Americans when no burger: Aw man.
As a vegan American traveling in Mexico there were a couple times I got frustrated and ended up just getting an Impossible burger from some hipster looking place. It did make me feel American as fuck.
You couldn’t find rice and beans?
With my non-vegan wife’s family it was shockingly difficult to find even that. Though Mexican food is dead easy to cook vegan at home, people there barely understand vegetarianism let alone veganism. Things are often cooked in animal fat, meat broth, etc.
Beans in Mexican cuisine are often cooked with animal fat.
Well damn
Do I go on the burger side? Will there be fries?
The real Bürgers are the fries we made along the way.
probably, but only after the immigration checkpoint, lots of airports in Germany have burger restaurants in them :D
Some of those signs don’t have the translation underneath.
I see those and think, “Well yeah, I could eat a burger”
Why, because they can’t read German or English?
Because they’re burger citizens.
Because they are angry that they can’t get a burger without being EU citizens
Am confuse, it says Bürger, not Burger.
Also it’s singular, what self-respecting American would get derailed by the promise of a single burger? Had it said “king sized double double down meal with a glazed donut burger on the side”, then sure.
not dipped in double cream chocolate syrup milkshake?
I was thinking they suddenly have to deal with being “one of the rest” instead of us being subsidiaries of the American Empire, but I like your answer too.
Dang, I like yours too actually. Yours is a little less immature and maybe a little closer to reality 😆
because of the “Burger citizen”
Because they can’t read
German or English
Is it because it says burger?
“Burger citizen”. So poetic.
Customs is stressful, a burger sounds great, can I get some fries, too?
My first time traveling internationally, I was by myself at Gatwick airport. I saw the signs with arrows pointing one way for “UK, Channel Islands, and EU” and another way for “All Other Countries” or something like those. I misunderstood that as being for what your destination was, like people simply connecting in London on their way to some other part of the world, but not leaving the airport, needed to follow the second sign. It was only as I got into the lines that I realized the difference was not the destination but what paper you carried. I think since then in other countries I’ve seen them explicitly include “Passports” on those signs, which is clearer.
In Dutch we call the mayor a burgermeester, which can be literally translated into burger master.
It’s burgemeester, without the r, so you can’t literally translate it to master of the citizens. The burg here doesn’t refer to burger, but to burg, master of the bourough
You don’t elect mayors, you elect burger kings
There were couple of … um, puppet animators back in the 1970’s who did a bunch of holiday specials, Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass. The villain in one of their specials is named Burgermeister Meisterburger.
Did we all live the same childhood?
The villain in one of their specials is named Burgermeister Meisterburger.
That’s the best thing I’ve heard all week. Thanks for that.
This is gold.
You mean the best animators ever?
the fucking villains fandom wiki 😭
Literal translation would be: ‘citizen master’ as ‘een burger’ is a citizen. Sorry to spoil the fun.
ye… and in german it is “Bürgermeister”
Apologies for the fandom link, but Craig Alanson might have been mocking you.
Literal translation would be: ‘citizen master’ as ‘een burger’ is a citizen. Sorry to spoil the fun.
German does that as well.
No one will tell me what all this is about–but I will find out.
TBF, it should read “alle anderen Passe”
Well, the funny bit is that the “All passports” side will also accept EU passports, so if you have an EU passport and the “EU Citizens” side has a line and the other doesn’t (which, granted, tends to be rare), you can go to the “All passports” side.
However that line is much longer, as the processing of each person takes longer to process.
I did it once while distracted and the immigration guy just looked at me with a Wtf face and said, you know you can go there, right? And waived me through.
I feel like in the US, the sign would say “all passports” but everyone would tacitly understand it excludes US passports.
Generally: “US Citizens/Residents” and “Non-Citizens” or “Visitors”
Probably says “invaders” by now and the line is outside an ICE office.
I think the understanding of most people here in Europe is also similar.
However officially you can go via the “All passports” lane when having an EU passport and at most you’ll get a funny look from the person doing passport control.
Personally I’ve done it a couple of times in an airport were you can see all the way to the front of both lanes, simply because both lanes were empty (sometimes I’m one of the first to arrive at passport control from my flight because it’s a bit of a walk from the arrival gate to passport control and I’m a fast walker) and the “All passports” lane was the closest one hence it was a shorter walk and faster - it also helps it was in my homeland and the local mindset is to do that kind of silly lazy shortcut so the people controlling the passports totally get it. I think I also did it once elsewhere by mistake because I was distracted.
Mind you, given the way things became in the US after the Patriot act, I can understand if Americans would already worry that using the “All passports” lane there would end up them somehow interrogated by a TSA agent or some shit like that purely because it looked suspicious, and nowadays they have even more reason to worry.
Yeah, what’s with that map? Don’t recognize that city.
“To help us reach our goal of releasing Star Citizen from early access within more than 50% of its backers’ lifetimes, we’ve partnered with Burger King…”
“This cooperation allowed us to reach our first $1 trillion funding goal that was necessary to reach the next step of our early access journey.”
An auditor trap?
can fully relate that it must be confusing for muricans
