29 People Share Things That Americans Do Which Require An Explanation For Non-Americans

We lock it when we are away or sleeping, or just chilling and wouldn't immediately notice if someone walked in, but not when we're awake, aware, and home. At least, my family does that.

It's easy to use, easily disposable, and some things that cook in the oven need to be cooked in them, or something similar like tinfoil, or it won't cook properly, or, rather, the way most Americans like it..

How else would you pronounce it? The pronunciation is close enough that if you can speak English well, than you would probably pronounce it that way. It's like my sister's name, Taima. It's supposed to be pronounced Ta-I-ma, but if you say it enough, fast enough, it sounds like Ti-E-ma, which is how everyone says it.

My grandparents are six hours away, in the middle of Washington, while we are right on the border of Washington and Oregon. Six hours is not that long. Than again, my mom says that me and my sister are the best kids on car rides, because we read our books the whole time rather than ask 'are we there yet?' so it might seem shorter.

Well, if you were going to Greece, or France, or another country, than unless you are going to a really famous city, like Athens or Paris, or you were giving directions for the plane ticket they should get, you wouldn't say the city. It's enough to know that they are going to another country.

It's the time that you get better responsibilities, get crushes, start being taken seriously by your parents and other adults, you look like a fully-grown adult and can be a little more confident about showing yourself off (if you want), you can legally have a job and are usually earning a lot more money without all of the cost of living shit, you can stay out late, chose the classes you want rather than just the electives, afford your own things instead of go crying to your parents for that $100 necklace that was at the mall that would look good for prom, or ask your parents for money to buy your girlfriend an expensive gift, you can drive, you are probably at some point going to have a more serious relationship but not super serious, where you are still just totally in love. I've never experienced any of this except for the going to high school part, but I'm not even halfway through yet, so I have hope, even though I don't have a social life.

It's slurred. The American accent.

A=Amazing, B=Better (than c), C=Crass, D=Dreadful, E=EMBARRASSING, F=Fail. Most of them don't stand for anything. A: Excellent, equivalent to 95 to 100 percent, B: Good, equivalent to 85 to 94 percent, C: Fair, equivalent to 76 to 84 percent, D: Passed, equivalent to 75 percent, E: Failed, less than 75 percent. E led to confusion, because some weren't sure if it was excellent or fail, so they switched it to F

My mom has a RAM truck. We were commuting for a while, between Vancouver and Albany, but then Mama was able to do school from home, and she stays here most of the time. Whenever she goes there to get something one of us really needs, we always take that and put as much as we can from out Albany house into the truck. The last big thing we loaded in there were six-foot and 3-foot cat trees for our five cats. We would have had to rent out a U-Haul if we didn't have that. Also, trucks run on diesel more often (I think) so it's better for the environment.

I think they new a football field would be huge and just took a measurement that already existed and stuck it as standard field size. Either that or they knew it would be huge and wanted to have something to call something that size.

You CAN be one if you work hard enough. Doesn't mean you will. The message is, you don't know what potential you have until you've reached it, and then there might be more. Also, if everyone was a billionaire, than a billion dollars would be normal, and a trillion would be the ultimate goal.

I've heard it both ways, but it is confusing.

29 People Share Things That Americans Do Which Require An Explanation For Non-Americans

I had to look this up, and it seemed stupid until now, and I'm an american. 300 years ago, it was a lot harder to accurately measure temperature. No two thermometers ever gave the same reading, making it virtually impossible to come up with a consistent, reliable temperature measurement system. So one guy managed to get two thermometers to come up with the same reading one day, and he seized his chance. He set the lowest temperature that he could get salt water down to as 0º, and then for some reason, made his other fixed temperature, the body's temperature, 96º. When the rest of the world had switched over to the metric system, the congress decided it was high time we switched, too. However, the law was written as optional, and no one wanted to switch over, learning an entirely new system of measurements. This is a major problem, though. It makes it so that American children have to learn the conversion equations for the metric system in science when they'll forget it in a year, making it a pointless waste of time. And there are far more opportunities for confusion in all fields, like medications, by making a mistake with a conversion and accidentally overdosing an otherwise harmless medication, or underdosing a very critical medication, such as one to help with sleeping, or personality disorders, or a diet pill. I don't want to switch, just because it would be frustrating, but we should, or rather, we should have switched a long time ago.

We don't want to pay more taxes. It's an excuse. If we pay just a little more taxes, everybody, the people that can and can't afford it, will have semi-free hospital, doctor, ER, etc cetera visits. We're not all idiots, but enough are that we won't change.

A lot of people are cutting their hair at home, and it's easy to make a mistake. I'm also upvoting this back to zero, because from the looks of it someone downvoted it because they thought you asked a stupid question, when the only stupid question is the one you already know the answer to, and it's stupid that they downvoted it over something so trivial.

I don't think it's a good idea to go extreme with diets, or anything, for that matter. I do understand that you can get all needed nutrients without meat-we rarely by straight up milk anymore after reading in How Not To Die and watching a document called forks over knives what milk does to you in the amounts that most people have it in, so while we do use real cheese and yogurt, we don't by jug milk anymore and prefer rice milk-but some people just like the taste of a burger, or of a steak, fresh off the grill. It's in the nature of a lot of animals to eat other animals. We can adopt more humane ways of killing animals, and we can try to petition against it by checking where you get your food from, but eating meat isn't inherently bad. We have made it a bad thing. In more moderate, efficient, and humane ways, it might be a good balance. I get it that you said plant based, not to become a vegetarian, so I get that you might already understand this, but just throwing it out.

To Bebe, saying that animal hunting should be banned: I've never experienced this before, but when my mom grew up, my grandparents couldn't afford food from stores. They had to hunt often. I don't think they did it for fun, although I have gotten the impression that Mom was good at it. They would go out every week, especially winters, and hunt in the mountains. They lived in Montana, an American state that is known for being large but having a proportionately small population, and having lots of wildlife. They hunted only when they needed it-often-and made use of what they could. Twice, a friend of theirs preserved the skin to hang it up, but other than that, there is no sign that they used to hunt, except for hunting guns. I agree, you shouldn't be hunting primarily for being able to sell the coats, but sometimes, we need to follow the natural order of the world, and revert to the predator-eats-prey world.

Not wired bras are looser. I put my phone in my bra when I don't have pockets (read: all the time) and with my wired ones, it stays in fine, but with a not wired bra, I feel like it's going to fall.

I think it's this pink gel-like thing that you put into holes in your walls. It fills in the whole, turns white when it dries, and then you paint the right color over it.

But it doesn't belong in your body. And it's not natural. And it's not sealed in your body, there's an opening (hopefully. If not, something's wrong.)

Never lend them a book again. I accidentally ruined 2 of my aunties books, one I spilled a 2L drink all over as I was pouring myself a drink and the other got ruined when I moved house and one of my candles melted all over it. You know what I did, bought my aunty brand new ones without her asking coz that is the right thing to do.

It's so difficult to get rid of old textbooks, they get outdated really fast and schools always require specific editions. I tried to relocate my old school books for years but in the end i had to recycle them.

30 Funny Pics From Parents Stuck In Quarantine With Their Kids

I think that people should do thing like this on a regular basis. Can you imagine how much fun it would be if we just played more often as our children do? Can you imagine showing up for work and it was totally cool for anyone to wear whatever made them happy that day? A wedding dress, a batman suit, medieval garb, a tiara, facepaint. Especially now, life seems very short...too short.
