America has the cheapest consumer electronics and I need those to avoid life so…

I briefly lived in Japan and bought myself a $200 chromebook before I left so I could have a personal device that I didn't really care too much about. When browsing through the electronics section of a Japanese department store one day I saw my exact same chromebook on sale for the equivalent of $600. Boggled my mind.

There are probably more vampires in Europe, and America deffo has more Aliens and Bigfoots. It's really a toss up.

Easily the worst-tasting condiment I have ever tasted.

It also goes by "hotdog sauce" and "hamburger sauce".

Also Europe needs to stop adding corn to everything "American". It's 2023. You've all been to America. You can Google this stuff. There's no corn on pizza.

One nice thing about America is everything being open all the time. Not something you really appreciate until you're trying something to find something to eat in Switzerland on an Easter Sunday.

And I don't know if it has the best supermarkets but it definitely has the most comprehensive.

I almost considered making a long post about the drawbacks of Europe, but this is probably my number one two problem with it. (Number one: EVERY 15 MINUTES, that stupid church across the street rings its stupid bell EVERY SINGLE DAY from early in the morning until late at night! :aaaaa:)
You can't buy things on Sunday on Germany (and probably other places in Europe). I mean it seems better now, but almost all grocery stores are closed, tons of other things are closed, it's not great. Very few things (if any) are open late. No 24 hour places.
Europe is where convenience goes to die.

Asia tho...

You also can't get nearly the same variety of food as in the US. I can always find whatever foreign ingredient I want.
It's a lot harder outside the US. And it's often weird or somehow wrong.

Cheese rolling has no recorded deaths but it does injure a third of it's participants - sometimes seriously.



They are chasing after a nine pound wheel of Double Gloucester (which is the prize!). Probably wouldn't kill you unless dropped on your head from a great height.

It's made out of Americans, when you insult it you're basically just insulting yourself.


Personally I'd go with Europe as apparently it has witches in candy cane houses, wolves that dress up as grandma's and try and eat you, and houses with chicken legs, and all that sort of awesome metal stuff.

Meanwhile US apparently just has extremely shy bigfoots and boring old aliens. Seems pretty lame TBH.

Two of my favorite condiments have that color: big mac sauce and fry sauce

But they're awesome so it must not be either.

Doesn't really matter as easy to homebrew either.

You can go to a store and buy weed in Barcelona but its a secret club so you have to like show up to this completely nondescript building and knock twice and then three times and ask for Sheila. Its p. cool and the weed is good, but there are secret police who will fine the poo poo out of you if they catch you, so yoou dont teeeeeeeeeechnically have to smoke the weed there, but its encouraged. I ripped a bong by myself and then wandered Park Guell which was :discourse:
