Seeing people through movies vs tourists.
Gotta be more specific. Scot, Irish, English or Welsh?
How British people see British people
Are… are Brits the Americans of Europe???
Where do you think Americans learned to be so cultured?
Which Americans are we talking? Because a Yooper, Scots-Irish Appalachian, Cajun Louisianan, and some poor bastard from Baker California have little in common. Hell I’m a Southern Californian Redneck and frankly if I have to interact with my Northern Californian ilk I’m stabbing someone and dumping their corpse in an open mine shaft.
All of them I think? The Anglo Saxon culture still dominates and founded the basis of American culture itself.
While that may be true it’s very much in the same way that Roman culture is the basis and founding of Modern Romantic cultures. It’s to degrees and the more derived and hybridized the individual cultures are the more distant they become, not even accounting for cultural drift by time alone.
But I will also note that I don’t think the US has a united culture and what is often seen as a Pan American culture is moreso a side effect of the post World Wars migration, the migrations of the great depression/dust bowl, and the yuppies migrating about creating a rough amalgam culture that often out populates the older more divergent regional cultures. Basically if you think of a cultureless suburbanite that’s the thing I’m talking about. Also I think mass media reinforced the whole thing.
depends on which brit we’re talking
yes.
familiarity breeds contempt
If you can do a reasonably standard English accent, Americans will mentally add 20 IQ points to how intelligent they perceive you to be.
I once met a woman that was in her late 20s. Worked in tech for 3 years in Prague, and had a pretty TV style British accent.
She was from the Midwest. Spent 3 years in Prague and visited the UK like 3 times, then moved back to Chicago. Insisted she “worked with a lot of Brits and it just stuck.”
Yeah, I’ve worked with a lot of tall people. Didn’t make me grow taller.

You should have worked with small people. That works better.
Can confirm.
Am short and have dragged many coworkers down from their lofty peaks to my dreaded land of needing step ladders.
Also occasionally delving too greedily and too deep.
Unless it’s one of those incomprehensible accents that we can barely comprehend. It’s got to be an RP sounding accent for me to consider adding the IQ points.
It is the same guy though. What a proper suit can do to a person.
How I want to see British people
I mean… I don’t know that ALL British people would look good in that
Unfortunately it’s more like this

In addition to his other talents, this dude has some pipes. He killed it in the 25th anniversary of Les Mis on PBS, a production marred by casting a Jonas brother in an important part, but Matt Lucas was awesome as one of the innkeepers.
Computer says no
That one.
Europeans are right.
Europeans are not wrong.

I only see class. What’s wrong with it?
HgichT is peak culture.
I see them as the conquerors of Ireland and the villans in the majority of global conflicts.
The Celts conquered the Beaker people first. England was conquered by the Normans.
Okay? First commenter is still correct.
Slaps on calculator
How Europeans see Americans.
ERR: DIV/0
They seem very divisibled right now.
Humans are traditionally endurance hunters, running things down.
This should have prevented run-away belly fat storage like that.
The Starch Runner Hypothesis seems more plausible to me.
TIL.
To me, the obvious answer is that humans were omnivores from the start. We have the forward facing eyes of predators, and teeth that can handle tearing and grinding.
similar to gorillas then?
Yeah probably, though more opportunistic than most people probably imagine. They’d likely only hunt when convenient, during migrations or such, and switch to different food sources the rest of the year. That’s how I imagine it at least.

EDIT: Added a spoiler to hide the NSFW content.
Why is the egg NSFW and should we be concerned?
They have a hobby: they get drunk and jump off their hotels’ balconies trying to land in the pool with different degrees of success.

They fall off balconies when drunk on holiday
They don’t fall, they jump trying to land inside the hotel’s pool.
British people are trans and laid flat against tile, got it.
