Especially that first one - I'm scared to think that someone can even accomodate that up there

That's the Republican way - criticise and cut everything while offering no real solutions

That's what we make of it, yeah... but I want an answer from the universe itself

If you didn't have the anti-caking agent, the cheese would just cake up into one solid mass, making the whole "pre-shredded" part literally meaningless...

If you want shredded cheese without anti-caking agents, just shred your own - it's cheaper, and only requires a grater and a bit of extra time over pre-shredded.

What's really the meaning of life - like are we really just a cosmic roll of the dice going through an at most ambivalent universe?

You can only hope these were cleaned after their last use

How people refer between different types of sweets varies even within Britain, nevermind other countries... but at least in my experience chocolate sweets get referred to as chocolates, and non-chocolate sweets as just sweets (though I have heard the terms sugar sweets and confectioneries thrown about for those too)

You say that like most of us aren't in on the joke - good banter is one of the few things we Brits even produce anymore...

It ruins the fun if you take it too seriously, which (from my experience) Americans seem to do a lot - that's one of the other things that outs you guys amongst Brits fairly quickly.

True - I had forgotten you guys call it footy and soccer. Though I suspect the Aussie accent would give you guys away before we got to the topic of footy

Definitely Brits, but not just Brits - Sweets is the preferred term in much of the English speaking world, with Candy being very distinctly associated with the US.

Looked it up properly, you're right. I shouldn't have second-guessed myself

Yes, but I don't think the person I was replying to was referring to America the landmass given the context and wording - plus even in the context given, it would still be more accurate to say North America, as Southern/Latin America doesn't share the same cultural identity with North America

Canada is in North America the continent, which the US (sometimes referred to as America) is also in - saying Canada is America is like saying Great Britain is Europe

Edit: NA is a sub-continent, not the continent

Edit 2: Scratch Edit 1

As others have said, sweets

While it will absolutely out you as a US American, we will understand - same as when you say "Candy" and similar common Americanisms

Edit: Also, while mostly used to refer to flashlights as you guys call them, torch can also refer to other non-lantern light-emitting instruments

Isn't now, but it was a colony, and that's more than enough for us to shit on it

Except that it is clearly satire - it's poking fun at the idea of anti-intellectualism.

Having said that, one could argue Poe's law - it can be hard to tell these days what's satire and what's not, and not everybody is laughing at anti-intellectualism

Either they're traitors paid off by Russian, or they really are dumb enough to spout off unverified information like they're on Facebook rather than supppsedly helping run a country

Also, why would anything we've seen from Zelensky so far suggest he would be the type to waste his country's precious resources on yachts? That's the behaviour of someone who'd sit out a war they instigated in a bunker.

Lads is it gay to not want to die by climate change?

Christ - in what world should someone who legitimately tried to pull an insurrection/coup on the country - something that already should've instantly made them an enemy of the country - get to run for its highest office?

It's ridiculous that this even has to be a "longshot legal bid" - it should literally just be ticking a box!
