“Canadians Can’t Just Casually Come Here, Either. But Apparently Their Wildfire Smoke Is Like ‘No Passport? No Problem!’ 😒”
Elladine DesIsles 35 minutes ago (edited)
Dear USA, we were trying to smudge the evil and insanity out of your government. Unfortunately, there isn't enough white sage on Earth for that, so we had to improvise. But seriously, I promise, the smoke was miserable here in Canada, too. Not to mention the many Canadians losing their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. But sure, blame us for the basic scientific facts that your public schools aren't allowed to teach.

12 Is The Highest Number On The Clock,
LakotaWolf (she/her) 30 minutes ago
Before everyone comes at us stupid Americans, please remember that we are not taught 24hr time (what we call "military time".) It is not taught to us in school - we are taught 12hr AM/PM time. All of our clocks are 12hr clocks, not 24hr clocks. We are not used to 24hr time. It's not because we are "stupid", it's because we're ignorant XD Yes, we can learn it, and this person above IS an idiot because they didn't even know 24hr time exists, apparently, but we're not all just inherently turning away from 24hr time because we hate it XD We're unlearned.

Justin Case 10 minutes ago
I can read Chinese and Japanese. I used to work with a guy who thought he had a Chinese tattoo that read "greatest surfer". It actually read "wet pants". I met another guy who thought he had a Chinese tattoo that read "cool guy". It actually read "frozen sausage".

Having Your Phone On Military Time Is Wild
LakotaWolf (she/her) 26 minutes ago
We're unlearned and ignorant, not "stupid", I promise XD We're not taught 24hr time in school, and to most of us Americans, it's only used in the military/armed forces (hence why most of us refer to it as "military time".) People who outright deny its existence ARE idiots, of course, but most Americans are purely ignorant that most of the world uses 24hr clocks/time instead of AM/PM.
