Not saying it's an especially frequent thing, but on occasion there will an article published where there's a tourist visiting a national park either in this country or Canada somehow manages to die a hamster's death by finding themselves in an easily avoidable situation like falling into a hot spring or wandering into an area with signs plastered everywhere warning of bears in the area and then ends up getting mauled. And truth-be-told, these deaths seem to be overwhelming Euro.Not euros, but I wonder if there's some sort of Anglo exception here. Because we have Bruce and Kiwiman visit our parks as well who do a lot of brazen shit, but still seems to have an intuitive grasp of what you can get away with and when nature will eventually fuck you after enough pokes, where the price paid is usually your life.
>>221347754euros are frail creatures sir please understandwe aren't strong adventurers like anglos
>>221347754It's rarer in American because fewer people go out to experience nature.
>>221347754if you lurk more youll find most of these are german (or dutch). Prove me wrong
>>221347754>somehow manages to die a hamster's death by finding themselves in an easily avoidable situationThat's just germanics, also happens here.
>>221347754Germanic Faustian spirit
>>221347754They literally don't have any sort of wilderness in their countries, they probably don't expect they're on their own out there
>>221347754>wandering into an area with signs plastered everywhere warning of bearsNaive Europeans think American bears are as civilized as Europeans. European's bears are not permitted to attack people.
>>221347816Most Europeans who have enough money to travel are Germans??? WHOA!
>>221347754Europe is mostly safe and many Europeans never experience any wildlife or any sort of natural disasters. This is especially true for more central Europeans (aka Germans). They think they can walk anywhere without any problem
>>221347781>euros are frail creatures sir please understand>we aren't strong adventurers like anglosThis but unironically
I've noticed there's a big difference in perception of forests in Europe and the US. In Europe, forests are these cute little things where you go to camp with friends/family/school trips, where you see reindeer, where you make snobrød etc. Whereas in the US it's where you get mauled by bears, murdered or raped by serial killers/rapists and other bullshit
>>221347888True. Most scary thing I've seen is a red fox
>>221347754Because the extent of nature and its wildlife a Euro has experienced is a fox a neighbor once saw. And as much as they seethe, like usual it will be the Anglo that spearpoints the next frontier which is space>>221347888this^
>>221347754Hundreds of Germans still drown swimming in rivers every year, an ambient musician I listen to died that way swimming in the Rhine last year
>>221348287No you're right. Europe doesn't have much wildlife, we are the first to admit that. Romania and the other Scandinavian countries have bears and wolves but that's about it.I did have a black scorpion right in front of me when I was in Turkey at a beach, but most don't consider Turkey European
>>221347754we can say the exact same about american tourists here, you are mostly dumb af with no survival or outdoors skills and end up in the worst situations.
>>221347888The price of living in a first world country I'm afraid.
Do you not remember that club that burned down in Switzerland and everyone was just looking at the fire instead of getting the fuck out? Everyone on that continent is a monkey with a high income
>>221347754Europeans killed all their wildlife, no fucking shit they manage to get mauled by a bear. Like fucking dodos, they lost their instinctive fear of bears and the like ages ago.
>>221347754A Finn wouldn't think much of signs about bears because in our country the bears fear us but apparently that's not the case in America then and Americans aren't fearsome enough to teach bears to be afraid.
>>221347754as if ameericans don't go mising in national parks all the time
>>221347754There's no true wildlife in 90% of Europe.In Europe you can be in the deepest "wilderness", walk 5 minutes and reach a city.It's not like the USA that if you venture into the wilds you can spend weeks without ever seem human civilisation
>>221347754look inside and you will find most of those "europeans" are basically germans. there is no wilderness in germany, they don't know how to deal with a situation where civilization is more than a few km away
>>221350188yeah even here in a low population density country I have tried finding the largest patch of wilderness and I couldn't go more than ~8km from a human habitat of some kind
>>221349721We're tamers. If an animal doesn't wanna get tamed it gets culled. This is why brown immigrants won't survive into the next century.
>>221348034Can they spend money on basic outdoor classes too then?
>>221350254You know culled means killing the animal and not letting it kill you right?
>>221351301Do I look dead to you? The lions weren't culled in 15 years either, chill out.
>>221350188>>221350212How did the drive to Joshua Tree itself not clue them in that something’s different? For someone who hasn’t seen it themselves it’s hard to describe the type of empty desert is around it for miles in every direction
Yeah
>>221347856The two are connected. Faustian spirit comes from living in "glorified theme park, the continent", and thinking the rest of the world works the same way. Combine that with emigrating to America and you get manifest destiny. Many die, but some will luck out. Generations later, nature has domesticated and tamed the once adventurous nature of Americans, so nowadays they need a new supply of Germans to wander off into the desert.
>>221347754I remember an friend's exchange student friend came with us during a camping trip and who we offered sunscreen to on multiple occasions (because where we were camping was in the Southwest where the south is particularly bad) but refused because he wanted to try to tan and took a nap. Regardless by the end of the day he looked like he had walked out of a house fire he had to go to the hospital and was diagnosed with something called 'sun poisoning' because his sunburn was that fucking bad. I'm sorry but euros are fucking clueless here.
>>221355058What nationality was he?
>>221348034no it's that you guys are obsessed with camping and hiking and stuff like that
