American news makes headlines all over the world. But if we were to judge the US based entirely on what we read and hear on mass media, where the content is trying to manipulate us into clicking and scrolling, we could end up with a warped impression of the country. So let's see what average people have to say about it instead.
We at Bored Panda have searched the internet to compile a list of relevant memes about life in the United States, and are quite happy with what we found. These images made it to the forefront of social media platforms not because they were promoted by some publisher, but because they struck a chord with the users, and when put together, paint a pretty vivid picture of the place they come from.
Continue scrolling and check out America's hottest memes.

Meanwhile, in Europe: I spent almost 5 months in hospital. Me - I have time to recover while my life was in danger. My boss - oh, that's fine, take care. See you when you are healthy, we will wait for you. My colleagues: take care and do not worry, we will manage for you your stuff. My husband: we still have 80% of your salary, so it's ok. My country: here is the bill: 0 euros, apart from this 20% of your salary. We hope you are ok now. So, my country didn't collapse after that, the workplace was still in great condition, and my family was financially stable for the whole of this time. Americans live in some kind of scam.

I'd definitely vote for someone who would address this situation, but we are so deep into healthcare for profit, there are NO candidates to vote for to change it. No one in government is even considering a national healthcare system.

In Australia, I had uterus cancer. Queue the hospital appointed social worker. Was asked if I had sick days available for treatment, operation and recovery etc. I did. If I did not forms were at the ready to ensure social security coverage. Employer would not be allowed to take any action against me, job to return to guaranteed. Conversation with bank regarding suspending mortgage payments also available. Total cost to me? Some parking and public transport, under $100 all up. No medical bills, no stress just care and recovery however I needed it. I didn't but wow, even I had no idea how much backing I had it was liberating. Yes I recovered, cancer free after hysterectomy.

I know they don't have universal health care - but what about insurance, do Americans not have Income Protection at all?
IamMe 3 years ago
Massachusetts doesn't guarantee health insurance, but it will penalize you at tax time if you don't have any. So, you pretty much have to pay for private insurance through work. If you can't afford it, they take money at tax time. Still, don't give you insurance, so I'm not sure what that money goes to. The state does have free insurance, but it's not easy to get as an adult, and you can be cut off without notice. They will also sell it, yes the state will sell it to you, but again it's a lot of hoops to jump through.

But there are also a lot of Germans who can't even use basic English thanks to decades of translating/dubbing movies. and even if you are learning languages in school or university, you'd still have to practice it - a lot. So it's really good that you are trilingual, but that's definitely not the European standard. (and btw I studied 6 languages over the years and only English feels like the one language besides German where I can communicate on a proper level)

In fact, health care cost is the only issue of the 15 asked on the survey seen as a very big problem by a majority of Americans, though about half say that the federal budget deficit (49%), violent crime (48%), illegal immigration (48%) and gun violence (48%) also qualify.

Actually, the American accent is much closer to what England spoke 200 years ago than the English one is. So no, they don't speak the way the language was intended (not that language is supposed to be static). As for spelling, Americans have dropped letters that have no purpose over that 200 years. In not saying one is better or worse, but again, language isn't supposed to be static. And I've never heard anyone in America complain that you can't spell it even complain about the l your accent, we're happy if you can speak any English at all.

The symbol meaning has migrated over time as symbols tend to do.

At least that's how I see it as a fellow southerner. For me there are a couple sure fire ways to know I need to avoid someone just by their vehicle.

In case any non-us residents are curious, since the US is so large, its divided into regions or time zones according to the sunrise/set known as pacific Time (California and west coast) mountain time (the southwest) central time (middle) and eastern time (east coast)... and so saying 8/7c means 8 eastern time, 7 central time (east coast takes priority because its latest over there)
Kevin Richie 3 years ago
That would be 8 eastern time, 7 central time. Time zones, huh who would have thunk it?
The data also illustrates the division between Americans. Republicans and Democrats are far apart on the biggest problems facing the country.
Gun violence, the affordability of health care, the coronavirus outbreak, and racism are each seen as very big problems by two-thirds or more Democrats and Democratic leaners.
But far fewer Republicans say these are major problems in the country. Four-in-ten think health care affordability is a very big problem, and only about two-in-ten rate the coronavirus and gun violence as very big problems.

American here, and a history/government teacher as well. One point that is often overlooked by those who are pro-guns is that the "allowance" in our Constitution for civilians to own guns is actually addressing state run militias, not private gun ownership. This would mean that gun ownership was not meant to be a free for all for citizens and implies that citizens would only need them in a time of crisis/war deemed by the federal government. It should also be pointed out that many people in the U.S. who are pro-gun argue that the writers of the Constitution would not support how powerful the federal government is today over state power. Many of the writers and early members of the federal government were actually supportive of a more liberal interpretation of the Constitution that favored a powerful federal government.

Gotta disarm the police before we even consider disarming regular people. Reason being is that legal ownership of guns is the ONLY way many black communities are able to protect themselves from white supremacists and the police. Funnily enough, gun control in the US (and California specifically) actually has its roots in a reactionary tendency to disarm black revolutionaries like the Black Panthers. Reagan famously advocated for gun control to disarm the panthers because they had actually been able to use legal gun ownership to pritect their communities from police abusing their position of power. So... until we solve the problem of police brutality in the US, I fon't think I can support laws that take away guns. It's not fair to black American communities who historically speaking... have no police system that will ACTUALLY protect them
According to researchers behind the USC Polarization Index, a tool that helps organizations understand the level of discord in America and make more informed decisions about their own positions on various issues, the threats of destabilization are coming from within and outside of the country.
Some of the fake news has been propagated by foreign countries such as Russia, while social media users have aided – at times unwittingly — in its spread. These examples include fake news stories and tweets questioning Hillary Clinton’s health in the runup-to the 2016 election. Days before Election Day, Russian-run accounts were sowing doubt about election integrity.

True law-abiding Americans do not flaunt their legal firearms, which were obtained for the protection of their families and all loved-ones. The Nazis' during the 2nd world war … would take over a country by confiscating every citizens firearms (saying "for their own protection.") Then … when every citizen, man, woman and child was helpless, unarmed and totally defenseless … they were all murdered … executed in the streets. Never allow any government to make its citizens helpless, unarmed and totally defenseless against evil!!! NEVER! Get rid of the evil and maybe I'll unarm myself! Never ever before that!

“Political scientists had opined in the middle of the 20th century that there was really no difference between the Republicans and Democrats,” said Jenkins of the USC Price School for Public Policy and director of the Bedrosian Center. “In 1950, they urged the parties to stake out distinct positions on issues so that citizens would get different perspectives. Jump ahead to today, and it’s clear that you have a real choice between the two parties.
“We look back now and wish that maybe we hadn’t asked for that,” said Jenkins, who has been studying polarization for more than 20 years.
Hopefully, Americans can still come together. They need to if they want to tackle the biggest problems in their country.

New York - Tips for Aliens (From the one book more popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling than Fifty-three More Things to do in Zero Gravity, and more controversial than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes and Who is this God Person Anyway?): Land anywhere; Central Park, anywhere. No one will care, or indeed even notice. Surviving: get a job as cab driver immediately. A cab driver's job is to drive people anywhere they want to go in big yellow machines called taxis. Don't worry if you don't know how the machine works and you can't speak the language, don't understand the geography or indeed the basic physics of the area, and have large green antennae growing out of your head. Believe me, this is the best way of staying inconspicuous. If your body is really weird try showing it to people in the streets for money. Amphibious life forms from any of the worlds in the Swulling, Noxios or Nausalia systems will particularly enjoy the East River, which is said to be richer in those lovely life-giving nutrients then the finest and most virulent laboratory slime yet achieved.

When an American says 'you have scary socialist healthcare because we have defense', the truth is: the US spends more per capita than any other country on healthcare, yet coverage is less than third world level. For shame.

They tried charging me 1,000$ for two x-rays. My insurance and the hospital tried saying they weren't covered because it wasn't life threatening. I laughed and told each side, the hospital found I had walking pnuemia and had mentioned how I could've died if I waited another few days (I had been bed ridden for a few days at this point so doing anything was hard on my body) and told them to figure out between each other because they ain't going to see money from my end. Apparently they figured it out without me and without my money.

I have been on ACA since I started grad school (2017—graduated 2019), couple months after getting my first post-grad job COVID hit and that ended the job. Wasn’t there long enough to get their healthcare, so stayed on ACA. I pay a couple bucks a month for bronze level coverage. Gold coverage is still only about $20-$30/month. I start a new job end of this month, but it’s with a startup, so I’m keeping my coverage until the job takes off. Before ACA, I would’ve either been uninsured and paying full price if I needed medical treatment, or paying the bankrupting rates for COBRA (used to be the only way to extend your company health insurance after you left, and it was unaffordable for the majority of people).

Look at a map. Europeans have to know multiple languages because your countries are as small as our states. Drive 4 hours in Europe and you're in a different country. Drive 4 hours in most states and you're still in that state. Besides, most Americans can't fluently speak English.
Brenda 3 years ago
Many people are multi-lingual in the US. The problem is that they don't start teaching a second language until middle school (6th grade, about 11-12yo) or high school (9th-12th grades, about 14-18yo). By then it's much harder to learn. Daughter's elementary school offered ASL, Spanish, Mandarin, and French lessons free before school. She started ASL in 2nd grade (6-7). At 21 she still knows all the basics

Only that american dictionaries differ from british ones there. But it is getting even more complicated. As English is widely used for communication between european countries whose first language is not English, some linguist even claim that a new kind of language is evolving, which is a kind of English that draws heavily on German grammatics and derives new words mostly from French. "Euro-English" is thought to be slightly simplified as it originated in exchange student and young traveler circles. It also got some new vocabulary from the administrative practice of the European Union (, which is also mostly English and French, sometimes German - yes, you won't get far there without at least being trilingual) (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_English for details).
