A severe thunderstorm or a tornado or both idk

Midwesterners look at severe weather the same way lactose intolerant people look at drinking milk

It's gonna happen anyways and it's not gonna kill most of us. However there's no ice cream of severe weather, so having severe weather isn't worth getting sick for but you don't eat severe weather…..

I'm from America and I use elderflower syrup/juice, mostly for allergies though. But it might just be my healthy mom so that's why I know about it? idk lol
(It would either be syrup or concentrate. Because syrup doesn't just mean the maple syrup you have on pancakes. But concentrate works too because it is a stronger tasting liquid that isn't good by its self, so you mix it with water to make it less concentrated. I hope that helps!)

Interesting, thanks! I usually drink elderflower concentrate mixed up with sparkling water as a soda or something, I think it's really good!

I dog sheds so frickin much I just brushed a full groceries bag of hair off him plus some that ended up on the floor plus we have another dog that has started shedding but that one wasn't patient enough for me to put the loose hair into a bag I just had to vacuum it up afterwards

@Pickles group

Someone tell me I'm not going crazy and that Walmart not only used to be open twenty four hours (or at least closed at midnight) and that there's supposed to be a fabric/crafts section

@Pickles group

In other news, if you're wondering why Walmart carts never get fixed, it's because no wrench fits the frickin bolt thing (we checked)

@Pickles group

Guys most countries have a food thats nasty but the closest we have is twinkies and the walmart cookies with cute seasonal sprinkles. Are we failing at this?

@Trix

But McDonald's was founded in the US. (And the McDonalds in other countries do have different foods.) Also, I don't think we're really in a position able to make the argument that food in the US is good because we live in the US. We've grown up on that food, the same way people in other countries have grown up with fish soup. They might hate a hot dog the way we would hate fish soup, for lack of a better example. Point being, we're biased.

@Pickles group

Alright, not Americans, what do you think of our food? (Also it's still mcdonalds the quality, er, lack thereof, is probably the same)

Well… as a not-American who has never actually been to American I can only base this on what I see in movies and commercials and stuff and what my friends have told me. But it seems like… American food is pretty fat and like, greasy? Not very healthy? I'm guessing that not every part of America has this kind of food and that it might only be the common picture of it though. And… hotdogs and hamburgers. I mean, they are good but they don't really taste that much? And you can get tired of them pretty easily. I just gotta say though. KFC. Kentucky Fried freaking Chicken. That stuff is like, divine. There's only 8 KFC restaurants in Sweden and one just recently opened close to where I live. I love that shit. But back to the subject . When my friends came back from America they told me that it was pretty much impossible to find a restaurant that served sallads that were not completely covered in unhealthy dressing and stuff. And a couple of days ago I talked to some Americans on the forum about what they had for breakfast. They said like, Nutella stuff and buns. That is so different from what we have for breakfast in Sweden. My common breakfast would be a slice of traditional Swedish crispbread with butter and a cheese slice (also do you guys have cheeseslicers in America? Cause my mom used to work at a store that sold those and she said that the americans didn't even know what theyr were) and then a glas of milk to go with that. I know a lot of Swedes have oatmeal for breakfast too. Also my friends told me that the portions in America were huge. As I said earlier, this might just be the common picture of it and I have never actually been there.

(Also I gotta defend the fish soup cause my mom makes a hella good fish soup)

Guys I just realized that my aikido-trainer looks like a freaking anime character

@ElderGodSwimwithGamers group

  1. I'm American, and that's pretty accurate. Also, my mom used to have a cheese slicer, but it broke and we haven't seen another one.
  2. I think you and my brother would get along :)
  3. That's amazing!

Deleted user

Come to the dark side. We have cheese slicers.

@Pickles group

Yeah, we have cheese slicers. You can get presliced cheese too, do you guys have that? (genuine curiousity) I hecking love using cheese slicers (and graters).

Deleted user

It is possible to buy presliced cheese in Sweden, but it's not very common and not many people do it. It takes up much more space in the fridge than just buying a block of cheese… We tried it once, but we then bought it at a German store. Just curious… what would a common american dinner look like?
