... evil thought: get angry about Americans assuming everywhere has pickles to the point i start pickle discourse, in an intentional attempt to starve worse, more harmful discourses of oxygen
so the response both here and on the old birdsite to the idea of "hey wait is it just the Americans who are that into pickles and making the false assumption that it's universal" is pretty overwhelming evidence in the affirmative.
I think we might have to break it to the Americans that the pickles obsession is a Them Specifically And Maybe Germany From Which The Practice Came thing and not a worldwide universal
Finally some context for the video I saw of an international traveller coming to the US and being so excited about all the pickles. Straight up thought they just really liked pickles.
