Common Things Different in Europe vs. the United States

April 29, 2025

Ah America, filled with gun toting rednecks wearing their flag as a
t-shirt and pondering what Jesus would do while chowing down on Mexican food, greasy burgers, partially hydrogenated corn syrup cubes, and washing it all down with Budweiser, the king of beers… for those who’ve never tasted real beer… And Europe, full of a homogeneous group of people who spend most of their time measuring things in meters instead of Ariana Grandes as every god-fearing individual should, whilst
worshiping the British monarchy, rioting about football, mocking
Americans and their inferior chocolates and cheeses, and otherwise bent
on making sure the entire world becomes socialist… Or, at least, so the
interwebs have taught us all. But what are the actual interesting
differences between people and things in the surprisingly diverse United
States compared with the various individuals in the vastly more diverse
countries of Europe? Well, I'm glad you asked, because that's what Simon and I are going to cover today. Let’s dive into it all, shall we?
