It's not a real place unless it's from the Place region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling area.

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 58 points 9 months ago

Nice 👍

Nice, France 🫠🔫

Nice, US 💀

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 52 points 9 months ago

I think it was a french writer who said "France is a paradise, populated with people who think it's a hell".

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 34 points 9 months ago

Because it isn't the place that is the problem, it are the people.

And France is full of French people.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 28 points 9 months ago

And as if that wasn't bad enough, they all insist on speaking french.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 19 points 9 months ago

I'm sorry. We really tried.
Sincerely,
Germany

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

I currently live in france and can confirm. Full of french people speaking french. I told my kids that it's a made up language and everybody is actually just pretending that they understand what each other is saying.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

everybody is actually just pretending that they understand what each other is saying

Oh no no you got it wrong! We don't actually listen to what the others are saying, we don't care!

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

Like... Why name your language after the classic breakfast food "French Toast"? Absolutely deranged.

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

My only problem is the language. 🤢🤮 Every French person I've met was cool

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

Does anyone "get" this? Why would anyone be mad at France?

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago

Is that how the joke against france begin? Or is it something else?

[-] GenderNeutralBro 5 points 9 months ago

Definitely not the start of the joke, but I couldn't tell you where it did start. I think it long predates the internet. I would guess that it goes back to cultural conflict between British and French aristocracy in centuries past, but at this point I think it's very far removed from the origins.

In the US, I think using France as the butt of random jokes got a boost during George W. Bush's presidency because France publicly opposed the US's invasion of Iraq, which caused some absurd and petty reactions from US politicians, like renaming "French fries" to "freedom fries".

I have no idea why Disney decided to change that line. Perhaps it has more to do with the suggestion of interracial partnerships than with France specifically? Either way, Jesus Christ, Disney.....

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

That is certainly.... weird.

Oeuf -> öf

Oeufs -> ö

Papa always says "don't trust anyone who speaks a language where adding a plural suffix makes the word shorter" and I live by that rule

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Is that a germanic language you are poking fun at?

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago
[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

You must be high. I of course knew that, it was obviously the other one I was asking about.

[-] sexy_peach@feddit.de 8 points 9 months ago

It's just another level of the meme with happy face with place, japan.

It's funny to some to say that france or the uk are bad.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

But we all know one is actually bad

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

People think France is bad, but they have objective proof about the UK.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Le Baguette are probably the reason.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

So people hate France because they make amazing bread? I don't get it.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

I suppose so.
I like le baguette. Tastes very good.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I'm american... not mad at france. Because I'm not a weirdo republican who considers them effeminate for some weird reason. I was making an assumption based on experience that not many of those types are on Lemmy. At least not in the communities I haven't blocked.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah and if you went to France with that attitude, I bet you didn't have a particularly bad time. (Paris is a little more complicated though, parisians have zero patience, especially with tourists, which does include french tourists)

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I had a great time in paris. I didn't find the stereotype to be true. I only had one person be rude to me... Whereas in New York, people can be quite rude for almost no reason

[-] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

I refuse to believe fr*nce is a real place

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

It's between Wyoming and Wakanda. Or you can take the secret entrance from downtown Atlantis.

[-] BruceLee@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Messieurs, dames, je ne vous permets pas.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 3 points 9 months ago

Je vous demande de vous arrêter.

[-] tilcica@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

we need a version of r/shitposting (before 100k subs) here and i dont know how to make one or if one already exists

[-] Kornblumenratte@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

There are five search results for "shitposting" for me, with !shitposting@lemmy.ml being the most active with 199 user/month

[-] Snoopy@jlai.lu 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Edit : Someone explained the meme to me. Sorry I often miss the point with memes. X)

Anyways, thank for helping us fighting climate change. ☺️👍
