dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

To me is the obsession with soda, I've heard americans say the don't like water because they "don't like the taste" so they have to be drinking soda. In fairness I think it was ethan klein so

I’ve seen in this thread now Americans don’t like water but also carry around large water bottles and drink too much water

It's true though. I'm a half-gallon water bottle carrier type American, and there are people I know personally who I'm pretty sure haven't had a sip of straight water in years. A lot of people use those flavored drink powder packets just to get water down each day, because they tell me straight water makes them gag.

I know people who don't enjoy drinking plain water but this seems ridiculous lol

From what I know of American water supplies (Flint) it might be a very reasonable reaction tbh...

Nah, definitely a real thing here. I know a few people that say the same

A large amount of places in America have shitty tasting tap water, to be fair

My dad never drank water and he was from Peru. Never ever saw him drink a glass of anything other than coke, wine, coffee or juice
