i love the term "joshing." it's slang, meaning to joke or tease playfully. "i'm just joshing you." who is this notorious josh. who joshed so much that the whole concept got named after him

[rubykgrant]

the one true Josh

[kipplekipple]

Whenever this photo turns up I remember that all the Joshes came and fought and then they made that little Josh's entire life by declaring him the winner and I get a little choked up.

hating your own country is a disease, btw. one of the cures is watching foreigners visit and express their love for aspects of your culture you've been taking for granted.

I think that media literacy step one for any video is "why is a camera pointed at this?" If there's no obvious reason for a camera to be pointing that way all the time, someone filmed the video on purpose. We aren't a fly on the wall, we're a deliberate audience.

This is what you call Waffle House at 2 am when the bars close and everyone is drunk and hungry

[rasec-wizzlbang-blog]

*group of people having fun* this site: wtf this is so scary

[wilfulwayfarer-deactivated20220]

People having safe fun at a waffle house is scary for most Tumblr bloggers, reports say.

[inkandcayenne]

Some context for those not familiar with Waffle House Culture: 

Waffle House is one of the few chains in America that’s open 24/7/365, and where you can get both breakfast and lunch/dinner options at any time (I have had so many Breakfast Cheeseburgers at Waffle Houses). The food is really good, and people eat there at all times of the day or night, but it’s particularly popular as a late-night post-drinking spot because it’s all that’s open and it’s the kind of food that tastes especially good when you’re hammered.

Part of Waffle House Protocol is that all the servers and cooks greet every single customer as they come through the door. It sounds lame, but I’ve never been to a Waffle House where that greeting didn’t feel completely heartfelt. My mom is a health nut who could barely find anything on the menu she was willing to eat and yet she describes the Christmas Day lunch we had there one year as one of the nicest meals she’s ever had because everyone was so warm and welcoming. That sense of camaraderie gets turned up to 11, of course, at 2 a.m. when everyone’s shitfaced.

The jukeboxes have Waffle-House-themed songs on them (once you have heard “Raisins in my Toast” you will be earwormed forever) and there is an arcane system of hash brown ordering: scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, topped, diced, peppered, and/or capped. The hot sauce bottles say “Casa de Waffle.” 

Once, in Oxford (UK), my husband and I walked past a kebab van very late one night and he said “why do I smell Waffle House”

The location of most Waffle Houses means there’s some… classism that tends to get tied up with Anti-Waffle House Discourse, which is probably lending itself, in part, to this being such a fraught topic. (I’m looking at a map and apparently I was born and raised right in the middle of the Peak Waffle House Density Zone)

It is, in the words of chef Anthony Bourdain, “indeed marvelous— an irony-free zone where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts; where everybody regardless of race, creed, color or degree of inebriation is welcomed.”

[postmarxed]

We’re not even gonna mention FEMA’s Waffle House Index where they determine how bad a natural disaster is by calling the local Waffle House to see if they’re open?

[darringtonshorthalt]

that last bit isn’t a joke

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

Greatest hits of FIFA cultural exchanges thus far:

Learning about flyovers and pyrotechnics at American games being a thing

Non-americans discovering the size of American football stadiums....for high schools in texas. Also the size of our stadiums in general.

Going to baseball games as a side treat! Lmao.

Non-americans losing their minds over "like, 100 petrol pumps," at buc-ees.

Related: Americans often forget how huge target and Walmart is.

People discovering American BBQ

Non-americans being obsessed with mid American restaurant chains like Golden Corral and Taco Bell

A lot of them really did feel god in this chile's apparently

The rightful obsession with waffle house

New understanding of American Big Drink With Ice supremacy as summer creeps in

Begrudging acceptance of mandatory water breaks during games

Americans realizing we have a Team USA and we are not, in fact, just "hosting our friends" from around the world — mostly because we won our first match and our team is decent??? Not amazing but not the worst.

Side rant: us women's football team is legendary good and we should care about that more like. Hello???

Admitting Americans are right about air conditioning

Related: the english team did warm ups in Florida RIP, and also the there's a video of the French team just being like fuck the heat, fuck the sun, this is so hot...

Americans who do not normally care about international football but fucking love a sport and cheering so we're just hyping whatever team is nearby, like we see a party and just show up and learn the chant. Like sorry many of us don't know shit about soccer but if we see a bunch of people in viking helmets or kilts or holding a bunch of flags and cheering we're game.

TAILGATING!!!!

I already said this but American yellow school bus is an international celebrity

The Scottish drank Boston dry of beer apparently, like they quadrupled what Boston normally sells for fourth of July weekend. SAM ADAMS HAD TO GET AN EMERGENCY BEER DELIVERY.

Also the English team fans got kicked out of The Londoner pub in Dallas after drinking 5,000 beers and going over max capacity lmao

Free refill drinks, tortilla chips & salsa.

So many non-americans are going to be here for the 4th of July for our 250th anniversary which is going to be great and hilarious

Non-americans discovering ranch as a beloved condiment

Non-americans understanding American obsession with hamburger now

Japan's homebase is in Texas and the cultural differences are frankly great and also the Japanese fans are SO NICE and helped clean up the stadium after a match???

All the short videos with the eagle screech (which I think is actually a hawk but whatever)

[sweaterkittensahoy]

On the note of Americans embracing whatever team is nearby, please enjoy this clip of Kansans going all in for Algeria:

Americans: always down to party

#what is tailgaiting#i keep seeing it on these posts in a positive way#so it must mean something else

Tailgating is where you go to a sporting event, and hang out at or near the venue with food. Kind of like a picnic, but as prep to go into the game. Tailgating can be very basic, with just sandwiches and a cooler of drinks, but most of the time you're looking at a more elaborate set-up. This will include a tailgating tent, tables, a full-spread lunch (breakfast too, depending on how early you show up), grill and hot food, and maybe even a TV to watch other games going on that day. Oftentimes, this will be on campus of whatever university the game is at. Professional venues are usually not tailgating-friendly, which is part of the reason I'm very selective about the pro sports I actually like.

(all images selected to deliberately exclude any sponsored or pre-paid tailgates because those are stupid and do not count)

The name, "tailgate" comes from the original tailgating setup. Where you pull up to the place with a pickup truck, unload all your food prep stuff, drop the tailgate of the bed, and use that to set up the buffet.

considering there's roughly 2 weeks between Juneteenth and 4th Of July, I propose we should have an all-encompassing Freedom Festival throughout it like the 12 days of Christmas.

[authortobenamedlater]

Complete with America caroling where we stroll around our neighborhoods in gaudy red white and blue outfits and sing tunes like Battle Hymn of the Republic and America The Beautiful.

(Seriously WHY is this not a thing)

[purpleisnotacolor]

that's the spirit! 🦅⛓️‍💥

Happy 1-Year Anniversary K-Pop Demon Hunters!✨

[wren-clouds]

I think shows and movies should stop saying 'accept every part of yourself even the bad parts' and instead say 'acknowledge every part of you and strive to overcome the bad parts' because just accepting your flaws and the 'shameful' parts of yourself isn't going to truly set yourself free, something needs to be done about them

[thewritingautisticat]

YOU.

YOU GET IT 👀
