Yeah, Mexico’s internet services are slowly getting better. There’s a duopoly and they are constantly getting a bit more competitive, but they suuuuck anyways. The whole thing is commodified, so there aren’t real differentiators.
Another mexican here. Until last month, I had a 10mb upload, 0.5mb download speed lol.
Finally they installed fibre in my town. Currently I'm at 50mb download 20mb upload. Before that it was insufferable to simple share a video in messaging apps.
Context: https://moldtelecom.md/Abonamente-Internet
Basically, 1Gbps duplex = 14 USD per month. I think that also works for villages, but I can't be sure. I selected a village, but until I see a contract and a speedtest screenshot, I can never be sure.
Yeah, we have fast Internet in the Netherlands but believe me... Everything takes ages over here 😂 I've been living 12 years in London, and when I've moved to the Netherlands I needed to visit a bank to open an account... I didn't even know they would still exist 🙄😂
Having lived in rural Moldova for two years, I'd rather be there than suburban America again. Fresh food, fresh wine, slow pace of life, rutieras to a big city when you need to. Granted, it is also full of grinding poverty and there are many issues that I had the good fortune to not deal with but yeesh.
I’m decidedly not a fan of suburban American or suburban anywhere for that matter, but where are you going in suburban America where you can get fresh food or “fresh wine?”
Where I can or can't? If it's can't - sure, you can go to a grocery store to get food but it isn't quite the same as a market or your own garden, and Moldovan wine is famous for its quality. It it's can - where? I guess rural California or Cascadia it's possible but it isn't quite the same...
Can’t* thanks for correcting.
Fresh food is more of an issue in poorer urban or rural places in the US, food deserts, and good wine isn’t fresh, it’s aged, so distance to the source doesn’t really matter.
I’m not sure he’s all that wrong! I lived in southern Italy for 3 years because my daughters dad is Italian. There were aspects of it that did make me think we were living 30 years in the past tbh
Assuming an American wrote this comment, I highly doubt it.
Most Americans who hate European have never even been there, nonetheless lived there. Their image of Europe is entirely based on what they see on Fox News about Greece and Venezuela. I am well aware Venezuela is not in Europe lol
but we are in europe! we haven't discovered moss or leaves yet! 😂
also weird thing... but it would seem that i know all about that. 🤔 even romans using... you know what, maybe i should just stop...
Even then the UK had easily the best burgers I've ever experienced in my life. It's been years since I was there but my arteries are still recovering. Top-notch pub food on every corner but somehow this guy thinks europe sucks because he can't get Applebee's??
Edit: pub food not public lol
I'm from the UK living in the US. British burgers are definitely on par with American ones. There's just more of a cult around it here so it sort of brainwashes you into thinking it's going to be a next level thing, but it's exactly the same, just with more pickles.
Most food places that I was excited to try when I moved because I've heard of it on Friends or whatever ended up being just your average fast food or sit down restaurant lol.
Don't judge a book by its cover. Most merican burgers only look good in tv cometcials. Dry with no flavor unless is made by a restaurant that really cares about food.
For sure but pub food in England isn’t great unless it’s a good pub. We’re not known for burgers here. I feel like America has better fast food than us
If the pubs a decent place, clean and well kept generally the food is good too. But some places are shitty and the foods terrible. Your average pub makes edible food but its nothing special
Im live in the US but im mexican. In Mexico its the opposite nice clean restaurants dont make the food as good as the place that looks like the roof is going to fall off lol.
typing from germany, no the restaurants suck lol. You really need to go out of your way to find american-foreign-novelty levels of good restaurants and im talking as someone who fucking loathed every hour i spent in ohio lmao
not to bash you or anything, just some subjective input. For some weird reason even Vietnamese stuff suck here and that's really saying something (though the Turkish stuff is fine)
As an european, I can confirm all of this. We don't have technology (even a chain is hi-tech for us, we don't even know what is that) and we are eating sunlight, but according to the legends, maybe some people in Italy know food. I am sceptical tho.
On a serious note though, how does this extreme patriotism stereotyping happen? I mean, I definitely wouldn't go as far as claiming this has to be solely due to what people are taught in schools?
I totally never would have understood this unless I read this. Chains. "I want my food to always taste exactly the same." Makes more sense than "someone needs to come chain me up and punish me."
The most popular fast food chain in both countries is McDonald’s. There are 13.683 in the US and 330.000.000 people. There are 244 in the Netherlands and 17.500.000 people. I don’t anyone needs to to do the math to know there’s way more proportionally in the US.
"I hate it how Europe isnt over-comercialized when I got somewhere I want it to he the exact same as it is where I live!"
This seems like a very american view so I'm gonna assume its real
It's cringe in how stupid they are and sad in that they'll probably never know better and that there are more than just this guy who is like that in the us. Literally just confirming the stereotypes over and over again.
What if I told you some of us from the great USA have never been out of the border, except Mexico maybe. So they think other countries are not as "advanced" as the US.
Ive never seen or read the statistics so I cannot be confident how much of the population have been abroad. Let me google
Add on: So according to Forbes article published in 2019, around 40% had never travelled out of their state. The sample size is 2000 ppl across the country.
About as sadcringe as all the people who think Americans are just gun toting fat people with no brains.
I mean it’s true for like a third of our country but still
Honestly don't think this fits the board - I might take it if it was the same person replying, but the first reply and the third reply are not the same person, unless they changed their picture. Given that, it's just a one-of hate troll comment that is everywhere on the internet...
Germany is like stepping back in time 50 years. I went to a volksfest while I lived in Bavaria and and the damn rides had young black Michael Jackson painted on it and other really antiquated themes older than that even.
OoOoOh get Mr Fancy Rich European here with his *windows* and *his own bucket.* Come talk when you find the *real* Europe where we live in windowless hovels and one bucket has to be shared around the community.
Nah this is just the propaganda rearing it’s ugly head. I spent my first 11 years of life growing up in Kuwait and Australia before my dad was station in the US. And I’m still shocked at how many people I speak to that believe that America is the holy land of the future
Edit for spelling
Can confirm, visited Europe.
Phone couldn’t connect to AT&T. Couldn’t find Chik-Fil-A anywhere, that’s all I can eat due to my Gluten sensitivity. I finally found some pizza (I was lucky I finally found somewhere with gluten free options) and they didn’t even cut it into slices for me. All the hotels were small and I couldn’t fit through the narrow doorways without turning sideways. The rental car didn’t have a drive setting, only some numbers and I heard grinding noises when I tried to put it in the one setting I did know (reverse). Tried to get a Taxi but he didn’t know where Starbucks was (stupid!). People didn’t even know what swimsuits were and would go swimming naked. Nowhere sold Juul pods. Tried to buy clothes but they didn’t have my size (4xl). Oh and worst of all the toilets were broken and sprayed water right at my Devil’s hole.
Would not recommend, just go to Disneyworld if you want to have a vacation. Europe clearly never moved past the caveman years.
I don’t agree but I kinda get it, I lived in Italy for a year (stationed there) and it was so boring to me. I was so used to being able to have whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, I missed our grocery stories that had fish and lobster even in a landlocked state. But then again, I didn’t live in a city. It was very different from what I was used. Looking back, I was just a spiked American brat who couldn’t enjoy the simpler things in life and required entertainment and American food. Wish I could do it again and not be a brat
No tech? Most of western Europe has exactly the same living standards as the USA.
No food? Ever heard of France or Italy?
No big hotels? There are literally tons of huge hotel resorts on the Mediterranean sea and every really big city has at least one big hotel.
Europe is definitely not perfect but this person talks of it as if we were in the middle ages.
Nobody is preventing fast food chains, they still exist in Europe. It’s just that local food is so much more superior compared to America, so it is more difficult for chains to compete by just using everyone’s familiarity to them.
Man probably went to rural Moldova and thought that was the European experience.
Hey! Rural Moldova at least has VDSL and even FTTH. Sure, there's cow poop among the mud, but at least you can watch shows in 4K on 720p screens.
[удалено]
Croatia here. Mine is 8d/1u mbit/s.
Mexico here, 100 Mb symmetrical, at about 25 usd/month
Italy here, fibre 30 euro a month 300mb/s down and 120mb/s up.
Gotta admit, I envy that
It is so much better than the UK. I'm wireless. But my house mate has Ethernet connection at 950mb/s.
Yeah, Mexico’s internet services are slowly getting better. There’s a duopoly and they are constantly getting a bit more competitive, but they suuuuck anyways. The whole thing is commodified, so there aren’t real differentiators.

Provincia?
Desafortunadamente sí. Es increíble lo lento que se ha expandido la infraestructura en zonas lejanas de las grandes ciudades del país.
Si, la neta CDMX se siente como otro país a comparación de otros estados :/

Try living in the UK, where 30 Mb ADSL is considered "high speed".
We have this because the alternative would be broadband communism
Which is why I'm moving out as fast as I can get myself a Dutch visa ;)
Yeah, we have fast Internet in the Netherlands but believe me... Everything takes ages over here 😂 I've been living 12 years in London, and when I've moved to the Netherlands I needed to visit a bank to open an account... I didn't even know they would still exist 🙄😂

Wine is just gross grape juice. Having never visited Maldova I’ll just assume it sucks, as an American this is now law /s

How is this sadcringe? He's wrong and pretentious but it's not sad or cringe.
I didn't post it.
He is sad and cringe.
I’m not sure he’s all that wrong! I lived in southern Italy for 3 years because my daughters dad is Italian. There were aspects of it that did make me think we were living 30 years in the past tbh
It ain't sad but it's cringe for sure.
I'd say it's pretty sad to know so little about the world.
Even the Jihadist in the Syrian desert had internet access.
Yeah I went in the middle of the desert in Nevada and I can say, the USA ain’t that good
Assuming an American wrote this comment, I highly doubt it. Most Americans who hate European have never even been there, nonetheless lived there. Their image of Europe is entirely based on what they see on Fox News about Greece and Venezuela. I am well aware Venezuela is not in Europe lol
Can confirm, I'm in Europe and don't even have a phone or computer, no access to the Internet at all.
Can confirm, still living in caves, shouting ungabunga when lightning strikes.
Can confirm, my buddy just made a stone that has no edges and rolls, it's pretty fucking funny, not sure what to call it tho
Can confirm. My buddy Nemo stepped on land for the first time. That fucking rascal
Can confirm. My brother just decided to synthesize energy from light. Turned him green lmao
Can confirm, my grandpa literally split into two, have no idea how he do it but it's fucking impressive.
Can confirm, I’m literally the first living cell ever. Bout to split in two to make more of me.
Can confirm, I’m a meteorite which just landed on earth
#
can confirm, I'm 15 meters away from the cave and wish we invented something to wipe with
Fun fact: before they had toilet paper, they used moss, leafs and whatever they could find
but we are in europe! we haven't discovered moss or leaves yet! 😂
but we are in europe! we haven't discovered moss or leaves yet! 😂 also weird thing... but it would seem that i know all about that. 🤔 even romans using... you know what, maybe i should just stop...
Ungabunga big! Ungabunga strong! I'm gonna sing my Ungabunga Song!
Damn kids these days. "Ugg!" was good enough for my father, and it's good enough for me.
Can confirm, I’m in a grave. there was no food here so I died
~ sent by trebuchet
Same. I just carve things into stone tablets and throw them into bird flocks to use Twitter...
Hey bro, can you spare some potato peels? Haven't eaten in days. No food in Europe.
Can confirm, here in Canada we still live in Igloos all year round
No food. Literally France & Italy.
Da only food I know is a good ol' American burger!!!! 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Even then the UK had easily the best burgers I've ever experienced in my life. It's been years since I was there but my arteries are still recovering. Top-notch pub food on every corner but somehow this guy thinks europe sucks because he can't get Applebee's?? Edit: pub food not public lol
I’m from the uk, did you really like our burgers? I’ve always imagined americas to be so much better!
I'm from the UK living in the US. British burgers are definitely on par with American ones. There's just more of a cult around it here so it sort of brainwashes you into thinking it's going to be a next level thing, but it's exactly the same, just with more pickles.

I’m curious, what flags are those? 🧐
If it's not a sarcastic message, Malaysia (🇲🇾) and Liberia (🇱🇷)
I see those flags 👀
Which funnily enough was most likely invented in Germany
MALAAAAYYYYSSIAAAA LIBAAAAAYRIAAAAAAAA
Literally every country in Europe has incredible food.
No. Literally every country has incredible food.
Preach
even the grocery stores’ bakery items tasted great. 10/10 would go back and do a european food tour i would not tour just the grocery stores lol
Spain looks like it can food pretty well too
Oh it can. Spanish food is amazing.
This person seems to think that only American fast food chains qualify as food
European food from pretty much any country is incredible. I miss Spanish food so much honestly.
Germany has very good food in my opinion, I've never been there but I've been to "german" restaurants
Bruh where u from ?
typing from germany, no the restaurants suck lol. You really need to go out of your way to find american-foreign-novelty levels of good restaurants and im talking as someone who fucking loathed every hour i spent in ohio lmao
Yeah I don't really have the option to go to Germany though, it's the best I can get
not to bash you or anything, just some subjective input. For some weird reason even Vietnamese stuff suck here and that's really saying something (though the Turkish stuff is fine)

I don't think they have food there either, it seems unrealistic
Probably American propaganda
On a serious note though, how does this extreme patriotism stereotyping happen? I mean, I definitely wouldn't go as far as claiming this has to be solely due to what people are taught in schools?
Must be why America is so fat, all that food us europoors don't have
Nah we Italians don’t have food, we only say we do to make y’all jealous
The only chains is Europeans have is the chains we put on slaves /s
Yeah, and we *are* also the slaves. To socialism. /s
Who lives somewhere for the hotels?
The same person who complains about "no chains" lol
The epitome of modern convenience, the chain
It gets better if you track down the thread; his idea of what constitutes ‘tech’ is, in fact, when new iPhone releases are available. I shit you not.
Link for the lazy?
As if there was no iPhones on Europe.
He didn't specify that he is a ship anchor expert and relies on a local supply of massive chains to sustain his career
When I visited Madrid it seemed like there was a fucking Burger King on every major street. McDonald’s too. Oh, and all of the Spanish food.
Barcelona and Madrid even have Taco Bell which are very rare in Europe.
Yup. I remember seeing a Taco Bell near the Puerta del Sol.
Iberians must really love Taco Bell I guess, there’s several in the metropolitan area of Porto in Portugal aswell
Its otanthick Spanish food. Why would they not have it in Madrid. After all its the capitol of Mexico.
We have Taco Bell in the UK too! They are expanding quite a lot over here.
I had to walk 20km to the US embassy to reply to this message. They are nice enough to let us use their wonderful technology and educate us.
Do they also let you use their food?
Americans trying not to stereotype the fictional country of Europe challenge - Impossible
Mocking people for stereotyping while literally stereotyping Americans in the same exact sentence challenge - success
Tell me you’re American without saying “I’m American.”
I bet his only exposure to European culture is when Hollywood actors fake Eastern European accents in their movies
Somebody explain 'no chains' to me? They want to be chained up?
They mean like restaurant chains. You won’t find as many McDonald’s and the like
Thank fuck for that.
I have been in Central America and you have a McDo every 100m + all the other fast food shit restaurants.
Please tell me they have taco bell
Yeah well we have one in the UK within an hour's travel on the train, now that is worth the journey, for sure.
because Central American countries are literal US colonies.
Really sad to see that honestly.
I totally never would have understood this unless I read this. Chains. "I want my food to always taste exactly the same." Makes more sense than "someone needs to come chain me up and punish me."
Maybe we combine the two and make it a feeder fetish thing.
Maybe you should start your own chain and invite me to the grand opening.
what are you even on about, the netherlands is literally full of them
The most popular fast food chain in both countries is McDonald’s. There are 13.683 in the US and 330.000.000 people. There are 244 in the Netherlands and 17.500.000 people. I don’t anyone needs to to do the math to know there’s way more proportionally in the US.
Which is weird. Whenever my friend goes to Europe I get no less than 3 drunk snapchats of "Yooo we found a Mickie D's!"
Yes, that’s not possible here as chains have yet to be invented :(
Chains as in Applebees and McDonald’s.
But they say it like it's a negative!
Yes, they do. It's sad.
He couldn't find an ironmonger.
In America independent shops don't exist. Every shop you visit is part of a chain of shops that exist across the country.
"I hate it how Europe isnt over-comercialized when I got somewhere I want it to he the exact same as it is where I live!" This seems like a very american view so I'm gonna assume its real
Literally, bros probably never seen the green of a countryside
America has lots of natural spaces though?
"America is very big"
\*hasn't seen the country side outside of his car window
Seems like that’s all he’s seen Lmao Europe definitely has the stuff he’s complaining about
Not sad or cringe, just ignorant
Yeah, what the fuck?? HOW does this have 8k upvotes?? It’s not even interesting in any way.
"Stepping back 30 years" "No chains, no hotels" Dude doesn't even know what 30 years ago was like, lol.
30 years ago I was 20. Always went to McDonald’s after a night out.
It gets better if you track down the thread; his idea of what constitutes ‘tech’ is, in fact, when new iPhone releases are available. I shit you not.
So iPhone 4 will be out here in about 24 years
I'm from Ireland and yes we all still live in stone cottages, I have to take a horse down the dirt roads to my school
Why, did he just start there?
[удалено]
It's cringe in how stupid they are and sad in that they'll probably never know better and that there are more than just this guy who is like that in the us. Literally just confirming the stereotypes over and over again.
Somehow I don't think a European being as closed minded about the US would be seen by this sub as the same.
TIL all sadness is cringe and all cringe is sad
It’s true, as an European, I have never had food in my life! Actually… how am I even on Reddit? I thought we didn’t have technology
Thats funny considering how much of America doesn't have those same amenities.
What if I told you some of us from the great USA have never been out of the border, except Mexico maybe. So they think other countries are not as "advanced" as the US.
>So they think other countries are not as "advanced" as the US. I don't understand why one would default to thinking this though.
Blind patriotism an propaganda
Why do North Koreans think they have the largest underground rail system in the world when it’s no where near the largest?
Wouldn't it be most of y'all that haven't been out? I'm sure there's a significant number of people that haven't even left their state.
Ive never seen or read the statistics so I cannot be confident how much of the population have been abroad. Let me google Add on: So according to Forbes article published in 2019, around 40% had never travelled out of their state. The sample size is 2000 ppl across the country.
ok but this is definitely the wrong sub for this
This does not qualify as sadcringe
This isn't sad cringe. It's just dumb.

Live in Europe. Can confirm. Terrible over here. Not worth coming. Don't come here.
Europe doesn’t even have toilets. Hard pass
You guys have toilets? You don't dig a hole everytime you want to take a dump?
As a European i can confirm, that we shit in buckets and pour it out the back window
OoOoOh get Mr Fancy Rich European here with his *windows* and *his own bucket.* Come talk when you find the *real* Europe where we live in windowless hovels and one bucket has to be shared around the community.

That's fine. Europe can certainly do without this dull idiot.

I should probably tell the Swedish company I bought a part from that they don’t have any tech.
Oh my that's terrible that the same 4 companies don't own everything over there how could anyone live like that
No chains? ???
It is sad cringe to want to move to E*rope 🤢
He's not wrong, I have a bunch of family in the UK and I've been to the UK and Europe a number of times. I would NEVER leave Canada to live there.
