    When are we talking about, here? Much of Europe is a disease-ridden mosquito swamp if you go back a few thousand years.

    This is clearly some kind of rage bait troll post. Don’t acknowledge it and maybe they will just go away

      This particular meme is probably older than you are

      I don’t like it very much, but I also know the OP’s typical posting history (Picard Maneuver is pretty prolific on meme Lemmy) and I can say with some certainty that that ain’t it, chief. At worst it’s a bad take that the OP definitely didn’t make themselves because I’ve seen this meme decades ago.

      Bad take and all though, it seems to have sparked some discussion here in the comments.

        age for sure makes all the difference in when a meme is appropriate

        as we know, the oldest memes and in-jokes are all the least racist and bigoted

    The Galapagos deserves its own level at the top of this. It’s literally, “don’t eat any green apples you find on the island, okay?”

    We talking wilderness of Canada or population centers? Cuz there ain’t no way I’d go into Canadian bush without a shotgun.

        Bud, have you met a moose?

        They’re the size of three deer and they have the personality of a Canadian Goose.

          Moose and black bear aren’t like that unless you pissed them off

          Grizzleys and Cougars you have to worry about but your shotgun’s noise is the most effective part of it

    For some reason New Guinea is included with Australia, even though the western half is owned by Indonesia, and the eastern half is its own country. Either way with the civil war going on there at the moment I’d much rather be living in Australia!

    Includes British Columbia in “easy mode”.

    Nah, BC looks pretty, but if you unprepared off the beaten trails/roads, they’ll never find your body.

      I don’t think we’re talking about wilderness in general… But housing and grocery prices are not particularly easy either.

        If we aren’t talking about wilderness in general, then there is no reason for Australia to have it’s own category.

          Seems to be an all round rubric partially political (more than a little based in Eurocentric standard) partially wilderness in which case Australia does kind of have BC beat. Like yes… We have moose grizzlies and wolverine but those are a pretty rare eldrich horror to stumble across. We don’t really have mouse-pocolypses, or dinnerplate sized crawlies that randomly just show up in our houses… And our critters are all round less venomous.

          Like I grew up in a forestry household. Off trail can get spooky as fuck. But for a lot of the main points like exposure and microbial issues which is pretty much a problem everywhere we rank fairly tame. Most of our snakes and bugs are chill with highly survivable bites, our deserts are pretty temperate but in most of the heavily forested areas there’s a lot of foragables if you know what to look for and most of our big predators are easily scared off.

    A Certain Subsection Of Lemmy: “The Imperial Core™ makes life harder for the nations it exploits!”

    Meme: “Life is harder in those nations.”

      It’s really mind-boggling.

      Also, ironically a bit ethnocentric to suggest that the challenges in the US or Europe are in any way on par with life in places like Brazil, India, Africa!
