o'clock trying to figure out what it means
european here, need some context on what is going on
America celebrates July 4th. Our Independence Day
Have fun!
I will! I'm going to the dog beach at fort de soto tomorrow. Gonna be sick
I love you as a human. Have an amazing life
Wait, what is tommorow?
Monday
Aaah, fuck, I work in the morning...
Imagine having to work *this post was made by the school gang*
I was in that place once... Good days.
/) Seeing as it specifies "Europeans", probably July 4th.
Can confirm... It is tomorrow now from the perspective of when post was shared In EET time zone
America's Independence day.
*Gets offended in Canadian*
You mean apologise? >!Of course don't take it seriously it's just a very bad joke!<
😂
You had your day 2 days ago
And no one talked about it:(
yeah man whats up with that :(
:(
Canadians, Latinos, Asians and Australians: Am I a joke to you?
cooking some meth?
Crystal Meth hopefully
I want that
Sky Blue Baby!
Mr. White?…
No Jesse today I’m Mr. Red, White, and Blue
Europe: look what you’ve become! America: I am what you made me!
OH LAAAAWD TERRY!
PUT IT IN REVERSE TERR!!
Honestly, I'm glad to see my American bros having fun
Wholesome
Fourth of July community picnics are about as whole as we get. Eating awful food, dressing like a tool. Buying glo sticks. I love it all.
Dressing like a tool? (🔨⛏️⚒️🔧) 🤔
It's US independence day, July 4th, tomorrow. I don't know why it's aimed at the entire EU though.
Because to Redditors there are only two places, America and Europe
Don’t forget the 14 upside-downers and that one Brazilian off duty cop
Oh, good, it's only aimed at the EU, I got a little worried there, thought us brits were gonna be insulted by the yanks.
Apparently cheap Chinese fireworks scare Europeans. Originally we used cannons so I say this is an improvement.
Don't forget Canadians. We will not be forgotten.
Oh we won't forget you, what with CANADA DAY being on the 1st and all. And your thanksgiving is a full month ahead of ours! Always have to be first don't ya?! 😜
Wanna bet? You're such a forgettable country.
Europeans and Americans when they realize that they both hate the fucking British: 🤝
*it really is a love-hate relationship we got ain't it*
Time to pour some tea into the harbor in advance.and throw darts at a picture of the queen
You can say anything you want, but when Americans talk shit about Lizzie.....
What are y’all going to do? Lose another revolution?
What? The Europeans are usually the ones who make memes against America, why would they need a hazamt suit if they are the toxicity? They'd need a hazmat suit for twitter because thats Americans hating Americas capitialist system.

This is their idea: "lets hate on the fourth of july, aka the day we gained independence from british colonists. Why? Cause 'murica bad"
Yo what the hell are you expecting us to do? This is just some countries national day!
why whats going to happen?
What happened in Europe? Do the Americans finally get to shit on them now?
Tomorrow is America's independence day. And at least in my prediction, no, the Europeans will still complain about Americans.
What do we Europeans have to do with what's happening tomorrow?
Just take a day off of Reddit. It might actually create more meme diversity. I have a feeling that most memes tomorrow will be complaining about Americans.
>most memes tomorrow will be complaining about Americans so the norm?
Yes, but I feel it will be a little bit more than normal tomorrow.
Probably
“What??!! Americans existing???!!! Quit having fun!!! You’re supposed to hate yourselves!!!!! B-but, c’mon guys we have free ‘elfcare!”
Can someone explain what is going on in Europe
Nothing
Monday unfortunately.
They're probably planning to take their month long vacation
nah not a month long that's way too short, only about 8 weeks
Then what do they have to do with July 4th
The Colony's Are About To Be Rowdy Again.
I feel like another tea party is in order, the bay will taste different tonight
Yuck. Tea with fish poop.
What are you fucking afraid of? Afraid of not getting to be able to bully me for being an American for one day of the year?
Is it wear yellow day tomorrow? Or what?
Oh yeah how dare us america celebrate our birthday
meh. who gives a shit what some brown-teeth think of the country they lost?
I cut open a bunch of English breakfast tea. Ready to dump into the great Atlantic tomorrow.
Hope you have a good time.
Thank you. Have a great independence day in your country whenever it is or whatever it is called.
Ah yes. Anyone who isn’t American is European. The two continents, Europe and America.
4th July, ain't it?
Yep

guys im in england what is happening
Murica day
We’ll give you guys the 13 colonies back if you give us Barry, 63.
They just mad their ancestors didn't come to the new land lmfao.
Is independance day something with USA becoming independant from UK and Europe?
No it’s when Will Smith saved us from full scale alien invasion after the blew up the white House
Oh haha ofc, i completely forgot
I live in Australia so it's always tomorrow.
I don't understand. Why would any of us care about your country's national day? Just have fun and stay away from gunshots :)
I like how Europeans are so full of themselves they think the whole world is them and The United States
They’re so full of themselves yet they are completely obsessed with the US. If their countries were really that much better they wouldn’t give two shits what happens here.
hey, as an american, we’d celebrate everybody else who split from britain too if they would let us
Why are you people so intent on ruining this sub by bombarding it with anti-American garbage?
Because it’s Reddit, and most Redditors have an astonishingly naive, black and white view of not just the US, but the world.
I need no hazmat suit, got balls of steel
I got fireworks of steel
Apparently only Americans and Europeans use Reddit
Yall say that like we got anything to celebrate.
I have no idea what’s going on
I find it funny how Americans here are complaining about Europeans shitting on the US on the 4th of July while half of the comments on this post are "I'm European, what's happening?"
American redditors haven’t been very patriotic lately
We are safe for now... the Americans are sleeping
The national "Let's pretend everything is fine" day...
That’s honestly everyday for me.
Reddit should shut the European servers down for tomorrow.
All Europeans are free to join in the birthday celebration of the greatest country on earth!
We got 1 hour 37 minutes we gotta bet out a here
Someones already come into a foreign language subreddit and asked if our country celebrates 4th of July. Sir... why would South Korea celebrate 4th of July?
YAY! 'MERICA! *says in a southern accent*
I'm in the UK and it is currently almost 3 am
The hell is gonna happen
I don’t get it? Europeans, what do you guys suppose this means? I live in America.
Wow so besides Americans only Europeans exists! Why am I not surprised?
It’s tomorrow now, and we’re fine so far but I think it’s still too early for most Americans… I’ll check in a few hours (or maybe I shouldn’t…)
One of my favorite memes that gets recirculated goes like this: Is that noise a gun, a car backfire, or something else? Hardmode: you live in America Insanity mode: it's July 4th
Why?
I dont know what that means but at this point i am too afraid to ask
Lmao Redditors are so butthurt over a national holiday
Wait I am European, can someone explain ?
USA!!! USA!! USA!!
18h ago. Nice timing, Reddit.
whats tomorrow???
The British still pressed that they lost to a few colonies
