"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

Good thing we've got so many international allies and are known for being such a stable, reliable economic partner. Now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't read the news in two months and I need to catch up on current events.

The fastest way to have a people turn on it's leaders is for the food supply to be threatened.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Americans turned on their leaders?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 hour ago

Yup. The US is currently deporting a significant portion of it's agricultural workforce, while putting insane tariffs on the countries it imports food from, while also doing major cuts to the government which makes problems like avian flue more likely.

The Trump regime has a very "let them eat cake" approach to the food supply.

Interesting that the orange traitor flooded CA's farms in response to the recent wildfires, while also threatening undocumented farm workers, while also levying taxes across broad swaths of the economy. Seems to me that he's been instructed on actions to take to raise food prices. Hmm...

Has America considered asking Panama for eggs? Or Gaza?

[–] Argyle13@lemmy.world 2 points 22 minutes ago

And they all answered "yes, you can eat our eggs, but not how you would expect"

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 29 points 2 hours ago

Let me see... since new years you have threatened to annex Greenland, had Musk call our finest astronaut retarded, called our Prime Minister retarded, recently Roger Stone called one of our conservative politicians a sick demented asshole on Twitter when said politician asked for the general secretary of NATO to not joke about Trump and Greenland and... oh yeah, Trump and Vance attacked and insulted our dear friend, President Zelenskyj on world wide TV.

So...... how about no? Oh, I'm sorry: no, thank you.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 31 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Ask for 50% mineral rights and a thank you.

[–] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 2 points 59 minutes ago

OOTL... What's with the thank you meme?

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Other countries: "No. Thank you." 🤭🤭🤭🖕🖕🖕

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 36 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

FUCK THAT. Let's see eggs go to $5/each. We need to face the consequences of our collective fucking idiot electoral choices.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

I'm confused as to why people are still buying eggs. I've gotten on fine without them all my life

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 hours ago

They were a relatively cheap, healthy, reliable source of protein. Also, they're delicious.

[–] EaterOfLentils@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Eggs have been a staple poverty food in the US. Frying up one egg can give you your whole day's supply of protein plus a lot of nutrients, and it used to be that it could do that for about 20 cents. No more, though.

[–] muh_shroom@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

…7 grams of protein as a day’s supply? Ok

[–] EaterOfLentils@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Ok I definitely thought they had more. Maybe I'm thinking of a different nutrient. I don't remember. Point is they are nutritious and they used to be cheap.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 3 hours ago

I like making Dutch babies

[–] sinnsykfinbart@lemmy.world 38 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

The Norwegian government will offer eggs, and we will only ask for the state of New York or as we like to call it: Nye Jorvik. The citizens of Nye Jorvik will enjoy all the benefits from a stabile, functioning social democracy.

[–] putainsdetoiles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Can you ask them to throw in New Jersey too?

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

everyone moves to Nye Jorvik

We use the word eggs in German the way yankies use nuts or balls. That said, yes, you can swallow our eggs, dear US government.

[–] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 1 points 58 minutes ago (1 children)

How’d your most recent election go?

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 36 minutes ago

Iirc, they didn't actually elect fascists.

Maybe it's time for Europe to make a Trump-style "deal" with the US for Ukraine

[–] sunfur82@lemmy.ca 42 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Hilarious. The US reaching out to the people they've insulted, threatened or victimized in some way, shape or form and asking them for help. And when they get refused, they'll tell the American people that everyone is being so mean to them.

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 11 points 3 hours ago

That's what happens when the country is led by someone who has never faced consequences fir anything

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 17 points 5 hours ago

No, fuck you.

[–] Billybob22@feddit.uk 6 points 4 hours ago

'Request denied', this is an AI response derived from our 'don't give a damn' American Tech programmers.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 35 points 7 hours ago (18 children)

I don't know if it helps anyone, but you don't need eggs to survive

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly, hamburgers, fries, kfc and pizza are all egg-free. What do they need eggs for, breakfast menu at macdonalds?

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Doesn't KFC use eggs in the batter?
