It's okay, man. I saw the post you're referencing at least.
xD I went a little too hard on the meta, its to be expected =P
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

There was a meme posted earlier that used the term "USAean". They were referring to that i think
Yeah I went ultra meta. The first countermeme said USAean instead of American, and then one of the topish comments was "USAean? Do you mean American?"

Can confirm. I tried 2 laps in the roundabout in front of Kaiser and people lost their minds 😂
Personally, I would have used the Swindon magic roundabout, but this works too.
The biggest my city has is 2 lanes and 5 exits. That’s pretty easy; 1st or 2nd exit is ok in the right lane, anything else in the left, always yield to left lane.
This 4 lane 6 exit shit is wild. Oh, and you drive on the left for some extra “what the fuck?”
Nothing wrong with driving on the left, we've been doing it since before cars. It helps to keep your sword arm closer to opposing traffic.
Didn’t say there was anything wrong with it, but whichever side you learn on it’s not going to be an easy switch.
Is that really why? Wild

Speak for yourself, righty.
Thank you. This is the meme that Lemmy has needed for the last week.
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:
Could someone flip this for those of us who drive on the right?
But the drawn arrows already imply driving on the right side? Or did this get edited?
i was literally just thinking - the cars are driving on the left and the arrows are all driving on the right 😂

what's the origin of this meme? I've seen several versions of this same theme
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
"Hey, look, kids, there's Big Ben! And there's Parliament!"
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

1 min without traffic
there are many roundabouts in my American city and sometimes the Americans even use them correctly
Of course I know how to use a roundabout! Step one: close eyes Step two: floor it Step three: pray Works every time!
You joke. I have personally seen someone use a roundabout like a launch ramp and survive.
I've seen the end result of someone trying to use a roundabout as a launch ramp. I don't think their car, stuck in the middle of the roundabout, survived.

We have shitloads of roundabouts all over the country but OK.
While we're on the subject though, they're fucking great!
You have failed to notice that the Magic Roundabout isn't a roundabout
It's six roundabouts
Your entire puny American consciousness would literally disintegrate on arrival at the first one
Two way street roundabouts aren't even a thing I've seen in person, ours all seem to be one way, so this would definitely be weird to me.

My American city has at least 2 roundabouts in it, and I happen to get confused by at least one of them every time I'm trying to get somewhere.
Based and freedom-pilled. Ignorance out for America, ~~brother~~ comrade.
To be fair, it's the most American roundabout ever. Changing numbers of lanes, stop lights around it, and completely unintuitive. I seem to always be one lane more to the right of where I thought I needed to be.
Inconceivable!!
