Slight correction: ants take things back to their colonies. Brits take things from their colonies.

Yeah, but we don't like it.

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Y'all fuck off now, y'hear!

You ever see a Brit Death Spiral? Nobody can bear to speak up and they just keep following the queue. Gruesome stuff.

I once saw a British granny lift 5,000 times her weight in tea and crumpets.

Loyalty to the monarchy isn't accurate. It's only a minority of flag waving loons these days.
