The queen.... Is dead. Has been for some time too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

The people accept Charles but I wouldn't say they are loyal to him like they were to his mom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Hilariously still accurate though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Everything but the beans and toast and queen loyalty applies to Americans, too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you think Americans have an innate instinct to line up single-fine in queues, you clearly haven't seen queues in other countries.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I lived in Germany for 10 years, so I certainly saw the lack of respect for the queue there! But that was in the 80s-90s, maybe it's better now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think we Americans are bad at it, but I don't think we've got anything on the English or the Japanese (bonus, and pardon the links to the bad place), not enough to consider it a markable trait of ours. I suspect we're probably middle to high-middle in queuing globally, although I won't claim to be the most world-traveled or knowledgeable person.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, my experience is primarily from noticing how prevalent line-skipping was in Germany in my childhood compared to the US. As I said, people do it, but it's VERY frowned upon.

Britain has anti-monarchists, don’t know of many ants that are

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

You don't know about them because they are silenced

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Is that Ant-Arctica?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Always happy to see a Look Around You reference.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

That's the reason I always call Charles Queen Charles.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Queen is pretty banging ngl tho

[–] [email protected] 112 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

As a Brit I am DEEPLY offended... It's beans ON toast! Beans and toast does not highlight the important fact that the beans must be placed on top of the toast. Do you expect me to separate my "beans and toast"... Or put toast on beans like some hooligan?!?!

Everything else is pretty spot on to be fair.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

This reads like something Mark Corrigan would say on Peep Show lmao

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I confess I sometimes put the beans in a small bowl and dip my toast in or scoop it on with a fork. Nonetheless, I refer to this and beans on toast.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Torie beans on toast

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

And not a mention of cheese.

Which should go under the beans to prevent sogginess. I will not be debated on this point.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I do this with a fried egg. Ultimate beans on toast: toast -> egg -> beans -> cheese

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

PREVENT sogginess?? The combination of crunch and softness is a part of the appeal, you philistine!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Begun, the cheese wars have.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Dammit, who declared war on France THIS time?

The Swiss. They felt it was their turn

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Fair enough. For too long has their hole-cheese toiled in the shadows while brie flourishes!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And we'll have none of that bloody French muck neither!

It's good strong cheddar or nowt. I will accept the addition of a layer of grated mozzarella for texture.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

It's good strong cheddar or nowt

I'm with you there. Nothing so sad as mild to "medium" cheddar!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ants can't lift 5000x their own weight but maybe OP is being British and using commas as decimal points.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Britain doesn't use commas for decimal points, that's a mainland European thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

*decimal separator

We call it decimal comma

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Also if OP was British, they’d have put ‘beans on toast’. What they put makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i guess beans and toast implies that you're having them separately on different plates

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

That is one of the four horsemen of lunch.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago

If you think ants won't jump on some beans and toast...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That got me from the start "weird loyalty to their queen".
