  I object to this diagram. Ants would almost certainly love a plate of beans on toast too.

    Does this mean the British are a subset of ants?

    • NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Well according to this diagram, there are just ants and weak ants. So, yes.

  WTF is “beans and toast”? The beans should be ON the toast

    Also the queen’s dead now so… yknow

      We still have a queen she’s just not the monarch.

    The real divisive question is where is the cheese? And I’ll try to remain as neutral here as possible.

    Do you melt it onto the bread, providing a protective layer and preventing the bread from absorbing too much bean juice, or do you put it on top the beans, like a psychopathic dog molester?

      I’m a psychopathic dog molester

      Please don’t take this out of context

      What a ridiculous idea to put cheese underneath your beans. Only a demented madman would even consider such an idea. That’s just shitty, ruined cheese on toast…

      I stir the cheese into the beans before I put it on the toast. Thus I have been exiled to Western Canada.Image

    beans and toast are the ingredients necessary to make beans on toast.

  English people. The Scottish, Welsh and Irish mostly disapprove of the monarchy. Very few people aside from the English actually like these people. I guess that goes with the territory of being a billionaire family for hundreds of years.

      As an English “whose-a-ma-whats-it”, I feel like a lot of us don’t care much for the monarchy as well. I don’t speak for all obviously. Many of my friends need to keep up with Royal Family drama for some reason.

    In terms of overwhelming media coverage think of them as the Brit version of the Kardashians (maybe from a few years back no idea how often the Kardashians are in the news these days).

    Other than that I think we probably never greatly reduced the role of our monarchy at the end of ww1, the way much of the rest of Europe did, because at that point we were still global reserve currency and similar to Americans today - things seemed to be going relatively well and we’d just ‘won’ ww1 so why change it? Our coal production peaked around 1921 (iirc), after that the £ began its decline before being bankrupted by ww2. We did alright with a somewhat socialist society until the late 70s, from which point neo-liberalism took over and we have raced rightwards, like the US, and the monarchy needs to go but is the least of our problems.

      We are wistful for the days when our biggest problem was getting rid of kings and queens. Our first order of business is getting rid of bigots and racists. Then we can focus on alleviating the stranglehold of business, which will clear the path for dealing with climate change and investing in our health and education.

    I know a northerner who is virulently an anti-monarchist. His whole family is.

  Whenever I hear "King Charles" I think "Who? That can't be right".

  • damdy@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yeah, even me as mostly anti monarchy had some respect for the queen. Not it’s just ‘who cares.’

    She did her job very well, and I’m not convinced the enormous benefits outweigh the obligations.

    source

    • Flamekebab@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yeah, I always found it weird when people would act like they have it so cushy. On a material comfort level, sure, but on basically every other level it sounds awful. You couldn't pay me to put myself or my children through that.

      Footballers who get paid a packet and can then vanish into obscurity if they so choose? That sounds like the good life.

      Hard pass on the gilded cage thing. I'm no monarchist, so now that the single nationalised granny initiative is over I'm wondering whether we'll keep them. Inertia will probably keep it going for a while yet. Transitioning away from them seems like it'd probably somehow be even more expensive and troublesome than living with them. A bit like trying to totally rid a large building of mice.

  The Brits don’t take stuff to they colony, but away from it. But if ants were sentient they’d call it an empire too, most likely.
