I object to this diagram. Ants would almost certainly love a plate of beans on toast too.

    WTF is "beans and toast"? The beans should be ON the toast

    We still have a queen she's just not the monarch.

    The real divisive question is where is the cheese? And I'll try to remain as neutral here as possible.

    Do you melt it onto the bread, providing a protective layer and preventing the bread from absorbing too much bean juice, or do you put it on top the beans, like a psychopathic dog molester?

    I'm a psychopathic dog molester

    Please don't take this out of context

    What a ridiculous idea to put cheese underneath your beans. Only a demented madman would even consider such an idea. That's just shitty, ruined cheese on toast...

    beans and toast are the ingredients necessary to make beans on toast.

    Queueing seems like such a natural thing to do. Is it just a free for all in other places?

    English people. The Scottish, Welsh and Irish mostly disapprove of the monarchy. Very few people aside from the English actually like these people. I guess that goes with the territory of being a billionaire family for hundreds of years.

    We are wistful for the days when our biggest problem was getting rid of kings and queens. Our first order of business is getting rid of bigots and racists. Then we can focus on alleviating the stranglehold of business, which will clear the path for dealing with climate change and investing in our health and education.

    As an English "whose-a-ma-whats-it", I feel like a lot of us don't care much for the monarchy as well. I don't speak for all obviously. Many of my friends need to keep up with Royal Family drama for some reason.

    Whenever I hear "King Charles" I think "Who? That can't be right".

    Yeah, even me as mostly anti monarchy had some respect for the queen. Now it's just 'who cares.'

    She did her job very well, and I'm not convinced the enormous benefits outweigh the obligations.

    Yeah, I always found it weird when people would act like they have it so cushy. On a material comfort level, sure, but on basically every other level it sounds awful. You couldn't pay me to put myself or my children through that.

    Footballers who get paid a packet and can then vanish into obscurity if they so choose? That sounds like the good life.

    Hard pass on the gilded cage thing. I'm no monarchist, so now that the single nationalised granny initiative is over I'm wondering whether we'll keep them. Inertia will probably keep it going for a while yet. Transitioning away from them seems like it'd probably somehow be even more expensive and troublesome than living with them. A bit like trying to totally rid a large building of mice.

    Not even in a material comfort level. Buckingham Palace is in a very bad way with threadbare furnishings, the roof caving in, a massive rat problem, and large parts abandoned. The current King refuses to live there.

    Fake news. These lads can definitely lift up to 5000 times their weight.

    I find your lack of tea inside this diagram to be ... disturbing

    The Brits don't take stuff to they colony, but away from it. But if ants were sentient they'd call it an empire too, most likely.
