Saying mathematicians were involved in a process is a compliment :p

How does having a flag on the moon make you free? By that logic, people living in China would now also be free.

We don't even have to calculate anything. We look at it and we just know

What have the Romans done for us?!

I recently needed to take a ride in not one but two wee-yoo wagons-- one to the nearest hospital ER and then the second to a different hospital for the necessary surgery. With my national healthcare coverage, I paid €7,86. An Uber would've cost a lot more, and have no paramedics to keep me stable.

I mean.. It isn't wrong 😂

Ah, the Doctor has arrived.

Hilarious, made me snort!

Never gets old ! 🙃 https://youtube.com/shorts/QH1GgIJ7TPs?si=p6eJXfchdXHZ7QM6

Hey, American Pandas, is this true? It's not true, right?!?

You can also join the army at 18.

British here, everyone I know calls it candy floss. Liking fairy floss though

I'm certain that someone will say that Switzerland is American since America beat them in a war.

If only Europeans had screens in 1350 like the Americans did.

Awe, I don't fault this person. There is so much to learn and understand about another country and their culture, that it is impossible to learn everything, or even a sliver of everything when traveling. I have a friend who immigrated from Malaysia, and even after being here for a couple years, told me one day how they really wanted to buy a " Christmas donut". I thought it was cute that he was getting excited over what I thought, and most native English speaking US Americans would conclude, a red and green decorated donut. Well, I brought him just that a couple days later and learned through some laughs, he was talking about a Christmas wreath! As long as someone is trying, we really shouldn't judge when they don't know every little difference or intricacy of things. These people were in a new country with a different language, money, culture, etc and learned that Latte means milk, and Cafe Latte means the coffee drink.

Here in the US we only set things on fire when the team we support wins a sporting championship.

The facts are stacked high, how will they get out of this one..

I feel very seen. Also, I’m living the dream.

If an American woman says it's fine, it's not fine. Fine is indeed bad.

we (USA) are a nation of sarcasm

This caused some problems in my partner's firm (international company) when asking people to evaluate a training. Germans would say it was "nice" and consider that a very positive review.

This chat and all the comments are so accurate. I usually say "I'm living someone's dream".

So the table seems kinda dated, but the comments after are spot on...

Nope i started being honest with people. Them: How are you?? Me: Livin the nightmare! How bout you?

Those are true - sure, but you should research Southern terms if you want a good laugh. For example, "Bless your heart" could mean anything from sympathy to an insult.

In Britain "not too bad" means anywhere from "fine" to "amazing"

It's nice to have an example of Americans and the rest of the world agreeing with one another and not arguing or trying to one up each other! More like this please.

Or how are you doing today? ‘ I’m here”. (subtext: I pried my head from dreams and rest upon my pillow, I literally would rather be any where on earth that didn’t kill my soul and body, than be here,but I’m so tired and mean I’ll just say this)

Ahh hell. Yep, I say "peachy" all the time and yeah, it's accurate

The last 4 examples show the gist of interpersonal relationships here in the U.S.

I'm afraid of Americans, too. I live in California.

Buddy is the term for either: An ex (when speaking with a current partner, but you still have to tell a story). A friend who's no longer in the picture. Someone you've been friends with for years, but neither of you know what the heck their name is.

Nope. Not where I'm from at least.

When I say, "30 min" that means forever.

Tbh, the first few rely heavily on whether they're said sarcastically...well, the whole list, really.

Hi, How are you?= I f*****g hate you, I hope you die today

Ok, this one made me spit out my tea! Yes we do call it a k**b of butter in the UK

True

❗❗it has come to my attention that this comment is not accurate and does not reflect the reality of Cinco De Mayo. I was taught throughout childhood an inaccurate version of why this holiday is celebrated, among other things (whitewashed history is a real issue). I am sorry if I hurt or offended anyone and I will continue to educate myself about this subject. I am only human, and made a mistake, but I want to learn from it to be better. Thank you to all who commented and brought this to my attention. I am leaving my original post how it is, because I don't want to erase my mistake, I would rather bring attention to it to show that we all still have a lot to learn about others in this country and world ✌️❤️We do celebrate Cinco De Mayo, which is the Mexican Revolution. It isn't a national holiday, but it is celebrated. Lots of fairs, parties, etc. Mexican Americans make up a huge portion of our population, and over the years, many non Mexican Americans have participated in celebrating Cinco De Mayo, some just for a reason to celebrate and party, others because it has integrated to become part of their communities culture especially if you grew up or live in towns and cities with a large Latino community. If we had a Russian American population as big as the Mexican American population, we would more than likely do the same for Red October Revolution. Say what you will about the US, we have many, many issues. But one thing we do well is integrate others cultures and traditions fairly well, since we are technically a country made up of immigrants. And yes, there is a part of our population, (ahem, the right wing, red hat wearing, red staters) that throw a big fit about anything that isn't "white, Christian, and and revolved around them" the majority of us really love the variety that other cultures bring

All true.

Does anyone else picture little baby cars riding in the tea cups?

Do Americans think that countries with national health care don't also have private health care providers?

never gets old... maybe due to no healthcare

Yeah, completely normal plumbing. *Nervously looks at plumbing that was improvised by some dude in 1923 into the 800yo wall and was expended 7 times and is still in use because you need at least three plumbers and 8 archaeologists to do anything with it*

This is awesome. Went to the US as a kid, and with English as a second language, the way they run their words with no real spaces made understanding them really hard.

Quick question, not being an a**e or anything, but why don't Americans pronounce Herbs how it is spelled, with a H rather than Erbs?

Uh-oh, listen up you 185 countries that use Celsius (you can go back to sleep, you 10 countries that use Fahrenheit, all except one of which are American possessions or protectorates): the Americans have threatened to stop ourcallowance unless we see sense and revert to Fahrenheit immediately!

The trick to a good s’more is to not let the marshmallow burst into flames over the campfire. That’s it. That’s all the instructions.
