What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Where did the false claim that Haitian immigrants are eating pets come from?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

Why is it after eating almonds when I’m occupied, I don’t feel mild itch, but as soon as I have nothing to do, I feel mildly itchy?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
