50 Times People Just Had To Take A Screenshot Of Americans Being Unbelievably Clueless

Great answer.

The few, the loud, the uneducated.

The internet has helped us see how much of a total s**t show the USA is... they can't hide behind the propaganda machine we call movies

oop-

Nice comeback.

That’s an official Twitter account? Good god.

Homosexuality is illegal in Liberia. Maybe it was deliberate? *reaching*

I was older than I would EVER care to publicly admit when I learned that “military time” I often heard referred was not some secret, complicated way of working out the time you’re only privy to having served in the army but simply the reading of a 24 hour clock.

Ah yes, military time. Or normal time, as we say in Germany.

Or known as normal time in Germany - military would be saying stuff like "Tomorrow at zero-sixhundred"

It's the normal standard of time in my country, didn't know it was 'military' elsewhere :D

How many Tide Pods did this kid eat?

I didn’t learn military time until after I left school. I had heard of it in movies but I never understood how it worked until my mid to late teens.

We just call it time over here

I've been using 24h time format since I was like 10? Just to wake up at the right time in the middle of the night to watch live football (soccer in the US) games.

I've known how to read "military time" since I was like 10

I learned hoe to read it when I was like 14.

I set all my clocks to military time because it's easier for me.

haha

i am just so used to normal time

recruit you for what official time keeper

Military time is the only way to not f**k up your alarm.

what's wrong about reading of a 24 hour clock?

Using military time in the hospital probably prevented many errors.

Ha, this sad individual has clearly never left the island. All of Europe uses 24 hours!

Most of the world uses 24 hour time. I learned it as a child since my father served in the Air Force for 27 years. By using it you don't have any ambiguity of morning or evening.

While it is called "military time" you are aware that it is based on the fact that there are actually 24 hours in a day, not just 12... right? ...and that since the military operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it only makes sense that they use the 24-hour clock..?

Netherlands have a 24 hours clock, it's normal here. And I've learned the USA way of time since I have a lot of American friends, it's really not complicated at all.

Former SGT in USAR here---I keep my phone on "Military Time" because that's what the rest of the world uses. If you can't figure out MT, or ACTUAL time in the rest of the world, you need to go back to elementary school.

The military is just about the only institution in the US that uses the more logical (i.e, small to large) date format of day/month/year.

Hahahahahaha

😂

Bro, my sister is 14 and has her phone set to the 24 hour clock. She hates fitness and pretty much anything military-related. LMAO.

11 am, 12 pm, 1 pm. And 11 pm, 12 am, 1 am. But 24h time is difficult to understand. Sure.

I am American And I use a 24 hour clock it is actually on right now

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 etc 29 etc. i have proven i can count past twelve

Funny. My dad was a professor of foreign languages. In our (American) house, we learned 24-hour time; it's a lot more convenient than having to add am or pm. And dates should be written day, month, year! (Unless you're naming files on your computer, in which case, it should be year, month, day.)

I’m an American and can read military time and I’m not even military. It’s sad so many Americans are ignorant like this making us all look bad as a result

24 hour clock isn't difficult, my son has Down Syndrome and has been able to understand it since he was 6. 1700 that means 5 o'clock

military time is a bit different and confusing at first, i get it, but JEEZ thats one heck of an overreaction

Uhh, it's just Impossible to confuse for am/pm so clearer. Personally I wish the world would go to a metric time system.

It’s not really “military” time.

Plenty of people who are unfamiliar with military (24 hr) time find it difficult. This is not unique to Americans. I grew up in New Zealand & we didn't use it there.

That just made me laugh way way too hard!!

Military time? O_o
