50 Funny Memes To Sum Up What It’s Like To Live In The USA

The sad part (well, all the parts are sad, honestly) is that easy access to preventative care significantly saves money over all. But, yay for free market capitalism make our healthcare sooo efficient...

Groan! Bad puns always get an upvote.

So you think USA is a developed country?? (just kidding!)

Well, not my generation. I'm one of the gen x evidently that were educated under the Jimmy Carter era in that brief and shining moment of clear thought where the metric system was actually taught alongside the imperial. I would have preferred to have had more time with it, but hey a year is something. At least I get this . Okay. This is comparable to Florida folks wearing coats in 60 degree Fahrenheit, versus my Maine neighbors who moved to SC and would wash their car in shorts anytime the weather was above 40 degrees fahrenheit.

Oh dear.....

This eagle's seen some s**t! 😳

Ouch!

Lord, would you buy me a Mercedes Benz...

Ah, I've been bitten by some evil wee beastie on my hand and had a nasty localised allergic reaction and not gone to the doctors. Saw a pharmacist who gave me some over the counter meds and that did the job. A lot of things don't require a doctor, if unsure a pharmacist can be a good place to check.

"hand egg" 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah you know you've been a jerk when you can't freely walk among your people 😉

Because they love sticking their noses where they don't belong.

This owl is superb!

That's about how much I spent on my student loans!

How is it right you can get married, own guns, join the army, drive, vote all before you are allowed to have an alcoholic drink?

Those Germans don't mess about.

Sadly, no photoshop.

"Screech!" The American Eagle flying over head carrying a flag.

Spiders must be magnets then!

We have the same in South Wales, UK , we have the bigger story ... it's just that the English Government forced us to stop talking in our own language to tell it

"That's 32C. " All the Nordics: *even more screaming*

Snigger, snigger....

American elections are a vote between dumber and dumber, these days.

I wish! So many 'final tours' don't bother coming to Oceania, its so upsetting.

This is funny but sad at the same time

When an American loses argument. "We got freedoooom". Confused looking europeans, yes so have we.

They didn't understand the assignment

The thing with the imperial system, is that I in practice think it makes more sense because I grew up with it. In theory, metric all the way

Having to pay for an ambulance. Seriously? The USA is backwards with it's health care. Choose between necessary medical help or debt!

Bahaha. At least Emus are huge and have giant talons and are scary as f%$k when they are angry.

Uh, oh. You are in trouble. (Also, was it on purpose Switzerland is on the goofy one?)

At least SpaceX is actually used by NASA. Unlike Jeff Bezos and his big penis rocket for super rich tourists.

Please explain

This is very funny!!

I thought this was an American culture thread? Also, you really need to come to England and have some proper English grub.

Ha! That's nothing! I live in Western Australia. From our state capital, (Perth) it takes over 15 hours just to drive over the border to our neighbouring state of South Australia!

Americans don't drive 5 hours to the Grocery Store. But they do drive 30 minutes to go 10 blocks....

I mean, depends, like kind of hard to get your car off the island

My friend in Canada is three hours from the nearest Walmart. Meanwhile I, an American, have a Walmart fifteen minutes in every direction. She cannot comprehend this...

To go visit my sister is a 16 hour drive. I also learn recently that the state I live in is larger in area than the entirety of the UK. I found that incredibly weird.

NO, I live in England and it doesn't take me 5 hours to go to Scotland or Wales or the Isle of Man !!

Ahhh, yes, Australia Beeeg

From Vienna you could drive to three other countries in that time. You could even drive to the capitals of Slovakia and Hungary in that time. And they’re all beautiful, too.

I went on a 6000+ mile road trip across the county and had a blast. However, I'd hate to live too far from the grocery.

Three hours, traveling across the country. For a Spaniard 3 is a "prepare yourself, long travel ahead!". Full protocol. Water, something to eat (nuts, chips, some breadsticks?), maybe a little fridge and, OF COURSE, a stop to go to the bathroom and a coffee, drink or sandwich (or a full two-course + dessert lunch stop!).

Not remotely realistic.

Oooops

And in danish ... drumroll... fodbold (football)

Americans build buildings with cardboard and glue...?

I have cups in half a dozen different sizes in my kitchen. They are a ridiculous unit.

The irony of the USA thinking they are "free" compared to the rest of the developed world.

The European one is probably healthier. And I would choose over the other option. And I do not even smoke or drink coffee.

Pff, not exactly true. They'll want you to fill out a paper so they can charge the hurt person thousands of dollars. If you're hurt they'll want you to fill it out too. Broke both arms and they wanted me to fill out paperwork before they'd help me out it was a joke.

Is it just me or did I just feel hotter looking at the second picture?!

Coming to a UK near you....

Haha the head on the cup aligns with the man standing in the bleachers

Some of the last vestiges of the worst of colonialism has to do with oil. We really need to divest ourselves of those incredibly racist attitudes. We also need to divest ourselves of our dependence on oil. OIL. IS. A. FINITE. RESOURCE!!! Only so many forests and dinosaurs died to create it and we’re now obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel for it—-pun intended—-because we have to drill deeper and more expensively to find it, and pump an increasingly dirty and low dried crude that costs an arm and a leg to clean and refine—-ending up with a mere fraction that’s usable afterward. Not to mention the issues of transporting it from the oil fields to the refineries—-train wreck = environmental disaster for the place it wrecks + biohazard for that place’s residents. And don’t get me started on oil companies wanting to foul the few pristine wildernesses still in existence, for no other reason than they think there’s oil there and want to do some filthy and permanently destructive drilling just have a look-see and maaaaybeee find a drop or two of oil. Switching to alternative sources will loosen Big Oil’s stranglehold on us, and finally level the energy playing field.

Oh, I wish I could laugh at this...
