An American trolled Europe’s ‘third world buildings’ and was magnificently owned all the way back across the Atlantic
Time now to return to the ever-widening cultural chasm between the US and the rest of the world, in this case an American with a very specific troll of their European brethren.
Specifically, how they wire their buildings. Not just any building but in this case the Louvre (and others out and about in Paris, by the looks of it).

And we’re glad they did – in a way – because it prompted no end of high voltage comebacks, of which these surely said it best.

That’s pretty bad, yeah, but I also don’t envy the guys trying to figure out how to run electricity into 500 year old palaces with 12” thick solid rock walls everywhere

What America looks like to foreigners:
“I wonder what this million+ dollar home is made of”
***Plywood***
“what.”

Man sees a building made from brick and stone instead of paper and twigs and wonders why electrical cables run externally.

Yeah it’s a bit harder to put cables into the walls of a 1000 year old palace vs a cardboard framed house.

But it’s surely only right that the final word should go to @BrooklynWoo in the south-west of – where else? – France.
Les américains qui découvrent que les bâtiments européens ne sont pas en carton et ne datent pas de 2012 + leurs prises sont toujours bloquées à 110V car ils savent que leur population est trop stupide pour passer à 220V sans que la moitié du pays ne se tue par électrocution https://t.co/9c5tqIkecC

‘Americans who discover that European buildings aren’t made of cardboard and don’t date from 2012 + their outlets are still stuck at 110V because they know their population is too stupid to switch to 220V without half the country killing itself by electrocution.’
Très bien!
