It's exhausting having Europeans assume that because I live here I A) endorse everything about it with every fiber of my being and B) have no ability to conceptualize any other way of living at all, much less a better one than my current American lifestyle.

It's true we don't have a quaint medieval village on an island, but we never had invading Huns or something force us to live on a postage stamp of land and make a quaint little village there.

Are you even living if you can't smell your neighbor's farts?

At least they're not smelling everyone's car's farts

Any American who lives in Hurricane prone areas can't comprehend this lasting for more than a decade at best before it is washed away clean.

We have very few hurricanes in Europe. Most of these houses are hundreds of years old.

That being said, rising sea levels could destroy this and lots of other towns for good.

How do you number the streets? /s

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

By the metre, from the centre or the post office, accordingly. Makes sense.

It's easier than laying washing machines down in the street or drawing football fields on the road

This is a joke about Manhattan road/street numbers.

How the chicken-choking fuck was anyone meant to know that?!? 😂

I meant numbering streets in grid systems, not houses along a street.
