No such thing as an American flag

[–] enbee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

False, there are several. Canada, US, Mexico, Brazil, etc are all American countries. So flying a Chilean flag is flying an American flag.

"Mexico" isn't a country. They're the United Mexican States.

It's not. I'm pointing out that you're doing the same thing you're complaining about.

There is no other country on Earth that has "America" in the name other than the United States of America. This whole "but but but they're all America" is just some terminally online crap.

You know what someone from Mexico identifies as? Mexican. Not a "United Statesian" despite that being the official name of the country.

Someone from America is an American. They're also a North American. Someone from Brazil is a Brazilian. They're also a South American. Someone from France is French. They're also European.

The only time someone gets confused about that concept though is when it's the USA for some reason. And only online.

This is so peak 🥹

They're an idiot, so it's not surprising. They probably vibe coded an auto-replier, and don't even read the messages personally.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably, yeah.

It's just such a big pet peeve of mine online.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I don't have pet peeves. I have major psychotic fucking hatreds.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Are you skimming on every message i send? How much time do you have to waste? Lmao

[–] Epp@lemmus.org -3 points 4 days ago

Good question. I've never vibe coded before - after all, I got my MSc from the same university as Linus Torvalds - but maybe I should give it a try to create an auto-skimmer 🤔 Roflmao

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today -1 points 4 days ago

My point exactly
