The United States is a whole other world. From its enormous cars and cowboy-like freedom to the word "y’all" — and what’s up with the large restroom stall gaps? — there are so many little quirky things that the rest of the world simply can’t wrap their heads around. No wonder the land of opportunity often finds itself in the spotlight where people try to decipher the perplexities of the American lifestyle.
And if you really want to get a full picture of the world in the US, you have to see its weirder sides too. So good news to all the fellow fans of the American way of life! Today, we have a real treat that comes in the form of a 'No Context USA' Twitter account. This online destination offers a wild collection filled with entertaining, bizarre, and hilarious pictures, and we firmly believe that people who bleed blue, white, and red will also appreciate the tongue-in-cheek comments about their beloved nation.
"God bless America," says its description, and hey, thanks for being the perfect source of entertainment! Continue scrolling to check it all out, upvote your favorite posts, and don’t miss the chat we had about American stereotypes with travel writer and blogger from the US, Megan Starr.

If you’re not from the U.S.A., a lot of times there are trucks like this but with confederate flags, trump flags, and racist s**t. So the joke of you first look at it and think “oh god racist redneck” then boom
I'm a Christian (in the UK) and I don't believe that God wants us to be miserable and live a lie. I will continue to support and defend anyone who isn't hurting anyone else with their life choices. Also, the Bible was written by dudes thousands of years ago; furthermore, NOBODY I know follows the Bible 100%. So let's not pretend we are infallible, and let's not judge as God is meant to judge.
It seems that funny and incredibly out-of-context pics from America have quite a fanbase on Twitter. With over 103k people following the 'No Context USA' account, it’s easy to see why the page is quickly gaining popularity. Everyone enjoys a good laugh, and the land of the free is notorious for unique quirks unheard of in other parts of the world that are almost begging to be gently poked fun at.
Before we get started, let’s remind ourselves that everyone should find the courage and the ability to laugh at themselves. To mock both little and serious things, and embrace cultural weirdness in all of its glory. Every culture has oddities and peculiarities, after all. Some we understand, others — not so much. But it doesn’t mean we can’t chuckle at them like there’s no tomorrow.
Whether you’re local or not, you’re well aware that the internet’s obsession with the United States has gone beyond control. And the ideas about the American way of life have become pretty polarizing, with different sides blaring their truths without a second thought. While opinions about the country are usually far from great, it’s clear that not all typically American characteristics are negative.
So to gain more insight from someone who knows what they’re talking about, we reached out to Megan Starr who is originally from Virginia, US. She is one of the voices behind the acclaimed travel blog called Megan & Aram that’s dedicated purely to visiting Scandinavia, the Eastern bloc, and beyond. Before going on her adventures to explore and learn more about the world, she also traveled across the US, visiting every undeniably beautiful corner from Hawaii to the Great Lakes.
Asleep, snoring, and probably horrified if she comes across this photo, which I highly doubt she consented to having posted online. What was it that other article said we were slowly losing in 2022 - privacy, I think it was. Yup.
The good thing is, no one will recognize her, because after these cosmetic surgeries all look the same

I'm going to voice an unpopular opinion. Please do not downvote for disagreeing. But-when did it become ok to take photos of unconscious strangers, without their consent, post it in the internet, then make fun of their looks? Can we, as a society, stop making fun of other peoples' looks, bodies, sexual preferences, pronoun choices, etc-and just let people live their lives? More people need to stand up and say, no this is not right.
Unfortunately, making fun of people is human nature, it won't ever stop. Just be decent enough to be indecent in private and stop virtually parading people through the streets for the town's people to point and laugh. It's hurtful and in the end, makes you look like the AH.

leave this woman alone. you don't know what she went through and it's disgusting that he would post this for everyone to laugh at when she could be hurting because of it. Shame on him.
Indeed, what if she was in a horrific accident that required face reconstruction?

Please, humiliate a fellow human being who probably has issues you do not have any chance of comprehending.
I see a lot of ladies with this face...they are all married to old rich white men...and are all "from Florida" spoken in New York, New Jersey, New England accents.
Oof! It’s sad to see women with varying degrees of this dysmorphia, bloated unnatural features. More sad that media glorifies it.
Not sleeping. Her face is pulled.so tight her eyes and mouth cant close at the same time.
Her doctor is interested in her wallet and not her own wellbeing I see
Okay, the surgeon that did this needs to be whipped. Face so tight she can't even close her eyes and teeth/mouth having so much work done she can't close her mouth? Why is it so bad to grow old gracefully??
Sleeping with mouth open is normal for many people, stop exaggerating.

No... Seriously? Please tell me this isn't true! That is absolutely horrifying! Can't believe people pay so much money to look like THAT!
I would look worried too, if I saw this,(he looks a tad freaked out) but I also feel bad for her.
These over injected plastic airheads always have bizarre lumps and bumps from the filler migrating.
please leave her alone. You don't know what she could've went through so you shouldn't insult her. Just a reminder to consider other feeling before saying things like this. <3

According to Megan, blanket statements about her homeland are rarely accurate, and most attempts to generalize the entire US are likely to be at least a little off. "It is one of the most diverse countries on the planet," she told Bored Panda. "A person from Washington DC is not going to have the same beliefs as someone from rural Nebraska."
Megan revealed it would be quite foolish to believe any one stereotype about the US is true. "Exposure and our surroundings play a lot into our beliefs and ideals," she added.
"As someone who has spent 12 years living in Europe, I have realized that it seems to be okay to generalize the entire United States into one stereotype but if we were to do that about another country, we’d be that 'ignorant American' (yet another stereotype)."
Even Trump's MAGA hats are made in China, and so while he preach Only America first, he makes a profit off of his fans going against that principle.
We were curious to hear what common misconceptions Megan has heard throughout her travels. And it turns out, she’s heard them all. "'Loud Americans' — yea, we do speak loudly and confidently. But so do Canadians, the Spanish, the Italians, Brits, etc. It also helps that everyone can pinpoint an American accent and can understand English, meaning they are far more tuned into what someone is saying when they are speaking that way."
Another typical cliché Megan often hears a lot is "Ignorant Americans." But interestingly, the travel blogger added that if you’re meeting an American abroad, chances are you’re meeting the country’s best people.
"Some of the most ignorant people I have ever met have been European or Australian but I would never generalize an entire nation based on a chunk of its people," she added. "Again, I think this is something that is just deemed acceptable when you say it against Americans, but how dare anyone generalize a nation anywhere else. It’s kind of weird, really."
Of course, let’s not forget how easy it is for outsiders to come up with stereotypes when the complexity of this enormous nation is usually too hard for them to understand. After all, with such a diverse population and a melting pot of cultures, getting the full view of the country is definitely challenging. And Megan absolutely agrees with this line of reasoning.
"The complexity of ANY country is beyond the scope of a foreigner to grasp," she said. "That is why it is important to live abroad for a bit and understand a place before you make ignorant judgments about the society as a whole. The US is not a homogenous nation."

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me seven times ... when's the next time you'll be here?
But the likely false conclusions foreigners draw about the US make it an easy target for laughs, Megan continued. "The world sees our media and knows our movies. They think they understand the dynamics of our society."
"Not to get dark here, but it baffles me when I see people make jokes (yes, jokes) on TikTok or other social media platforms about kids getting shot in American schools. This would NEVER be acceptable in any other country," Megan continued. "And those same people don’t seem to realize that most Americans do want gun control, but the power lies in the hands of some rich, corrupt people in our society."
What’s even more frustrating, Megan has noticed that the same words and giggles would never be pointed in the direction of other societies. "For example, what is going on in Iran now. Lives lost anywhere in the world are not a joke or a reason to make humorous stereotypical comments."
He was actually forced to sell his soul to create such musical mastery. He's now down south, paying off the debt. It seemed like a good idea at the time

But there is some good news, thankfully. "I do see people taking a stand against these types of jokes nowadays," Megan said. "But, I am baffled at the people that think that these are funny."
"Nevertheless, I think most stereotypes have underlying meanings for almost any country and a backstory and I think these differences make the world a beautiful place (as long as it doesn’t oppose any groups in society)."
At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But "if someone can make a joke against a country but has never stepped foot in it or has only been to one city, the joke is kind of on them."
I see your school lunch and I raise you a dinner on a US navy ship.
According to the poster, it is Salisbury steak and canned squash. And they had run out of forks. Somehow exploring my curiosity made it worse...
Lastly, Megan wanted to ask people to stop stereotyping. "Simple as that. Realize that if you see a video of 'people not knowing a single country in Africa', you’re likely seeing the highlights of the worst of the people just as you see the funniest bits when you see a movie trailer."
"If you’re traveling abroad and you have run-ins with a society being rowdy and obnoxious at your hotel or hostel, chances are there are some people from that same society at a nearby hotel holding themselves together a bit more," Megan concluded.

I get it, the McRib is back, but this seems like an overreaction.

Okay, but a bunch of these aren't even specified that they're from the USA
a bunch of this stuff is just funny weird things that aren't really "american" or even stereotypical america
Interesting how BP refuses to hire anyone actually, you know, like, **IN** the U.S. If they did, maybe more of these would make sense.
