Oh yes the famous nation of Europe. An entire continent full of nations and different cultures been rendered down to the stereotypes of the occupants of a single city.
Americans need to get out more.
Seriously, what country is this even applicable to? Russia?
France
Still, or 90s France?
Damn struck a nerve huh
I’m not from Europe. But I agree with them. A dumb meme is a dumb meme
And what community did you think you were in again?
imagine if someone is complaining about Americans, and interchangeably refering to Canadians/mexicans/Argentinians…
You damn Americans, always saying sorry with your mate thermos, carnival music mariachis…
If they did it in a meme they posted in a community with shitpost in the name I can’t say I would pay it much mind or take any personal offense to it, no. That seems to be a uniquely European thing
Fuck heads already do because they say “America refers to all of Americas, not The United States.”
But also, as a Californian I apologize a lot and listen to mariachi music. You know that states can be culturally as different as nations, right?
Thanks for clearly stating why the world makes fun of American stupidity
You know that states can be culturally as different as nations, right?
no. they are not, and you only say that, because you have no idea how different cultures can be. California and NY are still American, speak English, eat similar food, do similar sports… whatever difference between California and NY is nothing compared Spain and France.
Yeah let’s all just ignore the utter ignorance that this image demonstrates.
It’s in a community with shitpost in the name I don’t think you’re supposed to take it seriously bud
… Did you forget the /s?
No, actually. I think it would unironically be better to get all your calories and nutrition from bread, cheese, and sausage than to have a diet consisting of any variety of high-sugar, ultra-processed food.
Also breakfast is completely optional and its promotion as “the most important meal of the day” is a scam to sell more cereal, milk, and eggs. I will die on that hill.
My hill to die on is that breakfast is the only meal that you can work the calories off all day. Eat what you want for breakfast but have a lighter lunch and even lighter evening meal.
Well technically you’re burning the same number of calories regardless of the time of day they were consumed, and two meals per day is a lot easier to keep at 2000 calories (as a rule of thumb - different for everybody) than three meals per day.
Personally I like to keep the digestive process dormant for as long as possible. Eating breakfast makes me hungrier throughout the day, so I end up snacking more than I otherwise would. I’ve never been a breakfast eater though so I’m pretty well wired not to break fast until lunch.
Edit: also heavy foods require rest and digestion that I do not have time for most mornings
Also breakfast is completely optional
Yes for some, no for others? When I was a kid I hated having breakfast. My stomach would feel weird if I ate within the first two or three hours of being awake. But now, I need something. Nothing heavy. Some toast and peanut butter is good enough. If not, I get sick to my stomach. I would assume I’m not the only one who is like this.
aha, hence why I said optional. If you want/need it, have it. If you don’t want or need it, it doesn’t actually harm you in any universally applicable way to just wait until lunch.
Valid point. touché
This is also the reason why Metamucil doesn’t sell in Europe. Seriously: just looking at the left picture gives me constipation.
(I understand that the pic is a joke, but anyone who has a coffee and a fag after breakfast can attest to their wonderful laxative powers.)
C’mon, your version of that is literally fentanyl
Fuck, that one on the right looks so good, but only missing a croissant.
FAKE NEWS! The cigarette packs are now all black.
Otherwise spot on.
And it should be a pack of gitanes.
Once I started skipping breakfast, I felt more awake in the morning. Not only that, but I had more time to get ready for work. My real problem is how to consume less calories, not more.
Drugs are not food, and with the exception for a few countires, drugs are pretty universal. Not eating anything for breakfast can actually be a healthier choice han doing so. But the land of the obese would understand.
Is that a pack of Marlboro cigarettes? Every real European knows that a proper coffee & cigarettes breakfast requires Gauloises.
It’s the extra tar that makes the Gailoises so smoooooooth…
Came here to say the same thing. Malboro and a Zippo? GTFO!

How DARE you to include Nutella in that American stuff!
Almost spit my cigarette in my coffee in disgust.
It’s 50% fat, 50% sugar and disgusting so I get the confusion. But it’s indeed Italian.
There’s nothing wrong with fat, though.
There is a lot wrong with palm oil that has nothing to do with your waistline, and that’s what composes most of Nutella.
Depends on the type of fat. Some fats are really unhealthy, like in American food. Fats in fish are healthy.
Algae fats too
So are nut fats
I’m a fan of fat nuts
Gottem
Fish was an example, there are way more food sources with healthy fats than fish and nuts but in general the American highly processed “food” is full of bad fats and worst form of sugars.
i think you’re confusing statesians who can’t cook with statesians who can
And ramen is Japanese.
All commonly eaten in America, granted, but it’s weird to call it “American” food.
It’s actually a really healthy breakfast because coffee has a lot of physical health benefits and both coffee and a cigarette help against a mental breakdown when you wake up and realize how fucked the world is.
The world is so fucked no amount of coffee and cigarettes help anymore. Ketamine on the other hand…
I do ketamine every weekend but during the week coffee is what motivates me to come out of bed.
no thanks we’ve all seen what constant k-holing can do to a person
We have?
Elon Musk famously abuses Ketamine to an insane degree.
Makes me never wanna try the stuff.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have to Google who that is.
Speaking for America, we’re deeply sorry about him getting a platform.

Nicotine might help with short term anxiety symptoms, but addictions of all kinds tend to make anxiety worse overall and dependent on the addictive substance to not be anxious
Yes, that’s why you should never skip your cigarette with breakfast :)
(I quit smoking luckily, I’m just joking around)
Sometimes I wish smoking wasn’t so bad for you.
Nothing hit as good as smoking a cig after a stressful day at work and unwinding.
I wouldn’t even care about the health hazards at this point, given the future we’re all looking at, if smoking didn’t make you stink I’d start back today
Nicotine, by itself, really isn’t that much more addictive than caffeine.
As a smoker, that’s a fucking lie.
Did you not read my comment? I said nicotine by itself, not cigarettes.
Vapes are addictive af, what are you talking about?
I’m way more addicted to vapes than cigarettes. Only reason I ever touch smokes is when I can’t afford a 30$ vape and can only swing 7$ for a pack to get by.
Go with an open system and a bottle of eliquid. More of an upfront investment, but with a refillable system you can adjust your nicotine levels much easier, and it’s significantly cheaper in the long run.
Not physically addictive, no. The physical addiction to nicotine lasts 3-7 days, while caffeine is 7-14.
It’s not the nicotine that has you truly hooked, it’s the habit. It’s the fact that it’s always on you and you can often hit it as much as you want.
Back before shitty closed disposable systems became popular, people regularly dropped to 0 nicotine without any trouble besides some cravings for a few days (which were about the equivalent of caffeine withdrawals).
Have you stopped smoking or drinking coffee? One is way harder, let me tell you. They are both habits, but nicotine is way more mentally pervasive.
You milage may vary but stopping smoking was way harder than coffee. For me, personally.
Whilst you’re kind of joking (I hope!) on the health benefits, I would say that deriving some enjoyment from all manner of small pleasures is a pretty good way to keep one’s mental sanity.
I wasn’t joking about the health benefits of coffee. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTVE5iPMKLg
I was thinking that the joke part was about the ciggie rather than the coffee.
Yeah, there are no heath benefits when it comes to smoking. It’s just a way to get some feel good chemicals in our brain which we only need because of the addiction and how fucked the world is right now.
Also, nicotine is self-medication for a lot of undiagnosed ADHD folks. So, there are health benefits. Far outweighed by the health drawbacks though. At least for smoking to get the sweet, sweet nicotine.
To be fair, cigarettes and coffee are probably healtier than all those foodproduct items on the left.
Junk food is bad? Yeah, sure. Cigarettes are healthier than junk food? No way. Either you’re a guerilla cigarette advertisement or you’ve gone off the deep end.
Either you’re a guerilla cigarette advertisement or you’ve gone off the deep end.
There’s also the third possibility of making a joke …
Jokes? On my shitpost community? 😡
Who do these people think they are, making jokes on shitposts? I’d report myself to the mods if that was an option!
It’s more likely than you think.
My comment was so serious, one could say it was super serious.
sips a cigarrette and take a drag off coffee
Fair I suppose, though it doesn’t come across well online, especially given the fact that it lines up with the rhetoric cigarette companies have been trying to push for decades
Ask your Doctor if c/lemmyshitpost is right for you! Side affects may include absurdity, nausea, diarrhea and gastrointestinal distress.
Yeah, lemmyshitpost, not lemmyshitcomment. Besides, since when is parroting nicotine propaganda considered shitposting?
Why don’t you just accept you missed a joke and laugh with us
Because as someone who watched his grandfather suffer for ten years from COPD and chronic bronchitis brought on by smoking and who suffers from constant struggles to breathe due to a lifetime of secondhand smoke, I don’t find actual fucking nicotine propaganda to be funny.
I don’t know, my tummy hurts more after eating a cigarette than junk food.
The choice is lung cancer and heart disease or diabetes and heart disease. At least us europeans die looking good /s.
I still think you have better odds living longer with the coffee and cigs. I’ve seen far more elderly smokers than elderly fatsos.
I’ve seen far more elderly smokers than elderly fatsos
How is that relevant? Junk food doesn’t make you fat
Everyone knows that it’s dangerous minorities that make you fat!
The burger is definitely healthier than the cigarette.
Coffee for the win though… all those complex alkaloids and polyphenols…
agreed 100/100
To be fair smoking is already much less common in most of europe.
As a Scottish lass, I’m going to shut my fucking mouth.
Don’t worry, Americans are still up a hill trying to find a wild haggis.
Joke’s on them, haggis is illegal in the US
They’re slippery wee cunts. The trick is to chase them anticlockwise round the hill so their short leg is on the downhill side. Then they fall over when they try to run.
This is the Parisian breakfast. Nothing compared to the Lyonnais breakfast
Well I’m definitely going to need a a Parisian breakfast after having all of that
Damn I want to go to Lyon now
Cheese is a snack food/dessert as far as I know. Hence, doubt (x)
Beaujolais ? Closer to Lyon… 😁
Oooh le saucisson aux pistaches dans la broche. Gourmand !
Fou de fafa
Surely they don’t eat that much cheese as part of their breakfast
You’re right, they don’t.
The other two cheese platters are out of shot.
This picture HAS to be AI. The cheese wheels are getting progressively smaller. 2 cups of wine. The sauce bowl is barely bigger than a grape ñ. That purple sausage? in the middle looks like a turd. The pickles in the edge are even smaller than the grapes. Sausage baked into pound cake for breakfast seems odd.
The cheese wheels are getting progressively smaller
Different cheeses are different sizes. I’m no cheese master but I think it’s a comté, a brie, and a Camembert in order of size.
2 cups of wine
Two glasses for two people? You share a cheese plate. We aren’t selfish fat idiots in Europe.
The sauce bowl is barely bigger than a grape
What do you mean, its almost the size of all the grapes together? We don’t drown all our food in gallons of sauce like mad men. The food itself actually has taste opposed to whatever McD serves for breakfast.
That purple sausage
Look up a Saucisse Sèche d’Auvergne. They do look like that.
The pickles in the edge are even smaller than the grapes.
It’s cornichons. They are that small.
Sausage baked into pound cake for breakfast seems odd
It’s bread. Not cake. Bread and sausage is extremely common together. I’m not French and haven’t seen this variation but in and of itself this would be a stupid indicator of AI.
Reverse image search shows it 3 years ago. Not AI.
Independent of whether this is AI or not, this is how such plates look like. It’s sad if that is so far out of someone’s reality they have to call the AI card.
No offense. I’m sending this from a place where a meal like this would unfortunately cost me at least 5 of my kidneys 🥹
Don’t compare all of Europe to France! The French love their despresso, that’s on them.
They clearly have not been to a Swedish breakfast buffet.
