  • White bread is not inherently ugly/disgusting, so this is one that genuinely can go either way, especially if it’s somehow specifically fresh white bread.

    But if some rando calls me “white bread”, I’d assume it’s a race-based insult, along the lines of “cracker”. Even if you include “fresh”, it might amount to something like “you’re pretty okay for a cracker”, which is still insulting, like most “you’re one of the good ones”-rhetoric.



  • Nah, Europe ain’t shit. I bet the US east coast timezone could beat all of GMT+1 alone even without using nukes.

    Nukes kind of create a conundrum, though, because they’re pretty much the reason why the big powers stopped direct warfare between each other. If China, Europe and the US had an outright war, those nukes would probably start dropping, and then everybody loses, but also, it’s kind of difficult to truly know how good a country is at nuclear warfare. GMT+1 is certainly going to lose this, though, each of the 4 US timezone could probably nuke it into oblivion, especially since e.g. Germany already has US army bases that are equipped with nuked on its own ground. But how many nukes China actually has and how good the US’s missile interception systems are? Who knows, maybe they’re just that much better. Though even if the US were theoretically stronger, they’re divided into 4 timezones, and it’s not a given that they’ll automatically ally with each other, which again gives China a huge advantage.
