The right hand column for “Drinks” can just be tap water barring a few exceptions water in Europe is clean and safe as well as being delicious in some countries!

7-Eleven is 100% Japanese since 2005

Boycott 9-Eleven instead.

Blue sky is an American non-profit?

From clothing down on the right column, never seen any of these available for sale here in the midwest

If I had to guess, the intended audience is Europeans.

Anyone know if Qwant's search engine is pretty capable? I would like to ditch Google, but it's hard b/c it has the best search results

I just use duckduckgo, which doesn't track you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Just tried it, it has very similar results as Bing.

OK, but... What is the fault of the rest of the people in the USA?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Somehow I don't use/buy any of these? Like from either side of the chart... I guess I'm doing my part?

HERE We Go? Isn't that owned by microsoft?

Pretty ironic that the website that created this, buy-european-made.eu, is actually promoting their Reddit community. They should really switch to an EU-hosted Lemmy instance, and also join Mastodon, just like european-alternatives.eu: @european_[email protected]

Mmm... ditch Garmin, strap a raspberry pi + car battery to your arm, & away you go.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

"just ditch apple, get an old rotary phone, tons of cable, top tier camera, and an ibm system 370 and lug them around instead." Was that your point? That garmin is literally the only one making gpses and watches?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Lol, or get a polar fitness watch instead?

Food drink and clothing I was never buying either side anyway.

Recently got some new plain cotton t-shirts though. £2.50 each at Tesco so I got 8. Should just about last me to 2030.
