As others have said, WTR is very well-known in France while most people have never heard of Seinfeld.

Same with Dallas and The Dukes of Hazzard.

Assuming this sort of phenomenon extends further than France, this quite well explains many of the misconceptions Europeans have about the US.

Thinking WTR, Dallas, or TDoH are representative of American culture is... hilarious.

But I guess shows that hit the big American cultural stereotypes hard are maybe the ones that do better abroad?

From my memory from the 90s: Baywatch, X-Files, that speaking car one, Beverly Hills 90210, Ninja Turtles. Some dumb sitcom named Step by Step? edit: oh and ALF

Oh and Married with Children, but it was always very late night and I was not allowed to watch it.

And our teacher always played us ET on VHS. (and that dog playing basketball.)

that's america for me when I was a kid

If you like MwC, look up episodes of Unhappily Ever After on Youtube, it's sort of the second-generation MwC. Same sort of humour but taken even further, I can easily re-watch Unhappily but MwC is sort of a once-you've-seen-it...

> that speaking car one

Knight Rider.

> that dog playing basketball

Air Bud.

I think Hazard didn't sound stereotype at all, like, nobody had a clue why the car was called General Lee, or what the confederate flag meant.

It was just a fun show. Magnum PI, Different Strokes, McGiver.. were just as popular.

I’m not aware of a single person who thinks that, and neither was that the claim of your parent comment.

People understand TV shows are fiction.

dallas was huge in dubai in the 80s. like to the extent that people would plan to sit home on the evening it was on.

(I didn't watch it; my parents believed soap operas were unsuitable for kids)

Fabrice Bellard in particular (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrice_Bellard)

The "making of" video is also great : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTlNVUmBA28

Actually this seems to be from 2013.

You already know this, but I would add that under strict aliasing rules, this is only valid because x and y point to the same type.

The most common example is when y is float* and someone tries to access its bitwise representation via an int*.

(Please correct me if I'm wrong)

I think the comment was referring to this:

"In early 2019, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) sought a merger with French automaker Renault, and reached a provisional agreement with the company. However, the behaviour of the French government during negotiations led to the abandonment of the deal; The Economist reported that "for FCA this portended future interference." Nissan also had various concerns of the impact of the proposal on its alliance with Renault."

And that change in 2009 (Sarkozy) has been very controversial from the start, as the restaurant owners were supposed to use the tax break to boost employment but that did not happen (surprise!).

While only a small part of Turkey is in Europe, that part is very important (Istanbul).

Turkey is also still officially applying for EU membership although neither side wants it these days and the process is all but dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accession_of_Turkey_to_the_Eur...

Only half of Istanbul is in Europe, and while the historical core is on the European side, most of the modern city center (Taksim etc) is on the Asian side.

Taksim is on the European continent though:

You're right! It's on the east side of the Golden Horn, but still west of the Bosphorus.
