trolling, rolling, bounding, bouncing across Europe, people often ask me what it means to be an American. I tell'em it's triumph. Triumph. Triumph when we nuke our enemies. Triumph when when peer down from the moon and laugh heartily at Russia. Triumph when we depose one dictator after another. Triumph when we break into the homes of terrorist kingpins on the other side of Earth and shoot them in the face. Triumph when whe use flying robots to bomb other terrorists in Afghanistan, and other nuclear robots to explore Mars. Triumph when we free Europe from nazis. Triumph. Triumph. Triumph

But it's not just the the big things, see? It's the way an Italian cabbie sits up straight and floors the gas when he hears my accent. It's seeing the wide eyes and bead of sweat running down the forehead of a German customs agent when he opens my passport. It's the way a French waiter hangs his head when I refuse the wine and ask for Coke instead, in English knowing full well he understands me.

The way an Aussie blushes and leans into the urinal next to me in the bathroom, or the scowl that meets my smirk when I tip an English waiter in US dollars covered with Washington's face. The way small mobs of Canadian school children follow me from a distance to see what a free man looks like, or how heads timidly rise and women gather when my accent stops the music in the clubs Amsterdam.

Triumph. Every bit of it, triumph. Thats what it means to be an American

we didn't rid the world of nazis, that was mainly russia, we basically removed a fraction of nazis from the earth.

[–]Favo32 -4 points-3 points ago

Russia supplied with American arms and funded by American dollars.

[–]Heh_Heh_Heh 6 points7 points ago

Eh? Armed and funded by Americans? Quite a big statement there. Can you provide a source that shows Soviets were armed by Americans? You seem to be implying that Soviet soldiers rode around in American-made tanks, armed with American-made guns.

As far as lend-lease goes, wiki only shows US provided rail cars, 14% of Soviets' aircrafts, and logistics support for Soviet-made tanks.

Granted lend-lease made things easier but to imply US support was the determining factor for the outcome of WW2 in USSR's favor is laughable.

[–]CarnivorousAvenger 0 points1 point ago

It wasn't the determining factor but is was one of many. Also the USSR would have eventually lost steam without allied help. I don't know why its popular on reddit to say the USSR won WWII single handedly, because that's very untrue.

[–]Suecotero -3 points-2 points ago

The Russians would have most likely defeated the Wehrmacht even without lend-lease. But sure, you guys won WW2. Don't forget to mention that time you defeated Napoleon, Ghengis Khan, Hannibal, Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Klingon Empire all at the same time with a rag-tag band of charismatic marines. I hear it's becoming a movie.

[–]fireline12 -4 points-3 points ago

OK, as much as I agree that the Russians played a huge role in WWII, put your money where your mouth is and prove that the Russians could have defeated the Third Reich without any assistance, including Lend-Lease. That's a bold assertion to make with no evidence.

[–]Suecotero 2 points3 points ago

Well, for starters, historians consider the turning point of the eastern front to be the failed push for Moscow in 1941. To paraphrase Pulitzer prize-winning historian Anthony Beevor "the door was kicked in, but the rotten building didn't collapse", i.e. the Germans knew they had to cause regime change to overcome the Soviet Union's vast advantage in manpower and resources. Psychologically, the turning point was the siege and defeat of the Wehrmacht's 6th army in Stalingrad 1942. A vast majority of lend-lease aid only arrived after Stalingrad, making it irrelevant for the crucial first years of the conflict.

The Russians sure loved lend-lease, putting highly reliable american vehicles to good use in logistics. At some point, two thirds of the Red Army truck fleet were American. It's influential, but not decisive. There is little doubt the Russians would have made due with their own vehicles had lend-lease not existed. After all, they already manufactured vastly superior tanks.

The allies opening a second front did seal the fate of Nazi Germany, but 80% of German combat casualties happened on the eastern front. If any single country can be declared the victor of that war, it's the Soviet Union.

[–]fireline12 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for the argument! I love having some actual informed debate on reddit, instead of people just calling me trailer trash. I still have to read up more on the Eastern Front of the war. Honestly, you can never read enough about it. The more I read the more I want to know.

[–]Suecotero 1 point2 points ago

Anthony Beevor writes excellent and accessible WW2 litterature. Get "Stalingrad" and go from there.

[–]YadaYadaSex 1 point2 points ago

Ya'll know this thread is about a fat man eating a comically oversized burger, right?

[–]Fish_Love 158 points159 points ago

I don't know why, but I find that man endearing. It's probably his birthday, he is chubby, they gave him a burger, he is happy. It's all very endearing, I hope he has a happy life.

[–]van_gofuckyourself 27 points28 points ago

I was thinking the exact same thing. That picture put a huge grin on my face and I can't figure out exactly why.

[–]slefob 4 points5 points ago

The contrast of your username and comment made me smile

[–]Kjulo 11 points12 points ago

A grown man, smiling in a very humane way, because people wish him well. They know him, they game him something, not just a burger, but a moment of his life he will not forget.

[–]Murca -1 points0 points ago

and heart disease.

[–]iGilmer 1 point2 points ago

It's because we're all Americans deep down. You're one, too, buddy.

[–]Cthulhu_Bloop 5 points6 points ago

I was thinking the exact same thing. He looks happy, he's probably surrounded by friends and having a great time. I found myself happy for him.

[–]Fish_Love 0 points1 point ago

That's exactly it!

[–]bitchsomemorebitch 3 points4 points ago

yet if this was a "chubby" woman everyone would be grossed out and offering health advice.

[–]Fish_Love 1 point2 points ago

No, that's not what I meant. He needs health advice as well I guess. I think it's his contented smile. If I saw the same image with a woman looking that happy I'd probably say the same.

[–]seancarter 1 point2 points ago

As someone who looks/looked a lot like this man, your comment made me smile. Endearing isn't a word one hears often and I'm sure he'd be smiling just as much if he read it. Thanks.

[–]Fish_Love 0 points1 point ago

Aww. Keep your head up man!

[–]robbyking 2 points3 points ago

I have this weird internal conflict in that I think gluttony is disgusting but I also enjoy seeing overweight people when they're excited because they're about to eat.

[–]Fish_Love 0 points1 point ago

I'm not overweight, but I can, at times, become excited because I am about to eat.. I have all the trappings of an overweight person. I just give it time, it'll happen.

[–]guthpasta 1 point2 points ago

I think the real question is, where's the beef?

[–]less_rhet 1 point2 points ago

I'm no hater but I'd expect that torch is probably going to give it a weird flavor

[–]kaji823 12 points13 points ago

I'm vegan and that still looks awesome. I definitely grew up in Texas.

[–]Anonymous3891 0 points1 point ago

Fuck the haters downvoting. A vegan who isn't acting like a condescending douche is like seeing a frickin' unicorn.

[–]kaji823 3 points4 points ago

Thanks! There are quite a few of us who are bitches. I just eat this way for health reasons; I have no moral problem with people eating animals (just the mistreatment of them by the factory farm industry - eat local!).

[–]bro_b1_kenobi 9 points10 points ago

[–]canitoy 1 point2 points ago

There's no way this is real. The hamburger probably weighs as much as a small adult

[–]NaChoBizness 15 points16 points ago

It looks like a giant turd as well...

[–]OBrien 1 point2 points ago

It's actually just a truck Tire in place of a Burger.

[–]david-me 6 points7 points ago

Is this one of those, "If you can finish it, it's free" type of things?

[–]mrwill[!] 1 point2 points ago

Yes, I believe this is at the Jack Daniels restaurant in Lake Charles, LA. It is 50 bucks but if you finish just the burger you get it for free.

[–]why_fist_puppies 5 points6 points ago

Part of a balanced breakfast.

[–]MR_WITTY_RESPONSE 12 points13 points ago

I never get why people make these huge burgers. Ok fine, you want to eat that much food, but why not make many single burgers instead of one huge one? I mean there's no way you can take a bite out of that without it falling apart.

[–]SensibleMadness 54 points55 points ago

The experienced glutton knows not to waste valuable stomach space on superfluous bread. The giant burger model increases the meat-to-bread ratio, thereby hardening the arteries much more efficiently.

[–]sayyahtodaupeh 16 points17 points ago

Excess carbohydrate leads to high blood sugar which will harden the arteries, if anything the burger in the picture is healthier than many smaller burgers.

[–]NaChoBizness -1 points0 points ago

Smaller burgers may have more bread, but the fat in that piece of shit will clog your arteries.

There is no such thing as "healthier" when it comes down to a choice between diabetes or congestive heart failure.

[–]ben1105 6 points7 points ago

There's a lot of research that seems to indicate simple carbs may be just as bad, if not worse, than saturated fats in terms of cardiovascular health.

At the very least, the meat is chock full of micronutrients and unsaturated fats which makes it a better overall choice than highly processed white bread.

[–]gumbercules6 3 points4 points ago

Or you could just choose a healthier meal rather than between two horribly unhealthy ones.

[–]bawb88 0 points1 point ago

[–]SensibleMadness 23 points24 points ago

amateurs may want to remove the candle first but real pros will eat the burger WITH candle for some added flavor.
