I guess the original poster is Italian... Maybe it's about stereotypes still very strong against southern Europeans? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23718933 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23718933

  I'm south European myself and spent months cycling the whole thing, out of love. It's a joke, hence the ) at the end.

Unfortunately for you I am exactly from southern Europe, from Rome in Italy to be precise. I think you should visit here, I would show you how much noise people from other countries make, especially Americans. I'm sure you made it as a joke and I don't mind it, but this stereotypes must stop, for a simple reason: there is more to Europe than jokes about southerners. We simply spend more time outside in the open because the weather is usually better, but any country has its weirdos, sometimes public is a park or an open market, sometimes it's a pub.

Ironically they think the anglofones are the loud ones and I mostly agree on this with them. And, of course, Americans are obese https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2019/11/share-of-adults-defined-as-obese-1-768x542.png https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2019/11/share-of-adults-d...

    Pure io e ha un po' rotto le palle che davanti agli americani che si sparano per cazzate noi continuiamo a fare la parte della scimmietta simpatica che strilla per le strade Sono molto peggio di noi
