“America Meets The Internet”: 50 Uncomfortably Funny Memes About Living In The United States
Not every joke or witty remark will have you rolling on the floor laughing, but there’s usually a kernel of truth in most of them. Take any country as an example - there are countless jokes and memes about what it’s like living there and what still needs to change to improve the situation. Many people embrace the humor, though some think it’s offensive to read anything negative about their home.
The satirical Instagram page America Meets The Internet dissects American society through memes and screenshots of brutally on-point comments about the country’s current state. We’ve collected some of their funniest, most powerful, and most insightful posts to share with you. Scroll down, upvote the ‘American shenanigans and memes’ you agree with, and be sure to share your opinions in the comments, dear Pandas.

This! This makes me so mad. But it’s true. Gen Z is going to have to try and salvage this broken world we’re going to inherit, and we’ve messed it up so much at this point I don’t think we can. And the cycle will continue through generations. 5 am all nighter me hates the world right now

Living wage enforced by law, free healthcare, free (or at least affordable) education, affordable housing. These are not even slightly too far to the left. These are base pillars of propering society. We can see what is like to live without it. Fear, uncertianity, hopelessnes… it’s just not f*****g worth it.

It is the problem. She shouldn't have to use food stamps, she should have enough money, people should pay her enough. So she has to suffer while the wealthy throws away enough food a day to feed her family for a month. Edit: what the hell so many upvotes Thanks.

How long do they train to become a Police Officer? This is UK, btw ➡: "Upon commencement of employment all new recruits who will be serving in England will be enrolled on the Level 4 Non-Home Office Police Officer Apprenticeship delivered by the MDP. This is a two-year apprenticeship including 20 weeks of training, including Psych evaluations" Is it the same for American PO's?

its true, they do have this. and they can afford it, not due to spectacular natural resources (which they do have) but because their population is 5m. in the UK we have 70m. the latest generation is the largest ever, and the poorest ever. BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE. we must slow reproductive rates globally or we're all finished. but no-one wants to talk about that...

Who asked "were I on trial for being Christian would the jury return a guilty verdict" who was rejected by the American evangelicals for a womanizing actor whose wife consulted astrologers.

No. No. No. No. It’s more like “2+2= 4” “Stupid liberals can’t even do basic math. 2+2=5.” “I’m pretty sure it’s 4.” “It’s 5. Trump said so and *my* President would never lie to me.”

Because they want everybody in the military, like North Korea. Starting war after war. This is what our country is becoming, and it's gross.

Had a similar conversation with a younger friend. He asked if he could ask me a personal question...I said sure. How much is your mortgage per month on your house? I told him and he was shocked that he pays almost 30% more per month....on rent for a one bedroom apt. Even I didn't have it that hard at his age.

I'm not American, but even I was dreading reading this because of the amount of these articles here on BP that completely mock the USA - it's disrespectful at this point. However, I'm glad this article showed both sides. For all the absolute crazies, there are more thoughtful, intelligent Americans standing up to them. If you must post articles showing up countries, make them like this one that shows both sides. EDIT: Both sides meaning I while I read about bad things, I also saw good people correcting them and standing up for what's right. For those who didn't understand.

What do you mean by both sides? Firstly. And secondly, no it didn’t. It shat on America all the way until the two fun posts at the bottom.

BoredPanda staff, do you have absolutely nothing better to post that listicles constantly bashing the United States? It’s flat out sad and nasty. I’m not even from there, yet the constant nasty listicles like this are bordering on being flat out cruel. How would you like it if BoredPanda users constantly bashed your home country? Oh you wouldn’t? Then please stop with these lazy posts! This site has gotten so incredibly mean and negative anymore. You’re going to start losing a lot of readers.

I don’t like it either. We have so many problems in America but I still absolutely f*****g love it here. There’s so much awesome stuff about America that we could talk about. I could leave this place, nobody in my family lives here but me. But you’d have to drag me out of here kicking and screaming. America is fun, diverse, huge, difficult, beautiful, frustrating, charming, bland, all of those things. Highs and lows. There are definitely better places in some aspects, but not all aspects. There are worse places too. But I appreciate being able to live here. If my family wasn’t able to immigrate here just before I was born, I wouldn’t have this awesome and wonderful opportunity. We aren’t the land of freedom but we are do have chances here to be what we want to be. Many people don’t see it and many people have it hard enough to not really have many opportunities but for me, I’m so grateful and happy I’m an American.

For people who insist we respect other cultures, some on Bored Panda certainly don't bother to even try. Merry Holiday to you, too, Bored Panda. (Yes, I'm being a little bitter, but for crying out loud. Peace on earth, goodwill anyone? Anyone? Bueller?)

Yeah, this was a really nasty and cruel listicle especially right around the holidays. Wishing you a very happy holiday Leo ❄️⛄️
