    Oh man, someone start spreading fire ants as a cure for something. This administration would be all over it.

        Does this joke make you feel uncomfortable?

        If so, can I recommend some ants?

        I’d agree, but the joke was funny.

      If only bullet ants were a thing here, we could use those instead.

      this administration

      Based on the other comment you mean the US government? Do you just assume everyone on the internet is American?

        Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as “this administration” or “the [leader] administration”?

        In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that’s more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch

        Although I kind of agree with you, I feel like everyone knows when someone refers to this administration as being US in relation to extremely dumb shit at this point

          It’s super annoying when the default country on Lemmy is the USA.

            There isn’t even the “this is a US website” excuse anymore, like on Reddit
