A woman not wearing a bra?

Drinking under 21?

Smoking?

No fat people?

No flags?

Odd sunglasses wearing style?

It's dirty lungs and the stench of smoke ruining a beautiful moment is what it is

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 147 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The smoke definitely is too much for me, at least.

It was the worst part about living in China, too. Can't go anywhere public without just being overwhelmed by the stench of cigarette smoke because everyone is a smoker.

When I once told a coworker I didn't smoke, they thought I had some sort of condition. Like people couldn't even imagine it was just a preference.

Yeah, smoking bans and discouraging it is absolutely something the US done very well. It's one of the few american things I'm envious of.

I think laws like that wouldn't pass now. It'd be seized as ammo for the culture war and anti-smoking would be woke and all that.

That people are still smoking in 2025 given the verified risks involved?

You're right, that is incomprehensible

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 3 points 6 days ago

Yeah that's a big no for me. I sometimes meet people i haven't seen in 10 years or so and they all pull out cigarettes and i'm always a bit shocked and like: oh, we're still doing that? Gross.

I think it's about mixed use zoning, medium density, walkable car free streets. And perhaps drinking under the age of 21 but not so sure on the last one.

Too funny Reading the comments from Americans insisting they comprehend but then saying it's just about drinking and smoking lol

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Comprehend what? Smoking in public? Drinking in public? Maybe eating in public? Have you not heard of Las Vegas or New Orleans that shit is everywhere. It is also prevalent in many small towns where the local populace has decided fuck it. I worked in a small town bar after they banned smoking indoors in public places but you would never have known because no one gave a fuck and did it anyway.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe it's the walkable historical street, like a lot of American towns have these days?

As an American, the only thing in this picture you wouldn't see at a trailer park are the fancy shops and restaurants in the background. Also the girl in red would be 450lbs (204kgs).

Americans thinking the bad part of this is the smoking when it's really the Marbella French restaurant charging you eight bucks for a side of mashed potatoes.

In their defense, there are few minds who can comprehend that one. Nuking this place from orbit could very well be the rekindling of US/Europe military collaboration.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 16 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I don't get what I'm not supposed to comprehend. I suppose you can say I'm not comprehending.

Can't comprehend what? Proceeds to focus on a single element of the photo and contextualize it within American culture
