I feel like North American countries can be united in this one thing and that’s neat.

People from the U.S. think they are majority. While they are actually the minority. Halloween/Day of the Dead is celebrated almost every where.

How do you say, “Sucks to be you guys!” in non-American?

You can still eat the lasagna, just eat around the bomb.

UK can party hard too on Hallows’ Eve
CluckN@lemmy.world 6 days ago
That would suck to clean.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 days ago
It would actually be self cleaning in a way.

to be fair, it’s not just America, although it’s kinda just the uk as well, it is an irish/scottish holiday originally after all
systemglitch@lemmy.world 6 days ago
CANADA ALSO EXISTS.

As America’s hat.
bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 6 days ago
But in the US it’s a major event that’s ALL of October now. It’s a whole other level. Walk into CVS or Walgreens (equivalent of Boots) and there’s a wall of Halloween merch right inside the entrance.
Or maybe the UK is the same now? After all, it has Black Friday sales.

even in my lifetime the Americanisation of halloween has been really weird, it’s obviously a lot more commercialised, but also nobody calls it guising anymore it’s honestly kinda depressing since a lot of our traditions have just been replaced with american ones
thetreesaysbark@sh.itjust.works 6 days ago
UK same. Pumpkin patches everywhere in Oct . I like it.
Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 6 days ago
The holiday came about because that’s when the potato harvest is, and they needed schoolkids to work in the fields
Halloween has always been a thing in the UK though, it’s just more for little kids
adam_y@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Pretty sure we had Halloween before the US even existed.
Admittedly we had to carve turnips.
Some still do.
systemglitch@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Just so Americans are aware, other countries have been dressing up and celebrating Halloween for our entire lives as well.
nomous@lemmy.world 6 days ago
You should tell OP that, they don’t seem to be aware.
almar_quigley@lemmy.world 6 days ago
We know.
Hammerheart@programming.dev 6 days ago
I fucking love halloween. If this is true, it’s one of the few redeeming aspects of USA culture.

i wish Halloween was as important to people as Christmas…

Wait til next month…

Lemmy about to POP OFF about five centuries of American genocide.
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Canada already celebrated thanksgiving. And we have a dark past also.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 days ago
I wish we did trick-or-treating as much as you guys :(
nomous@lemmy.world 6 days ago
I wish we still did trick or treating instead of the stupid communal “trunk or treat” that seems to have taken over everywhere.
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 days ago
Well we can’t just have kids walking around outside can we? The outside is for cars

Enjoy your deathtrap Americans
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 days ago
I’m confused if you mean America itself or pumpkin spice lattes, because, don’t worry, we’re exporting both.
undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 6 days ago
No, they mean deathtrap Americans. I think they’re like Irish Americans or African Americans but I’m not too sure where deathtrap is.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 6 days ago
I suppose we have pumpkins, too. At least this holiday is pretty fun, even if no one actually celebrates it here (there’s little chance it gets adoption here, where I live we even have a hard time getting into carnival, even though that holiday has native tradition).
Anyway, late August christmas sweets are way better than any Halloween-themed food or drink.

You’re welcome.

Non-United-Statesian here; try it; trust me.

That’s crazy to me. I don’t really like holidays but Halloween is such a fun vibe. It welcomes all types and can hit for any mood.
ICastFist@programming.dev 6 days ago
The decor and spooky theming is fun to me, but all the candy and trick-or-treat stuff just flies over my head.
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 days ago
That’s my point. You can take what you like and avoid the rest.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 days ago
That’s for the kids, and what kid wouldn’t want to go running around with friends while all dressed up to get free candy from everyone?
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 days ago
Yeah, I for real don’t know how or why more countries aren’t celebrating Halloween. It’s like the funnest one. Like y’all rest of the world don’t wanna play dress up and party for a night?
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Aren’t there a bunch of dress up and party holidays and such all over the world?
