70 Times People Saw Americans Embarrassing Themselves Online And Just Had To Take A Screenshot (New Pics)
Interview
No matter where you live, you probably have an idea of what’s going on in the United States. Even if you don’t follow global politics closely, you have likely absorbed information about the American president through headlines or conversations with colleagues.
But when you live in the US, it’s pretty easy to be in a bubble. There’s so much news coverage circulating about what’s happening at home that people sometimes forget to educate themselves about the rest of the world. And unfortunately, some of these individuals are a bit too confident when making comments online. Below, you'll find some of the funniest posts from the [Stuff] Americans Say subreddit. Now, we understand that these images certainly don’t reflect the views or intelligence level of an entire nation. But we hope that you’ll find them entertaining, even if you are a proud American!

“There Has Never Been Another Nation That Has Existed Much Beyond 250 Years”

Maybe, though not likely. Columbus would have been aware of the circumference of the Earth. It was known for about 1500 years by that point. The Portuguese were also aware of a landmass to the west of Europe, and Columbus was from Portugal, and closely connected to the Portuguese monarchy. Did he think he was sailing to India? Or was he making a play to ingratiate himself with Spain, by giving then information about a new world?

This is what happens when you don’t read a book, you don’t travel beyond your border, and you’ve drank the kool aid (and you loved it). When I visited the UK, I wasn’t shocked that the stone wall I was looking at was older than the USA. I’ve always loved history and I’ve always been curious about the world. When I was a kid, I loved watching “The Big Blue Marble” on PBS, which showed us American kids how other kids lived around the world.

Load More Replies...The [Stuff] Americans Say subreddit has been around since 2013 and has amassed nearly 800K members. The group’s goal is to call out amusing and shockingly ignorant comments that Americans make online, but of course, it’s all done in good fun.
To find out how the community has been since the last time we featured it on Bored Panda, we got in touch with one of the group's moderators. "Not much has changed," the mod says. "Trump and his administration (former and present) were already treated as 'low-hanging fruit' here (and in any case, there are many subs dedicated to stupid things Trump and his entourage say, so we want to avoid duplication)."
"There are more posts about things like ICE and tariffs (though most ICE posts tend not to be very lighthearted, so [many] don't make it past pre-moderation)," the mod added.

The US is the planet’s fourth largest producer of film, and the world’s largest producer of music. You can ask plenty of people around the globe what their favorite movie, television show or song is, and there will be a chance that their response came from the United States, regardless of their native country or language.

As a young nation, the United States has done incredible things in less than 250 years. But with great power comes great responsibility. And when you’re the third most populated country on the planet, all eyes are on you. So you better be prepared to be held accountable by your audience.
Everyone deserves to be held accountable for their mistakes, and the internet is a wonderful place to learn and grow! It’s just unfortunate that the most ignorant voices are often the loudest. And in the United States, there are simply more people in general than almost any other country. So with a large population comes a greater amount of people who probably shouldn’t have access to social media.

'Boot' because it was the equivalent of the boot box on the back of horse-drawn carriages. Passengers would change out of their muddy boots and into clean shoes to keep the inside of the carriage clean. The muddy boots were stored in the boot box. 'Bonnet' because the engine cover had a flap on either side secured at the bottom, so it resembled a ladies bonnet that had side pieces covering the ears and which was tied beneath the chin.

And one survey found that 44% of Americans can’t correctly identify EU nations on a map.
So perhaps it’s true that Americans aren’t the best at geography. But plenty of Europeans probably can’t identify more than a handful of American states either. So it might not be fair to dunk on Americans for their geographical knowledge (or lack thereof).

Fun fact: The "English" spoken in Britain, actually isn't near as old as people believe. Rather the modern British accent was developed by the aristocracy in the 19th century to distinguish themselves from the lower classes. The merchant class and finally lower classes imitated this accent until it became the modern English accent. Prior to that time? British English and American Southern English were the most similar.

Not according to what Ive read... American aircraft does not have to follow FAA rules in Europe , but it must follow the rules of the European authority, the EASA, and must meet local regulations.

Fun fact: This kind of misunderstanding has been happening for centuries. The best example of this is the Pennsylvania Dutch community in new England. Those communities trace their lineage back to German settlers. The reason they were called "Dutch" is because the British settlers (the Pennsylvania Dutch were settling when that area was still a British colony) couldn't understand the difference between Deutsch, and Dutch.

Both “Dutch” and “Deutsch” evolved from the Old High German word “diutisc” (or “theodisk”), which meant “of the people”. English speakers adapted it as “Diets” before it split into the modern English “Dutch” and German “Deutsch”. So actually it once was the same.

It was different in many states: 18 in NY but 21 in all the states adjacent to it. (so very lucrative for liquor stores near the border) It was changed nationally because you could vote or be drafted to die for the country at 18. (I turned 21 the year it happened, and been drafted & served at 19) It ruined a lot of nice bars and clubs. When it was 21 you could get away with drinking at 19 or 20 if you behaved yourself. When it went to 18 that became 16 or 17 y.o.'s and that just didn't happen.

And she lost her job because the owner of the place she worked didn't like the negative attention. Second, the police interrogated Luigi for over 30 minutes before reading him his rights. And, they searched his backpack and found the weapon without probable cause or a warrant. All of which makes it "fruit of the poisonous tree" and inadmissible. Anything he said and anything associated with the weapon (prints, bullet striations, possession) cannot be used in court.

Forrest Hobbs 3 weeks ago
Jaya: if you live in Northern Europe, drying clothes in the winter can be a problem. If you just hang them up indoors - if you have the space - you can cause problems with damp. Yes you can open windows to help with that, but that increases the heating bill. A modern efficient condensing tumble dryer is often a good idea. Good insulation and forced home ventilation with heat exchangers is perhaps an even better idea, but expensive to retro-fit. Me? I live in Northern England and dry my clothes on the washing line well over 90% of the time, although this time of year, they do need finishing off indoors.

Hijackers mostly wanted an aircraft full of hostages so your best chance of survival was to keep quiet so they didn't pick you out to make an example of. The events of 9/11 changed all that - but how were any of the passengers on the day to guess that their hijackers were intent on using the aircraft as súicide weapons? And even if someone had guessed, what could you do about it? 🤷 Without training, it's very hard to act effectively.

I'm wading in here, but my understanding is that it isn't so much to do with their ancestry, but more to do with the history of immigration in the USA. I think there were strong communities of Irish, German, Polish, etc. who tired to keep their cultures alive and people continue to identify with it, even though they are far from what the country their ancestors were from is currently like. The key to my understanding was why no one says they are English American: it's because there wasn't that sub culture. So you saying you were American would probably sound odd because it doesn't have the same historical context.

I have a theory that might explain these strange and disturbing phenomena. The government of the United States has always been worried about the loyalty of the common people. Think back to the early national period, and incidents such as the Whisky Rebellion. Due to cheap land and immigration, the right to vote was held by more common people in the United States than compared to other countries. In the 19th century, immigration shifted from western Europe to other countries where religion, society, and culture were very different from the Anglo-Saxon stock that originally settled here. So powers that were had to find a way to transform, for example, Eastern European people with their strange religions (Orthodoxy, Judaism, Catholicism) into good little (Anglo Saxon) loyal Americans. Mandatory public education, which began after the Civil War, became the means by which this goal could be achieved.
Margaret Shannon 3 weeks ago
So we Americans began to be indoctrinated that we were all immigrants Entering into a “melting pot” becoming true (Anglo Saxon) Americans and should be loyal to the USA which is the very best country in the world. This indoctrination program coincided with the amazing transformation of the nation into an economic powerhouse in the latter 19th century, so it’s kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The 20th century the US became a world Power militarily and because the world wars were primarily fought elsewhere and were were on the winning side by the 1950s we were undamaged compared to Europe, Japan, and China. Then the Cold War led to more nervousness in the powerful political elites, so more need to emphasize the US greatness and ideological superiority.
