56 Hilarious Times Americans Proved They Had No Idea How The World Works
Interview With Expert
We live in a world where the internet lives in our pockets and somehow, basic facts still manage to slip through the cracks.
While not everyone is clueless, some Americans seem to live by the motto “ignorance is bliss.”
It’s not always the small stuff, sometimes it’s geography, sometimes politics, and sometimes things that should be common sense.
Bored Panda has put together a list to showcase some of the most head‑scratching and facepalm‑worthy moments that perfectly capture this kind of ignorance.
Get ready to cringe and laugh because the funny (and slightly painful) part is how confident some of these takes are.

We Are The Most Creative Nation In The World
Believing that the US is still the greatest country in the world has led some people into pretty embarrassing territory.
It’s not just casual online comments either, like people saying the dollar is unbeatable or that Fahrenheit somehow makes more sense than Celsius.
Many studies and surveys have shown that a number of Americans can’t answer even basic questions about their own government, let alone the rest of the world.

"While In Germany I Found An Aldi. The Aldi Is Nothing Like An American Aldi"
Zig Zag Wanderer 3 weeks ago (edited)
No, it isn't. Because Aldi actually is German, not American. It's a difficult concept.....
A 2019 survey by the Council on Foreign Relations and National Geographic found that Americans only got about half the questions right on geography and world affairs. Only 6% scored 80% or higher, even though most say global issues matter to them.
Back in 2011, when Newsweek gave 1,000 Americans the official US citizenship test, 29% couldn’t name the vice president and nearly three-quarters couldn’t explain why the US fought the Cold War. They aptly titled their result as “how ignorant are Americans?”
Another survey found that more people could name characters from 'The Simpsons' than the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.

"American Women Don’t Have Armpit Hair"
Bored Panda spoke to George A Barnett, PhD, a professor of communication at the University of California, to understand why some Americans are clueless and what perpetuates this stereotype.
“The US is isolated from the rest of the world, with direct contacts with only Canada and Mexico. This makes travel to other countries difficult. Only 20 some percent have passports to visit other countries and those with passports tend to be those who go on cruises or to all-inclusive resorts,” he says.
He believes that a lot of American news media outlets mostly concentrate on domestic events, not on what is taking place around the world. "Research indicates that the media only reports on those countries that are physically proxemic and culturally and economically similar."

Barnett notes that the American educational system focuses heavily on American and Western/European civilization and history. “We are taught nothing about Asia, Africa and Latin America.”
He says research on social media also indicates that people have network ties with only those that are similar, which could be another reason why Americans are less aware about the rest of the world.

I, as an American, cannot fathom the fact how some of my fellow countrypeople apparently can't handle the fact that it's the same language with just a FEW words spelled slightly differently. Or that American English did NOT come first, since, you know, the whole colonies thing. Seriously, though, how can you look at the word "colour" and apparently get angrily offended by the letter u?
#15
The Universal 13th Amendment
Surely, Americans aren’t the only ones who get facts wrong. But their voices are everywhere online, so their mistakes get noticed more.
And with English being the main language of the internet, their clueless comments travel even further.
But that doesn’t mean they get a free pass — if anything, it’s all the more reason to pay attention and actually know what’s going on in the rest of the world. Or at least fact check from reliable sources before posting something online.

"Yet We Occupy Your Country With Our Military"
Oskar vanZandt 3 weeks ago
Amrica actually reduced its military presence by 90% in Greenland prior to laying claim on the sovereign territory... When I heard about the ludicrous idea of the US offer to possibly purchase Greenland, I thought about all the people Trump src3wed in his business deals along the way. And he knows nothing about " the art of the deal" as his tactics are intimidation and bullying when he doesn't get his way- in the case of Greenland with military force!
“Americans can’t ignore things that are happening on the other side of the world, because they do impact us. … Water availability and climate change and religious conflict — those are things that don’t pay attention to borders,” says Kathleen Schwille, former vice president of education at the National Geographic Society.

It can be frustrating and challenging if you try to reason with ignorant people, especially when they hide behind their keyboards, and it’s easy to jump straight into an argument — but that rarely leads anywhere productive.
You can approach such conversations with curiosity rather than being annoyed so that you actually help someone learn, not just send them in an automatic defense mode.
Provide facts from reliable sources to clear doubts if someone is willing to listen to reason.

Someone Doesn’t Understand Dd/Mm/Yy
Some people aren’t always ignorant on purpose, maybe they just haven’t had the chance to learn or the right environment or sources to help them.
Yet, we can't deny the fact that a lot of people online say things just to get a reaction and aren’t that interested in educating themselves. In that case, the best response might be no response at all.
Sometimes, the smartest move is simply to choose your battles. Not every dumb remark needs a rebuttal.

Americans are both egotistical and insecure. They're sure the U.S. is the best country in the world, but they flip out if they see another country's flag in the U.S. They don't understand that they can love the U.S. without insisting that everyone else love it too. I mean, you can love your mother and think she's the best mother in the world, but not want to punch someone who says their mother is the best. Americans need to chill. And stop with the American flags everywhere. We all know what country we're in.

During the past 250 years, Europe got rid of the "all power to one" principle and established pretty sound voting and election procedures. The very basis of this is a multi-party system, which results in parliaments/governing bodies in which multiple opinions are present and by this keeping extreme opinions under control. The voters do have an actual choice, and every vote counts immediately for the end result. No weighing, no gerrymandering, no "winner takes it all". The USA still sticks to a 250 year old, outdated system, of which the core is "all power to one single person" and a two-party system is cherished.

Funny how when it's a more conservative/republican leaning person and they say something stupid, it's because Americans are idiots and are doing this to themselves and destroying the world by existing, ect ect. When it's a liberal it's because the RePuBliCaNs ArE dEfUnDiNg ThE sChoOLs tHe PoOr ThInG dOeSn'T kNoW aNy BeTtEr. Just a hint- the 22 year old drunk girl on the street in that video you saw has more to her than the 5 seconds you saw of them in that clip, republican or not. I can practically see your finger or mouse moving towards the downvote button, but before you do, just think about maybe next time, just take literally ONE second to just consider that people are allowed to think different than you, and that doesn't make them a bad person. I strongly believe in diversity of thought. I admit, there are a lot of stupid Americans. But guess what, there's a lot of stupid people, period. Republicans aren't the only loud obnoxious people out there.

The most annoying thing about americans is there constant insistence that they are right and everybody not american is actually below them. Just yesterday i had an american explaining to me why i am wrong to be angry about someone who cheated me because this is a buddhist country ( i am in cambodia atm) and i have to let it go because this is the custom here. What annoyed me most was the condescending way he explained to me why it is like that and how buddhism works. I am a buddhist my entire life 🙄
