And since this meme comes from Reddit, I made 100% certain (adjustment for inside the USA: 120%) to not research it in the slightest, just putting out here all confidently-like without a care in the world for anything other than how it makes us feel.

The 10th president of the United States (John Tyler) has a grandson alive today.

Harrison Ruffin Tyler, age 96.

How many raccoons in trenchoats old is that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I asked and according to the Raccoons: 🎂🍌.

Sounds about right. You speak Raccoonese? I’ve always been interested in learning, but it’s not in Duolingo yet.

Let the Truthiness guide you: become your inner Raccoon.

The hard part is that no matter what you ask them, they will answer with some variety of food.

And I'm out here living in a town that's over a thousand years old. And it's not even a rare thing.

Technically there are some places in the USA that are that old or even older - but like the Grand Canyon, so representing natural formations or belonging to indigenous peoples rather than towns made by the conquerors.

The USA is 248 years old, but our presence on the continent is much older.

Perhaps it somewhat depends on who you mean by "our":-)

Knud Puppetsen, is that you on the picture?

I thought I was clear: I'm John Tyler's grandson! (/s:-P)

I like the implications that 90 year old people can still have children

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's simply the American hard work ethic - if you aren't having children at 90, then you aren't working hard enough!? 😜 (And then what, presumably they are raised by... older children? 😁)

Real countries have been around for what 1000 years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I mean... some of 'em. And if they have oil, well then the USA will say...
