    I used to live nearby! Loved that silly thing, just don’t treat it like one big roundabout - it’s six chained roundabouts that you can use individually; both green and red routes are valid and legal for the same destination:

            Not at all!! I’m being a bit tongue in cheek really. I enjoy these things, but the jeans one went on a bit long.

            (Que someone to create a car driving around some jeans for 18 hours to shock yoga pants wearers)

              Ah sorry there was an older Lemmy original meme. Was a typical survey question, one of the options was “only alert me on important updates” or some such. Spawned like two straight weeks of stroganoff memes. Google doesn’t search lemmy well or I’d link you the page

      Ok. I get it. There are people in the Americas that are not from the US. But do you call people from the United Mexican States “Unitied Mexican Stateans”? No, that sounds ridiculous. I think that it’s silly anyway to call everyone from either Americas “American” anyway; they are two different continents! “North American” or “South American” would be better, if you must get so broad with your adjectives (but really, continent-wide generalizations of people are rarely useful anyway). Sorry for the rant.

        1: I was making a meta joke, and this point isnt really your fault

        2: Canada takes up more of North America than the States does, and no one says “United States of Mexico”, they say Mexico. Mexico is also not a continent that is shared with other Countries. In general I’m not going to fight people referring to the States as America, but you arguement is BAD

          I’m just being a little pedantic here, but Canada is only about 100k miles or so bigger than the US and much more of Canada is unlivable unless you count Texas and Florida as being unlivable, because I do.

          There’s also about 10x as many Americans as Canadians.

          North America and South America are 2 continents in a lot of models. What definition are you using that has them as one? I’m always pretty skeptical of the ones that have Europe and Asia but then just America.
