It makes sense to start with the day, but I guess it's what you get used to

it should be called Handegg!

We choose from a lot more at first, eventually narrowing it down to two and choosing from them.

This also goes for strict gun laws. Why do Americans think strict gun laws won't work in their country when it works in literally all other developed countries?

As an irish person I dont mind it, it is nice for people to be proud of their heritage. What I do mind is when they ask do I know paddy mcsomething from donegal. I know Ireland's small but we don't all live in one village. Oh and the accent impersonations are damn annoying...although in my experience the English are the worst for imitating accents.

The other day when they announced America now has the highest C19 infections of any country an american in the comments said "BS, I'm sure Europe has more". Seems some Americans think Europe is a country.

Why was fahrenheit even invented? The metric system just makes so much more sense. Freezing point is 0C and boiling point is 100C. A litre is 1000millilitres, 100 centimetres is 1 metre etc.

thats not just American. I think it depends on the person. I have local friends who do and local friends who dont, and American friends who do and dont.

I don't know about other Americans, but at our house, we just call it TUNA.

Because you don't need a bloody scale to measure grams. All you need is a simple cup with lines. DUH!

Well actually, most of the time we say that we don't give a s**t, so.....

I tried changing it to "the poopery" but people won't listen to me

I don't think that, nor have I ever thought that. I don't know anyone who does. Where did you even come up with that nonsense.

I don't think I know anybody who lives like they have free healthcare - quite the opposite actually. "Is it truly bad enough to go see a doctor or can we survive without going"? Nobody want those bills that follows a doctors visit!!

Some Americans also love making fun of people who speak English with a foreign accent, when they themselves can only speak one language

Anything to not use the metric system whats next: glazed donuts per bald eagle who knows

I hear it said at least 3 different ways depending on what news channel you watch

Because it's in a MOVIE!! We don't do that IRL.

gas

Because educators didn't want parents to think E meant "Excellent"

Don't get me started on how Americans pronounce 'mirror'. They miss out the 'o' and say "mirrrrr". Madness!

High school was pretty much the worst time in my life. My daughter is going through it now and I wish I could just fast forward her outta there.

Americans get MAD? Rather they probably just don't know which sport you're speaking of. In America, football and soccer are two different sports. That's probably why they don't know what you're talking about. As for being "mad..." I doubt they are mad about it, LOL.

Yeah but then you also have 'drinks halls' in germany with liquor, beer, water, soda... Why? Also you're ignoring the "dry county" thing where within one state many counties may sell absolutely zero alcohol and the next does.

Lol that's not just America, where did they get this idea?

Go to any grocery in Louisiana, you will find liquor. Go to any gas station, you will find liquor. Go to any pharmacy, you will find liquor. And yet.....we still have liquor stores too! (And drive-through daiquiri shops, but that is beside the point.)

The UK have Off-Licences which exclusively sell alcohol (and snacks of course, we're no monsters!)

The selling of Alcohol is regulated by the states. This was part of the compromise in getting rid of the National Prohibition Amendment. States that were still anti-alcohol (mostly the more religious states) couldn't bann it anymore but could put all kinds of regulations around how it could be sold to placate the religious people who saw it as sinful. In many states it's just like you describe. It's just sold in the Super market like anything else except they still ask for ID if you buy it.

We are conservative, even democrats. And not everywhere is allowed to sell liquor. It must be closely monitored. You’ll even find security guards there to make sure no one underage gets in. Why would you want to travel to a store without knowing wether they have what you’re looking for or not?

Depends on the state, its not a federal law.

Puritan history and various states of prohibition throughout history. So anything above basic beer is generally more regulated in how and when it can be distributed and is inconvenient for regular grocery stores to deal with.

Welcome to Finland. You can get beer and cider and mixers in supermarket, but only up to 5,5At%. And only between 9-21. Anything above that, you go to alko or Estonia.

Some states do sell beer and wine in the grocery stores and sell liquor at an ABC store.

It was like that like 20 years ago

Dumb laws

In America, government regulation took hold in the period known as "Prohibition". It became illegal to make, sell, purchase, or imbibe alcohol of any kind at one point. When it was legalized again, there were certain regulations that went into place. In some states, it is illegal to sell alcohol in a grocery store. Thus, the liquor store became a thing. Also, some states won't allow grain alcohol or spirits in grocery stores. Beer and wine are ok, but not gin or scotch.

Trust me, we wish it was all in one shop..

This varies state-to-state, state being a concept Europeans in particular cannot grasp.

Our supermarkets has liquor sold in it. All liquor stores around my aria that I know about have a drive though window so there's that.

Because the grocery store isn’t big enough for all the varieties and I don’t want to trip on feral children while holding a glass bottle.

This is silly. We have liquor stores in Australia too, at least in WA... and I've lived in the US in Washington and the alcohol there was just sold inside the supermarket. So in some places its like the opposite of what he's saying.

It depends on the state. Some state laws allow for alcohol to be sold in supermarkets, and some don't. The ones that don't have liquor stores.

We have liquor stores in Australia, also called bottle shops, and drive in bottle shops.

and why if you buy a bottle of anything you have to carry it around with the paper bag? as if seeing someone who is sticking to a paper bag on the street, one does not know that a spirit of some kind is being drained.

It's the same in many countries. You cant buy alcohol in a supermarket everywhere. In sweden It's called systembolaget and its only open mon-fri 10-19 and 10-15 on saturdays. The only alcohol you can buy at a supermarket is beer at 3,5 %, that wont get you drunk unless you try reeeeallly hard

Because in some parts, mainly the Bible Belt, the supermarkets may not want to sell it and also if you buy it in a liquor store there's more discretion.

Why do you NOT put cheese on everything??

I don't think people do, at least where I'm from in the states.

I pronounce it Bond, James Bond

They are handy when you bring cooked food to a meeting/people etc.
