Serbia!
With some luck, soon it might be free Serbia, since our dictator was never closer to going down

So pond.

Britain is across the pond.

The pond is the Atlantic Ocean.

You're in the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm from the US, I live in France right now. I miss my home, but I fear that there will be no home to return to.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Where in France are you? 👋

From North Carolina in the US, hello to my neighbors around the world! Hope things are better where you live ❤️ :)

[–] josteinsn@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

From Norway. Lived in a handful of countries the last decade or so. Probably going back to Norway this summer. Always a bigger culture shock than going abroad.

[–] dcatdemon@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago

Born in Singapore, living in Norway for the last 14 years.

Third planet after the Sun. My country is the globe!

I'm from Paraná [inb4 "Banana"], Brazil. It's like Romania: similar shape, and also inhabited by a bunch of Latins that people insistently call Poles, but instead of wolves attacking tourists we got tourists trying to hug capybaras.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let's be clear, here: you can't hug the capybaras? It'll be hard, but I can cope with that over time.

Can you sit in an "Adirondack" style chair on a dock as the sun goes down and smoke some bonkers weed with one and watch the day die? Because I kinda feel if no one was around they'd speak up and reveal some crazy poignant fact and change my life.

I may hug one after that. Or before. I'm gonna lose an ear, aren't I?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

At least in theory you could hug a one; they aren't aggressive. You wouldn't lose an ear. But tourists are loud so the 'baras feel like being hunted, and once you get close they run into the water. (It's fun to watch this in parks.)

And even if you do manage to get close... they're wild animals, so full of ticks and fleas. It's a bit unwise to pet them.

I'm not even sure if there are 'baras in the coast, since they're a freshwater animal.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

Hm. I'll have to re-think it.

Tourist captured after leaping into Capybara enclosure, found with an unreal amount of bonkers weed. "I didn't know they housed them with the small alligators!" he was heard to say while the police tried to restrain and remove his ample, pasty-white frame.

I've got no good luck!

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago

Oh is it because I’m brown? Huh? I don’t ask you what country you’re from!

The one that is actively falling apart on live TV.

Though I was born on the USS Enterprise, in international waters. Having lived in 49/50 states, I chose California as my home.
