The 250 year thing is basically completely made up BS

Indeed. The empire you left to make your own with blackjack and hookers was nearly double that. If you want to be facetious too, then probably triple.
250 years is just a rough estimate. As an expert, what's the number you've arrived at?
- It's straight up not a thing, there is no number of years which tends to correspond to the life expectancy of empires
- Three

I hate to be nitpicky about a meme but I love to be nitpicky. This claims is based on bullshit statistics that the author made up or bent to his will. The Ottoman empire alone shows this to be incorrect but Rome too stands out. Besides, what would an arbitrary amount of time have to do with the collapse of complex economic systems. Its bullshit idealism and I hate seeing it.

I am begging the US to collapse though

Also worth pointing out that, while America may be 249 years old, no one would consider it an empire for the majority of that time. Its debatable, but I would argue we didn't really reach an empirical level of power until the late 40s, when we started taking over what was left of the British Empire's influence over the middle-eas5.
- The US has always been a settler-colony, but it became more Imperialist after World War I with the inter-ally debts. It became world hegemon after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, however.
Average. It's just an average. I haven't verified whether the number is accurate (and often it's probably debatable what qualifies as an empire and at what point it fell) but some empires lasting way longer does nothing to disprove 250 years being the average lifespan.

The second part of what you said is still entirely correct of course, that number has no real predictive capabilities for the collapse of the USA.
- It isn't though, I have seen the original source of this claim and its bs. The author just picks and chooses when empires begin and end so that it fits their claim. I would concede the point if it were ever actually an average.

Rome lasted 1,480 years.

The Roman Empire split in 395 AD. The Western Roman Empire, including the city of Rome itself, fell in 476 AD.
in b4 someone says that it is an "average".

that number is made up BS anyways
- Forget about averages, his post isn't even factually correct. Rome did not last 1,480 years.

Mean, mode, or median?

What's the standard deviation look like?

i'm more concerned with what the standard deviant looks like i got to keep up with my fashion
- From post-apocalyptic raiders to antihero Casey Jones, weaponized and armored sports gear is always stylish and fashionable.

Even if this statistic wasn't bullshit, this comic has an inherent cruelty to it that ironically feels very American

(I'm /j)

When someone says "death to America", they aren't saying "death to Americans". A government/state is a regime, not all it's people, despite how much as nationalists love to stoke that sort of patriotism. So I have no problem with the slogan, I call for the fall of the US imperialist regime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_to_America#Interpretation_and_meaning - has some confirmations from various Iranian politicians and a travel writer.
- Usians: "hate the government not the people"
  
  Usians when hearing someone else say "hate the government not the people" about USA: "we're gonna kill you"
- OK, so what's the plan for bringing death to the USA without killing a single American?

Empires don't end, they fizzle out.

It's not correct, but would be nice.

I want to believe

Thankfully, nothing lasts forever.

Despite all the and suffering it has caused and will cause, Trump admin has at least handed us the beginning of a breakdown in US hegemony as trust has eroded with other nations who are all busy pivoting away from it right now.

Unfortunately upon breaking the gridlock, other nations are scrambling to maintain the status quo rather than leaning into the future by redoubling commitments to address human and climate crises before it’s too late for the humans.

Made-up bullshit

Real empires go for much longer.
The US will not be more than a shitstain in the pages of history.
