Fridges don't need any more rest, they're always chilling.

Actually, the British are just one of the most recent of hundreds of civilisations who took things from other cultures. Everyone just hates on the British because they're still around.

"Can I apply my own anaesthetic?" "Sure, knock yourself out!"

You guys are getting bread?

Seriously?!?

Bringing up the revolution again?

Awwww. Friends forever!

And the Australians couldn't even beat the emus.

I recently saw someone doing this on the lake where I live. He was on a paddleboard holding what looked like bat wings. It was a windy day, so he was getting some good air I guess. :)

Tis Valhalla indeed!

america: come live here and be free! also America: but if you are any color other than white you r slave -usa, 1920

LOL!!! Awwwwwwww. Im sorry, were your ancestors bad at war?

Has anyone ever heard of a benevolent superpower? It’s like looking for a billionaire that makes it their mission to end poverty and actually puts their money where their mouth is.

Franz Ferdinand feels this...

Tea drinking came to England in 1650, but because it was expensive, didn't become the most popular drink in England until the early 19th century. It took oolong time.

Well, I know I'm not getting shot in Norway.

Task failed successfully

And the Nazi-Soviet Non Aggression Pact??

Everyone: "Tanks can't cross the Ardennes!" - Heinz Guderian: "Halt mal kurz mein Bier"

For those who don't know: after WW1, Germany started to design new tanks, which they weren't allowed to because of the Versailles treaty. To disguise that, they stated that they were building tractors ( don't ask me why that worked)

Hey hey hey, he tried but we fought back! - Finland -

So cruel! Ironically it was apparently Canada that passed laws to ban liquor first, then USA followed while Canada repealed decision. Canadian bootleggers got rich after that. 😁

Boomers had to deal with all of the sh*t that happened afterwards so cut them some f*c*i*g slack modern hate culture!
