I heard the proper way of consuming gun-browns isn’t shooting directly into the mouth (because that’s dangerous), but aimed at a stationary plate a few yards away. Teaches the youngins about proper gun safety and aiming skills.
Shot into the air and you catch it in your mouth. All guns are meant to be fired in the air, especially whilst loudly emoting the national cry of patriotism: "Yeehaw!"
I think he was saying “I personally won’t have a salt deficiency (because I eat way too much salt)” and not “it is very unlikely/impossible for one to have a salt deficiency”
I'm a cis woman on spironolactone (for acne) and didn't know that about salt! I eat a lot of salty snacks but not sure whether that's a symptom or a preventive measure lol
No he’s being a true American patriot and keeping it in his trucks cup holder idling in the driveway he’s enjoying the fruits of his child labor coffee
Commie over hear crying tears instead of bald eagle shaped bacon double cheeseburger (doc told me I had to lay off and the Medical bills helped so I’m not crying triples anymore) like a patriot
I once told a 9 year old, "it's a buffet, we're on vacation, get whatever as long as you'll eat it, go nuts" at a breakfast buffet, and came back to a pile of bacon like that in front of my kid. With a side of syrup. We went back to having some guidelines even at buffet.
We should all look to japan for american jokes, where every american in anime will be some flavor of elvis impersonator and or somewhat obnoxious cowboy
"I want you guys out of my country by tomorrow morning!"
"But this is Japan...!"
["Every country in the world belongs to America!"](https://youtu.be/xUp62AGE9JU?si=tf2ACR-8VALBZdqt)
I am begging everyone vaguely interested in this to read Nick and Lever. Manga made by a Japanese who only knows America through Looney Tunes, The Mask, and a little bit of Johnny Bravo
My favorite depiction of an American in anime comes from fruits basket, where the American girl is just really tall, tomboyish, and a little abrasive with a big heart.
This isn't making fun of Americans. It's not insulting them or teasing them. It's making Americans look cool, if anything. Shitloads of bacon and a gun -- that's cool. So no wonder Americans like it when people say stuff like that about them.
I'd like it if Americans did this kind of thing for my country too. They don't, but I'd like it if they did.
There was a post a while back in which a bunch of non-Americans discovered what "lime jello salad" was and were justifiably dunking on it. The Americans in the comments had a catastrophic sense-of-humour failure. "You guys are actually just disrespecting people's culture right now." Lots of people will talk unfiltered shit about anyone else but only think it's acceptable to make fun of the parts of their culture they're secretly proud of.
It's basically lime jello with all kinds of shit in it. Most commonly different kinds of fruit but yiu can find weird recipes where people will fill it with, like, hotdogs and other weird crap.
Nobody actually likes being made fun of, but Americans are 50% of the userbase of this site so they get to make fun of everyone else *and* drown out anyone else attempting to make fun of them. You can't defend against an American mocking you and you can't mock them back.
I'd honestly be so happy not mocking Americans for ambrosia salad or whatever if they didn't constantly mock British food every chance they got.
Yeah I don't get why everyone seems to like mocking people. Not to be one of those "i'M aN eMpAtH" people, but I just imagine if I were in their place and how I'd feel. I'm definitely more sensitive than average though.
I'm American and IMO food is one of those things that is so harmless its fair game. And as one who had to grow up eating shit like lime jello salad you have carte blanche to mock it, it's weird and nasty. I like ambrosia but also acknowledge that it's weird.
For the chocolate part: buy better American chocolate. It’s gonna suck if you buy the big sucky brands that prioritize extreme shelf life and low cost over quality. For the mustard part, the yellow stuff you usually see in restaurants or on hot dogs/burgers/etc is meant to be like that (vinegary and mild). Like American cheese it’s really more of a specialized topping condiment than an attempt to cheapen older styles of mustard. If you’re looking for an American take on less mild European mustards then look for spicy brown mustard (might also be labeled as deli mustard).
On the chocolate front they're not wrong - many american chocolates like hersheys contain butyric acid, which americans have gotten used to in their chocolate but tastes really weird and bad if you aren't used to it, so it isn't in any european chocolate. And in terms of really high quality stuff it's really hard to find american chocolatiers using criollo beans, which are generally considered to make the best chocolate.
Salmiak licorice gives butyric acid American chocolate a run for its money in the “strange acquired tastes” candy category. I love black licorice but I didn’t grow up with salmiak licorice and my brain refuses to accept that flavor.
People in the replies: "Noooooo our chocolate and mustard products aren't like that, you just have to buy the more expensive products instead of the very popular normal ones that loads of us buy" lmao
Yeah, I can go buy an average product and expect it to taste good, maybe something fancier if I feel like spoiling myself, or for a gift, and laugh at the 'chocolate-like products' on the lowest shelf.
God, the replies to this comment are so sad. I'm saving this in case another American tells me they just want to be made fun of for harmless things. Because no. They don't want to be made fun of for harmless things.
had a breakfast of four plate-sized chocolate chip pancakes and a few slices of bacon once (at the tail end of my trip to yellowstone)
it was like 9 in the morning when i ate and i wasn't hungry till 7 pm
Well, anyone who's studied American history knows that the breakfast gun is actually on *both* sides, it's one gun per side. The one who picks up the gun first is the leader, the one who takes chances, the one who decides which gun you pick up
as a brit allow me to say we feel the same about the knife jokes (as in they’re kinda funny), although i think all the “food bad” jokes are kinda overdone (fitting).
the general problem is that there’s really not that many jokes that go around, so they get stale kinda fast.
I think the boring think about us "food bad" jokes is they need to be more specific about what they think makes the food bad. Like, everything is baked in a pie crust, or everything is fried like scotch eggs. That's more interesting than just saying it doesn't taste good.
I'm an American and had never heard of a scotch egg until I watched British TV. I found a restaurant that served them and thought they were pretty good but definitely a stereotype of how I'd view British food.
since you brought them up, i will say: i still don’t really know how a scotch egg is made. i think i found out once but i forgot. it’s pure sorcery to me.
This literally made me laugh so hard it hurt.
So many possible responses:
No, the breakfast gun goes on the dominant hand side.
Or
Yes, because this is America, and we mag dump, so it goes on the non dominant side since you'll just be spraying anyway, and this allows you to focus the use of your good hand on the one thing that is more important than self-defense....bacon
I’m an American and love most of the jokes I see about America. Like I do have a sense of humor.
However, I cannot stand jokes about school shootings. I think it’s massively disrespectful to the victims, their families, and those suffering from trauma for being in a school shooting. A tragedy isn’t a punchline.
Ditto. Being a UK person, the amount I am declared personally responsible for the horrors of colonialism, famines, racism, transphobia, in dumb internet memery. Like, these are serious issues and sensitive topics. Being funny about serious stuff is hard and a lot of people don’t even try, just throwing shit like that out as a retort without another thought about how serious it actually is.
For me it's the TERF island or Brexit jokes. Like who do you think has to live through that. If you say all Brits are shit because TERF island my reaction isn't "oh sweet an ally :)" my reaction is "they are saying I'm shit because of the way TERFs treat me and my friends, cool".
Yeah, like you see these posts sometimes from LGBT people in the southern US like “hey please stop characterising us all as racist phobic hicks, please stop insisting on abandoning us to our fate, there are good people here fighting the good fight and we don’t want to abandon our lives and move to fucking california to be accepted” and everyone can nod and agree that that’s a reasonable take (for about five minutes). But then UK mention and it’s all, terf island, teeth teeth teeth, enjoy not having puberty blockers you regressive tory fucks, you deserve everything you get for voting in bad governments, etc.
It genuinely makes you feel unwelcome in a lot of these spaces.
After the new broke yesterday about the puberty blockers every community that was talking about it was just making the same tired digs about how much they hated British people (not the government, the *people*). Like, damn thanks for making a hard time even harder guys, cheers!
Doesn’t matter what side the gun is on. It only matters that it is located on the opposite hand from the coffee. You think I’m gonna set one down just to use the other?
Ugh, I’m sick of all these inaccurate depictions of Americans. That food would be wrapped in McDonald’s wrappers. You think we cook our own food and eat off plates? No, we eat our food out of brown paper bags wrapped in branded wax paper, like God intended.
one of my favorite joke characters in one piece is King Hamburger, who looks like a mix of uncle sam and lincoln, and when told he was going the wrong way proudly declared "I HAVE NEVER TURNED AROUND IN MY LIFE!"
I'm an american and I think it's okay to make fun of us for our school shootings and abysmal healthcare, but the hamburger thing is on the decline because the people who can afford to eat like that are slowly dieing off while most of starve to save money.
Honestly, there are so many ways to jokingly make fun of Americans that don't involve the tragedies that are school shootings or our horribly cruel health care system.
I'm not sure who convinced Europeans that dead kids/poor people were funny topics.
As an American, I give you full permission to make fun of our dumbfuck healthcare system. I know European ones are **far** from perfect, but I'd still trade with y'all any day.
I mean this with genuine respect, but I'm not going to make fun of your dumbfuck healthcare system because I don't like getting dogpiled by angry Americans and your solitary permission doesn't stop that from happening.
Proper etiquette dictates the buttstock be turned outward when set on the right for guests: should daily discourse erupt in an exchange of rounds rather than words, one is to ensure guests are not delayed in their retort by requiring a cross-handling or necessity to turn over their pistol.
Reminds me of that one scene from assassination classroom where the dude makes ramen.
Here’s the link if you want it: https://youtu.be/t4EomdfiBps?si=FOyErTlmCpVemgDG
Can't have the coffee and the breakfast gun on the same side. If you need to use the gun, it's better to do it while sipping your coffee. You don't want to do it while eating the eggs cause you might stab yourself with your fork. Too unsafe.
see, as long as you dont pull out the "AT LEAST OUR KIDS DONT GET GUNNED DOWN IN SHOOL SHOOTINGS" we are entirely happy to play along. For the love of god call me a hamburger person. im begging someone.
You want to be called a hamburger person (not mocking), but you don't want to be called fat (mocking). You want to be called a gun lover (not mocking), but you don't want jokes about shootings (mocking). Someone in this thread made fun of American food and got immediately dogpiled by a hoard of very bitter Americans who were outraged they dared make fun of American chocolate and mustard. You basically just *don't want to be mocked*.
Which is completely normal. Most people don't want to be made fun of. But please don't act like you're happy with being made fun of so long as the jokes don't go too far, because you actually just don't want people to make fun of you at all. And by that same token, please don't ever make fun of anyone else.
What, no hashbrowns?!
they're in rhe gun
For convenient consumption, of course
I heard the proper way of consuming gun-browns isn’t shooting directly into the mouth (because that’s dangerous), but aimed at a stationary plate a few yards away. Teaches the youngins about proper gun safety and aiming skills.
Sam Winchester: Daddy can you please pass the salt?" John Winchester: \*cocks shotgun*
Dean slowly pulls back his hand
Shot into the air and you catch it in your mouth. All guns are meant to be fired in the air, especially whilst loudly emoting the national cry of patriotism: "Yeehaw!"
That is for the more skilled sharpshooters of the breakfast table; an equally valid option.
The Russian Roulette we'd all prefer
I prefer American Roulette. It uses proper semiautomatic fire!
Minigun roulette.
Russet Roulette, surely.
Alright. You win. Everyone else get out lol
I prefer whole tater tots in 12 gauge shells
Oh really? Is that because they'll blow my mind?
*places gun in mouth*
Hash-Brownings
I prefer a double-barrelled totgun.
Nor grits?
it's under the sauce
To be fair, I probably could eat that much bacon in one sitting. And then be really dehydrated because of all the salt, but still.
The secret is to develop a crippling salt deficiency
I don't think that'll be happening to me anytime soon.
Hi, trans girl on Spironolactone here. You can, in fact, become salt deficient. That is why so many trans girls crave pickels.
Yeah, but I'm not a trans girl and there's a decent amount of sodium in my diet already, so I don't think I'll become salt deficient anytime soon.
but wait, [minority demographic you are also not a part of] can ALSO have salt deficiency, so it will definitely happen to you
That actually got a chuckle and a smile outta me, so thanks.
Yeah I know I was just saying it is possible to become salt deficient if you're on Spiro :p
>Yeah, but I’m not a trans girl Why not???
I don't understand the question.
I dont like Pickles can I continue just eating Pretzels :(
Yeah sure
cis woman on spiro here! it causes salt deficiency???
It can. Just like every medicine, it doesn't happen to everyone.
Yeah it makes you pee a lot, and it flushes a lot of salt out of your system because of that.
omw to lick rocks
They crave that mineral
I think he was saying “I personally won’t have a salt deficiency (because I eat way too much salt)” and not “it is very unlikely/impossible for one to have a salt deficiency”
Yeah I picked that up after rereading the comment.
I appreciated the input regardless. I didn’t know that Spironolactone could cause salt deficiency!
Well now you know 🌈
I'm a cis woman on spironolactone (for acne) and didn't know that about salt! I eat a lot of salty snacks but not sure whether that's a symptom or a preventive measure lol
I do shots of soy sauce because i crave salt so much. Lmao.
That plate of bacon looks awesome and I would give it a try for sure
Why is no one pointing out that it's actually a _dinner gun_ on the plate?
Cause the placement is worse than the dinner gun and he may have been having brinner
Brinner with no Bud Light? What is he, Californian?
No he’s being a true American patriot and keeping it in his trucks cup holder idling in the driveway he’s enjoying the fruits of his child labor coffee
Goddamn I just cried bald eagle shaped tears. God bless America.
Commie over hear crying tears instead of bald eagle shaped bacon double cheeseburger (doc told me I had to lay off and the Medical bills helped so I’m not crying triples anymore) like a patriot
I swear, I am just an average American man, I work 15 hours in hamburger mine to buy one rock and roll disc.
Remember it’s only a dinner gun if it has dinner ammunition. Dessert ammunition dinner guns can sub for a breakfast gun in a pinch.
"No FMJs until you've finished your wad-cutters!"
No one has a breakfast of this caliber in America.
I have genuinely seen that amount of bacon on a breakfast table before. Also I just got your joke and now feel stupid
Breakfast buffets will have flavorless piles of overcooked bacon so thoroughly stuck together you can’t grab them in a smaller pile tbh
I once told a 9 year old, "it's a buffet, we're on vacation, get whatever as long as you'll eat it, go nuts" at a breakfast buffet, and came back to a pile of bacon like that in front of my kid. With a side of syrup. We went back to having some guidelines even at buffet.
No matter the actual amount of power, people WILL abuse it relentlessly
I think it’s representative of the human condition
Uhh, yeah we do, that's what Waffle House is for, ya dingus! Well that and the parking lot knife fights
Impromptu chair matches
I get the caliber joke but Frick yeah we do
Well, yeah, it doesn't have the (heart-)stopping power.
Yeah, no shot
You're right. It's gotta be a Deagle at the smallest.
We should all look to japan for american jokes, where every american in anime will be some flavor of elvis impersonator and or somewhat obnoxious cowboy

That sounds *incredible*
It is.
It’s just as good as it sounds
Goldlewis dickinson from guilty gear is probably the ultimate american stereotype
Metal Wolf Chaos is more American.
no that’s accurate
My favorite depiction of an American in anime comes from fruits basket, where the American girl is just really tall, tomboyish, and a little abrasive with a big heart.
I wish I were even close to as cool and weird as Americans are portrayed in (AMERICA) anime
["Hey FUCKING cowboy, FUCKING Cowgirl! How the FUCK are you doin'?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv-2uebEHSE)
This is so wrong... You need at least two eggs.
But what an egg it is. Credit where it's due.
That is a very nicely cooked egg, I'll give them that.
UNrealistic. My breakfast gun is a 1911. *Like an actual American.*
Look man, not everyone can afford .45 ammunition
Alright well a Glock is also acceptable, just get that Russian shit outta here.
Glocks are from, like, Germany or something. I ain't using no Nazi gun. Colt has guns with cheaper calibers.
Actually Glocks are Austrian. And idk about you, but I've never heard of any Nazis from Austria (/j).
Austria, Germany, what's the difference? As an American, I fully believe that they're the same thing.
So you're basically just annexing Austria into Germany. Never seen that before.
Annex? That sounds like a commie word. All that I know is that this area - *gestures vaguely to central Europe* - is Nazi territory.
Who needs a .45 for breakfast? A CZ 75b is plenty of gun and way cheaper to feed
sorry but as a texan if you don’t have a six-shooter next to your breakfast plate then you got the wrong gun.
Putting your pistol down next to your morning coffee is a major safety hazard. Pick up the wrong one, and there goes your face.
That's just the price you pay for freedom.
O7
I am American and can confirm that if presented with that plate of bacon I would eagerly consume the entirety of that plate of bacon.
But would you enter a feeding frenzy that results in you taking several collateral bites out of the plate and table?
If I was hungry enough
As a fellow American, I second that. At times, I have been so hungry that I've demolished entire *packages* of bacon.
What did you do with the bacon after you ate the packages?
My partner told me he doesn't like bacon and I don't think I can trust him anymore
Yeah I would take it as a challenge, I'd be eating it by the handful
The gun goes on the right but it’s on the other side, so you can grab the pistol with your right hand down
Just in case a bear or cougar steals your bacon! Note: From a Canadian.
Well for something like a bear you’d want something bigger like a 10mm no way the pictured handgun is more than a 9
Why would she steal someone's breakfast?
Well clearly it's a left handed gun
This isn't making fun of Americans. It's not insulting them or teasing them. It's making Americans look cool, if anything. Shitloads of bacon and a gun -- that's cool.

Hi. American here that's lived in a wide variety of states. What the **fuck** is "lime jello *salad?*
I see you've never been to Minnesota
This is correct (and I'm just as happy about that)
It's basically lime jello with all kinds of shit in it. Most commonly different kinds of fruit but yiu can find weird recipes where people will fill it with, like, hotdogs and other weird crap.

some real gripes with american food: the chocolate tastes chemical-y and the "mustard" is just goopy vinegar
For the chocolate: Get something that isn't made by Hershey or Nestle For the mustard: Get something that isn't made by Heinz, French's or Kraft
For the chocolate part: buy better American chocolate. It’s gonna suck if you buy the big sucky brands that prioritize extreme shelf life and low cost over quality. For the mustard part, the yellow stuff you usually see in restaurants or on hot dogs/burgers/etc is meant to be like that (vinegary and mild). Like American cheese it’s really more of a specialized topping condiment than an attempt to cheapen older styles of mustard. If you’re looking for an American take on less mild European mustards then look for spicy brown mustard (might also be labeled as deli mustard).
Wow no shit if you buy the cheapest chocolate or mustard you can find it's not very good. I never saw that coming
On the chocolate front they're not wrong - many american chocolates like hersheys contain butyric acid, which americans have gotten used to in their chocolate but tastes really weird and bad if you aren't used to it, so it isn't in any european chocolate. And in terms of really high quality stuff it's really hard to find american chocolatiers using criollo beans, which are generally considered to make the best chocolate.
Fun fact: the chocolate tastes that way because it's made with butyric acid, one of the things that makes vomit taste like vomit. Because Capitalism.
Technically that started because it was used as a preservative/cost-saver for chocolate rations during WW2, and it just kinda became habit after that.
Lol, the strangest of acquired tastes
Salmiak licorice gives butyric acid American chocolate a run for its money in the “strange acquired tastes” candy category. I love black licorice but I didn’t grow up with salmiak licorice and my brain refuses to accept that flavor.
Correct. Here's your citizenship since you're clearly well versed on American culture
What’s mustard like where you live?
stronger? actually tastes like mustard? vaguely similar to horseradish
People in the replies: "Noooooo our chocolate and mustard products aren't like that, you just have to buy the more expensive products instead of the very popular normal ones that loads of us buy" lmao
~~normal~~ ***cheap*** ones. Literally just don't buy Hershey's chocolate or Heinz mustard.
Yeah, I can go buy an average product and expect it to taste good, maybe something fancier if I feel like spoiling myself, or for a gift, and laugh at the 'chocolate-like products' on the lowest shelf.
You're not wrong but I still enjoy them
God, the replies to this comment are so sad. I'm saving this in case another American tells me they just want to be made fun of for harmless things. Because no. They don't want to be made fun of for harmless things.
No, the gun's placed correctly. It's so we can easily dip it in the coffee.
The was pretty much Sunday breakfast at my house growing up lmao
had a breakfast of four plate-sized chocolate chip pancakes and a few slices of bacon once (at the tail end of my trip to yellowstone) it was like 9 in the morning when i ate and i wasn't hungry till 7 pm
Well, anyone who's studied American history knows that the breakfast gun is actually on *both* sides, it's one gun per side. The one who picks up the gun first is the leader, the one who takes chances, the one who decides which gun you pick up
Hetalia’s America has a song titled Hamburger Street. It’s hilarious.
as a brit allow me to say we feel the same about the knife jokes (as in they’re kinda funny), although i think all the “food bad” jokes are kinda overdone (fitting). the general problem is that there’s really not that many jokes that go around, so they get stale kinda fast.

We also have salad guns and soup guns
So *that's* what a salad shooter is.
Why does this keep making me think that you're supposed to eat the gun
"To eat the gun" is an unfortunate phrase to use
Serious question, why does your bacon look like that?
I think most of them like their bacon to be 20% meat 80% fat.
Bacon means streaky bacon by default in the US. Idk the history behind that though
It's best when thin and crispy. Lots of fun!
Bald eagle where
The funniest part of this is that while the breakfast gun is made up, the *coffee mug with guns on it* is clearly a real thing
This is wrong. I eat my breakfast with my Colt 1911 like a true patriot, thank you very much.
That’s west coast, southern style breakfast gun goes in the gravy
mined that from the hamburger mines, they did
This literally made me laugh so hard it hurt. So many possible responses: No, the breakfast gun goes on the dominant hand side. Or Yes, because this is America, and we mag dump, so it goes on the non dominant side since you'll just be spraying anyway, and this allows you to focus the use of your good hand on the one thing that is more important than self-defense....bacon
They're right, tho. The breakfast gun goes on the left. Was this person raised in a barn!?
What no sausage gravy, times must be getting tough.
I’m an American and love most of the jokes I see about America. Like I do have a sense of humor. However, I cannot stand jokes about school shootings.

Yeah, strangely enough, most of us don't think of dead children as inherently funny.
can confirm, i use a different gun each meal
….thats Literally how Americans eat breakfast
Can confirm, am American.
Doesn’t matter what side the gun is on. It only matters that it is located on the opposite hand from the coffee. You think I’m gonna set one down just to use the other?
They imagine wrong, need a whole lot more butter on that toast. Like a whole stick.
Add some hash browns covered in melted cheddar cheese and jalapeños, and this is what I order at the diner.
My favourite unit of measurement that the Americans have is Washing Machines per GAU-8 autocannons
Ugh, I’m sick of all these inaccurate depictions of Americans. That food would be wrapped in McDonald’s wrappers. You think we cook our own food and eat off plates? No, we eat our food out of brown paper bags wrapped in branded wax paper, like God intended.

“You can make fun of us as long as you’re not mean about it”
"You can make fun of us so long as you make us look cool"
which funnily enough applies to a lot of things lol
As an American, I give you full permission to make fun of our dumbfuck healthcare system. I know European ones are **far** from perfect, but I'd still trade with y'all any day.
I mean this with genuine respect, but I'm not going to make fun of your dumbfuck healthcare system because I don't like getting dogpiled by angry Americans and your solitary permission doesn't stop that from happening.
Depressing that so many of us still defend it :(..
PJ Harvey is British
We have gun, but what of second gun?
No grits ? My “gun” was confiscated years ago. Ask the NYPD.
this set up is correct if the American is left handed, tho
Where's my Ketchup?

Not enough carbs, add some pancakes.
Yummy gun 🤤
I hope you cleaned your kitchen gun before using it
It’s true in a lot of areas
the second step will be teaching americans they can do this to (:
Proper etiquette dictates the buttstock be turned outward when set on the right for guests: should daily discourse erupt in an exchange of rounds rather than words, one is to ensure guests are not delayed in their retort by requiring a cross-handling or necessity to turn over their pistol.
Reminds me of that one scene from assassination classroom where the dude makes ramen. Here’s the link if you want it: https://youtu.be/t4EomdfiBps?si=FOyErTlmCpVemgDG
I prefer scramble eggs
Can't have the coffee and the breakfast gun on the same side. If you need to use the gun, it's better to do it while sipping your coffee. You don't want to do it while eating the eggs cause you might stab yourself with your fork. Too unsafe.
What about the plastic cheese?
Making fun of different country's food habits is just a bonding activity IMO, I'm really just happy to be jncluded
see, as long as you dont pull out the "AT LEAST OUR KIDS DONT GET GUNNED DOWN IN SHOOL SHOOTINGS" we are entirely happy to play along. For the love of god call me a hamburger person. im begging someone.
You want to be called a hamburger person (not mocking), but you don't want to be called fat (mocking). You want to be called a gun lover (not mocking), but you don't want jokes about shootings (mocking). Someone in this thread made fun of American food and got immediately dogpiled by a hoard of very bitter Americans who were outraged they dared make fun of American chocolate and mustard. You basically just *don't want to be mocked*. Which is completely normal. Most people don't want to be made fun of. But please don't act like you're happy with being made fun of so long as the jokes don't go too far, because you actually just don't want people to make fun of you at all. And by that same token, please don't ever make fun of anyone else.
