Oh it’s real and no matter where you live the English have probably pillaged it for spices they never use.
Spices they don't use?
What do you think tea is made of?

I’ve heard that myth before, never see any evidence in favor of it, not that I can be arsed to look.
What myth?
UK gets free dental care through the NHS. Just not aesthetics.
-
I've not researched this, but I've heard it's because mouth health is prioritised over aesthetics.
That basically means: no whitening.
Teeth are naturally yellowish
wrote last edited by [email protected]It's also because Americans will spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures for their preteens. Braces are not as common elsewhere. Europeans think a lot of Americans look like they have dentures because of this and veneers.

There's a lot of people who can't afford dental care tbh. If you're unemployed/disabled/whatever you qualify for free care, and if you're in a good job you can afford it. If youre on minimum wage trying to make ends meet you dont qualify and cant afford it.

You had beans on toast?! We had to wake up an hour before we went to bed and all we had to eat was cold poison! Times were tough in Yorkshire
You ad a bed!? Luxury!

You had a bed? Such luxuries, we had to sleep in the turnip fields while they were being ploughed.

Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I'd gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy

Don't the British have better teeth than the US Americans?
Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.

Southern cuisine would be salt beef, white bread and Yorkshire tea.
I read somewhere that British people eat like they're still living through the Blitz

Ok so here's the thing: If America lost the war, America would likely be akin to Australia. The UK used it's North American colonies like they did Australia (that is, a place to transport convicts) so you'd basically be like Australia in that regard. You'd likely be like...cold weather Aussies.
Also:
- Australia would be...different? Maybe Dutch?
- We might not have had a French Revolution, or it may have been different, because a lot of the ideas from the American Revolution inspired the French Revolution.
- Since the French Revolution have rise to the idea of the modern nation state and Napoleon, we'd not have a lot of countries.

also, dentistry is more accessible in the UK; free treatment is available to a bigger chunk of the population, and private dental care is cheaper as well.
So, in terms of severe complications stemming from lack of dental care, the US is worse, but the obsession with straightening & whitening means that people who have got it together enough to appear in the media generally have superficially nicer teeth.
It's like most things in America - if you're doing ok then it's great, and if you're not then the rest of the country just pretends you don't exist.

That truly is the US in a nutshell. The US is fantastic if you are in the top 20% (and you have zero empathy for people you don't know), otherwise this country sucks.

It was one lot of Brits against another lot of Brits anyway. Basically one lot looked like the picture above and the other dressed like cowboys. Not during the war obviously. Afterwards when they went West and hammered the native people.

Tbf some of those former territories aren’t in very good socioeconomic shape. If we’d ended up like Canada that would have been winning the lottery, but plenty of those other former colonies have plenty of problems like classist India.

Also, Africa.

Africa (and the various tribes and countries) has been fucked over by various European countries for centuries. Can’t lay this one solely on the English.

hey, you broke it, you bought it. Now, maybe they should be doing something to fix this whole problem in the ex-British Mandate of Palestine they cause

wrote last edited by [email protected]Don't quote me on this but America winning the war played a big part in the spread of democracy around the globe. If they hadn't, its not clear the monarchy would have ever fallen.
