The US is a big place, so non-Americans should be sometimes forgiven for having misconceptions about, say, which states have or don’t have a Cracker Barrel. But the world is a whole lot bigger, which often doesn’t stop some Americans from confidently making utterly incorrect claims.
So we’ve gathered some of the best (or worst) things Americans have said online. Load up your hotdog with ketchup, mustard and relish, get comfortable, warm up your eyes because you are about to be rolling them, upvote the worst examples and share your own stories in the comments down below.

Corgies must have a British accent, you can't convince me otherwise.
More likely the other way around, no one in MAG A heard of Greenland until the orange shart wanted to invade it.
Euros won't be of much use in Scotland, but at least they're asking.
It beggars belief that a grown person could be so f#cking dumb and survive.
This drives me nuts. It's not that hard. Subtract 1200 from anything 1300 to 2359 and you have the pm equivalent. I was taught this in a US elementary school. Probably second or third grade.
We learned that in elementary school. God, this list is making my head hurt. Worst part about it, I have met plenty of people here that really are that stupid.
Ma, or mam, mama or mater if you want to be posh. Oh maternal one when referring to my mother.
Well, that's true. The gdp per capita of the poorest US state (Mississippi) in 2024 was ~$49,800 - $53,900. The UK gdp was ~$47,000 - $49,100. However, even though the UK has a lower GDP per capita than Mississippi, it consistently outperforms the state on key measures that define a high standard of living, particularly in health, safety, and social welfare.

Even if it was more money than Europeans would ever make, still not worth it.
Your businesses refuse to pay a basic wage, keep your lifestyle to yourself.
Europe... Where our brick and stone walls have defied knives for - well, round here, there's one house I could take you to that was built in the 1600s (it's got a tile built into it stating the year of its construction). Just an ordinary house - never mind the actual castles...
He confused the Swiss with all Europeans. Calvin discontinued free will as he discovered predeterminism during Reformation. The Swiss are cool with that (well, they don't have a choice, do they?).
Yeah, only I'll add a contrarian opinion here. Potatoes evolved in the Americas. I can't help thinking that maybe someone left-pondian thought to turn spuds into fried chips before Belgium was created (circa 1830-1839, for those who don't know).
This problem emerges when you convince people that they live in the greatest country on earth*. Then you provide them with one of the sh!ttiest education systems available. You get a people so stupid yet so egotistical and convinced they cannot be wrong, that they become a world laughing stock. Not only that, but they then elect a president so amoral, stupid and venal that the rest of the world shuns them. *it's not, by any respectable metric,
You know there are dumbáss Europeans too. We shouldn't be the world's punching bag even though a crazy dumbàss is our president.
