Germany, but u can call me

Serbia!
With some luck, soon it might be free Serbia, since our dictator was never closer to going down
- Good luck!

Hell. I live in Hell. It's still pronounced "America" though.

United Kingdom! We like tea.
- United Kingdom too, but I hate tea! We're a complex people...
  
  You hate tea?? I'm glad the queen isn't alive to witness such appalling behaviour
- <snob>
  Where do you even get tea in the UK?!
  </snob>
  
  😉
  
  We have this glorious creation
- UK here too I like coffee and tea
- Huh. I was absolutely convinced you were in the 'v' postal area in Canada. Heck, I thought we had the same job and maybe the same employer!

Land of the fucked, home of the bigots.

I'm ashamed to admit it right now.

New Zealand!
- Me too
  
  Me too!

Argentina

From North Carolina in the US, hello to my neighbors around the world! Hope things are better where you live ❤️ :)

Straya, cunt!

France ! We like baguette.
- I'm also from France ! I like cheese.

Canada, baby 🇨🇦
- 🇨🇦 woo! Mark-edly better without that Polyestre dude.

I'm from the US, I live in France right now. I miss my home, but I fear that there will be no home to return to.
- Where in France are you? 👋
  
  I am currently in the Pays de Gex, close to the Jura mountains, it's a really beautiful area

Denmark representing!

Finland present 🇫🇮

Northern Ireland, the bastard child of Britain and Ireland
- Well, at least know that Belfast is my favourite city on planet Earth. :)

Brazil unfortunately

The one that is actively falling apart on live TV.
Though I was born on the USS Enterprise, in international waters. Having lived in 49/50 states, I chose California as my home.
- Wow! Didn’t know Star Trek was real
  
  Lol, the now decommissioned CVN-65, it was featured in Star Trek 4: The one with the whales.

south korea

Poland but the la is silent.
- So pond.
  Britain is across the pond.
  The pond is the Atlantic Ocean.
  You're in the Atlantic Ocean.
  É dos Açores?

Ireland / Germany. Currently residing in Northern Germany.
- Ireland/Germany. Currently residing in South Germany!

Dutchland, home of hagelslag and slayers of the ocean.
- 🧡
  We truly do rule the waves!

Germany; hoping to move to Australia soon-ish, though
- I'm Australian, and I moved to Germany some years ago :)
  
  Oh really? Where to exactly?
- Sounds good! Where in Oz do you want to go?
  
  Regional NSW; I haven't decided where exactly but Wagga is awfully nice

Born? US. I've been living for the last decade in Japan.

Sweden.

Hong Kong!... China, depending on your political view

Singapore

Third planet after the Sun. My country is the globe!
I'm from Paraná [inb4 "Banana"], Brazil. It's like Romania: similar shape, and also inhabited by a bunch of Latins that people insistently call Poles, but instead of wolves attacking tourists we got tourists trying to hug capybaras.
- Let's be clear, here: you can't hug the capybaras? It'll be hard, but I can cope with that over time.
  Can you sit in an "Adirondack" style chair on a dock as the sun goes down and smoke some bonkers weed with one and watch the day die? Because I kinda feel if no one was around they'd speak up and reveal some crazy poignant fact and change my life.
  I may hug one after that. Or before. I'm gonna lose an ear, aren't I?
  
  At least in theory you could hug a one; they aren't aggressive. You wouldn't lose an ear. But tourists are loud so the 'baras feel like being hunted, and once you get close they run into the water. (It's fun to watch this in parks.)
  And even if you do manage to get close... they're wild animals, so full of ticks and fleas. It's a bit unwise to pet them.
  Can you sit in an “Adirondack” style chair on a dock
  I'm not even sure if there are 'baras in the coast, since they're a freshwater animal.

France. I love cheese and baguettes but I don't drink wine (I prefer tea) and I do not wear a béret.
- Chocolatine or pain au chocolat?
  
  I'm not one of those monsters, and I live in Paris. I belong to the pain au chocolat camp, even though I would much prefer the humble croissant. The baker down our street makes some incredibly great ones, people are queuing to get some ;)

From Norway. Lived in a handful of countries the last decade or so. Probably going back to Norway this summer. Always a bigger culture shock than going abroad.

Spain
- This..
  Without the S
  
  Why?? It is perfectly ok with the S, except for it is too hoy to be end of may

The evil empire (USA)

Italy here, today waiting for the "Giro d'Italia" to pass and take some photos. I like torcetti and croissants (not the French ones please)

Heah in New England, we drink Dunkin. It is currently rainy and the chickens aren't even up yet.
- Hey theah fellow New Englandah. Got thunderstorms followed by bursts of sunshine here
  
  thunderstorms
  Thundahstæms?

Italy! Lived in a bunch of different places over the years but Italy's my home and I don't se myself leaving again hehe

Born in uk, but grew up Irish, in Ireland. Live in Australia, and am now dual citizen of both.

🇩🇰 💪 the flat chested bish in the Scandinavia clique.

Norway
- Nei, du. Skål.

The states, west coast in general. It's kind of funny, between the three of us in my family, we have one person born in CA, OR, and WA.
- Joining from the West Coast, California.
  Small Lemmy BLHW, I swear I got here browsing hot and not creeping your comments.

Portugal.

Born in Singapore, living in Norway for the last 14 years.

Oh is it because I’m brown? Huh? I don’t ask you what country you’re from!

Australia
Would like to end up in Argentina or Uruguay though!

Born in Germany as a Canadian citizen and now resident in China.

South Africa. Might be eligible for UK citizenship though thanks to a recent-ish change that allows maternal ancestry (how progressive of them), just need the funds to get that ball rolling. And I missed out on Dutch citizenship because my father had to be the only one of his siblings born in South Africa and not the Netherlands.

sigh I am legally required to inform you that i was born in the state of Texas, USA...
- Condolences. Keep changing where you can.

The deep south.
We our own brand o' country up in hyuh.

I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow, eh?
- Dude, just because you're the last one to see the sun go down, just means you're in Ucluelet and you're right where you want to be.
  That ain't slow. That's "well placed" or also "well paced."
  Carry on, pace-setter. Show us how to be.
  
  This was a delightful response to a reflex Simpsons joke. Beautiful, man!

Originally Ohio, now the American Southwest (I won't be more specific than that).
Left Ohio a decade ago, never going back that place is terrible. There's like, no sunlight, gives ya the SADs (seasonal affective disorder) real bad in winter. Life in the desert is nice, basically infinite hiking. I do a different trail every week, usually around 5 miles or so. I've got a big 13 mile loop planned with some friends soon, I'm excited.
