The United States is a fascinating place. Where else can you find stunning beaches, amazing mountains, vast deserts, spray cheese in a can and some of the most patriotic people on the planet? The U.S. will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I’m convinced that I’ll never find tastier peanut butter anywhere else in the world.

But just like any other country, there are a wide range of citizens, spanning from brilliant scholars with PhDs to people who probably shouldn’t have access to social media. We took a trip to the [Stuff] Americans Say subreddit and gathered some of their funniest screenshots below. Keep reading to also find a conversation with one of the moderators of the group, and please remember, pandas, that these posts are all in good fun!

    @BrunoVI Not true. You can claim Italian citizenship if one of your grandparents was Italian and you have birth certificates to show it, depending on where those grandparents were born and whether said grandparent was an Italian citizen all his life or gave up their citizenship. It also depends on where you were born. I don't know what the nationality agreements are between The USA and Italy. Nobody gives a f**k about your "heritage". Truly, nobody cares.

    I know this has nothing to do with this specific item, but I can't help but think that being a proud American is like having a fetish for pain and suffering. Like what honestly is good about living in the USA unless you like to be paid poorly, get little to no paid time off, have minimal rights (ahem abortion laws), can't afford to give birth because the hospital bills but then also don't get time off to take care of your newborn, everyone is either left or right since you can't see the benefit in more than 2 parties of government, and your economy has gone for a dump. Sure you make a ton of money as a nation, but 95% of that goes to 10 people so all of you are mostly poor while some elite few pad the stats, oh and your guns and school shootings. It's just a kinky fetish to enjoy living like that

    The U.S. is a young country. European countries have been there forever. Their heritage is set and they don't need to define themselves like we do. When our country is 1,000+ years old, we won't care either.

    No, it isn't a young country, you are very many generations in now. There are much younger countries who don't do this - some of them European. Also, the US appears to be a country that clings on to things that don't necessarily make sense (2nd amendment for instance), so are you really going to let it go in 1,000 years?

    Whether you’re from the United States or not, there’s a good chance you know quite a bit about the country. American media tends to dominate movie theatres and Netflix accounts across the globe, and I have yet to visit a country where I didn’t hear American pop music playing on the radio or in a random grocery store. 

    But one of the downsides of having all of this exposure is that the country becomes the butt of many jokes too. And if anyone gets caught posting ignorant remarks online, there’s no chance they’ll get away with it. That’s where the [Stuff] Americans Say subreddit comes in. This group has amassed an impressive 675K members since its creation in 2013, and it never seems to run out of content.

    To find out more about [Stuff] Americans Say, we reached out to the group’s moderator team. Lucky for us, one member was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share some background info about the community. 

    “It seems to have been started in 2013 by a British user who also created a number of other subs around the same time (e.g. r/britishproblems, r/metal, r/worstof, r/america etc.). It was quickly followed by r/[Stuff]EuropeansSay, which seems to have been set up by someone who objected to this sub, but is now moderated by many of the same people as this sub.”

    This kind of thinking is one of a myriad reasons we're so backwards and ignorant. The problem stems from such thinking as: wherever in the world we travel, we're going to be able to speak English as comfortably as we do at home; English is the main world language, so everyone ought to speak it so we can all communicate; a refusal to believe that other countries can exhibit nationalistic pride in their language; the myth of Manifest Destiny; a belief that English speakers are superior to other people - and the list goes on. I have encountered all these idiocies in my midwest American state. I wish The Ugly American was required reading for all students. It changed my attitude entirely.

Apparently, pizza is a common conversation topic in the group too, as well as healthcare.

    Finally, the moderator wanted to make it clear that this group is not out to bash the United States. “Many people think we moderators are somehow 'anti-American' simply for pointing out the dumb things some Americans sometimes say,” they told Bored Panda. “In fact, we represent several nationalities, some of us are actually American ourselves or dual citizens (which is advantageous when trying to determine whether posts are 'uniquely American' or not).

    The accuser needs to study their own laws before throwing stones... (though the less said about the Habsburgs the better..) Using the UK as an example. The Royal bloodlines are convoluted. Elizabeth and Philip were second cousins once removed (by descent from Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel) and third cousins (by descent from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert). So considerable gap between bloodlines. I believe the right to marry a cousin in the UK is under debate in parliament at this time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage_law_in_the_United_States

    🤣 Never mind anything else: some people walk from Germany to France. I mean, what with them, erm, sharing a land border? Imfamously, plenty of soldiers have done so (in both directions - Napoleon came before Kaiser Bill) ... 😬

    It's only called a marathon if it's a 42km run. Go and ask someone from Greece for the reason.

    I would have thought it was blindingly obvious why Americans have to be told they are foreign in the UK. ",But our ancestors came over on The Mayflower!" "We speak better English than you do in England!"

    Yea. But initially you're referring to the Frwnch Republic in 1958, not the French Republic. The Frwnch Republic was originally founded in 1500. But they weren't happy with it, so they killed everyone, burned all the, trees and started again in 1958.

    This also reminds me of the time when the Aussies won more gold at a swimming event but the Yanks couldn't stand that so they changed the table to show the overall medals won instead, since everything has to be a "win" so far as they are concerned -> https://www.foxsports.com.au/more-sports/american-broadcasters-change-world-championships-medal-tally-to-show-america-on-top-despite-less-gold-medals-than-australia/news-story/2cddcbc1e594373a4009a*5353beab08

    Your great-great-great grandparents are very mad with you at this point. Just pray, they won't be waiting for you in your afterlife at the end of that light-tunnel.
