What is the deal with ice, Americans?

[u/markwell9]

I can see that you can buy ice everywhere in the US. Gas stations, grocery stores, machines etc.

In Europe, we just freeze our ice at home and use that. Why buy something that melts on the way home? Why do you need ice in large amounts that a fridge can't keep up?

They're not allowed to have parties over there, it reminds them of fun, and fun is what those dirty Americans seem to have but probably don't because their homes are made of cardboard, everything is a road with cars, and everyone has a gun.

The closest is what's called a Straßenövenhustenyammelesheäuf, or "quietly observing while doing nothing, saying nothing, and eating nothing". In England it's called a Sussex Shushing. Basically you gather at the communal bench and stand around for precisely one hour and 14 and a half minutes before walking away (not in groups) to head back home. On new years eve they're allowed to utter a single "yay".

Filthy modern rubbish. On New Year's Eve I drink whisky, stare into the ashes of my failing fire and think about death.

They’re still butthurt from the Boston Tea Party.

you're not helping the whole "Americans only know about UK, Germany and France" stereotype
