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.

"Can I go and buy a gun while I put up my weekly shopping?" Absefreakinglutely

It's even weirder. Many states were 18 as late as the mid-80s when Fed really pushed hard and started denying funding if they didn't. In a couple of states, you can't buy it but are legal to drink it in the presence of family 21+ (parent/guardian/spouse). And a couple of states, there's the purchase age but no penalties for underage drinking (for the drinker anyway).

Point well made but, teeeechnically, an 18yo can only borrow $5500 in student loans (freshman year, student specific).

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.

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.

You may have states larger than the UK, and that doesn't change the fact that London is still f*cking huge.

A lot of it seems like that.

I think I met Alvita Zane in passing. She was on her way out.

In defence of the GBBO, I suspect in the Mexican equivalent nobody would be able to pronounce Worcestershire sauce or know what a plum duff is...

Over the years of living in the UK I have adapted to using the British names for things (elevator/lift, sidewalk/pavement, vacation/holiday etc), but I will not give up my pronunciation of mirror......it will always be "mir" to me lol.

New sport! Play both ways, same field, simultaneously! Four teams take the field but teams for both versions are paired up and can help each other out...
