Funny thing is... there's 10+ McDonald's' within walking distance of Big Ben.

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world · 50 pts · 17d (5 replies)

As an American, you vastly overestimate the radius of 'walking distance' from a given point

fonix232@fedia.io · 10 pts · 17d (3 replies)

These are all distances I've walked a number of times... often drunk.

You sure you didn't mean you have waddled those distances fatly?

fonix232@fedia.io · 1 pts · 16d

Just because I walked the distance it doesn't mean I went to McD...

God that smug dickhead sucks. Especially when I heard him talk about what he thinks are the "ins and outs" of nuclear and electrical generation. Ignorant overconfident cringelord.

But, correct about London Ontario's horrible infrastructure and city planning.

While I generally agree with NJB, he does get a little carried away. He is passionate for sure.

Oh I'm sorry, did I offend you and your love of concrete hellscapes full of gas stations, strip malls; lining endless stroads with wide lanes clogged with penis enhancing oversized, non-hauling trucks. Truly a modern marvel of urban design that is inviting for living-- not.

Yes, I'm offended.

Canadians are more similar to Americans than Americans are similar to Americans. He's also an actor so he's trained to sound like a Californian.

Oh i knew he was canadian but didnt know it was fake london

Dicska@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 16d

Later on he had moved to Cornwall. Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. BTW AFAIK Celine Dion and Rachel McAdams were born there, too. I'd guess OP (or whoever originally made this meme) also heard it from No such thing as a Fish.

More about other comments than the post itself: why are everyone so aggressive here, what the hell?? 😭

Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 16d

Well... maybe its me and the terrible environment I create in some of my shitposts. It's like casting an AOE poison spell when I say X thing everyone here likes is bad. Tends to create a somewhat hostile comment section. Maybe it's that a ton of people on Lemmy truly believe everything they think is objectively correct.

I'm amazed there isn't a New London.

But then again, why would you leave the original london and go anywhere?

kat_angstrom@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 17d (1 reply)

There are 15 "New London"s in the USA, plus others in Canada, Bermuda, and Norway, it turns out

There's also a London on a random Atoll i've found on Wikipedia last week. It's a banana plantage.

I can spot your account a mile away. (That’s a good thing)

Also London Ontario has some nice areas and some shitty areas like anywhere else but it’s not a bad city all in all. I don’t think I’d move there but I’ve been many times and it’s alright.

The reason people hate America... well. One reason people hate the United States of America is that (some) Americans don't know that Canada is a different country.

Yes, there are lots of beautiful places in the Americas, people just don’t like the USA, the country.

They are probably better off just going to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean instead and skipping the USA politics.
